David_AVD Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Somehow, my wife & I got talking about Gonks. You know, those furry toys that inhabited skill testers in the 70's and 80's. Anyway, here's a picture for those who think I'm making this shit up! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Gonks_from_Australian_fairground_in_late_1970s.jpg/800px-Gonks_from_Australian_fairground_in_late_1970s.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felixthadog Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I sat in the big hall and put my packet of Polos on the desk. And my spare pencil and my support gonk. And my chewing gum and my extra pen. And my extra Polos and my lucky gonk. And my pencil sharpener shaped like a cream cracker. And three more gonks with a packet of Polos each. And lead for my retractable pencil. And my retractable pencil. And spare lead for my retractable pencil. And chewing gum and pencils and pens and more gonks, and the guy said "Stop writing, please" Neil from The Young Ones :) Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators furballx Posted June 5, 2010 Administrators Share Posted June 5, 2010 We called em bunyips Dave, but same-same. Ah, the good ole days, when you were excited to get a toilet roll with some shitty fake fur and a couple of plastic eyes glued to em. No "hello kitty" clutch bags in the skill testers from the 80s!:lol Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talby Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I remember getting my first Gonk as a Christmas present. It made it to about 10am before the dog chewed it to bits. It was such an emotional roller coaster of a day. :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pinny Parlour Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Holy crap! Talk about 'take me back'. I forgot all about those smelly little critters from the late 70's early 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
