Have had much banter and comments recently , now soon to be 68 years old and still want to be working at your age , give it up take your Private pension scheme and enjoy life .
No , luckily get a few brain cells still functioning and want to get out of my single lifestyle and do something positive whilst the grey matter is still alert and functioning .
So sit in the house watching daytime crap tele , watching the rain fall all the time and go down the pub later to discuss ballocks with other all dayers .
Now find as older and seen it all before in my past career sadly youngsters are so less confident and outgoing these days , peer pressure or got to do well or classed as failed .
Tin hat time again , youngsters now even on the shop floor cannot get away from their phones , checking messages and posts non stop .
Not the root cause of geniune problems but not making it any easier for the next generation. [Post edited 27 Nov 1:13]

Sister does rear farmland breed pigs , all open air and free to roam on grassland until slaughter , have had some pork sausages from her barn door business and the taste was so different to bangers from the Supermarkets , as a farmer no more freebies thereafter all got to paid for at top dollar if I want anymore .
Will I now go back and pay £3 for six quality sausages or a Quid for some leftover ears and remains of a captured pig which had no life .
No wonder one of my family turned Vegitarian from a very young age after seeing well looked after animals , then as said earlier , shrink wrapped offal available to the customer who cannot afford prime cuts of meat . [Post edited 27 Nov 0:23]

Arguement put forward by the EFL soon after this nonsense idea hopefully ignored .
How can a nominated Club governed under our rules and regulation then go off and compete in their own internal matches .
All you Welsh Clubs want to play as your own breakaway in a Competion not sanctioned or rcognised by The Football Leauge , carry on , but not a good look for other teams aiming for their goals , hey the Welsh teams have had a freebie into Europe via a back door .
Bin the idea , stay under FA Rules as they are , or we need to be Independent like the SFA . |

Some very wealthy farmers found the loophole out of paying Capital Gains Tax by trusting their Estate to an heir and the relevant legal paperwork at that time , all above board .
Labour have seen this get out clause and want to close it , big earners now will pay CGT in another form of taxation .
Like them or loathe them Farmers are necessary for quality local shop products .
Many customers will put local produce first over Supermarket pre packed off the shelf .
Strangely my very close family member was up in arms when we left the EEC after Brexit .
No more funding for her livestock thereafter .

Put my head above the parapet time and say I voted Refom at the last General Election .
Protest vote or not .
The Two main Political Parties are so out of control in their reasoning to put the UK first I gave up on them as a valid choice .
Consevatives are licking their wounds after the thumping at the ballot box and Labours manifesto promises are turning out to be lies on a daily basis , albiet spun in a nice way .
Give Starmer a tick for continued support of Ukraine though .
Corbyn would have no direction to go to if he was in the hot seat .
He did have Diane Abbot as a voice of reason behind him if it came to worse case scenario . |

Did hear a ticket price for the South Africa game was £ 95 in some seats , wow .
Pyrothectic and fancy lighting in the build up to ko time looked impressive mind .
Style over substance again by the WRU , question will be where did that admission fee go to.
On the field Wales can only play the cards they are dealt with , the players for now we have .
If we cannot compete at the top level in World Rugby anymore maybe we should accept it and stop blaming players , coaches , regional rugby , Nigel Walker is the scapegoat now .

Once that £ sign comes into the equation during family discussions , loyalty goes out of the window , been there and seen it happen in my dealings with financial issues as a family .
Rich relatives once the red mist and money is mentioned grab what they can get .
Family feelings and best use of the legacy are totally ignored by others who want their cash .
Sad end to a great effort by Sir Tom and money raised .

