Talk:Gonk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I always had it in my mind that gonks (Gonks?) were conical and involved a cardboard centre, wool and stick on eyes.  A little like those circles of cardboard you'd wind wool round for ages before tying the centre off and cutting the outside of the circle, thus leaving a big fluffy ball, all ready for sticking eyes on.  Not that I'm a gonk expert.  Christ I wish I was though.

Skalham.

I don't think the pictures are of gonks. I remember gonks as being a ball of wiry/fluffy hair with eyes and feet and nothing else.( I think skalham is describing a version, and it sounds more like a gonk than the pictures) The article is correct in distinguishing beteen a troll and a gonk. Trolls are altogether different.
