Childhood terror

A tranquil and dozy morning’s commute was suddenly plunged into a childhood nightmare today.

I was skim reading the day’s morning copy of the vacuous Metro when someone’s Blackberry suddenly jerked into motion and began blaring out a terrifying ringtone.

When you are young I’m sure there was one TV programme that although was aimed at your age range, it still scared the living crap out of you. Well, mine was Wizbit. It involved a giant drugged up rabbit, Paul Daniels, the not so lovely Debbie Magee and worse of all Wizbit himself – who was a crazed maniacal grinning yellow triangle who clearly wanted to steal my soul.

This chilling concoction of naff magic from the wizened Daniels and LSD vomit inducing characters peaked when the clearly mentally unstable Wizbit began to sing his trademark song slowly hopping from side to side. That song was a fellow commuter’s ringtone and it disturbed me so much, I made a hasty retreat and left the carriage.

If you dare, watch the clip below.
