I walk this earth, unbeknown to human kind an heir to Legends, men of mighty deeds who through the force of fire and stars we find those such as I the offspring of their seeds. Hercules, his power and strength unmatched was challenged by the Gods, challenged in vain, the Hydra by his own hand was dispatched and Nemean Lion, too, met fate the same. Achilles, near invincible I'll admit (and yes I know he sometimes dressed like ladies) sent countless warriors into the pit ne'er to return, unseen the realm of Hades. Fin MacCoul took on Aillen, Tuatha De Danann, when each year on Tara the creature rounded, but finally fell by the spear of man and sleeps until Dord Fiann thrice is sounded. With Hammer, Iron glove, from Nordic stock the mighty Thor showed Jotnar who was boss, until his end foretold at Ragnarok, a testament in stone on Thorwalds cross. From such as these who stories shall not end, these champions and Gods, what e're their names, I also by my deeds now do descend to stand among their ranks and stake my claim. For I, too, am Hero. I change a three pin plug without a thought without referring to a diagram, assembling flat pack furniture is nought, no need have I of cryptic two page plans. Foregoing sleep, no need for sustenance household spiders with glass I stalk and snare then fearlessly propel them over fence to neighbour's garden where they languish there. The lids of pickle jars cannot withstand onslaught from twisting sinews in my wrist, abhorring a vacuum, by my command they pop, admit defeat, cannot resist. The elements and I stand face to face as windows I squeegee atop a ladder, my maiden below holds me firm in place yet fearful lest I should relieve my bladder. My Lady is thus pleased I wield such powers, I take her approbation with a nod, happy she won't now nag me for an hour for by these feats, for once- I am a God.

Yesterday I managed to get the top off a sports drink bottle without swearing, nette. There is no end to my powers.... x

I can't stop laughing. Maybe you are right. If Finn mc Coul were around now, you would bewitch him with your knowledge of three pin plugs. I see him scratching his head in wonderment.

God, what a coincidence Viv, Arthur is also writing poems about the Celts and I have just mentioned the causeway to him. A one pin plug?? Like the pyramids, us ancient Irish were way before our time.

Did you know that the Giant's causeway is actually a collection of ancient one-pin plugs, Jean? Finn knew what he was doing. Thanks for popping by, Viv x

I'm sure you'd be beheld as a god in the eyes of any woman you climb a ladder for to clean her windows, or capture spiders before they attack her, or as you gallantly put together furniture without reading instructions (just like a man...haha) You're indeed a hero figure in PS, Viv.

No doubt you have no problem with Manx Spiders, Jan, although they are probably good swimmers. Keep the bath plug in. Viv x
