Oh? The bowler hat, the kilt, the umbrella, and the Barbour jacket count for nothing? ;)

*splutter*...You can't claim the Kilt..that's decidedly Celtic.

And, with English weather, you may well need an umbrella at the beach, a Bowler hat would look rather silly. Unless of course you are Steed from the Avengers. ;-)

Short answer is a claymation figure that had it's own tv show, and toy figurines. Not being a "Gumbyhead", I can't give you
his curriculum vitae, but I remember him from more than 30 years ago.

Go to GumbyWorld

Mr Sibrel says his new documentary proves the Apollo 11 landings were faked by the Nasa space agency in order to fool the then-Soviet Union into thinking the US had beaten them in the space race.

Another out of state, kook....This one happens to be from Tennessee.....

Don't have that car? But what about the looks and the parasol? - livius (who is a girl, despite the name).

But on the more serious side, sorta, are there really people who think the moon landing was faked? I blush to admit my ignorance on this one...

Well I have several umbrellas (what self respecting Englishman - who wanted to remain dry, anyway - would be without one?) - as for the looks, well, I leave that to the eye of the beholder. ;)

If it was salt and vinegar, I might be more jealous. ;)

You kidding me? Trying to get an Irish man to change his ways and become adventurous in his choice of 'chat up food' is nigh on impossible. I tell ye, I'm going to marry the man who buys me a pub pack of Pringles 'sour cream and onion' *ROFL*
