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.
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

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.

Aye 'twas in the original article
. Although curiously most refs were the correct Aberdare so maybe it is indeed somewhere else entirely

Hahaha, ace.
Could've been a small Welsh town sponsored by a software company, unlikely, but possible.

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.

And even by Welsh standards it was a mouthful so they'd just get called TNS anyway!
