    Default Wales

    Yes, Wales. I leave on the 932 train to Warrington Bank Quay, whence I take the train to Llandudno Junction, and thence Blaenau Ffestiniog. From there I make my way to the hostel at Minffordd to volunteer for a week on the Ffestiniog Railways! Huzzah!
    This is all for, of course, His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh and that glorious gold award of His...

    And I shan't be home that splendid afternoon when the trusty Royal Mail Postman decides to deliver the envelope containt my exam results because of this.
    And I start school the Monday after.
    And I just finished my summer job of a research project at the Scottish Crop Research Institure today.

    Just thought I would share with you my summer holidays...

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    My condolences.
    Don't have any aspirations - they're doomed to fail.

    Watch out for the leeks. You should take your pet haggis with you to ward them off. If they get too close you may have to set the haggis onto them.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Never been to Wales myself, the closest I've been is the Marches. But it looks like a beautiful Country and i hope you have a great time.
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...
