MISSED POTENTIAL

Last night the sTone Brothers were waiting patiently in the living room for someone to carry them out into the garden.

Nërp went in to oblige, but got caught up watching the Late News.

In the past I have always discouraged him from watching the news because… well, Donald Trump, really – I don't want N getting the wrong idea about humans – but now I've found another reason to discourage any interest in Current Affairs.

The news showed the unveiling of the London St Pancras [a major UK railway station] Xmas Tree, and… a 17ft Robot!

What with the Lord Mayor's Show featuring a huge robot and now this, Nërp has decided that he is not realising his true potential – Life is Passing Him By and he needs to Raise His Profile.

Honestly, I dread to think what this will entail, but I fear I shall find out in the fulness of time…
