I think that I have got some sort of illness or something, I keep getting up early in the morning ie 8 am on a sunday morning ( even after seeing roger waters last night) and it was 6 am yesterday and go onto yo tube
and listen to the wombles as it is so fantastick am I sad or do I just need putting down

Curly go wash your mouth out right now, and knobby all I hope is you ain't hanging around on Wimbledon common late at night dressed up as one. take care knobby

[curlyperm]

er.........why wash my mouth out? i never swore?
HE asked.............. I answered simple as. ; )

[raysparx1]

Should have also said though that I think Mike Batt who I think formed the wombles is a brilliant songwriter, not the womble stuff, but songs like "Railway Hotel" listen to it beautiful words.also wote "Bright eyes" and "Caravan" and loads more.

for Knobby

[Aprilis]

Hi Knobby. How was RW for you on Sat night then? He was stonkingly good on Friday night, the crowd was going mad! My sister and I had a fab night. How was it for you?

x A x

[legend759]

I actually do rememeber when i was a womble folks.In my home town we had a government scheme about 15 years ago.Called ET.They called it employment training , but the workers called it "extra tenner " because thats all you got extra on ur wages.It was a waste of time and achieved nothing.But at least i did my time lol

[knobbynonuts]

Superb want he aprilis

[Aprilis]

Knobby he was fabulous. Not bad for 63 yrs old huh?!! Good old Roger, still rocking up a storm. I thought the programs were a bit steep at �15 a throw though. Is that the norm these days?

Did you know that RW's real name is George and that Syd Barretts real name was Roger? Bit of trivia there for you luv, lol!

Did you manage to get tickets for WOTW btw?

To answer your Q, I wasn't ever really into the Wombles myself but there's nowt sad about reminiscing about these things, it's fun.

[knobbynonuts]

Just been on to the link you sent aprilis and got a couple of tickets thanks for that again and they were only �40 each,did have a look on e bay just out of curiosity and they were selling for even more than that,I think someone had sold one for nearly �60 and as far as I have found uot they all seem to be the same price at the link you sent me.
Oh well all in all its going to be a pretty good year what with roger then were going to see the police later on this year and to finish the year of wotw oh boy............

[Aprilis]

Cool. Glad you were still able to obtain tickets. Mine were presale tickets got before they went on general sale and I've had them since last year. It's gonna be the canine's conkers innit, lol! I am soooo looking forward to it.

Where do you live then knobby if you are not far from the O2 Arena? It's okay, just the general area, I'm not gonna come knocking on your door! I'm just curious in a typically nosey female kind of way. I have a friend in Charlton but I haven't seen her for years. I am originally from Walthamstow but now I live in a village 10 mins from Stansted airport. Are you north or south of the river? As an ex eastender, South London was like going to another planet, lol!

[knobbynonuts]

Hi there aprilis thats ok we are from good old dodgy dagenham on the borders of essex and east london am sure you know of it.
Yep you are right about the 02 it is gonna be knobbysnuts,knobby is the knickname of my golden retriever and he has got no nuts so now I know where they have gone to.
You are so right again about going south of the river I know all around the areas from woolwich through to blackheath and up to the cutty sark (had to put cutty sark as cant spell greenwich).
I used to work and drive all around those areas refurbing council flats and houses that the tenants have left (or in most cases got evicted), and I thought dagenham was a bit rough in places but some of them areas GOD, mind you some places are ok around those areas.
Anyway got to go and do some packing now as were of to sunny old mallorca tommorow, but will still have internet access there.

[Aprilis]

Hi Knobby I sure do know of Dageham. I used to live at the Fiddlers and I went to Robert Clack School. My sister currently lives in Porters Ave and that's where we will all be meeting up to go to WOTW at the O2. Small world huh?

Hang on a mo......my Sister has a golden retriever too. You aren't my Brother-in-law are you? Hahaha!! Nah, can't be....he's not going to Mallorca tomorrow....as far as I know, lol! Their retriever has no nuts either, but that's because she is a b1tch! :-D

You picked a good time to go away, what with it constantly p1ss1ing down over here. Hope you get loads of sunshine. Oh yeah, and bring some back for us.

Have a great holiday mate.
