I loved the Flumps. I still have a Flumps annual. And annoy people by humming the theme tune.

Let me tell you, there's no need for the humming, you annoy people anyway? :wink: :lol:

I saw that golly in the window of the wool shop a while back and then one day it had gone, but when I went in to the shop one day it was inside in a kids corner bit.

I am totally impressed with the head of woolen props stories, what a great job to have!

The internet is wonderful for shopping, browsing in the warmth of the house and delivered to the door. Mr Soupy getting some interesting books, well to him. Younger Clangers wanted clothes, gothic clothes.
Would you believe there's a site called Argoth?

But for the stocking fillers like creme eggs and curried haggis you cant beat the local shops! Oh and Semi -chem for perfume cheaper than Asda.

I presume these are the children from a previous relationship?

No, you misunderstood my line of enquiry. I'm asking if the xmas stockings you speak of are the product of an earlier relationship? Its not an age thing, I am well aware that adults or codgers can get quirky stuff.

So who are those xmas stockings? Are they step-clangers or what? Why do you feel the need to badge your various families with bizzare names?

Would it not be simpler to refer them as "my children" or " offspring". Call me mr silly but that's exactly what i would do.

Ha ha, understand you now :roll:

Seems I need to pull my socks up to keep up with you!

FYI all Clangers full blooded siblings, no step kids either side. Left that to our parents to split up and restablish relationships. At last count kids had 3 "grannies" and 3 "grandads"

Phew, i was T & E when I posted and thought I may have offended you. Flearoy picked her own name. She's coming home ftom Uni today for a surprise visit. It coincides with her being brassick lint. Coincidence? I hardly think so.

S'ok Porty. Luckily I'm a dragon, we have thick hides and dont offend easily. I'll admit in a 'pataphysical moment I thought about renaming all the kids Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 but it's too much typing.

Re Flearoy returning remember you're a parent. Yout job is to be loving and giving and giving and giving........
