Summary

Could 2026 be the year that Elis and John change beyond recognition? And we’re not talking spiritually or even emotionally; we’re talking physically. Because Elis aims to bolster his handsomeness across the calendar year, and John toys with the prospect of going bagless under the old peepers.

Cosmetic surgery aside, John has written up a 28 point plan for if he became World King. Luckily he lost confidence in delivering all 28 points, but do watch this space.

And we kick off Elis’s Annus Connectus by delving back into the nation's favourite pastime: the Cymru Connection. It all ends with Elis asking a random Welsh person whether they know a tech guy from a random theatre who once said he liked the Beatles. Normal Cymru Connecting resumed then.

However, and maybe I'm biased, it's really all about the traitors uncoaked.

Hello and welcome to 2020-6, which is the most futuristic year there's ever been.

1:06.7

But open up your curtains and unfortunately the world is still being run by Dunderheads, baddies and let's face it, the ill.

1:14.5

So to start the year with a bang, John set about creating his seven-point plan for efficiency were he to be elected world king.

1:20.4

Unfortunately, this light-hearted piece of distraction, in reference to something Ellis said a couple of weeks ago,

1:26.9

turned into a draining exercise in how thick people are and how much work needs to be done to create a world that makes sense, and a world suitable for a

1:29.2

population consisting solely of 8 billion Johns. The seven-point plan soon ballooned into a

1:34.9

somewhere between a tract and a breakdown, and in order to enforce his numerous dog-fowling

1:40.7

statutes, the cost of international police presence would run into the tens of billions.

1:45.9

So, for now, it's the same old infuriating world navigated with a smile and a scream by Ellis, John and Dave.

1:52.5
