More Details
26/07/17 – Tol
A reminder, as apparently some people still claim to be unaware of it, the Aardvarks web site is to be found at:
“http://aardvarkland.net/”
A repository of almost infinite information and wisdom, it covers all the breaking news on AardHockey and AardGolf.
And talking of breaking news, believe it or not, this just in: it is rumoured that the Trump-meister himself and Newscorp’s benevolent Executive Chairman are considering entering a bidding war of £millions, possibly £billions, for the site’s rights going forward. The initial response from the Aardvark Paymaster General (the Aging Nick Burnett) is “WOW … if this goes through, and obviously there is a lot of room for fake news and error in the early exchanges, it could mean a massive windfall for the Aardvarks that could lead to a £1.03 [£1.0342 to be precise] discount PER PERSON for the next bar bill. In fact, with compound interest, that could rise to as much as a £1.04 [£1.0413 to be precise] per person. I can’t wait for developments!”
If that is not enough to raise your interest, other ringing endorsements of the web site – lest they be required – include:
“mmm, quite interesting” – Niall Clarke
“great cure for insomnia” – Dave “ow, my hand hurts” McGuire
“wow – shows I almost, but not quite, won the golf this year” – disgruntled bald man of Gloucester (who wished to remain anonymous)
“wow – shows I almost, but not quite, won the golf this year” – the Aging Nick Burnett
“just get on with it” – Taylor
So, any photos, videos, poems about puffins, past missives from Taylor, updated/missing e-mail addresses, photos of Phil “Mickelson” Nicholson in a pink Justin Bieber T-shirt (oh no, actually, we’ve already got that Phil) etc, etc, that you think should be added then please pass them on to Aide (Web Master General) and myself (Web Minion) and we will update – with the total editorial rigour you would expect.
FYI
1. Some photos taken on the Edinburgh tour have now been added. These have predominantly been taken by HurdyGurdy and Niall (Rob’s apprentice photographers extraordinaire).
2. The site is best seen on a computer rather than a phone, but is still workable on a phone.
Cheers
Tol (seemingly now a Taylor impersonator – in belly and writing style, if not hair style). :o)

Thanks Tol, a disturbing set of pics I might say that should carry a health warning along with parental controls.
Was somewhat put of my brekkies by the opening pic in the Edinburgh set which left nothing to the imagination and provided an insight into your version of foreplay aka “Sarah watch these vids and I’ll be along …”
“That Tolley, great engine …”
27/07/17 – Dave
Great job, Tol. More complete than the over-rated BBC Sport website, where I was unable to find updates of the recent Scottish tour. V. impressive!

Dave, You were looking in the wrong place. If you got to the NHS website there is a blow by blow account of your contribution to hockey in Edinburgh …

Hi – I agree with Tol’s final point, the pictures look much better on a computer than on my phone.
