Ta(lsa) P.S. I did notice that you had initially mis-spelt Soldier Child, but decided not to pick you up on it after all you do for the cause.

RWC of course. So Wales dominated Australia. That makes it Wales and our spirit brothers Fiji qualifying from our group in the dream scenario for the quarter finals in 3 weeks (couple more rounds of group games to go - 1 more versus Georgia for Wales which is inconsequential to our qualification). Happy days. P.S. Especially since Fiji will play England in their quarter final (and they beat them at Twickenham just before the RWC in a warm up game).

Meanwhile, a bad day in Oz after losing to Fiji. All depends on the match with us next weekend. https://youtu.be/Rhbvwunt_hU?si=3-hRG3DaTn9s880O This passionate fan goes ballistic as the minutes go on. Hilarious. More f***s than Nothings JT has ever managed.

Ha! That sounds like a plan. I know a nice place in Shirakawa-go. I too can play weird guitar (I.e. not play at all) and am pretty sure I’d make a good fist of ruining any record you point me at, so we’re bound to get on.

Dear Wilco. Please book Augie March in support with a contractual ‘best of’ set list (contact me for detailed list). Then I will have to travel to Australia. Ta, Albert

Thank you. From Lake Akan to Ibusuki (plus the two sets of islands I mentioned last time). Overall just about our favourite country!

Been to Kotohira and Ritsurin garden but that is all on Shikoku. Yes the temples/trails there are famous and would love to do them. We have only done a couple of day walks in places like Mount Haguro, Koyasan and Yama-dera. We were going to walk that trail at Tsumago in March but the weather was too wet/cold for it to be enjoyable so we carried on the Hirayu Onsen - nice to be warm in the middle of the snow!

It's a long long way for a couple of shows. I am not Bbop We would go again sometime. If it coincided that would be great, but then we tend to stay outside Tokyo/Osaka. Don't like big cities and the Japanese countryside is so wonderful. We have stayed in Tokyo for a few days to see the sights but last time did not stop there at all. Closest I have stayed to Osaka is Nara, though I was passing though Osaka in March and a couple of hours in the main railway station complex felt like hell on earth. Just like BladeRunner. It was probably an extra shock as we had just flown back to the mainland a

Happy for you too! Was in Japan in March for 3rd time. We were happy to see cherry blossom season for the first time in Kinosaki Onsen.

LOL. The roller-coaster ride that is being Welsh . . .

We made it by the skin of our teeth. Great match for the neutral too. I was encouraged by our display after the past year. Want to see Fiji get through though - they could well beat the Aussies.

Current favourite coat song for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P0YpeMPZ9g

Ta. Ha! Pre match nerves mean I'm up early. Thanks for some great tour reporting. Hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we all appreciate your work. P.S. Only (public school) English use the term 'rugger'. For Welsh it's a definite no-no and liable to get you some funny looks in the pub, if not an outside-round-the-back beating. It's been good so far. Initial glee at an Englishman being sent off after 3 minutes last night gave way to a growing disappointment with the Pumas (still best kit in rugby after Cardiff RFC and old memories of seeing Hugo Porta play for the Barb

Ta(p of the morning to you).

I have a week in Croatia starting in the middle of next week, so it is not in the plans unless Wales get to the very latter stages and the mania sweeps me up. Got to get past the tricky Fijians first on Sunday. Opening match was a good one last night. The Pyrenees/south west France area is my spiritual home in France - which is their rugby heartland. Nice castles too - which is a thing of mine. Cardiff played Toulouse in the first European cup final. I was there (though it was held in Cardiff not Toulouse), and I have met (twice) Thomas Castaignède!

2024 edition due soon I suppose.

Could have been worse - if they had played in Derry. Also @bböp I may be neglecting you in the next month or so (weekends anyway) - it's RWC time! Hurrah!

Ta(tanic) TLA at the museum?

What, I'm going to spend 15 minutes a day with a cup of tea staring at a blank screen? P.S. I don't mind any format as long as you get the numeric days and months the RIGHT way around (so month as month name is best).

I'm wondering what the odds are on you having told him that you model yourself after his stick bag?

Ta(tlock). Did you see the ghost of Tatlock around Manchester? His legend lives on!

Not as well as some who've shared a bathtub with you obviously. Anyway, you'll be back . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgiyq7rqWhg
