HAS Paul Teutul Senior of American Chopper has died?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I personally could not name a Womble but I can tell you that Mike Batt made a shed load of money by writing and promoting the records (can't tell I use to set the weekly pop quiz down the local - can you)
1937 Jowett 8 - Project - in less pieces than the Jupiter
1943 Jowett Stationary Engine
1952 Jowett Jupiter - In lots of peices http://Jowett.org/
1952 Jowett Javelin - Largely original
1973 Rover P6 V8 - Original / 22,000 miles

So, who's your favourite womble then, Alan?

I actually liked Tomsk - he was a bit dim, but friendly and useful in a crisis (rather like meself :) )

Anyone else noticed how Orinoco wore the same as Tom Baker's Doctor Who?

I'd have to go for Tobermory as he was a sort of Womblish alternative to the late Fred Dibnah, a great improviser and talented engineer.
On the other hand, I feel a tremendous empathy with Wellington, he's very much like me, but with a bigger nose.
I had a bit of a thing for the school teacher womble too; Miss Adelaide.
Funniest Womble must have been Stepney - with the dreadlocks - whose snout was used as the pattern for the gear lever surround that featured in various BL products we both know well:

Awww bother! Now I've gone and mentioned cars in the off-topic section, sorry. :oops:

A friend of my wife saw a Wombles (singing group) concert in the 70s.

After she went back stage to meet them. They (of course) didn't speak but handed out photos and gave cuddles - her memory of the meeting was of the overwhelming and distinctive smell of body odour, which if you think about it isn't that surprising, men wearing a big woolly costume and gigging around under spotlights for an hour.

She wasn't that keen on them after that meeting......
