    Does a pocket watch feature in the books, or is it a watch with HP on? Also, is it mechanical..? :)

    An inflatable sheep



    One of my colleagues works from home in Hereford and we're always ribbing him that he's practically living in Wales. So, as he's coming to the xmas party on Thursday, we thought we'd take the opportunity to make him feel 'at home'.
