Sir Dai Llewellyn, 4th Bt, who died on Tuesday aged 62, became famous as a playboy, bon viveur and darling of the gossip columns, his reputation reflected in soubriquets such as “Seducer of the Valleys”, “Conquistador of the Canapé Circuit”, “Dai 'Lock Up Your Daughters’ Llewellyn” or simply “Dirty Dai”.
On his return to Britain, however, he “met someone wonderful and never looked back”. His career as a fully fledged cad and bounder had begun.

Oh crap. Is that what I'll look like in 6 years?
I question the judgment of his conquests.

"Dangerous" Dai Llewellyn was a famous Quidditch player for the Caerphilly Catapults, and was noted for the risks he took during a match. He was eaten by a Chimaera while on holiday in Mykonos, Greece. His death resulted in a day of national mourning for all Welsh witches and wizards. Llewellyn was honoured by the creation of the Dangerous Dai Llewellyn Commemorative Medal, and St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries named the Serious Bites ward after him. Kennilworthy Whisp wrote a biography of the player entitled He Flew Like a Madman.

With a low key funeral and a modest burial plot, will the resulting headline be
"Dirty Dai's Done Dirt Cheap"?
Maybe not.
