King lives like king in London

KING CHEEKY visited London with Emily on Saturday to see the Lion King musical in the West End. For the first time in his life he sampled city living, enjoying his first trip outside the house since possibly as long ago as 2004.

'It was so lovely, I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank Emily again for taking me along in her bag. The Lion King has been a great inspiration for my life, obviously my wife is called Nala and I named my son Simba,' beamed Cheeky.

'I've learnt a lot about ruling a kingdom recently,' reflected the most famous of the Toyland royals, perhaps thinking of his recent successes in closing down the Smallvanian Orphanage and replacing it with a well-supplied nursery, as well as managing to sleep with Emily two nights in a row at time of writing. 'I didn't get to meet Queen Elizabeth unfortunately, but I did go Hamley's on Regent Street, one of the biggest toyshops in the world.'

He is admired for ruling over toys which have their own towns, currency system and even a top quality newspaper. He is also now King of the next Olympics host city, Boston.

The King's fortunes have suddenly rapidly improved, from a low point two years ago when he wasn't at all considered one of Emily's favourite toys.

Upon seeing this photograph, local university student and part time campaigner Marissa Cooper couldn't control herself any further, and exploded with indignation that she was not taken, being the most popular toy and having grown used to being taken on these outings. 'Humph humph humph!' she said as she folded her arms melodramatically.

As we can see, our King was riding high in the city of the moment.
