Saturday was the wedding of Walesboy and Ammos, so it was a case of getting up, suited and booted, and off to a church in Connah’s Quay, near queensferry. The wedding had some novel extras, like the choir of knights templar’s, and the vicar with the monty pythen comedy limp. It was missing the cute, single, bridesmaids or guests that I believe should be mandatory at any wedding I go to, but otherwise it was a nice ceremony.

Then it was a quick trip to the pub for a couple of pints to waste time till the evening do, Lesson 1: If you go to a very busy bar during a football match where they are cued up several people deep for drinks, and you are wearing a suit you get every barmaid coming over to serve you.

Then there was the evening do, which went along the normal lines. Drink, buffet, dancing, where the dj played a minimum of decent tracks, and did his best to keep the dance floor empty for fire safety reasons. Lesson 2: Wedding dj’s have no taste in music. and so it went on till past the witching hour…
Sunday – after a lie in to recover from the night before, it was time to quickly grab some food, then off to the dojo for a shadow wrestling seminar, then grading day. And I was glad I had stayed off the booze the night before or I would never have passed, it was hard enough with the examiner having a different view of the moves than I had learnt. But I managed to pass, which was good…

After a quick stop off for my niece to show me how she could ride her bike without stabilisers (She had just learnt that morning how to) I went home to relax with a good book, and to watch the film “Cursed”. Interesting film but a bit too predictable.
Well after two lovely hot, sunny days when I was too busy to do anything, I was looking forward to the Monday. But alas it was not to be, it was a day of rain, hailstones, and coldness…

So I gave up on my original plans and went shopping instead, then continued my relaxing with a good book. Well the last month had been a very hectic one, with way too much stuff going on to the point some days were double if not treble booked. I am looking forward to having a rest this week…

1. Why the dragon icons?

Well I have always used a dragon in some form on most the logos, icons I use, And it fits in with the name penddraig (Pen Dragon)

2. What is stupidest thing you have ever done?

The stupidest thing I have ever done? Now that’s a hard one, picking just one stupid incident from a long life of stupidity! But lets see? Err, I suppose turning down the high paid job in Cheltenham, that came with an impressive starting wage, flexytime the works, But I was unable at that time to move away from the area for personal reasons . But it was a stupid thing to do.

3. If you could change one thing in your past, what would it be and why?

Well one regret I have, which could also have been used into the previous question as a stupid thing I have done, was the way I dealt with something on my first trip to Dublin. I was walking along the road heading out for a nights drinking, when an extremely cute girl started walking down towards me, so being me, as she walked past I turned around to check her out from the rear, Only to discover she was doing the same to me. So busted we stopped walking, smiled at each other, she waved sheepishly, so I waved back, turned and continued on my way to the pub, only to start kicking myself later for not going over to chat and taking her out to the pub with me. So I would like to go back and change that moment, for she was stunning…

4. Firearm or Blade?

Depends on the situation. For death from a long distance you can’t beat a sniper rifle, but for up close, silent death then it’s a blade. So to answer that : – It depends on the situation.

5. What does your name mean?

Pen”drag*on, n.
A Chief leader or a king; a head; a dixtator,
– a title assumed by the ancient British chiefs when called to lead other chiefs.]”>

The Welsh word pen is full of mythical and historical resonance. It means ‘head’ — both one’s
physical head and also the sense of ‘chief, leader’. The latter meaning exists in English as
well, but not with the same force: ‘head dragon’ doesn’t quite make it as a translation of penddraig.
