Babo called our local supercar dealership today to try and arrange a test drive of a car (she wouldn't listen that it was christmas day and that the people who work there would all be off on their xmas holidays).
Babo was adamant that she could acquire the keys of a sports car for a day or two and marched round to their door to sort this out!
She knocked on the door several times to no answer and then started shouting "cooo-eeeee" through the letterbox until a figure moved in the back room. Unknown to Babo The Stig from Top Gear had been drafted into the dealership as a security guard over the festive period.
Babo tried to ask Stig for the keys to a 911 Turbo, no response from the Stig so Babo moved down to a 911 Carerra, still no response. Babo was beginning to get a little annoyed and decided to try and stare Stig out - unfortunately she's not watched Stig on TV before so he's still standing there now!!!

Uglyworld #253 - Thank You Santa
Ice-Bat was very hard to keep under control ever since I showed him the present Santa had left for him earlier today, we even considered sedating him for a few hours so that we could get some peace and quiet, but thankfully he lowered his blood pressure all by himself by the time dinner was served.
After dinner we sorted out all the presents under the tree and made Ice-Bat wait until everything else was opened (he complained at first, but once we explained that it meant everyone would be watching him open his he was really excited again).
Finally when all the other presents had been opened it came the turn of Ice-Bat to open his present from Santa, we told him to be gentle as it could be something fragile inside, so he flew up and then using the tip of his wing cut through the paper to reveal the contents of the present.
"A big brother, all for me, Santa is the coolest person alive, after my new big brother of course!", screamed Ice-Bat at the top of his lungs.
It would appear Father Christmas is 100% alive and kicking after all - cheers Santa!

Uglyworld #237 - Ice-Bat's Excitement
After Ice-Bat wrote his letter to Santa earlier in the month he has been very quiet and only really speaks when he has to. When everyone was getting ready to pack the presents into the car today I found an extra present under the tree which I hadn't noticed before.
I shouted to Ice-Bat who slowly fluttered over to where I was and asked what he had done wrong, I replied "nothing, but look what Santa has left under the tree for you".
For a couple of seconds he just looked at the tag and the present it was attached to, then he turned and looked at me half puzzled, half excited, and then once again back at the present before lifting off of his feet directly upwards at around 250 miles per hour and then went whizzing all around the room (he was getting so crazy we opened the door to let him out into the garden as there would be less chance of him hurting himself.
I just hope it's what he wished for!!!

Uglyworld #235 - Ugly Xmas Tradition Of The Cookie Queue
Tonight we were treated to what Babo referred to as "a really, really, really important tradition in the history of Uglydolls".
On the night of 23rd of December once all of the smaller uglies are already in bed fast asleep the big uglies all get together to recreate the historical act known as the "Cookie Queue".
I asked Babo what they needed to make it happen and what all was involved, Babo took me to the side and whispered, "Can you bring us some cookies? In all of the excitement I forgot to get them today!". I told him I could arrange this no problem if he told me a little more about the ancient ritual they were going to re-enact.
Babo explained that it was the way that the uglies grow from being little to big - that as the clock changes from 23:59 to 00:00 on the 23rd/24th December all the big uglies must be queued up and ready to take a cookie from the jar one by one until they all hold one in their hand at which point they all must eat them together.
I asked Babo what would happen if one of them forgot about the ceremony or there were no cookies available, to which he replied "terrible doom, best not to even think of this as we have cookies and all of us are ready".
As the clock struck midnight Babo started the procession as they each took a cookie from the jar and then once all were standing ready with cookie in hand they all munched them together.
It was akin to watching a wildlife program on the discovery channel with hidden cameras setup to capture the action, really cool!!!

Uglyworld #234 - "Is It An Early Xmas Present For Us?"
Wage and Babo had heard me answer the door earlier this evening and wondered who was there and more imporantly what they wanted (i.e. had they brought anything interesting, or tasty for that matter for them to "take care of" for me).
I told them that it was only some local kids selling homemade biscuits in order to give a better christmas to blind local rabbits (not sure how they bought that story, but it seemed to work all the same).
Later on I summoned Babo and Wage to the living room where I told them to stand perfectly still with their hands over their eyes. After catching them both peeking through their fingers a few times they finally did the job properly, and I placed something in front of them and then quickly got the camera ready and shouted "ok, open your eyes NOW!!!".
The expressions on both of their faces as they turned to each other and shouted "TRAY" was simply priceless - as you can see in the photo they even held hands for a brief second or two amidst all of the excitement!!!
P.S. The hat Wage is wearing is my first ever attempt at crocheting, and I reckon it came out quite well :)
