possibly due to autocomplete culminating in Aberdare being written as Adaware.
Bugger, it's finally happened, as I've passed my age milestone of 3 score years, not only have I become physically invisible, my forum posts have followed suit. :roll:

Apropos of nothing.
Heard a tale told recently by Bob Mortimer (Reeves and Mortimer) about age and perception. He was standing on a busy bus and made eye contact with a pretty girl sat near him, she smiled and his mind started racing with thoughts of a possible romantic encounter. She leaned across to him and offered him her seat :sad: :sad:

Who said that?
Kidding, just sloppy skim reading from me.

Bob is so funny. Do you listen to the podcast, athletico mince?
It's properly surreal. Allegedly a football podcast, but with almost no football content. Which is great as o have no interest in football.

Truth is stranger than fiction, in the '90s the tiny village of Llansantfraid ym Mechain had a Welsh League football team sponsored by Total Network Solutions on the proviso that it aquired their name so it got mentioned on the football results. Result was no-one knew where the team came from.
