Llywela - High Priestess of the Cult of Ernie

thanks smiley - smiley *takes a bow*

... 'kay, I give in. An explanation is in order, and it goes thus:

Ernie is the single most important part of my title, the light of my lifesmiley - winkeye I am a long-standing member of a growing band of loyal followers, currently anxiously awaiting his return from the darkness into the light. There were those who believed it would come about last Wednesday, but alas they were mistaken. And there are those who feel it will happen tomorrow, but myself I feel it will take longer and am prepared to wait, patiently, until his return.
(Incidentally, my fellow High Priestess forms one half of a bizarre creature which roams the Scottish lowlands and is known to the world as Shaross.)

Agent 1-3 (13, my lucky numbersmiley - biggrin) is the Professional Devotee of the Sunshine of Goldilocks.
This is a thinly veiled reference to a 70s cult TV cop show, to which I am ever so slightly addicted. Great fun, it's fantasticsmiley - ok
The clue is in the title for any Brit who was alive in the 70s.

Chieftain of Laziali is fairly self-explanatory to those who, like me, follow the wonderful world of calcio.


there, now, that should make everything about as clear as mud smiley - biggrin
'nuff said. I'm off for a cuppa smiley - tea

smiley - wow

I was thinking Ernie as in Ernie and Bert (you guys did watch Seseame Street when you were little, didn't you?)... Goldilocks as in she and the three bears... apparently I was on a kid-kick last night. smiley - winkeye

um, I did, yes, and oddly enough my sister once had a pair of cats called Bert and Ernie ...

but nope, not a bear in sight. Goldilocks was the nickname of a character in the show (never was sure why)

Ernie is a nickname a group of us crazy fools gave to a footballer (from Argentina, plays in Italy) who is currently injured ... hence the long, sad wait for his return smiley - biggrin which fingers crossed will come soon.

lol

this evil Brit was being deliberately vague ... did it work?smiley - winkeye

(I think the goldilocks thing was only actually mentioned a couple of times, but it goes well with the sunshine bitsmiley - cool)

the Ernie thing is a much longer story. Get well soon, sunshinesmiley - biggrin we miss you!

We have this really disgusting Bert&Ernie spoof. It's rude yet strangely funny.
