A podcast on the Welsh Forgetter of the Year.



TO HEAR THE BARDS in ACTION CLICK HERE, DIOLCH!

BREAKFAST: Very good bowl of Branflakes

THE WALK to WORK.

SUN was radiating as I ambled down what was a POSTCARDESQUE River Taff Trail this morning.
Was i-Podless so had the full symphony of bird song, interspersed with the chimes of the Clock Tower of Cardiff Castle.

THE LUNCHBOX

4 salmon sandwiches(tinned variety)with a hint of lemon juice.
1 plum
1 banana
1 Toffee flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt.
2 Chocolate digestive biscuits.

TRUST ME MY WIFE IS A MAGISTRATE.

Biscuits went early, followed by the fruit then the sandwiches just before midday. Saving the yoghurt until later

RANDOM THOUGHT


2021: THE opening of the first TESCO UNIVERSITY, where students are schooled in Tescology, is delayed after members of the ANTI-TESCO league chain themselves to supermarket trollies in the offices of the Vice-Chancellor, located at the end of the Frozen Food aisle of the new campus

I think a Welsh Forgetter of the Year would be a very amusing addition to the Eisteddfod.

For your information, Sion, the chimes audible in the centre of Cardiff are those of the City Hall bell, and not, as you erroneously 'inform' us, the castle. Please amend this falsehood forthwith.

Hey Sion!

It's the guys here at Wellington Co here again! Just saying a big thankyou for all the mentions of our small town recently! It's been quite a story for us!
But just one question - do you make stuff up about the events you feature? Cos no-one here ever even heard of a musical chair contest, but we're supposed to have won the darn thing!

Hi Clive

Of course, it's the City Hall... how silly of me!

The man/lunchbox who cannot change his mind is a man/lunchbox who cannot change.

Hello Wellington Co,

It's kinda like Father Christmas and the US dollar quotation, "In God We Trust."

I have much more in mind for the wondrous town of Kaycee, including the odd podcast.

I must protest in the strongest possible terms about your podcast of the Welsh Forgettor of the Year. Does the Welsh Language Act mean nothing to you? In these days of bilingualism, to suggest that one should be lauded and rewarded for forgetting his mother tongue (the language of Haverford West if not of Heaven), it is a travesty, it is an outrage, it is... I'm sure there's a Welsh word to describe it but I can't remember what it is. Paid a gwneud hyn eto.

Hi Claire,

Don't blame me... it's all the fault of people watching too much MTV in 1980s and 90s.

Anyway, by 2120 there will be technology that allows people to speak whatever languages they want.

BREAKFAST: Was in the gym at 6.44am this morning.... first time in a month. Returned to have a swell bowl of Cornflakes with semi-skimmed milk. THE WALK to WORK THE rain and wind tested by umbrella handing skills to the limit this morning. Down the Taff Trail and the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club, Sophia Gardens, was looking particularly sad this morning. A cyclist waved as she passed me on the trail, turned out to be work colleague Anna Morrell . She later explained how she dreads passing pedestrians on the trail sporting i-Pods... good to get a cyclist perspective for a change! THE lunchbox: 1 plum 1 organic banana. 4 chicken sandwiches on granary bread 1 Toffee flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt 1 slice of Chocolate Crunch made by Plugs of Trumpton PLEASE don't panic it's only a fire drill! Was feeling rather hungry this morning on the account of being all macho and going to the gym at such an early hour. Chocolate Crunch went first, followed by the banana and then t...

BREAKFAST: Marvellous bowl of Cornflakes with cold semi-skimmed milk. The Walk to Work. Sun was really trying to break through (fair play), but even with clear blue skies there was the odd drop of rain... well that's the UK for you! Down the Taff Trial into the centre of Cardiff and it was cyclist mania this morning. And at last more on the wildlife front, noted two fierce looking ravens foraging for food on the river bank, as well as quite a few chilled out ducks on the River Taff below. The immaculate groomed white Husky passed me with his owner. LUNCHBOX... 1 banana 1 plum 4 chicken sandwiches on granary bread 1 toffee flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt 1 slice of coconut cake made by Plugs of Trumpton. THIS oven could do with a good clean! Went for the cake first (and why not!), followed by the banana and then the plum. Sandwiches were rapidly demolished just before midday. Yoghurt will go shortly.
