I got a very good education there.
Well when I say education, I mean I got very pissed and started working on the ents crew after 2 weeks which has now been essentially what I've done for a living for 25 years!
Were you radicalised by the left wing while there?

I've often wondered this as well. Could be that we're remembering listening to the recording. Thousands went out to buy the VHS tape in the weeks & months afterwards.
The recording was the first time I heard it due to a microphone being behind the goal. It would have been in impossible to hear it in the crowd. Still a nice sound effect though.

Del Monte and Demonfart were among many of the 'comedic' names we had for the other seat of learning. Oh, how we laughed at the time.
We had an interesting thread a while back about Mountford Manor (Leefer a sad miss) without quite establishing if the Mountfords were connected the French champion of the peasants Simon de Monfort or not? http://thetownend.com/index.php?topic=53362.0

Um, no. We did have 2 member of the exec go on to be an assembly member for Labour in Wales and a London MP. But I was mostly pissed. I was radicalised by common fucking sense and decency many years before that.

To answer the original question, I’ve bleached my hair and cut my facial hair into a moustache. I’m thriving

On my morning jog round the Town Gardens I was pleased to see the first beds of geraniums ( or is it pelargoniums?) being planted out on the empty beds.

On the subject of geraniums, we bought a dozen or so from a small GC for the flower beds last summer. Must have been late October I hastily dug them up with my garden fork and roughly bedded them into big empty tubs and shut them in the un heated greenhouse. Net result is I trimmed all the leaves and die back, took precisely 27 cuttings and the trimmed ones are in ornamental tubs with the standard Fuscias which had the same treatment and the cuttings are waiting to go in the ground this weekend.

Geraniums love a good chopping back. In the past we had regular two flowerings, odd occasion three.

About to quench a mighty thirst. The first beer in about 78 days 16 hours 14 minutes and 20 seconds. Thank you to the Hop Kettle Brewery. Now, how to operate a mini keg and whether to forgo the pint glass altogether.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

Not packing ahead of not setting off to Pembroke tomorrow for 6 or 7 days walking along the Pembrokeshire coast.
Making do with the allotments along the path behind Crowdys Hill school as the scenic view.

Stayed at St Dogmaels and visited Poppit Sands in the summer of 83. Good times. Stayed in Saundersfoot in 81.
