His argument is that the English population as we know it, starting with the Celts, came from those areas mentioned. If the customs and practice in the folk tales does not come from those areas, it must therefore come from someone else, which of course is logical. However he suggests that it comes from the race of humans in the British Isles that the Celts found when they arrived in the middle of the first millennium B.C.<\/p>\n
This is how he reckons that he will be able to construct something that will give us some idea of the social and interpersonal life of those who were here before the Celts arrived.<\/p>\n
Later on I began to revise for my Welsh. I had a good hour at it and made more progress that I thought that I might but it was to no avail because the lesson was not as good as it might have been. However I was relieved (to a certain degree) to find that I was not the only person in the class who is struggling to keep up, and we talked about going on a Summer School together later in the year<\/p>\n
After the lesson I was computing again and I now seem to have almost everything that I need. There’s one program that I mentioned that I can’t find, and for some reason, Waterfox wouldn’t connect me to my Welsh lesson and I had to use another steam-driven web browser. I shall have to look into this and find out why.<\/p>\n
Tea tonight was a taco roll as usual, a hurried tea in fact because of the football. <\/p>\n
Aberystwyth look well-and-truly down, as I have said before … "and on many occasions too" – ed<\/em> … but of the other three clubs at the bottom, Y Drenewydd, Llansawel and Y Fflint, they seem to have cycles – one will win two or three game and pull clear, and then another one will do the same and catch up, and then it’s the turn of the third.<\/p>\n Consequently, tonight’s game between Llansawel and Y Drenewydd is of crucial importance to both clubs who are level on points in the table.<\/p>\n Y Drenewydd came out of the blocks at a tremendous rate and it must have been almost 10 minutes before Llansawel entered their opponents’ half. I forget now how many times Y Drenewydd hit the post, hit the bar, had shots cleared off the line, and had Will Fuller in the LLansawel goal not played the game of his life it could have been a catastrophe.<\/p>\n Llansawel had only really one good chance in the Drenewydd penalty area and you surely don’t need me to tell you what happened.<\/p>\n Nevertheless Llansawel have made something of a habit of dropping points by conceding goals in the final minutes of a game and today was no exception. A 1-1 draw was probably a good reflection of Y Drenewydd’s failure to capitalise on the chances that they had and a tribute to Llansawel’s dogged defence. From a neutral spectator’s point of view, it was a thrilling, exciting match.<\/p>\n Tomorrow is shower day of course, and radio day too so I’ll be busy. It will all keep me out of mischief anyway, I suppose.<\/p>\n But before I go, seeing as we have been talking about Rolls Royces … "well, one of us has" – ed<\/em> … when Tiger Woods came to play at the Scottish Open a few years ago he hired a Rolls Royce from Edinburgh Airport and set out to drive to St Andrews.
\nOn the way he picked up a young girl hitchhiker, and he delighted in showing off all of the luxury fittings in his car. She kept on pointing to things asking "what’s this? What does it do?"<\/em><\/strong> and he told her.
\nShe pointed to some plastic things in the tray by the gear lever and asked "what are those?"<\/em><\/strong>
\n"They are tees"<\/em><\/strong> he said
\n"What are they for?"<\/em><\/strong> she asked
\n"You put your balls on them before you drive off"<\/em><\/strong> he replied
\n"Blimey!"<\/em><\/strong> she exclaimed. "Rolls-Royce think of everything!"<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
