Come to think of it, "The Phan-Tim Menace" would have been a far better name, but that film came long after the last time he vanished.

He just used to disappear. It'd be like "Hey Time, how's it goi...", and he'd be gone. One bat of the eyelid and *puff* gone!

I mean "I was once on a night out in Camden"


What in God's name is wrong with me this morning?

I was one a night out in Camden and I stumbled across some old books just dumped on the pavement. After rifling through them, I found a an old copy of The Pickwick Papers. I think it was a first edition.

Phantom Tim?

Is there a story behind the name?

I remember going into my mate Phantom Tim's loft once and he had a Millenium Falcon just sitting there. Even better, I opened the lid and there were loads of figures sitting inside! I didn't come down for some time.
