The Frumplingtons

Not long till Christmas lunch now. Don’t forget the sprouts! (This little Flash game will not only test your mouse control; it’ll also push your, ah, windpower to the limit. Thou hast been warned…)

It’s 1st December — or as near as dammit, anyway — so that means the run-up to Christmas has officially started. With no further ado, I hereby declare that Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer is old hat, a has-been, yesterday’s star.

But surely there can’t be anything better than dear old Rudolf! I hear you cry. Oh yes there bloomin’ well can! Meet Dominick, the Italian Christmas donkey. We’ve only heard this twice, absolutely love it and will spend the rest of the year going ‘hee-haw hee-haw’ at each other. (Yeah, so what’s new?)

Just spent ten minutes making online sand paintings. (Hint: it might help to read the background and overview first.)

I don’t usually bother with Internet memes. In fact, this is the first one I’ve ever done. It’s called ‘Debut Album’ and here’s how it’s done: READ MORE >>

The Peugeot website has a car parking game you can try. You’ll need that shockwave Flash thingy installed if you want to have a go. Oh, and don’t have too many drinks beforehand; you wouldn’t if it was real driving, would you? And no talking on your mobile phone. And whatever you do, mind the little dog when you get to the last level. Yes, I know I sound as if I’m nagging, but I just want you to do well, that’s all. I finished in just over two minutes.
