We are please to announce that we have a new guest contributor.
The Reverend M. Aural Ayegrownd

Introduced to the site, and myself, by the one and only Rod Damon aka The Coxeman. The Rev will be submitting some guest articles to the site and hopefully some comments as well.
Once again, as with The Coxeman, the views and opinions expressed may not necessarily be those of the site owner !

A Brief History

I suspect we’ll get to know more in the fullness of time but this is just a little of the information relayed to me by The Coxeman so I’ll hand you over to Rod Damon …

Morning Campers !
Rod Damon international counter spy and adventurer here. I first met the Rev as he was leaving a smoking club I frequent in W1 London. He looked a little dishevelled and the worse for wear but left the gentleman’s club via the side door with his head held high, unfortunately his feet were held higher as he was being assisted in his exit by two doormen !

Not wishing to pass on the other side I offered some assistance to the crumpled heap in a dog collar I saw steaming in the alleyway. At first he appeared grateful for the helping hand but upon smelling whisky on my breath proceeded to roundly harangue me about the sins of drinking. This despite the fact that he himself would probably measure 40% proof if tested !
I immediately took to the man.

I suggested a restorative snorter at my club rather than the smoking club, tentatively suggesting it more be more ‘convenient’ - the Rev. quickly agreeing to, as he put it, more congenial surroundings.
A short walk, or in this case a long stagger, saw us safely ensconced in high-backed leather chairs nursing triple Jameson’s and a couple of Cohibas. As our waiter poured out a couple more desperate measures the Reverend poured out his desperate heart !

I’ll just bullet point a few of the salient facts about the man and his life and let the rest come out over time.

Initially an Anglican priest he was defrocked after a misunderstanding at a nunnery

Then followed a year berating sinners everyday at speakers corner

A brief spell as a Catholic priest ensued until an infamous incident with communion wine

A stint as a missionary ended in a spell in an Angolan jail despite the British consul’s best efforts

The fortuitous inheritance of a house and small annuity now allows him to live in the capital city in reasonable comfort

Due to previous difficulties he has all but abandoned conventional religion for day-to-day matters and now worships the sun, except on cloudy days. He is also a staunch advocate of the ‘Flat Earth Theory’

This sees him where I found him, well not quite he was upside down in a skip but I speak metaphorically, a man with extremely pious views and virtuous beliefs but seemingly plagued by the problem of applying them to himself as readily as he does others.

I give you The Reverend M. Aural Ayegrownd
