Dear Gareth Bale…

Dear Gareth B,

It can’t have failed to escape your notice that your name, when written backwards, is ‘elabh terag‘ which – if I’m not mistaken (I have been mistaken seven times since records began) is the Welsh name for that phenomenon when you can’t remember if you’ve actually locked the front door or turned off the oven or fed the kids and you worry about it just enough to ruin your evening, but not enough to actually do anything about it.

Well done.

Yours,

H. Rumbelow
