It will serve me well. You have been instrumental in changing my view that kit choice should be about how well the colour of a piece of gear sets off my eyes or complements my skin tone and for that I shall always be in your debt. Mind you, those pegs were a beautiful shade of blue....FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-86687795886640167922014-04-25T22:25:23.643+01:002014-04-25T22:25:23.643+01:00So is it going to be used on the TGOC ?

Good chap, and do well and keep up the standards you now have attained.

But then so does Wembley Stadium. I am slightly concerned about the lack of blue pegs in my bag but the steely grey titanium ones do show my eyes off very prettily. I shall lend you a red peg at Callater as your eyes very definitely will match it.

It was the great Duke of Wellington who said "never explain, never apologise". Another of his memorable lines relates to his birth in Dublin to English parents. When someone suggested to him that this made him Irish he replied "and so if I had been born in a stable would that have made me a horse?"FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-43530438581224984622014-04-25T19:15:02.470+01:002014-04-25T19:15:02.470+01:00The video wasn't dodgy in itself.
