There is a bit of technology called Bango. Someone at work has been looking at what it is and how it does it.

Colleague #1: How did you get on with Bongo?
Colleague #2: Do you mean Bango?
Colleague #3: Bingo!
Me: There was a womble called Bungo.
Colleague #4: No there wasn't!
Me: Yes there was!
C#4: Where in the world is called Bungo?
C#3: Do you mean Bungle?
C#4: Yes, are you thinking of Rainbow?
Me: No a womble... look, here on Wikipedia there's a picture of Bungo Womble.
C#4: Well, where is he named after?
Me: Wikipedia says he's named after a province in Japan...

Somewhere in there, the work part of the conversation gave up and died. Another success!

Otherly, have you appreciated your sysadmin today?

Did the original (1970s) TV show have the multi-racial ones, or just the new (1990s) one? I have a faint memory of there being a vaguely yellow one in the original, although I can't remember his name, but I'm pretty sure that the knitted brown one was only in the new one.

Incidentally, Elizabeth Beresford did write other stuff, and it's pretty good (although so mired in the 70s it feels rather alien to modern eyes).
