Grandfather’s pride
Well... it was all over for the Combo Cup 2019. Little F’s team did well... 15/23 and way younger than average. Getting to the finals itself was a tremendous achievement.
What might’ve been a paedo’s paradise, was more of a sweatroom sacrifice. Woe betide any weirdo trying anything with any of those attitudinally advanced aquabats! A headbut in the walnuts with a carbon-fibre-gelled topknot would stop their shenanigans for good.
One moment exchanging raspberries with a nine year old, later on I watched that same young girl morph into a most impressive synchrostar.
Amazing! Well done Little F!

It was astonishing what such a little person could do... but maybe they grow up faster than I catch up! 🤔

Very well written, Neville. Thoroughly enjoyable. Great titles too. And the Monty Python references helped the visuals. Congrats to Little F for making it to the finals. As they say, there's always next year.

Thanks Christopher, Drew. I wondered at the start of writing it if it was a boring indulgence to write it up, but aside from being such agony, it was hilarious too! Particularly the strutting, which was exactly like the Monty Python’s gay army unit routine if you recall it.

I do indeed. I almost laughed my lungs up the first time I saw that. The Ministry of Silly Walks, too.
