Today whilst in town I witnessed an effect that I have been tracking for some time. I am speaking of course of the unique power/field/gravitational pull of the catalogue shop: Argos.

Did you catch bill bailey "part troll"?

he did a skit likening the wonders of argos to a dragon horde, and the staff to little goblin hordekeepers.

I love Bill Bailey.

man putzt die linke Bein ein, die linke Bein aus, ein, aus, ein, aus, man schwenkt die alles um. Man fahrt das Hokey Cokey und man dreht sich herum. Das ist die ganze Sache.
Ja, das Hokey Cokey x 3
Knie gebogen, Arme gestreckt. Ra Ra Ra.

I've only seen it twice!

Course you know, the GLC have immortalised the romantic aspect of Argos in their song, You Knows I Loves You. Yes indeed, you can get something a bit like gold and a bit like diamond for a stunning £12.99 from Elizabeth Duke!
It's valentine's day next week. It's commercialised and over-sentimentalised, but just think how many more stroppy-faced shell-suited trollops there would be in Wolvo if it weren't for Argos? At least, with a classy goldish sovereign, or one of those swinging clown thingies, or a nice little ring set with your birthstone, or one of those heart shape pendants that splits in two so you can both wear half - without these wonderful gift ideas, the ladies would have nothing but their very tight hair to pull their mouths back into some semblance of a smile. Don't give gravity a chance! Go, live and breath the dream that is Argos!
