erastesThat's a phrase that's stayed with me from the first time I ever read my first Paddington book. He gets into a mishap with cream cakes at the station buffet, and that retort was made by the taxi-driver when the Browns took him home.
I think it's a work of utter genius. No-one ever really boggled that 1. There was a bear at Paddington station. 2. He could talk, (English, without an outrageous South American accent), wear clothes, have a bath (disastrously) and loved marmalade sandwiches. A Hard Stare was also I took away from that first book. I owe a lot to a little bear from Darkest Peru.
Happy Birthday Paddington!
And whilst I was looking for a graphic, I found this wonderful site. *evil chuckle* Corrupt the little children for they are deserving. (not work safe in spots)

'Till they call the cops out,
Bump in a dump 'til you're dead,
But you gotta get a gimmick,
if you want to get ahead!
Once I was a schleppa
Now I'm Miss Muzeppa
With my revolution in dance!
Get yourself a gimmick
If you want to stan a chance!
Everything's a show tune cue!!
