Well, it's not true. He has a chronic fear of flying brought on by a nasty papercut he sustained as a 2 year old playing with a paper aeroplane.

He's really camping out in the front garden with a selection of cheap foreign lager, a battery powered stereo and a few Greek CDs for the ambience.

No. I am generally a figure of extreme politeness and really, brought my boy up to be better behaved than he demonstrates on here.

Unfortunately, he took the mantra 'if a thing is worth saying, it's worth saying a million times' a little bit too literally.

He may come across like a badly manufactured talking toy doll with a limited number of phrases, but his heart's in the right place.
