Am so with you on this one sister - friggin' instruction leaflets (the ones for Transformer Autobots simply show the before - car - and after - robot) with a series of multicoloured arrows linking the two. WTF???!!! This implies that the car will execute a series of highly camp dance moves (to rival Spidey from the sounds of things) accompanied by disco lights before helpfully transforming itself into said robot. Does it? Does it arse. On Christmas morning Daniel looked at me, looked at the instructions, looked at me again, and then said (with the devastating faith of a four-year-old) 'I am so lucky that my Mummy is my one true love and the cleverest woman in the world and can make my Transformer into a robot'. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Resisted the temptation to trample said Autobot underfoot (although such an action would certainly have transformed it and simultaneously broken the heart of my one true love) and instead the first alcohol of the day was consumed. All this before 6am. The cleverest woman in the world plans to join Buddy Bear in rehab in the New Year.... Yes, yes, yes!!

I just wanna see how you work rabid monkeys into the next few months. Rabid monkeys blogging in my hungover head, rabid monkeys blog New Year's resolutions better than I do, rabid monkeys have nothing on a kid who stays up until midnight to see the ball drop. These are just suggestions. I wouldn't dream of second guessing your genius. Until, that is, technorati starts ranking style and substance. Then you'll be so powerful and loved that you won't need to pander to the three of us. ;-) Happy New Year. Hope you keep your head above water for another twelve months! I know, I know. One day at a time. Tickled as pink as the headset.

I would have naturally assumed that the songs on their Karoaoke machine would have Disney orgin, just so they could hammer in more Disney in the subconcious. As for other annoying toys, it's so easy to "make them dissapear." I am planning an assasination on a few myself. I am a little disappionted in the Disney Corp.
