HK Smooth Operator

2010’s Santa has discovered a new form of transport, the Segway. The reindeer seems to approve, as he now gets a cushy ride on the back. Santa is addicted to speed and flattens a hedgehog and a snail. Notice the name Karen on one of the present’s gift tags. This is in reference to “Loopy Lady” Karen, an HK proprietor in England, who keeps Peter in touch with the real world. Inscribed on the lid is the name of a character in Peter’s son Sam’s favourite books - Skulduggery Pleasant the skeleton detective. “Doh” was added when Peter realised he had spelt his name wrong (too many LLLLLL’s). May 6 is Election Day in the UK. The initials of the next Prime Minister are also on the lid. It will either be Gordon Brown (again), Nick Clegg or David Cameron (who looks like Henry from the Thomas the Tank Engine stories). The interior shows Peter’s son’s favourite gift, the Nintendo DS + R4 card.
