[sydney]

Can the Bumblies be on the bench, they can come on to reinforce either side. ( My Dad used to call me Bumbly number 3. Sigh.)

The Bumblies

The Bumblies

but then we would need two back ups and it would get complicated , what would happen if the subs kicked it off.......telly tubbies , clangers , bumblies and wombles all-in winners take all.?

 

[skipper734]

Telly Tubbies are modern day woosies, ones even got a handbag, another ones a drunk a third is clearly of his rocker. This is the sort of stuff I subjected my son too.

Wombles were a short furry, recycling version of the A Team. they could make anything out of useless stuff lying around, so could easily have rustled up a weapon of mass destruction out of a few empty coke cans and some hyperdermic needles they would've found on Wimbledon Common. What were the Clangers without the Soup Dragon? Only defence were some dustbin lids!

 

[Lush]

Can Madame Cholet bring her spoon? Then Wombles to win. Plus they is bigger innit.

The Wombles Walk It

 

[KZNSeagull]

Clangers easily. They can live in an oxygen free environment which makes them doubly hard. Plus I am sure that their high-pitched voices would do untold damage to the Wombles sensitive hearing.

Best thread of the day - well done!!

 

[Pbseagull]

Gotta be the Wombles.
Tomsk is double hard and could prob beat them on his own, If he attacked along with Orinocco and Tobermorey , with Madame Cholet and Great Uncle Bulgaria as back up. No contest!

 

[Pbseagull]

Just remembered, went to Withers late 60's/early 70's when it was still being used as a schoolkids athletics stadium, the Wombles made an appearance on the pitch. We all went running towards them from the stands. I was only a kid and when I got close to Orinocco he was bloody HUGE, so I legged it. Anyone else remember this?

 

[crasher]

The Wombles would be tooled up. All that rubbish they collect includes bicycle chains, rusty springs, old razor blades.

And the Clangers (operating in lower gravity) would move more sluggishly if the fight was on earth.

I'm going Wombles.

I was thinking the same thing! Can't be arsed to read all the football crap, I know exactly what it'll be like.

Anyway, my heart says Clangers but my head says Wombles. As has been pointed out I think their ability to improvise and their bigger size will carry the day. Plus they can communicate in English and not whistles; I think there's a chance that in the heat of battle Baby Clanger's cry of "Kick Uncle Bulgaria in the goolies!" will get misheard as "Dive down the nearest crater!"

 

[Trufflehound]

I've met the Clangers in person (BBC Exhibition ca.1982). Much as my heart would love them to win it, I think the fact they are only about 10cm tall might count against them...

Bagpuss, on the other hand, is one big mutha. He could take the Wombles single-handedly.

 

[Badger]

15 years ago I would have said Wombles without a doubt, but ever since they relocated and changed their name to MK Ombles I don't think they've had the same threat.

I'm not convinced on the size argument. If you take the dustbin lid size in proportion to the moon as a whole, each Clanger must be enormous:



Plus, they appear to have got hold of a new weapon:

 

[Brovion]

Hmm. You may have a point. However we don't know how big the moon is, looking at photo the curvature is quite pronounced. I guess I'll have to wait for the weigh-in.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Wombles would smash the Clangers but equally the guys from Trap Door would outwit the Wombles !

 

[cheeseroll]

Both pathetic, now the Double Deckers were something else!

Idiot! The Double Deckers was just MADE UP! It was ACTORS!

 

[Lush]

Wellington would be useless though. Speccy.
