Hi! I am Bamse.I am the oldest around here. I spent 22 years in an attic from 1979 to 2001,
through hot summers and cold winters and with a lightgreen teddy bear as my only friend and company. And when they
finally re-discovered us, they decided to keep me - but bin my old buddy. Sob-sob!
When I told the other TA's my story, McBear said it should have been reported to Paddington back then. He
would have been the only one to do something about it. McBear knows about Paddington - they have both
been to Peru, and they have even been emailing each other!
There are so many new things I have to be upgraded to, but
fortunately McBear is great teaching new technologies - which reminds me: When I was young, electric typewriters were a brand new
hit. Today, I see typewriters do the job umanned! McBear says they're called colour laserjet printers. Wauvvv!
Name: Bamse Madsen
Origin: I have no clues... but I am not from the far east. I am from a time when they
still mass produced inexpensive teddy bears in Europe
Baptised: I moved to Ireland in December 2001. My real birthday is somewhere in 1963 plus/minus 3 years
Best friend: I lost him in 2001! I like my new friends; McBear, Roger, Angus, Pinbear and the rest
Likes: Tea with honey - McBear taught me how to have one's tea
I am very fond of my new suit, that Frances has knitted
Dislikes: Attics
Skills:
Pinbear has taught me English
I teach other TA's the history of Europe - after all: When I was kid, the Beatles had just become a hit...
Travelling Experiences:
I lived in Denmark for 40 years, then I moved to Ireland.
I enjoyed travelling Achill Island in April 2002
I January 2003 we went to Kitzbühel in Austria - that's the best experience in my life so far!!!
