    A few night shifts later and I am back in the land of the living.....number 4 NSD into the Cauldron of Doom it goes!

    Now, Igor, where are my winnings from Hubert's race? A pound each way at odds of 500,000 to one means I should have.....26 pence???????? Is that all? Hubert wins the race for novice non-horses in stilettos, and all I get is 26 measly pence????'' Which bookie did you go to?

    Oh, Bert' s Bookies.

    Not Bert, as in Bert "Let Me Rip Your Hand Off For A Modest Fee" Scroggins????
    You say there's betting taxes, bookies fees and overheads? What overheads? Two poles, a tarpaulin and a banana crate?

    Oh, he had to source an ecologically-sustainable banana crate himself from the West Indies.....Ok, but that doesn't help the Nargle slush fund.......

    ...Anyway, I am now off to do a stocktake of my shoe collection. I see the strand of human hair I stretched across the shoe cupboard door has been broken, and the biscuit crumb I left on the carpet in front of the door has been crushed, so intruders have been about.....let us see ......

    Aaaarrggghh! The cupboard is bare! Some #@*¡%€#! has had it away with my shoe collection....Oh, my Precious....my lovely lovely Precioussss....
