My daughter was bought one of these as a present and she loves it!
Chubby Chums are exclusive to Tesco. They are a variety of soft toys that are different animals all bright in colour and very cuddly and attractive as they are so chubby. They come in two different sizes- large- 28cm high and small- 10cm high.
The variety of animals include:
* Cow
* Elephant
* Pony
* Giraffe
I haven't seen any others but that doesn't mean to say there aren't any others available or that have been discontinued.
The toy which my daughter wasbought is the cow and she loves it!

Checkers, or as it is known in the UK, Draughts is a strategy game that is very similiar to chess and that has amazingly been around for a very, very long time. Checkers is somewhat like an art really. In order to be really good at it, one must know the 'tricks of the trade', which can only be acquired by playing the game a lot, and by reading checkers literature too. It is once these tricks are found out, that checkers really becomes a beautiful and amusing game.
A small history lesson
It seems that Checkers could have been played as far back 1600 BC by the Pharoahs in Egypt. There are also references to the game in the Dialogues of Plato and in Homers 'The Odyssey'. However, modern draughts seems to have started in Spain with the publications of Anton Torquemada, as 'recently' as 1547.

Their 'greatest hits' album, released in 2001 through Fiction Records and only done so on the basis that Smith could choose the tracks himself is 19 tracks that show a chronological tale of the band and their music through the years. (Although two of the tracks are brand new!)
Opening track "Boys Don't Cry" was released in June 1979, eight years before I was born. Yet with it's instantly recognisable guitar riff it's something that the countless bands since then that have idolised and 'taken influence' from the Cure could take the rest of time to improve on. I believe the saying is along the lines of put some monkeys in a room ...
