I used to get annoyed with people that disagreed with me, so this was one of the things i took a break from. It wasn't their fault, it was definitely mine  .
But we all love the Swans on here and thankfully, we will see the game in a different way, as it would be pretty boring otherwise.
Nice to be back though.  |

I was struggling for a few years, lost interest in most things and just went to work and stayed in, just bored with life and couldn't be bothered.
I never had a light bulb moment, but I did realise that I was becoming a right grumpy old bastard and didn't find joy in anything. However now that i'm typing this out, I do think the wife might have mentioned something .
Anyway, I thought, what's pissing me off, and the things that have helped me have been, watching much less T.V., because there's way too much misery on there, the news, soaps, miserable mini series and so on. I don't read newspapers anymore, and I've really cut down on twitter and "friends" on facebook. I try to relax when driving and just let the idiots go, you're so unlikely to see them again, it's not worth it.
So these days, I walk to work and listen to a podcast or some music. I make sure my family come first, they are my priority so i ignore toxic people. I enjoy cooking, and i never thought i would say that. I listen to music instead of tv, it's just so much better, but the main thing i've done is make just a few hours of me time (believe me, i never thought i would go with a buzz phrase ). Also, as I hate Saturday night tv and the wife loves it, i go in to the kitchen, cook a meal for us and have a drink, sometimes wine, sometimes gin, but mostly beer, I'm currently in to Belgian beer, I don't drink heavily, and not every week, but it's something to look forward to.
My next goal is weight loss, so it's looking for healthy recipes and drinking more water, but not on Saturdays .
All the best to everyone out there and if you need help, bloody ask.
We are here. |

After today, we have to try something different.
We definitely need to move the ball much quicker. there was one point today they had 6 players in our half, we had 5 and possession, yet we didn't look to go forward, just the usual pass it around the back.
We HAVE to be more positive. I think we have the players capable of doing this, we just need to break the old habits and take some chances, give something a go, get their defenders running back and facing their goals.
Come Lukey boy, sort it out. |

Couldn't agree more. I work in schools, the amount of referrals to social services and mental health organisations has gone through the roof. The school youth worker I work with really cannot keep up, he said he can't try and prevent now, it's just fire fighting. T.a's., are struggling to get some kids through the day and on top of that, the horrible kids are verbally abusing them, knowing the consequences are minimal.
As well being a t.a., I used to be a foster carer too but had to give it up as there was no support from the system (not the social workers). It ended up the kids knew we had both our hands tied behind our backs and because of this we lost the kids to scum we would never have let our own kids mix with. So we gave up after the 2nd one , the hurt and frustration was way too much.
There is just so much wrong with the system now, it would take years to repair, especially as the government seem to behave how they want to without any cosequences too. |

Have a look at Tonia's twitter and facebook feeds. She's far from useless and if you want someone on your side in a fight she would definitely be my choice. She votes for what SHE believes in, not what she's told to.
Go and have a chat with her, you'll find out she's far from a f*ckwit, she's quite tidy (for a politician).
Just to add to this I'm no Labour lover, or Tory for that matter, but I do know a decent person when I meet one. |

did exactly the same as you. They haven't moved with the times at all that lot, still stuck in the '80's, guess that's one of the reasons they're not still ay sky.
Oh and because they're shit. |

PC isn't to blame, the piss poor squad from Hj's penny pinching and trousering of money by the old board is to blame.

I flew from there to Amsterdam, it was alright. There was a cafe and bar and it was great only having a 20 minute journey to the airport and free parking.
I also used to deliver around Gower when Air Wales was flying from Fairwood and the nimby's hated it, especially the true Gower resisdents, you know, the one's from England. |
