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 .
If proven potential fraud his daughter and son in law should be ashamed . |

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 .
We as a Country are being left behind in these awful days of conflict everwhere , nobody rates us 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 .
Bigger story here somebody having a chat with mates as banter , or someone ready to cash in on his stupidity talking as he was , either way it looks like he is finished . |

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 .

Good mate had a DNR option on his mother during the COVID issue to sign that form .
She was in a Care Centre at that time suffering dementia . place was in lockdown then .
He did not sign the document and his mum lived on for a bit longer .
Covid related or natural causes I never asked that personal question to him .
This issue over a trip to Switzerland or on our acceptance here in the UK is debatable .
Would be suprised if this Ruling gets through in Parliment though .
Far too many outside influences and so called experts having their say sadly . |

One of the Oldies who my Parents had the chance to by our Council House at that time .
Lived in that place years later and treasured them time growing up as a family .
Daughter inherited a terraced house , legal issued followed as per norm , but it is hers .
She entrusted a local letting Agency to let the property out , she lives elsewhere .
Comission fees for vetting potential tennants are deducted from her monthly income .
She is happy with that albiet losing cash in hand deals maybe to her benefit short term .

Tyson was a street fighter well before his 20th birthday and first World Belt Title .
The guy was savage in the ring , boxer or street kid made good up for debate .
Enjoyed my old recollections of Benn , Eubank , Bruno all live on tele back then , gone now .
Will take a passing interest in boxing now AJ , Fury and Klitsckhov only for updates .
Many megabucks to Saudi for broadcasting rights via PPV Channel Licencing rights is the way forward now it appears .
Lennox Lewis was graceful in his retirement from the ring , a quiet finale done by him .
Others maybe cannot take that option to get away from their passion being in the ring . |

Gladly no not watch these sort of programmes , of course it is entertainment for many .

My late Great Uncle who sadly passed away a few years ago stood in the water for 12 hrs. awaiting evacuation from Dunkirk .
He never spoke about it in his lifetime and in my company , I did not know his backstory .
On his 90th birthday a family get together was arranged at a local lounge to celebrate .
His son in law had traced his history through War Office records and files to find out his background , he got the facts and delivered a brilliant tribute that night .
Sadly he was suffering from demeteia by then and could not understand that celebration in his name and sacrife going to War .
His tombstone is now etched with the wording of his past challenges . I was proud enough to lay him to rest in his final place . [Post edited 10 Nov 0:50]

Rach and Ange on the Front Bench seen from my eyes on PM Question Time live tele at lunch time look like a pair of angry cats , all stares and snide looking , smug as well .
Comparison to Nadine Dorris falling in love with Bojos lies caught live on PMQ maybe .
Starmer now stating he had a Dinner appointment some weeks ago , it all went ok though .
Any further Meetings planned seem to have evaporated or not been announced .
Trump in his inital chest thumping first wordings were concentrating on putting the USA front and centre of his plans , American voters got it and he walked into The White House .
Now Isreal , Ukraine and Russia are his diplomatic targets to change the World picture .
Last thought on his mind is some nobody UK Politician stating comments that will eventually come back and bite him in the rear end . |

Did not vote for Labour at the General Election , they got voted in so I accept that decision .
The People have spoken and they look forward to change under a new fresh regime at the top table of Government .
However when Sir Kier got the keys to No.10 , Rachel soon followed into No.11 soon after .
All bets are off , sorry but our pledges and manifesto promises were vote winners for us .
This black hole shortfall crops up on every single Political debate , bored of hearing this excuse at every corner of finances , got to be filled at all costs .
Hit the Pensioners , small time business owners and now Students , our future with more debt and taxation rises , train drivers are not moaning about their wages strangely .
Liz and Kwasi ruined the Financial Markets in 63 days of chaos at the helm , what a pair .
Retired now but old Trade Unionist member of TGWU and the Unite Union later called .
Labour lost their way under Corbyn I believe , a headless chicken swayed by any Worldwide issues he could step on their bandwagon . Much like todays lot probably .

Stories abound at the time in his career Hartson approached Martinez and asked to be considered a target for his them Swans squad .
Allegedly Roberto did not see him as an option to his squad and no deal was offered .
Big John and Joey have been great servants for Welsh football but times move on .
Sentiment , loyalty and kissing the badge look great on Match of The Day tele viewing .
Wonder if some of them happy clappy smiley fringe players on the bench will be phoning their Agents on Monday morning .
Get me a better deal elsewhere please .
Could be lack of game time which should be real reason , Manager does not like me and our tactics are wrong as other reasonings and excuses .
A Professional Sportsman at whatever standard has a sell by date , after that your old news .
Premier League wages appall me , maybe give some of the dosh to the lower Divisions .
Now the trait will be Swansea players included , I have a limited time to secure my future . |
