Okay okay, nothing interesting happened today either. New idea: Dear Victor gives me one topic a day to talk about. Today, he's handed me Cuddly Toys: Friend or Foe?
Answer: Friend. I would love to introduce you to the collection of stuffed animals I haven't had the heart to throw away, now forming a kind of committee at the bottom of my wardrobe at home, but don't think that would exactly be cutting edge blogging. Okay, okay, if you're that desperate to meet them: There's Old Bear - he's twenty five. slightly younger than me, but about 608 in stuffed bear years. He's seen a lot. Go to him with your dilemmas and he will give you solutions in a voice similar to that of Mr Miyagi. Then there's Jethro the Giraffe, picked up from a trip to London zoo many years ago, and Elmo, who likes to dress up:
Business Elmo
Elmo Hepburn
...and many bit part players who were won at raffles, given as gifts etc. I am proud to say I have never thrown away a cuddly toy in my life, no matter how ugly, soppy or unwanted. To throw away a cuddly toy is akin to burning a book in the sacriledge stakes.
When one disposes of cuddly toys, one ultimately disposes of people
There are only four instances when they might be considered foe:
In Toy Story 3
When stuffed with razor blades
When they are plush versions of nasty cartoon characters eg. Cartman/Stuey. No-one wants to snuggle up to homicidal babies when trying to sleep.
When possessed.

A more trying question next time please, Victor.
