Do you ever feel like throwing something at the wall?

Some friends of mine have been on holiday to Wales - had a fantastic time - and their small son brought me back a little gift.

The gift is a bright red Dragon!

He looks very sweet and I am sure I read somewhere it is illegal to go to Wales and not buy a Dragon - but - he sits on top of a solar panel and dances when the sun shines on him - which would be OK if he would do it quietly! Instead all I can hear is tick, tick, tick, tick - like a demented clock. I have moved him to different window sills with less sun but still he ticks - it is driving me crazy. If I stick him in a dark cupboard I'll be arrested for racism or cruelty to Dragons - or both!

Help, Rhian, what is the Welsh for 'Shut up!.

Eeek - I'd be invaded by hordes of angry Welsh people, Floydy, Dragons are a protected species!

Besides which - there are no batteries - just a small solar panel, also he is made of plastic, and we all know how indestructible that is!

I wonder - a strip of insulation tape over the solar panel might stop him dancing? Or, would that be too cruel? He is rather cute - just noisy!

Play Shakin' Stevens records at it. That will surely kill it

NOOO!!

He is much too cute for that - not to mention it would alienate every Welsh person for miles. There would be no welcome in the hillside or the valleys - and my secret supply of Welsh cakes would be stopped immediately.
