you must travel to the west of the kingdom
and quest for the long fabled egg of the mighty dragon Thrafmador - 3 leagues tall and with eyes the colour of flaming rubies. It is guarded by many a monster and trap, since the jealous King of Flapnorot declared dragons to be a curse upon the land and commanded them to be put to the sword and the final egg to be sequestered beneath the reach and ken of mankind.

If this far you have reached, your quest is only beginning. To incubate and hatch a dragon egg requires strange magics which will take a lifetime to master. You must find the one mage in the kingdom left with the knowledge of these arts and complete his 7 tasks which prove your capability and commitment.

After decades of training maybe you will be ready to hatch the egg, but have a care, dragons, despite their size are flighty beasts and require training lest they devour you and all that you love for breakfast.

The road is fraught with dangers and challenges, Shambolic, are you ready to face the quests and the traumas of this path? Do you desire it enough to leave behind all that you once were?

If the answers are yes and your heart is free of doubt, then you go with my blessing and, I am sure, those of the whole Council of Off Topic.

Ride well.

It was £250 plus £50 for using my card whilst being overdrawn.

Great news, my uncle has finished reading Chris Evans' autobiography.
He's bringing it round after work. So that's what I'll be occupying myself with this weekend. Saving myself for next Saturday which will be a fantastic 'we have more drugs than Boots' affair.

Not really. I mean usually when I watch TV or a movie it's because I want to just enjoy it,
I'm not keen on depressing or tragics, or on romcoms. I'd rather watch a Fish Called Wanda to Atonement, for example.
