Laudrup , Martinez and Brendon Rodgers , managers come gone moved on to better roles . Cooper , Potter now Russell Martin all Premiership level , we had them all once . How now we cannot attract a forward thinking manager , out of the box tactician . Back in the dark days we took a punt on John Toshack ftom Cardiff . First Division football followed some 5 years later . Swans v Arsenal , never happen . Win at all costs now , short term contract for a new manager plus limited budget . Chelsea are throwing out 7 years contracts to Managers , fail after a few games pack your suncream and sit on a beach for a few years . |

Great list of artists who left us far too early . Karen Carpenter , health wise or other issues surronding her loss of life , what a voice . Badfinger were a bit before my time . Man at the Patti Pavillion , Deke Leonard included , vinyl 33 album in the plastic sleeve cover them days , loved annoying the parents playing Bananas very loud . Many years later after a break up , my ex threw all my vinyl classics in a skip for the tip . Got over it , not bitter in any way . |

Ad Hoc poll at the start of this poll suggests Reform / Coservative are ahead of Labour in our thinking around here . Interesting to see if this thinking now carries over to the Ballot Box . Is the Red Rosette losing its grip in Wales . Boundary changes have also brought Brecon into the Pontardawe area for electors , Yellow / Blue voters now taking out the Red Neef vote . |

Opening article on this topic is a real eyeopener of background issues today . Media reports indicate a youngster out for a lads weekend away on a rave ends up in the middle of nowhere later , flip flops and T shirt his only possessions , no water or phone . Some alleged media reports suggest a 40 year old and 18 year old pair of men in the area were questioned , released and done a runner the next day back to the UK . Appreciate a full and thorough police investigation needs to be done . speculation will be rife after that report , sad reading over that particular case . Opinions then turn to revenge , family feuds and innocent people caught up in a bigger and more sinister culture around us . Cannot see a happy ending here for the missing boy . |

First mental picture im my mind on the news of his passing was him as Sgt. Oddball . Sure his back catalogue goes way deeper than Kellys Heros , but that is how I will remember him . The Three main leads in that film , him alongside Clint and Kojak , perfect casting . |

One of the reasons my vote is looking less likely to go to Labour . The Blue side of Westminster are just as bad , promises over the control of the small boats Resettlement agreements with Countries more than happy to take our money for a zero return to us , the taxpayer . Have voted in the Straw Poll above , needless to say neither of the above feature . |

Always thought whoever could get a grips with the small boats issue I would consider that Party in my final decision at the ballot box . Now it seems daily record numbers are crossing and looks like The Tories have chucked the towel in on any chances of contolled immigration , a now lost cause to implement . No help from The French either yet they were quick enough to take UK money promising to clamp down on their side or the Water . Likewise Rwanda , took our resettlement money and nothing in return . Uk really are top notch at throwing money at lost causes , our money of course . |

Just watched a bit of WAG and First Minister Questions on my telebox , catch up stuff . Thought Westminster was bad with 650 + MPs , our Senedd Speaker could not control 60 of our elected leaders backchatting through Gethins speaking , nonsense or not . Who is he , no idea just seen him for the first . Yet WAG want to increase Members to 90 . Enough issues with Houses of Parliament decisions for Wales , yet red Rossette will win again . My hard earned 50p on Reform , jury is out but thinking about a punt on it .. |

Reporting on Radio Wales earlier Vaughan Gething and Keir Stamer at loggerheads over who holds the Welsh financial purse . Labour /Labour divide in Wales could be on the cards because of this dispute . Even with potential infighting and all the nonsense in Cardiff Bay , Labour will get in here . Bigger picture I have no idea . |

Undecided . No party is filling me with confidence at the moment . Labour seem on the brink of wanting to announce a review of Council Tax Banding which of course will be another increase in my monthly bills . They know it will be an Election Loser if they go through with it but is it in the small print somewhere in their Manifesto. Reminds me of the Leave vote we had , first time round I had a nailed on verdict on my vote Second time round walking up to the ballot box with my slip , entered closed my eyes and marked an X anywhere . Think this could be a repeat performance in this General Election . |
| Forum Reply | Serbia V England matchday thread at 00:38 17 Jun 2024
Nothing against England football team , but if they win this Tournament switch of any media oulets for weeks to come , Sweet Caroline , Footballs coming home etc will be the headline. As a neutral viewer for this game , England went off at a pace , Saka and Bellington impressed but wish the commentary team stopped adoring them every time . Shearer kept waffling on about Kane have just one chance to score , repeat all broadcast . England probably happy with the result , Serbia will still be in with a shout . Knock out stages are more exciting though , group games are sometimes a non event . So far from my viewing Scotland were beaten by a much better team Germany . Home Nation holding the event , my 50p might be on them . |

White and Jordan are great on Talksport , only reason I listen to that Station mid morning . Scotland were out of their depth playing Germany , passion and a brilliant support they had was never enough to compete with the big boys . England soon to play , pump up the media coverage to 11 if they win that game . Footballs coming Home sang everywhere if they win the Tournament , please no . |

Nice one , work in retail now and the amount of theft and shoplifting is a plague . Honest and genuine customers are a pleasure to meet , but distraction theives are rife . Growing up to take something unpaid for off my local corner shop was my family name all over our small village gossip , a no brainer for me them days . If I see a customer flusterd or confused money wise with cash , help out . Have returned Tenners and Twenties notes found in my aisle back to Customer Services . That money could be a lifeline to many struggling families . |

My Sister travelled the World following Lions / Wales tours NZ and Oz included . She loved it and paid big money to enjoy the tours , she did , Campese was one guide . Me cannot be bothered to watch Tipcs , AWJ , Biggar etc on my doorstep . World Class players few miles down the road from pass on it . Why is the marketing of the product so poor for The Ospreys or probably punters not going through then turnstiles any more . Recent tele bits I have seen of Parc y Scarlets and The Liberty appear to show minimum crowds attending . WRU will claim the sport is in good health based on daffodi masks and beer sales . |

Just catching up on the news , seems some Welsh AM Laura Anne Jones has been fiddling her travel allowances , get as much expenses as you can on my fuel allowance please . Never heard of her , no interest but another freeloader in the Sennedd and yet they want more on the gravy train in Cardiff Bay . Words fail me on inept and useless our elected Politicians are a joke alas . July 4th and I will vote whatever happens , somehow and somewhere there must be a decent guy to run The UK .

Against the bigger picture of corruption and lies coming from Westminster this is minor. Yes he is a small cog in a big wheel but will his peers now have the same scrutiny put into their financial dealings , we all know the answer to that . Whether he is booted out or given a slapped wrist I do not really care . He will be made a scapegoat and get massive critisism from all sides including The Tories . Good luck with all the incoming finger pointing . Footballers and Cricketers are all at it , in their case using a Third Party to place bets or using online gambling . Surely this guy was not dull enough to wander into Ladbrokes and put a ton over the counter under the eye of CCTV . There again he is a Politician , they all make errors of judgement .

Very many years won a competition on Swansea Sound and was invited into the Studios to recieve the prize live on air , a teasmaid , top draw stuff back then . I never used it . John Sachs , son of Andrew Sachs , Manuel in Fawlty Towers was the host of the Show I was on that day . He was a tidy guy , few years later I think he went up London area , last I heard he was on Capitol Radio . Might have a dig around after to see where he ended uo . |
