Matthew Steeples explores the story behind finding a wandering Lego man
Yesterday at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London’s South Kensington, I found a miniature Lego soldier complete with a tag that bore the following caption:
“I want to see the world! Take me with you and post pictures of me… Then leave me somewhere safe for my next adventure! Thank you, Horatius”.
Two stories to keep beside you
Finding Attention (MeGain Style)
Most commentators have missed the point about the Duchess of Sussex suggests Matthew Steeples; she has a single thing on her agenda and that is getting attention The former Miss Markle turned now former senior royal may claim to have not cooperated with the authors of Finding Freedom, but frankly that is plainly as likely […]
Stick A Sock On
Matthew Steeples criticises ‘The Telegraph’ for suggesting men can wear loafers without socks According to this morning’s Telegraph, “2020 is the year of the loafer, apparently.” The paper’s Adrian Clark, this development has been “[cited] to a return to smarter dressing and the revival of the classic Ivy League look,” but where the author […]
I followed the instructions and herewith share an image of this little character in the company of The Steeple Times and exploring the cocktail menu at La Brasserie in South Kensington.
I’ve now set little Horatio off on his next mission and like the many other Lego men released by the creators of the ‘Lego Man Journeys’, he’ll no doubt end up travelling across the world. Look out for a Lego man in a town near you soon.

How wonderful…. so sorry i didn’t get to meet him!
How utterly ridiculous. The Steeple Times shouldn’t be encouraging people to find silly Lego statues. You should develop some decency and focus on finding dearly beloved missing Madeleine McCann. Shame on you all.
What a thoroughly boring woman you truly are, Gillian. Yawn.
Lovely article: so cheerful and makes one happy! Happy to borrow him and show him New York.
I agree. He’s now been spotted at Mr Fogg’s in Mayfair enjoying gin. Where will he end up next?
The lunatic is back…….It makes you think. Why????? They don’t appreciate your Elm Guest House articles? It has nothing to do with McCann’s, does it…. Trott away……
You are quite right. The Trott talks a lot of rot.
Looks more like an an illegal immigrant or ISIS terrorist attempting to get back into the UK. The Met needs to have a word with him when they get back from holidays in Portugal.
The Portuguese police have much to answer for Rob.
As Looney Tunes plays in the background, an advisory from the Portuguese makes interesting reading:
A Autoridade Policial Português não tem nenhum envolvimento com a mulher demente Gillian Trott e aconselha ninguém se aproximou tanto por vezes para consultar um advogado ou uma enfermeira psiquiátrica. Ela está obcecado e louco. Obrigado.
