I've only written a small amount on this page so far and I've just realised I sound like a basket case...oh well..

A long time ago I started collecting gargoyles. I'm not very good at collecting so there are only actually 8 of them so far. Not really sure what it is that I like about them. I think it's the mixture of their sinister good looks, and their innocent expressions. As I am a sad old trout I've named them. Anyone that knows me well will realise that most of them are called Bob (most things I own are called Bob if they aren't called Bernard...they just are). My gargoyles have spread out over the new house...I think they might be breeding...

Bob

Bob the baby gargoyle who sits, sucking his thumb on my cd cabinet, often likes to dive into my head whilst I'm dusting. Serves me right for dusting perhaps? He hasn't managed to crack my skull open yet (it just feels like it) but I think he's working on it. See the expression 'seeing stars'...they're quite right there. Baby Bob has been declaired possesed by my slighty more religeous auntie.

Boris reads his book on a plinth on my mantlepiece. I think it's War and Peace as he's been there a few years. He looks slightly peeved as he has a bit of old chain around his neck (I'm not taking any chances with this one as he's bloody heavy) and he has a small bit of dead Christmas tree with him. My christmas tree lasted from December to June in the living room of my second flat.

Boris

Bernie

Bernard with his laptop is peering at the TV, not working at all, lazy sod. He obviously likes me as has never tried any assasination attempts.

Bob the first sits on my bedside table with a candle in his back. Whilst Bob has every right to feel bitter he is seemingly without malice.

Bob 1st

Impy sitson the beurau. I broke with tradition and named this one somelthing that didn't start with a 'B' (there's probably a name for people fixated by the name Bob). Impy tried to break my ankle once. He leapt off a desk and went for me. Hey, I'd dusted him too. There's a pattern emerging!

I'm not going to subject you to all 8 as this is getting like one of those 'look at my 100 pets!' pages. Hmm, anyone looking for pets, I can highly recomend gargoyles as they are fully house trained and will sit and listen to you even if you're talking as much bull as I am now :) Just be prepared for the slightly sadistic idea of fun and remember....never dust them after dark!

Obviously you just do 'save as..' and save them on your own machine! I will try and add as many as I can here.
