Womble costume

[sherrardk]

My eldest son has just come home from school and informed me that he needs a womble costume - any ideas anyone?

[heathfield]

My idea would be to Google for ''womble costume hire''

[Buenchico]

"All you need is some white cotton fleece-like material, some yellow/orangey sponge (to create the feet, hands, snout and inner ears), a couple of sheets of tartan and you're well away. The eyes can quickly be improvised from red, white 'n' blue card and a black felt tip pen"

That was found on a website which I daren't link to, as it's called 'Professional Domination'!!!
;-)

I think that hiring might be easier!

Anyway, you've taught at secondary level, and so have I. Can you ever recall an occasion when an 11-year-old lad needed to dress up as a Womble? (Do most of today's 11-year-olds even know who the Wombles are?). I certainly don't remember such a situation! (There are some very odd things going on at that school!)

Was it already bookmarked?

[Buenchico]

There are times when I know what a post is going to say before I even click on it, Chuck ;-)

Is there a prize for the best thread title of the day?

I think "Womble Costume" is the winner.

You realise that everyone will now log on to Professional Domination just to see what it is like.

[joggerjayne]

We'll all be disappointed if there are no handcuffs.

I would just hire one, chances are it would never be used again and buying seperate materials would be costly and time consuming.

[sherrardk]

Hi all - it's for some talent competition (the mind boggles). Does make you wonder if teacher has put any thought into how it's going to pan out.

[LoftyLottie]

I can't equate Wombles with Professional Domination - whatever turns you on I suppose!!

[LoftyLottie]

But having come from Wimbledon, I do know there are a lot of funny goings on on Wimbledon Common!!

[ChuckFickens]

But were the "funny goings on" underground or overground?

[LoftyLottie]

Both!!

Wimbledon Common is a den of Womble Vice!!

[ChuckFickens]

Arr, so they'd be wombling free then..

(did they make good use of the things that they found?)

[redcrx]

my idea would be to change schools ;)

[sherrardk]

It's actually a brilliant school (good job really, as the other option was a bit rubbish). Could be worse, some of the other kids are Pingu, Postman Pat, etc.

[joggerjayne]

The closest I've come to Wimbledon Common is The Fox And Grapes (I think it was called).

[LoftyLottie]

Jayne, I know it well. My Dad used to take me for a walk over the common every weekend and we would sit outside the Fox and Grapes (him with his beer and me with my lemonade) on a wooden bench for half an hour or so after our walk.
