The King of Spain

Spoons!

About Me

.. width="425" height="350" .. MyGen Profile Generator I am The King of Spain. Exiled at birth for a crime i did not commit, i promptly escaped to the Carlisle Underground, where i survive as a soldier of (mis)fortune. My many talents include the ability to command sea horses, a working knowledge of cutlery, a passion for crayola, an in-depth fear of the avuncular and several atempts at floundery. People i have met include Dogtanian and the three Muskahounds, Cecil P. Craddock, the man from Del Monte (who was curiously indecisive), Raymond Burr, Jeff and Dave. Sometimes late at night, i sneak into public buildings and dance the jitterbug like it's going out of fashion - which it has.

My Interests

Frequently mistaken for a Parsnip. Metaphorically similar to Jesus. The Social equivalent of Coal. Orthoclase Feldspar. The Flight of the Navigator. The kind of book no-one reads. An invisible waistcoat dancing around in the Sun. The Prime-Minister of an Unknown Country.

Fables, Parables and Miracles

Does anyone remember Fables, Parables and Miracles with Alvin Stardust? It was on sunday mornings in the early eighties. Surely i can't have imagined it.
