Compo 10,328 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 A number of people were distraught at the sight of the teddy bear that was hanging in my big shed in a recently posted photo. After much thought, I came to the decision that since he has been hanging in my shed for 25yrs and for many years before that in Chorley Little Theatre props store, it was time to release him. Last night I cut him down and he is now sitting patiently in the utility room awaiting a much needed wash. He sends his thanks to you all for showing concern and forcing my hand in his release. 1 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Blimey Kath, let him have a bit of freedom. He's been hanging around for 25 years, the last thing that the poor beggar needs is more neck restrictions ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yea, but all he can see is his tootsies. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 You're right, poor lad needs all the support he can get. However, it looks to me as though he needs some exercise in view of the state of his belly ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Well, Norman the teddy bear had a good wash yesterday and he is now moaning about being soaking wet! I don't know - you can't please some, can you?! I will have to rehang the little bogger to get him dry - only this time it will be on a radiator and not a rafter in the ceiling. Once he's dry he will definitely have to go on some sort of reshaping regime to try and regain some kind of normal posture. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 If you do manage to re-shape him, do tell hiw you did it, so I can re-shape me afterwards. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Twelve inches of stair-rod up his jacksie will sort out his neck problem. I can hear it now - 'Ah, Chulla, don't be so cruel' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 ^^^^^^^^^But who's going to hold the stair rod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Norman the bear has a lovely smile. Is there a teddy hospital in Caithness? The careful insertion of some teddy bear stuffing into the back of his neck followed by lots of TLC should solve the problem with his posture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I quite like his posture as it is Shirley; after all - it would be a shame to spoil his aged "Patina" wouldn't it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Reading the suggestion about using a stair rod sounded horrible and this made me think about a kinder alternative. If Norman bear is happy than that is all that matters! I wish him many more happy years. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Norman the bear fell from his perch on my bedstead at 3am this morning. He landed on my head and as I was about to throw him across the room he said with a smile: "Ayup Compo miduck, thanks for cleaning me up and giving me this lovely place in your bedroom."........ I carefully replaced him above my head on the bedstead 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
