Never in my life have I been honoured, so eloquently by a man of verse;
The quality of phrasing that you muster will only make my efforts seem much worse!
King Rod alone in Lincoln can give ‘manpoints’, but for your efforts now I shall create
Another class of gaining recognition, for stalwart work I name you Laureate!

Well done Sir A!

Forsooth,
Sir N du Sud

Though Nev is now resident in the South
His name still spoken, through word of mouth,
“The man is a legend”, they are heard to holler,
Others often say “a Gentleman and a Scholar”

With many a lead being further explored
It’s Rod’s website that stops him getting bored
He always regales stories of North East Lincs
Oh hang on, did someone mention a Sphinx?

But since ‘our Nev’ has gone transworld
Many an idea of his has been unfurled
Today he talks of Privet Hawkmoth larva
Tomorrow he’ll talk about Limber Parva

Though the man is now miles from ‘home’
Don’t hold it against him if he likes to roam
Deep down inside he’s proud and mighty
So allow “Chez Neville” to be an annex of this County

Be careful with this spying game, you could be seen as a potential double agent and Chris knows how to deal with them - I mystelf nearly came a cropper with my Ushanka hat

Since you bestowed the roll of Plenipotentiary upon me, I have planted the flag of Lincolnshire in my southern turf and given notice that forthwith, it is to be regarded as an annex of The County. Afterall, if the Yanks can do it to Alaska…..

Don’t tell anyone but, the above creature is trained to listen out for any information which may be of advantage to our county. ‘The sphynx position’ is only adopted when it is uploading data to the ether; as you can see it’s chin is well tucked in as it is uttering into a discreet microphone before it is transmitted to me via its aerial, (seen on the left). It has an extremely high frequency voice, hence the hiss which makes it unintelligible to humans and I have to lower the frequency tenfold in order to interpret it.

Not living in the finest place on Sol Invictus’ Earth is, as far as can be told, Neville’s only failing !
Proves he’s human I suppose
