question from Laura

I’m really confused, what does the word gubbins mean to you? it’s my last name, i must be lucky i guess

Mr dear Ms Gubbins!

Not only are you lucky, but you also suit that hairstyle perfectly. Nice shoes, too. To me, gubbins is a labour of love; a sometimes painful service that I offer at no charge to the world. But most of all, it is a word that inspires the powerful; invigorates the lazy and lubricates the perfected.

Truly, it is some things to some men.
