Brian

A bit of a fun photo today, as my Brian the Robot finally arrived.

I ordered him in March, when I bought some house insurance through Confused Dot Com, the online price checker.

It's a good toy as it has it can be posed, talks and moves through friction power.

We also have a couple of meerkats as well, that we got for other insurances through Compare The Market Dot Com.

I came across these cute little fellows whilst wandering around B&Q late yesterday afternoon.

It's surprising how popular the meerkat has become, since the TV series a few years ago.   You see models, photos, stuffed toys everywhere. Even the insurance company Compare the Market has got in on the act, with their 'Compare the Meerkat' adverts, and the promise of a stuffed character toy if you take out one of their policies. They must be doing well, as they currently sponsor Coronation Street.

I think I like the private detective the best. He's amusing with his bow-tie and trench coat. What's yours?
