RightI was camping with my friends last summer, in the Gower, West Wales.
We were near some sand dunes, and one night we were sat around a fire in these dunes.
Some very nasty boring types came along and tried to be our friends, but they were thet type of people who wear white caps and talk like Ali G. 'Townies' we refer to them as round my parts.
Anyway, we got bored of these folk pretty soon, and people in my group drifted apart to get away from the 'townies'.
I realised, after ten minutes of being alone among aggresive types, that I was not comfortable here, and knew nobody, so,
donning the sleeping bag I had brought along with me, I ran up a dune to find people I knew.
With a sleeping bag atop my head, almost as a cape, I saw two friends of mine observing the townies from above. I declared that I was a dune goblin and to give me all their drink.
(I was already failry drunken)
They found this hilarious, and we giggled all the way back to the tent.
In the tent, we somehow came to be talking about naming our children, and I said I would call my kids
'Bungle, Jeeves (whom I would make wear a suit and serve me port) and Sir Sand Goblin the second.
For the rest of the camping trip, people called me Sir Sand Goblin, and I assumed the role of a Brian Blessed style wizard and told all that 'You will refer to me as Sir Sand Goblin'
Everyone alse got assigned names, such as 'He of eternal Stoneage' and 'Imp of the Fat arse'
Sir Sand Goblin has kind of turned into my nickname ever since.
It was most entertaining.
Perhaps you had to be there.