Spot on , days long gone of North Bank camaradie amongst them who ventured into that hotbed of loyalty for The Swans .
Malcolm Struel , Doug Sharpe and Huw Jenkins , all business men at the core and want to make a profit in their overall planning .
Yet these past Chairmen , love them or loathe them were The Swans backers at the helm .
Now sadly Oil Barons and Hollywood Stars control football .
The walk up the slope to the NB at The Vetch on a midweek evening game is priceless .
A total money making exercise or toy for the wealthy and celebs .
Appreciate time has left me standing still in our new culture these days , but will never forget that walk up the NB Vetch Field slope for a midweek floodlight fixture as a youngster . |

Skim over daytime tele there days , all ad breaks promoting cremations , sick children in Africa appeals and cruises for people too old to see through the nonsense .
So many house bound could be drawn into this advertising and freely pick up the phone .
Similar to Betting sites again encouraging free spins on a viewers mobile phone at hand .
ITV are dominated by adverts , but sometimes watchable is Who Wants to be a Millionaire . Fun to watch as entertainment and shout at tele time , Clarkson is Marmite I know .
Sometimes overlook Attenborough programmes then catch up later on , masterpieces . |

Never wanted Starmer at the helm and never voted for him .
But Sir Kier the World picture map is changing daily whoever you tune into via tinternet .
Got to cut him slack though , a small player in the big bad World , thus we all feel it .
Privliged will not feel the heating bills as usual , but still toastie in their own Homes .
My British Gas Bill will offer me a measly discount and new rates if I change my now so complicated policies to another deal they can offer of course .

Club v Country for Wales , Giggs albiet with Fergie pulling his strings in the background probably set the though patterns of Managers .
Giggs then became headline news in the tabloids , as a coach he done ok for Wales .
Seems now Harry Kane is not happy on England players avoiding representing their Country at Internatinal level , many feigning injury , Premier League starts up next week though .
Wales v Portugal Euros 2016 was the ultimate achivement for Welsh football .
What a game and that Ronaldo header still brings back a just wow moment . |

How the heck are we not selling our Home allocation for the Leeds game .
Pirore , James and Rodon returning , boo them or cheers them whatever you prefer .
Sometimes footballers need to move on , sentiment is a non event .
Famous Club with a great history , Dirty Leeds on our doorstep so go and watch them .
Sunday football and live broadcasts could be blamed on attendence numbers for the game .
Did read Wales v Wallabies rugby was put on tele at that then crazy 16.10 pm KO time on Sunday as no other main stream broadcaster could bother with that match . |

The UKs stance and positioning on real World decision making is minimal now .
USA , China , Russia and North Korea are the players , add Iran and Israel .
India could now become Russian besties .
Most ot these places did not even bother to go to COP 29 Climate talks , said a lot .
Sadly we are small fry now as a dominant voice on the top table anymore .

Festive Greeting instead of Merry Christmas is now the norm in many ad. campaigns .
Either version of that description of Xmas goes over my head anyway .
Supermarkets playing Xmas songs early November , now my tele box infested with TV commercials all just after Bonfire Night .
An example of shoppers and the public being duped into spending money just for their promotions of the next big event , sadly many families fall for the hype without the means to later pay for their outlay , debt added to debt follows .
Christmas , bah humbug . |

Cardiff Bay have brought nothing to Swansea or surronding areas .
The WAG spin over Amazon locating in Jersey Marine was sickening , a tick box exercise .
They will up roots tomorrow for a better sweetner and rehire their staff elsewhere all on zero contracts as normal these days sadly .
Fadin Way Campus was financed by EU money in construction , we are out of it now .
Cardiff seems to thrive at all times though , no lack of investment up East it seems .
Mabe some of the soon to be 96 Members get off their butts and take a walk around some of our Town Centres , see what is really happening .

Just caught up with strange video postings and rant on Tinternet on a bloke who someboby had filmed and ran to The Sun Newspaper with this exclusive scoop , hold the press .
Bloke looked off his face moaning about Liverpool and Klopp , decisions made onfield will annoy managers , reactions follow and MOTD post match interviews paper over issues .

Have a skin irritation , flares up and can be aggresive on some occasions , it is troublesome without being life threating medical issue , some patients have lost their lives in the back of ambulances in a parking bay , I cannot complain in the bigger picture of the state the NHS .
GP appointments are a lottery , go on our designated online booking system to see a Doctor or book a phone consultation with our triage system of dealing with ailments .
How any older patients can navigatate this minefield of online bookings or even go to a designated site , not many I presume including me on occasions .
Good news is I have had a letter from Swansea Bay Trust regarding this issue I have .
Waiting list to see a Specialst Dermatologist is over a Year , just passed that milestone now in my case .
