Ladies and gentlemen,
On Friday, I shall be unavailable to start the now seemingly traditional Athletic & Aesthetic thread. It is, I agree, unlike me to shirk such an onerous responsibility, but I will be on the first day of a three day Welsh road trip weekend, on the smoothness that is Nant Y Arian.
I feel it is vital for the wellbeing of all that this thread is started and continues to grow. As a result, I am asking you, the good people of this parish, to pick up the baton, to take a stand, to make it happen!
So, are you with me? Will one of you volunteer? I am sure that my faith in the goodness of you all will be rewarded. Those who wish to volunteer, one step forward please......
Yea!
I'm available for casting duties
Your reward awaits you in a higher place.
They're all too busy Googling all sorts of filth, them lot. Dirty bastids... 😯
I'll let the miners know that you're on the way. I'm sure they'll be delighted to make your acquaintance old chap 😉
and we'll warn the sheep, too.
Will the locals come out and wave flags as your velvet, satin and gold trimmed carriage wafts past them?
