    Why did Scott say that? Where did he go or what was he trying to do?

    I’m pretty sure it was Captain Oates that said the words, not Scott, and the kettle was not mentioned. He did say something about Cardiff attendances before walking out into the blizzard, but the official censor wasn’t going to let that into the record. It was ever so.

    Sludge, I was at a couple of Cowbridge's ale swigging joints last Friday, Esmondes and the Vale of Glamorgan. Both were excellent with plenty of affable, down-to-earth punters. I learnt that the Welly (Duke of Wellington?) was a favourite amongst the local Tory boys so gave that one a swerve as I had visions of you stood by the bar wearing that ghastly cravat knocking back the Pimms whilst extolling the virtues of Theresa May's stewardship of the economy. "Feck having to risk listening to any of that," I thought.

    Renowned former Welsh egger JPR Williams arrived at the Vale on a push bike. Discretion prevents me from revealing details of the interesting conversation with him. I'll relay the juicy bits by secure means, either on the bat phone or via carrier pigeon.

    I hope you're not serious about a Finnish excursion as that European arrest warrant is enforceable there.

    Universal Income over there as well. £10,000 a year whether you are working or not.

    Good luck getting your old boy to stand up in that weather, no wonder the local menfolk moved off to warmer climes!

    Sludge is looking forward to being thrashed with a birch twig in the sauna.

    I think Sludge is referring to Amundsen, around about the same time in fact.
    He was just about to go for an Ertha Kitt and was suffering from severe constipation.

    It's strange that some look at tax figures like that and thing "shit, that's a lot". Yet Scandinavian countries are run broadly by mainly centrist governments, have far higher taxes and prices for things, yet have better standards of living, less poverty, higher wages (even when living costs are taken into account) and superior public services.

    Sludge is getting desperate now. He didn't go to Finland looking for women I think he to went to some industrial estate "up north".
