About the Little Old Men:

The little old men come in many different shapes and sizes, they are mischievous, adventurous, grumpy, excitable and kinda smelly. No two are the same but most hold the same values, mostly to squeeze the last bit of fun out of life.

While at home they mostly wear their slippers and puff on a pipe. They tend to avoid toffees due to the lack of original teeth, soup and straws are preferred. When they are exited they produce little gasses out of thier passage.

A splinter group of little old men have an unnatural hatred for cats, where this comes from is a mystery. The rest of them think they are punching above their weight in this fight. A 'Big Old Monster' likes to terrorize the Little Old Men but they try not to let this bother them too much.

You can see some of the little old men's individual interests on their myspace pages. Just go to www.myspace.com/little_old_men and follow the top friend links. You can also see massive illustrations of their town and other bit and bobs.
