To reality and beyond ... 9 'Toy's Story

You may not think so but it’s been a busy kind of week for me and blogging. I know, I know, I can see you looking around my blog to see where all this hard work is being hidden (well apart from 80 words for SAHD's new linky!) Has Fingers created a new secret tab or section somewhere that contains some new work, or is it indeed cunningly hidden behind that piece of cake on the table next to you? So no you’re not mistaken, nothing new to see here... no all this hard work has been for others, my blogging journey has seen me writing verses in the theme of a wandering minstrel about cake and Buffy and a bit of ghost writing

So with all that done, my thoughts turned to me and what I should write about next, I was tired and uninspired and lacking in any real ideas. As I sat messing on my laptop, the 6th finger also sat flicking through the dirge of television to find something to keep her occupied. She flicked endlessly from channel to channel, reality show to soap and back to reality shows (god I hate soaps and reality show). It was at that point I drifted slowly to a virtual world somewhere else... at least I think it was virtual...

As my eyes focused again I saw the strangest of sights on the TV... I rubbed them again but it was still there, it was true..... I found myself watching, Celebri-toy Big Brother!!

Picture the scene .... the opening shot pans across Cambelwick Green Locks and onto the newly updated Lego house, home of the Big Brother Toy House, crowds of small toys gather out front and the voiceover man utters those somehow famous words 

The CTBB House
‘Good evening and welcome to Celebri-toy Big Brother ... as nine toys enter the house all competing to win this years star prize!  This year the top toy will win the opportunity of a lifetime to re-launch their flagging career with Disney & Pixar creating the very latest 3D film featuring the CTBB winner. With the film due for an October 2012 release date, merchandising and sponsorship deals are sure to be bountiful and the winner could easily become ‘Christmas Toy ‘ of the year for 2012. ! For the lucky toy,winning CTBB will not only change their life, it could actually ‘save’ their life (from being stuck in the loft, or the indignity of being sold at a local car boot)! So come with me and let’s meet the toys competing this year as they arrive at the house’ 

Cue.. matchbox limosines pulling up and a stream of toy contestents making there way to the door of the house...
