:O) It would have to resemble his ass and a voice would be coming out of
it. The name was great fun when it first hit the highstreet though, the
thought of a superstore where Warlocks could pop in and get themselves a

:O) We used to have a prog o ch4 where this guy went round skips (do
they call those huge lozenge shaped bins skips over there?) collecting
anything from furniture to cardboard tubes, which he would make better
furniture out of. Basically you could refurnish your house for
nothing... of course it would smell of cat pee and rotten vegetables.
