I had no option but to include Bagpuss - that saggy old cloth cat (baggy and a bit loose at the seams) has been as much a role model to me in my adult life as has Wally from Dilbert. Sleep, stir briefly, ponder on something, let other people do the work involved in fixing it, pronounce it good and resume slumbering. Although admittedly Bagpuss was held in affection for this, which is where the similarity fails...
And if your list was indeed hastily compiled, then it still presents an image of a cultured, imaginative individual, a feat beyond any list that I might compile however much time I was to take over it :-)
