2007 - A Welsh Odyssey
"Rugby" Tour to Bangor, North Wales
April 2007 |
- Kat and Kym (of the Council for Unions with New Territories -
make up your own acronym!) give out the Mission Guidelines,
ration packs, nicknames and T shirts. Unfortunately the Old
Bangor flew past the refuelling stop in the Alpha quadrant!
- "I swear
allegiance to Leos and agree to abide by the guidelines set out
by the Council for Unions with New Territories. I am willing to
drink copious amounts of alcohol with no consideration for the
safety of my liver and to sacrifice my self respect in order to
complete the mission for which I have been chosen. I am a
Leosmonaut and I am proud."
|
 |
 |
- All Leosmonauts were put through a series of training
exercises to assess their fitness for the mission. All of the
front row ended up on one team - it was a good job that they
were playing down hill!
|
- Dummy, the deposed Captain, looks on helplessly, as her magic"Rainbow"
socks, prevent her from detaining the Quality and Unit Ingestion
Manager (QUIM) in her tractor beam. Honestly, you don't need to
shout about it - we know what you are!
|
 |
 |
- What's the matter? Have you never seen a Leosmonaut have a
three way before? Oh, and look who is presiding over the
proceedings - recognise the socks?
|
- The Leosmonauts engage in a little bit of Touch and Pass, as
warm up for the afternoon's mission. Oh to be such a young eager
Virgin! The First Assistant for Nominal and Irritating Exercises
(FANIE) makes sure that she is on hand, to answer any requests
from the more mature Leosmonauts.
|
 |
 |
- The Leosmonaut's don their flight suits for their first
mission - who knows whether they will all return safely? And
more to the point, who cares?
|
- The aptly named "Bangor and Mash" demonstrates how
to morph into a Teletubbie. "There's life Kym, but not as
we know it" - just call it "Poo-Poo", the blue
Teletubbie!
|
 |
 |
- "Anyone can Bangor" rides her Space Quad through
the cosmic goo, and into a dismembered hand, which proceeds to
realign her features. Meawhile, the other Leosmonauts get
impatient and ram her Space Quad.
|
- So many constellations, so little time; Leosmonauts practice
the "Orion". Looks like you've got that one nailed,
shame you dropped your arrow!
|
 |
 |
- Using the new Flotation Method of running ladders, nobody
seems to worried that Kym is about to create a Deep Imapct in
the previously unexplored Gastric Region.
|
 |
- Leosmonauts enclose their heads in their Space Helmets, and
savour the unusual aroma. Once in the Cosmic Carts, they blast
off to the Gamma Quadrant, but clearly some will have difficulty
getting there, especially if they are relying on the Satellite
Navigation systems of the Old Bangor. Just in Time to Bangor was
agreed to have the greatest thrust of all Leosmonauts, whilst
Bangor Moaner could only navigate in circles (quickly).
|
 |
- Mr. Spaceman and his trusty Robot highlight the complexities
of inter-galactic, spacial relationships. Physically attracted
to oneanother, but magnetically repelled, it looks as though
they will simply have to remain friends, rather than moving to
another level. Sod it, let's go and have a fermented earth drink
instead!
|
 |
- Fortunately for them, if they have any mechnical problems,
then the intergalactic mechanic is on hand to tighten any
screws, and apply any lubricants as required.
|
|
- Just in Time to Bangor demonstrates the cuboidal complexities
of wearing a Space Rocket, whereas on the right we
have.........................?
- None of us knew what she'd come as either. Apparently, she is
Mrs. Spoon from Button Moon!
- What do you think children, does she look like Mrs. Spoon?
|
 |
- The tallest of the Space Cadets gets fed up of pretending to
be a Charlie's Angel. What is it with her?
- Is it because the other two are so young and so pretty, or is
it that she has some deep, intergalactic bond to the Chav's of
Bathesda, and she needs to find him, and his hoodie?
|
 |
 |
- Everybody knows that SuperTed has a side-kick called Spotty,
but what if your acne is so bad that you actually require two?
- SuperTed tries to look important, but everyone knows that
he's actually having a Clearasil moment, trying to get rid of
his spots!
|
- "Help me Obi Wan Kenobe, you're my only hope!"
- Princess Leia and Obi Wan battle with Darth Vader. As usual,
the Dark Side prevails!
|
 |
- The hills are alive with the sound of "Space Trekkin".
After our trip beyond the Final Frontier, otherwise known as the
M6, the Space Tourists take time to reflect on what a truly
excellent Bangor Tour was been had.
