Villagers? Get your ego in check. Patronising doesn't suit you | | | |

I'm a Swansea man, I l die one.
If I see a topic relating to Swansea I ll comment. I set out to offend nobody but people like you seem utterly incapable of commenting without insults.
Plenty of other posters point out Swansea s minus points, also the plus.
Frankly, I'm only bothered about my home town as is the case with many exiles.
We re going around in circles initiated and perpetuated by a few.
See a username ,jump in.

MR. Perch, it isn't a cess pit. | | | |

You do this often too. Contradict yourself and then when someone points it out, you resort to talking nonsense. Some kind of weird deflection tactic I think. | | | |

He's a f*cking nutter that's why. | |

You boys have got a personal beef. I don't want to get involved with that, but if he keeps on slating Swansea I'm going to keep on responding in kind.
Constructive criticism fine, myopic patronising is going to get a response. | | | |

You go for it. | |

You'd be surprised. | |

Wind St wasn't the night entertainment "centre" of Swansea 25 years ago let alone 35. That was the Kingsway back then. | |
| |
| Does anyone help? on 19:46 - Sep 14 with 1525 views | Gowerjack |
True enough.
My parents used to dispair of me going to Wind St in the early 80's and wondered why I didn't go to the "much safer" Kingsway with everyone else.
If only they knew. | |

Mo,it's not a personal beef.
It's simply a case of a pathological liar and hypocrite of extraordinary proportions single handedly ruining this site or any comments I might make.
He s poisoned relationships I've had with long term chums and I ll never forgive that.
Others have also pointed out his hate,envy and simple contempt for anyone he dislikes .
I can argue with plenty on here without hatred.
Move the feck on
And finally dicky, wind st was a place to be proud to work in , people dressed in suits and went to work there.
CompAred to what it was it's a cess pit and many jacks avoid it.
That is the truth and outsiders should stay out of Swansea spats.
Nobody seems to concerned about Carmarthen | |
| |
| Does anyone help? on 20:21 - Sep 14 with 1493 views | dickythorpe |
Nobody's making digs at Carmarthen that's why. Plus my whole family are from Swansea, I've spent most of my weekends in Swansea, I still have family there plus friends.
I won't stay out of Swansea matters you total nincompoop! | | | |

"wind st was a place to be proud to work in , people dressed in suits and went to work there.

Difficult to argue with that in all honesty. | |

I understand many are apparently under the influence if the sites most venal liar and interloper but look at the title and see when how and by whom it drifted into this.
Anyone not seeing wind st is a stain on a once proud city needs a lobotomy.
Next time, I ll illustrate how our lovely kings way has been destroyed forever.
I've got family in Swansea too, plenty of them all born bred jacks
Finally since when did neath people love Swansea . Pitiful stuff.
All neathie and port talbot and Turks I knew hated anything Swansea.
This is the truth .this is uncomfortable. | |

The Kingsway is a shithole.
Witness the "temporary " crash barriers splitting it in two because of the fatally dangerous and discredited bendy bus experiment.
A once thriving street by day and night reduced to a shadow of its former self through bad planning decisions and neglect by the local authority. | |

So tell everyone what I've lied about.
Bet you don't answer. | |

Yes - it was the Burroughs Arms, one of the roughest pubs I've ever been in anywhere. It's now a Spanish bodega place, I think.
One saturday night I counted 7 separate fights in there. Most of the punters were alcoholics or psychos or down and outs. During all this fighting I can remember the whitewashed tyre around the dartboard falling onto someone's head.
That well known Swansea character, Hank, used to drink in here. He tried to sell me some gear & I declined.
The youngest of the Craven brothers was in here one night with his notorious mother & threatened to kill me. Luckily, he didn't - he did that to someone else several decades late.
The optics behind the bar were covered in sailors' caps.
At that time - late 70's early 80's - there were still a few street working women at the bottom end of Wind St. One of them approached me in the Burroughs and offered me out - to do the business in the underpass that used to be there. Unbelieveable!
Wind Street had a proper rough port city ragged edge to it back then - with its sailors and tarts and ruffians and chancers.
Rough as Ar*3 holes back then - It's 20 times busier today, but far tamer and totally characterless in comparison. | | | |
