"It's a Wor with a W and a Wor with an O"

Well this is going to be a fun blog, (unless something drastic happens outside my window any minute now!)
Yikes! Flying Pigs and Cows Nesting in Trees...
Just kidding! Chill Baby! Cows really can't climb trees. I think! Must Google and check!>;0)

Anyway where was I? Oh yes fun blog.
I have recently been rummaging through my drawers (Ah hem, No sniggering at the back thankyou, you filthy swines.) I was actually looking for some evidence of my inspiration to write when I was younger for "Show and tell" for My Space Blog and I came across this wonderful little Jewel that I had forgotton all about from my dim and distant past.

Now I am not claiming that this inspired to me to write by any stretch of the imagination, but I did love it all the same, hence I have decided to throw in a Book Review on Non Other Than... (Drum Roll)....


W.O.R.Z.E.L Gummidge!!!! Yeah!




I loved this tatter old scarecrow because he always got into so many scrapes and lots of food fights with "Aunt Sthally" (Sally, He had a particularly nasty lisp!)
Here's food for thought... Do you think he and Sally got down Giggy with it? Can you imagine a wooden fairground doll and a dried out scarecrow, stuff with straw, banging away in some farm yard barn... The friction burn alone would be enough to cause at least a small smouldering bush fire!!





I also had the upmost respect for him because he was also once Doctor Who! I personally think he kept his Doctor Who head in his suitcase, just in case Davros the Dalek leader invaded earth again. (He could change his heads! And now you begin to understand why I get a thrill out of horror stories!)Okay, I am getting a tad surreal now.

And before anyone can shoot me down in flames the use of the word "Chocklit" was not invented by the brilliant Matt Lucas as Margery Daws in his "Fat Fighters" scene in the Little Britain series, it was in fact Worzel who said it first and if you don't beleive me then read the book.

In fact read the book anyway, if are of a certain age (not neccessarily of certain maturity!) you will definitely appreciate it. You can find it on sale in all good Antique book shops and on most car boot sales!

Nuff said. I am off for a "Nice cuppa tea and a sthlice of chocklit cake. That I am!"
