Muddlecombe was originally called Middlecombe when he was just a whiner in the Lower Third. But when "Joggers" his oafish Sports Master roughly chided him that there was no "I" in "Team" (on the fortieth occasion young Middlecombe had "forgotten" his rugger kit..) Middlecombe avowed there would therefore be no "I" in Middlecombe either. So now you know. What's in a name, eh?

Muddlecombe once started his own dairy business which specialised in mixing monkey shit with cottage cheese. Some 14 years and 2 tonnes of monkey shit later he was still having issues with both texture, flavour and aroma. On his death there was tremendous heartache and sorrow in the monkey community at losing such an esteemed business partner and Muddlecombe's wife was 'comforted' by a number of his former business associates. She eventually remarried to an Orangutan called Marvin, one of the big shitters in the monkey world. However, his new wife soon discovered that it was a quirk of Marvin's shit that had actually prevented the success of Muddlecombe's enterprise and she murdered Marvin in a frenzy of fruit by repeatedly inserting a poisoned banana. She is now a 'lifer' in Strangeways prison with her first husbands picture hanging on the wall of her cell..

Just for fun Muddlecombe sometimes puts his left sock on his right foot and vice versa. He sniggers to himself about this all day long as no one can tell.
