Bimble or Pootle

[Doc333]

At my age and lack of condition and depending on how I feel, I may go out for a waddle, wabble or gimpel

Pootle was one of the Flumps, surely...

I pootle along sometimes ... it can be refreshing to slow down and realise that you get there almost as fast. But I assume from an exercise point of view that pootling is not very energetic.

Pootling is good exercise; you burn off more fat than if you rush, apparently.

What about mimsering? My parents used to use the word "mimsers" to describe slow drivers. Can one mimser on a bike?

I have never heard of that either

Bimble is the tall purple one, Pootle is a small yellow one. Then there was Dipsy, Po and Lala.

Bimble is what Prince Philip does, wandering around with hands clasped lightly behind his back, whist he works out which ethnic minority to insult next.

Not in my back yard........

I used to have a Morris Minor with three distinctive speeds. They were pootle, trundle and hurtle. The latter involving a great deal of noise and shaking about with bits of rust flying off. Probably equated to about 70 mph but rarely achieved as there are not many stretches of road long enough to get up to that sort of crazy speed in my old Moggy. (4 door saloon not a traveller)

They're both shorter versions of a bummel.

 

[Poacher]

Just possibly, mimsers are the genus which includes borogroves?

Bimblings for girls. pootling for boys...
I'd rather be a Pootle than a Bimbo...

I use pootle for slow enjoyable cycling...
