Hello grot bags! We're ready to introduce you to another of my imaginary friends! How does it feel reading these posts by the way? When you're reading these week on week, do you feel like the thin veil of reality is slowly slipping away? Perhaps we're all freeing ourselves of the shackles of sensible thought and reason. Or perhaps you maybe just think "that's nice, Mandy" then carry on about your day. Perhaps that's best. Just leave me to it.

Erm... anyway, as I said, we're ready to introduce you to another Gobblin' Goblin! But alas and alack, he's gone and got himself arrested. Local PC Gribley is not letting him have any visitors, so I can't ask him my usual set of questions. Luckily for you, dear reader, an unnamed (see I couldn't even be bothered to keep coming up with names) source at the goblin police station has handed me his crime report. So, without further ado, I present to you, Swipey Gobbo:

That sounds like our Swipey alright. He means well, he just forgets which side of the law is the one you're supposed to be on. Luckily for him, the Goblin legal system works a bit differently to the human one, and he'll probably just be made to eat 3 padlocks and go straight to bed. Until next time weirdos!
