Titan's Tupperware

You know those days when nothing feels quite right because every single one of your tupperware containers is lidless? You open the drawer, and it’s a plastic jungle—containers of all sizes, but not a matching lid in sight. It’s chaos. It’s maddening.


Somewhere deep beneath the sea in the dark, echoing chambers of Titanica, Titan is having… a domestic moment.

“X-TWENTY!”
“Yes, Master Titan…”
“WHERE… ARE… THE LIDS!?”

You see, even evil underwater dictators need to store leftovers. Titan has a weakness for his personal seaweed-and-anchovy lasagna (don’t we all?), but when the time comes to refrigerate the last slice—disaster. The matching lid has vanished into the abyss.

Cue X20, dripping sarcasm and guilt, tiptoeing around Titan’s rage like a man dodging sea mines.

“It seems, Master, that the lids have… er… migrated. Perhaps to that drawer we all avoid?”
“You FOOL! Without lids, there is no freshness! NO CONTROL!”

This isn’t just about plastic. It’s about order. Power. Dignity. A matching tupperware set, in Titan’s eyes, is the foundation of an empire. How can one dominate the oceans when their snack-sized tub is sealed with cling film?


Let’s take a moment to reflect.

We’ve all been Titan. Furious. Helpless. Gripping a lone container while rummaging through a drawer of warped, unrecognisable plastic frisbees that used to be lids. And we’ve all had an X20 in our lives—someone who “cleaned the kitchen” but really just shoved things wherever they fit.

So what’s the solution?

  • Stackable sets – Buy matching tupperware with snap-on lids that fit snug and stay organised.

  • Color-coded dots – Label your lids and tubs with colored stickers. Titan would approve of the classification system.

  • Dedicated lid storage – A shallow basket or rack just for lids. Keep it in the same drawer. No betrayals.

  • The X20 Rule – If someone uses the tupperware, they wash and store both the container and the lid. No excuses.


At the end of the day, Titan just wants peace in the kingdom of leftovers. Don’t we all? Next time you find your lids out of place, remember: a little order brings a lot of power.

“We must restore the balance, X20… or dinner shall be ruined forever…”

Tranquility According To Me & Lady Penelope

Sometimes, in the soft folds of my imagination, I return to the calmest part of the world—a secret patch of Earth where stillness hums like a lullaby, and nothing exists but us and nature. Me and Lady Penelope, far away from duty, demands, or time, full of freedom beneath the open sky.

We find ourselves lying together in the grass, backs pressed to the cool earth, limbs soft, breath light. No noise. No city. Only the sound of wind weaving through tall grass, the occasional bird call, and the rise and fall of our quiet, steady breathing. The sun filters down through leaves and pine needles, golden and warm, brushing our skin like the softest cloth. We don’t speak—we don’t need to. We just are. At peace.

Later, we wander barefoot through the pines. The forest is still—every tree holding its breath. We walk slowly, taking in the green hush around us, the mossy earth cool beneath our feet. Pine needles carpet the floor in soft, quiet layers, and every now and then, a small cone or fern catches our attention, like nature leaving gentle gifts. It feels like being held by the forest.

Eventually, we reach the lake—its surface unbroken, reflecting sky and branch like polished glass. We step in slowly, the cold water climbing our legs like a shiver of new life. We swim without effort, without thought, drifting and ducking beneath the surface like creatures born of this place. When we climb out, droplets on our skin sparkle in the sun.

We dry in the grass, bellies to the sky, heads close together. I look at Penelope, and she looks at me—and in that glance, everything is understood. No one needs us here. There’s no mission, no timeline. Just the gift of quiet, and the freedom to feel everything: the warmth of the earth, the chill of water, the hush of the trees, and the presence of someone I trust completely.

Nature asks nothing of us here. And in that stillness, we are made whole.

A Good Breakfast

Furaha and Orko invite their friends Scooby Doo, Minty, Timon, Pumbaa and Mushu over for breakfast to try their mum's excellent cooking.

Cocoa Spa

Lady Penelope and I visit a luxurious, quiet, tranquil spa which uses chocolate to soothe and soften, and we enjoy lots of spa treatment there.

Super Space Diary

I discover Tin Tin's secret diary, which she wrote in during the time the Thunderbirds Super Space Theatre films were released.

Hook, Line & Shrink/A Date With Luke

Penelope's Present/Two Magical Mermaids

In Penelope's Present, I see Lady Penelope wrapping up a beautiful pink present and think it's my birthday, so I decide to keep watch and see if she has written my name on the label.
In Two Magical Mermaids, Lady Penelope and I have the pool on Tracy Island all to ourselves and spend time swimming and playing together, pretending to be a duo of mermaids who love the peacefulness of the sea.
