austinallegro··on Coconuts in Medieval Britain (2015)
Coconuts make for a cost-effective horse substitute during these economically trying times.

Back home in Camelot my trusty servant Patsy swears by them.

austinallegro··on The Toftwood Male Voice Choir: A Mystery Pressed in Vinyl
Author here. That is wonderful to read (and I had hoped it may strike a chord - excuse pun - with someone somewhere).

As was pointed out, this was an experience for me discovering obscure information (like the very loose link to Def Leppard, the guy screening Raiders of the Lost Ark in his home cinema in 1983 etc) from a super obscure vinyl record with very little else to go on.

Really glad to hear the information has been passed on. 10 years later and I still haven't played the record!

Thanks for checking out my post and I hope folks get something out of it.

Maybe the album will find its way back home to the hamlet of Toftwood after nearly 50 years!

This is brilliant. Can you make a sub-game, Streets of Rage II beat em up that you can play when the benches clear in a real game? Perhaps have Mortal Kombat finishing moves when the managers are fighting the umpires?

austinallegro··on The longest Greek word
Well observed, sir. I’m felicitous, since, during the course of the penultimate solar sojourn, I terminated my uninterrupted categorisation of the vocabulary of our post-Norman tongue.

I hope you will not object if I also offer my most enthusiastic contrafribularities.

Thus, I’m anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulations.

May I offer you a pendigestatery interludicule? Anything I can do to facilitate your velocitous extramuralisation.
