Hola Amigos

My Name is Gigsy, But I Have Lots of Nick Names Like Blades And Torridge Teddy.
I Was Born In A Place Called Calella, In Spain Near Barcelona (C'mon CF Barcelona!)
And Soon I Decided To Explore The World... So I Stuck A Pin In The Map And Up Came Appledore....
Soon After I Came To England On That Noisey Areoplane And I Became A Member Of TPGC.
I Was Told That I Could Be The Mascot Because I Couldnt Reach The Oars Or The Foot Rest.
One Night The Men Asked Me To Sit In The Bow Of The Boat To Watch Them Row. I Enjoyed It
Very Much Except The Part Where I Got Wet. My First Time In A Gig Was Most Exhilarating,
And I Soon Got Used To It.

When The Gig World Champions Came About, My Freinds Woke Me Up very Early In The Morning And Shuved Me into A Bag,
And Carted Me Off The The Isles Of Scilly. As Soon As We Arrived I Had To go To The Toilet... Because I Felt Very Very Sick.
We All Met Up With Old Freinds And Started To St. Agnes, Where We Were Staying. 
After All The Tents Were Set Up We Went To Bed Early As It Had Been A very Long Day.
Over The Next Days I Stayed In The Bow Of The Will-to-Win And Watched Every Race. And When It Was Time To Come Home,
It Was All So Very Sad, We Said Goodbye To Our Mates And Travelled On The Scillionian III To Penzance.

Adiós Amigos,
Gigsy.
