Don't poke fun at my friend. I don't think she knows half the time which planet she is on.

Wouldn't that require hum having to move north and get involved in some sort of mating behaviour?

Take your point on the ambiguity of "ruck"

I was using the word in it's argumentative sense

'Cor blimey - I caused a stir - Spoonbill take that hat off and lets see the whole head.....

As for my world - it's not the one I am on moret he one I came from I think - this place is Mad and NO ONE has explained properly what a Gumby is - infact - you have all avoided it at great length instead getting all hot under the collars and starting a rutting pack ( oops was that meant to be a RuCKing pack??) - pretty much the same anyway..
I suppose if I want to know what it is I will have to take time out and research it myself, as that's the only reason God made Women - to do the research to massage mens egos..

Thank you EA for sticking up for me - it was a sticking up for me wasn't it???

Gumby is a green clay humanoid figure who was the subject of a series of television shows totaling 223 episodes over a three-and-a-half decade period, animated using stop motion photography, known as claymation. The shows also featured Pokey, an orange clay horse, and Gumby's nemeses, the Block-heads.

No, I didn't just happen to know that. I did a Google search (what else?!).

Wrong Gumby, I'm afraid!

The Monty Python Gumbies were characters who popped up from time to time during the TV series. They wore knotted handkerchiefs, tank-tops, rolled-up trousers and boots.

They were very silly indeed.

I was just finding Jude a gumby as she said we were all avoiding the issue.

Yes, I found these green ones during a search as well. I'd never heard of them.

Perhaps there's more gumby research to be done!
