Reply | Asylum Bill hits £5.3 Billion
at 01:34 29 Nov 2024
Starmer and his awful Cabinet have lied all through their short tenure at No.10 .
Broken promises and pledges in his manifesto , now a laughing matter for ridicule .
Immigration will be stopped asap , no tax rises apart from the fudged over small print .
All lies by another Politician as usual .
Quick listen in on catch up Radio of Jeremy Vine challenging that lovable rougue Bojo on his stance during the COVID lockdown and Partygate was waffle of the highest order .
There again he was flogging his book , hopefully bargin bin reading in a few weeks . |

Belarus , Gerorgia and now it seems Romania undergoing a shift of attitudes albiet dodgy voting patterns or other outslde influences .
Europe is shrinking as a Continent and Power it seems , EEC membership was thrown away by the last Brexit vote , nice one by whoever voted for Brexit , so now the UK is stranded .
Never mind Trump will be in power soon , pull Uncle Sam out of NATO and cut funds to help Ukraine , they will then be on their own too .
Big Continents will get bigger Africa , Asia and America will swamp the EU and their ideals .
Yes we as a big chess game are pawns , cannon fodder for the big hitters Worldwide . |

Dai the drop and Jimmy Rimmer were Tosh signings way back in the good old days .
Sure Harry Griffiths was manager on my first ventures onto the fearful NB as my parents tried to stop disuade me from attending football in Swansea on a floodlight Tuesday.
The rebel in me ignored their half hearted appeals , gave up and then The Vetch was it .
Look into Wikipedia soon to find out Tony Millington replacements needed . |

Micheal Laudrup got The Swans into Europe football adventures without the need for a cheap alternative to qualify for Tournaments , what a loss he was for our Team .
Now and maybe the EFL could say go back to your LOW status , not wanted anymore in our pyramid workings on competive Divisions and Status .
In the words of the Dragons Den , Im out . |

Always looked like he had slapped to much Brycleem on his well groomed hair style .
His sideburns were a blast from the past too .
Sadly I now cannot claim ownership any more of them hairstyles and facial growth .
Dai Davies and the brilliant Dave Stewart were the next generation of keepers I remember but cannot remember Tony Millingtons replacements , bit of a memory gap there . |

Few years ago went to Nottingham Indoor Arena , also their skating centre as their main Arena attraction , went to see a band on this occasion for that night .
Female friend of mine tagged along for the overnight stop , I paid for her too .
Nottingham City Centre was great in the day but she had read it was the stabbing centre of the UK and never left her hotel room after dark , stayed there out of fear stories .
Been to Birmingham for shows in their Indoor Arena and later drinks on Broad Street but again some places felt very edgy and careful making my way back to the Hotel later .
Just hope Swansea , its surroundings and attractions never become a no go area .
London for me is a Tourist attraction , a money making enterprise to fleece gullible visitors and make a fortune on motorists who dare to try to enter the UKs Capital City . |

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]

Reply | Swansea City put forward a project plan to play in the Welsh cup (part 2)
at 00:53 26 Nov 2024
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 .
Not a happy bunny . |

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 . |
