Peter Wyles – SANGHA KOMMUNE (SSR)

UK: Moses Waveman Addresses the Nation! (25.12.2025)

My father is something of a local celebrity around the Paignton area. Why? Well, about 15 years ago he started waving at passing traffic and attracted a cult-like following. Even the Guardian, Mail, and Telegraph all hunted him down for an interview. He is viewed by locals as a Gandalf-figure – who pisses off the local hotel managers, police, and even members of the local lodge – if you catch my drift. On occasion he has been one wave away from an ASBO – or whatever the anti-social orders have been called – but as he is not making the noise, there’s not alot the nay-sayers can do about his tactics of undermining the status quo. The above post has just been published on my Dad’s blog for those who sre interested.

At his peak, however, he was a very good all-rounder wielding the bat and ball. When a child, my father taught me all the rules of cricket and this is why I know a) how to play the game, and b) what is going on when watching it (we support Leicestershire County Cricket Club – and we watched them play once). I have tried to teach my partner and children – but the modern youth now have the internet to take their attention! I have played “in-door” cricket – as well as cricket on a proper pitch – and I never wore a helmet (I couldn’t afford one). When standing at the crease – the mind must be calm and expansive – clear and reflective. Peace and self-control must permeate reality – whilst the bat and ball must be properly utilised in a technically perfect manner. There is no hatred for the opposition – or unnecessary attachment to one’s team-mates – all are equal to the true gentleman. This is why I refer to cricket as a form of English Confucianism!

My Dad types with one-hand – his left – so it takes hours just to produce a single (simple) post. This does not stop his drive – despite being 82-years old! Hope springs eternal. I like to share his blog-post to a larger audience – as I think wisdom is magnified through its sharing! Diane Wyles took this photograph and digitally enhanced it for social media usage. Dad has included a poem by Dylan Thomas – and reiterates the fact that we must continue to fight the oppression that runs through the centre of UK culture. Whilst doing this – we can do this on our own terms. Those with power can do whatever they won’t to – but whilst our bodies are being oppressed (and are choices taken away) – we can retain whatever attitude we wish to have. So be it. We will fight and die on our own terms – this is a right that cannot be taken away.

Torquay: Moses Wave Man – My Dad is a Modern-Day Wizard – and He Has Made a Post! (24.7.2025)

Remarkably, despite being right-handed, from 72 onwards, he re-learned how to do everything with his left-hand. Recently, he has been in and out of hospital in Torbay a number of times – with NHS staff stabilising his health and allowing him to go back out “waving” in the Bay. However, the visits are becoming far more frequent and I have started to receive enquiries about his health – even from the local and national media! Typical of my Dad, (he taught us to always find a way through the current hardship), he is dictating the content of his latest posts to whichever family member is visiting him. Hopefully, he will rise again for one more good round – and demonstrate his mettle and grit yet again!

Paignton: Moses Waveman – Appearing Opposite the Gasworks for a Limited Time! (24.6.2023)

24/06/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

My father used to wave further up the road but due to the Managers of various (UKIP-supporting) Hotels in the area continuously calling the Police due to drivers ‘beeping’ their car-horns in happiness – he moved to the more remote area away from these deficients and their bigoted attitudes! After-all, the happiness he represents will outlast the dark politic intrigues these reprehensible individuals support! As Moses Waveman always says – look toward the light – as that is the direction the answer to all your problems lie! Today, as he is 80 years old, my father states that he is mostly ‘light’ and that when what is left of his body finally transitions into pure consciousness – it will be time to leave this Earthly plane! THANK YOU Yannis Nicolaou and the Young People of Toorbay!

Football History – I Was There! Pre-Season Friendly: Sutton United Vs Leicester City – Played Tuesday July 16th – 2002 [Kick-Off 7:30 pm]! (14.6.2002)

Eventually, during the 1970s, he founded the ‘Tiverton Town Cricket Club’ (TTCB) – and for a time found fame with the antics and achievements this sporting entity achieved! I was actually researching old newspaper articles featuring ‘Peter Wyles’ who is described as the ‘Captain’, ‘Manager’ and even ‘Groundsman’ between 1975-1980! Like everything, eventually other power-bases (and egos) developed and my father quietly withdrew! This is why today all kinds of people make ‘fake’ claims to having founded ‘Tiverton Town Cricket Club’! As a young child, I used to accompany my father to the Tiverton Cricket Club Home Ground (during all kinds of weather) – situated on the outskirts of Tiverton (near the Rugby Ground) – where he used to cut the grass, ‘roll’ the ground and ‘mark-out’ the pitch! I even have memories of attending one or two ‘Home’ matches – and remember talking to the other team members (including ‘Peter Goldsworthy’ and ‘Pete Townsend’, etc). I also remember that one or two of my father’s friends in the team were attending St Luke’s Sports College (in Exeter) at the time – which meant they were of ‘Professional’ cricketing standard with no one locally realising the situation!
