    There are probably a few on this forum that can remember the real Mr XXXX a midget that was around in the 60's. That was before I moved to Sydney for work at that wonderful company called Leyland Aust.


    cheers

    So are you hinting there is a connection between your departure and the disappearance of Mr XXXX

    When I see the XXXX, I can't help but recall Terry Pratchett's awesome book "The Last Continent" about a country called Foureks... great reading...

    He used to have news stands in the CBD in the days of trams. Well known local character. Don't recall his name.

    A mate from my salad days has one of these in his billiard room/bar. It is the original dwarf variety of Mr. XXXX. He says it followed him home from a heavy night out when he was a merry bachelor. His flat mate of the time told me he woke up in the mid morning and blearily went to the kitchen looking for a cold drink and asked the flat mate who brought Mr. XXXX home. " You did. In a taxi." "Oh ****. Where did I leave my car?"
