Grit in the Gears

I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

Gromit Saves The Day

I don't do football, not at all. Even when the football is the world cup. Yes, I know you Americans call it "soccer"... (which is a contraction of "Association Football), but I do enjoy the work of Aardman Animation, and I'd vote for Wallace and Gromit as best animated characters ever. Eat your heart out, Disney.
They've just made a new world cup themed commercial for NPower.

Hmmm, they are nice. I still like that bear you turned me on to. "Bernard"
2018 is a while off, but one thing I know about small business, they gotta get a jump ahead.
