Oh...oh dear...

They're only the first episode and the one with a balloon in (sorry I can't be more specific, it's been ages since I saw it).
I've also got a tape of 'Where's wally?', which isn't bad.

Dreamstone!
Better than a Dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If it is real sensation
It's better than a dream...
Higher than the moon,
Hazy, like a beautiful illusion,
Crazy and in confusion:
It's better than a Dreeeeeeam!
What wonderful lyrics...
As many of you probably know, Mike Batt, who wrote 'Better Than A Dream', also composed some less wonderful but better-known lyrics: 'Underground, overground, wombling free..'

It may be comparing a teapot to a fence post, but Dreamstone was wayyyy better than the wombles. Dreamstone didn't attack the pop charts with novelty songs, for one thing.
"Remember you're a womble!"
Actually I'm not. Sorry to waste your time, but I don't live in Wimbledon and I don't make the most of the things that I find.

Come on, there's 400 of us here. Chances are there must be at least ONE...

They could be shamefully hiding it as a dark secret never to be told...
But anyway.
I always liked 'Reboot' myself.
-
I must confess, I travel both underground and overground, and I tend to make good use of the things that I find; but I'm told that doesn't necessarily make me a Womble. I'll took into taking a DNA test, just to be sure.
Enya's 'Orinoco Flow' is surely one of most refined Womble tribute songs ever.
-
Wull, I have an uncle who was originally FROM Bulgaria. Does that count? Or would I have to get him to change his name to reflect that? I like Enya too, which is more evidence.
I don't think I am one though. All this making good use of the things they they find business was a sham, really. They just horded stuff for no good reason, which made Wimbledon Common a filthy stinking disease-ridden hellhole. Wimbledon Council came and exterminated them for the sake of public heath, the evil scheming little tramps.

I didn't realise your views were that strong on wombles GG. I shall never mention them again in your prescence.

Heh, nor did I until I started writing that. If that's how I get in describing something pretty harmless to anyone outside Wimbledon, I hate to think what state I'd work myself into in commenting on someone truly evil, upsetting or offensive. So no-one mention Celine Dion, okay?

Riminds me of some people near where I lived, who camped temporarily for a few weeks on a grassy area just off the main dual carriagway across from our local Asda. They left eventually and those dirty filthy 'scumpots' left a dirty mess of rubbish along the grassy bit where they had been. I reacon that they might be related to those Wombles then!

This may just be tabloid gossip, but after the Wimbledon tennis tournament one year, wasn't Boris Becker caught in a broom cupboard with a Womble?

Only for a few seconds, allegedly. But yes, definitely a womble.
I wouldn't mind the Wombles extending their filth pile to where they play the tennis. Hopefully they could thereby infect Tim Henman with some Womble-to-Human disease, so he won't be around to build lots of gullible people's hopes that he might actually win next year. Perhaps that was what the Womble was trying to do to Boris in the Broom Cupboard- it just got the wrong guy.

It's only when the conversation oh so naturally shifts to wombles passing on sexually transmitted diseases to fading tennis "stars" that you realise quite how appropriate the title of this thread was.

What forum am I in again? Something to do with Celine Dion was i- oops.
