Always a source of anxiety and usually disastrous. YOu may recall our bloodsoaked trip to Conwy a while back and thos American tourists we firghtened.
Mrs Nick has sprung one one me! We are leaving tomorrow morning for a day trip to a remote part of Wales. Our objective? An all day meeting of the Welsh Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign eeek:
Apparently there will be singing. And Central American snacks. And Welsh people. And the whole thing takes place in the national Tree Huggers Centre at Machynnleth (you try saying it!)
We cannot wait! evil: cussing:

Machynlleth.
What a nice place. I used to work there at a field office occasionally.
Mac - hunt - l -eth.
Renown for tree hugging conventions and all others that can't afford a decent venue.
South American countries have thrived there for decades. I think they try to appeal to the Welsh nationalistic viewpoint of being the poor neighbour.

I can feel Political Incorrectness sort of welling up inside me evil:

Have you been out at lunchtime to practice Nick?

Well done Bouncer ~ I was about to offer a phonic pronunciation but you beat me to it. Nick must however remember that the Welsh do not place a stress or emphasis on syllables the way the English do. Thus all syllables are given the same emphasis.
AND that is why Huw Edwards sounds so odd when he reads the news.
Hmm the quote function appears to have errrr..... misfunctioned. The Nick Effect I 'spect.

How exactly do you manage to get roped into all this shite Nick?
You ARE a mouse, and I claim my applause.
Wouldn't you rather be on gippo watch with me at 'The Swamp'? scared2:
Far more exciting with free full British brekky fry up tomorrow too
-
Talking of 'watching', that reminds me.
I was werkin' at the swamp creating my 'garden' on Wednesday evening. Decided to come home when the mozzy's became unbearable. On the way out, I noticed these headlights coming towards me in the distance on the closed private and gated LOCKED road. scared2:
The car stopped as it drew near, and I jumped out and marched up to the occupant demanding to know what tf he was doing here.
He stated that he worked at the paintballing activity, and had simply come over from Liverpool....to bury his girfriends dead goldfish! happy001
I had no reason to doubt him either, as there in the Walls ice cream box was the corpse. eeek:
I fully expect to see the full flowered memorial tomorrow. lol:
'He was a good fish, never did no one no 'arm.
WHY? sad32:

You get odd people in Liverpool!

"The CAT Visitor Centre is located just north of Machynlleth in mid-Wales' Dyfi Valley. It is a fairly remote part of the country, but is easily accessible by rail and road. The breathtaking scenery, picturesque villages and, of course, the CAT Visitor Centre make the journey well worthwhile!"
Will you be wearing sandals to blend in, or going as normal. Come to think of it, what is normal, I have seen you in formal and casual wear and you looked comfortable in both? rubschin:

Went there meself last year. This is how you get in:
On arrival, visitors ascend 180ft (60m) via a remarkable cliff railway - powered entirely by water. You can sit back and take in the magnificent mountain vista before exploring the inspiring array of exhibits.
What could possibly go wrong? ::)

Well we are supposed to leave in half an hour, but I am the only one awake. I am letting the others enjoy a lie in. evil:

You will have a wonderful day whistle: noooo: Go wake them up and enjoy the fresh Welsh air. Take a coat..I do mean Fresh! lol:

Well what an anthropological day out. Talk about tree huggers.
1. White men with dreadlocks (why?)
2. People in funny hats (one home made and shaped like a tadpole (tail up)
3. Tie dye T shirts (do they still make those?)
4. People doing yoga IN PUBLIC!
5. Bald men with plaits
6. Shamans (in this case trying to flog a farm, complete with Pyramid, as a venue for Eco-Toursim IN COLUMBIA!)
7. People playing Didgeridoos
8.Peruvian break dancing ( eeek:)
9. Middle aged lady Guardianistas dancing (they too had plaits)
10. People still selling Che Guevara T shirts
11. Organic vegetarian coffee
12. Dogs on string (apparently leather leads are non-vegetarian. So what's wrong with plastic?)
13. Men in "camouflage" trousers. Why? I could see them quite clearly. I was going to ask one why but he had a ring through his nose, a dog on a string and a funny hat.
14. A man with a waist length beard and a pointy hat "singing". His "audience" consisted of one person who was clearly too scared too leave. The first line of his song was "I am a child of the Universe". Yes, matey, but which one. I left.
5. And why do pensioners choose to declare their radicalism by wearing berets? confused:
We stopped in Wrexham on the way back to eat. Christ on a bike, I have NEVER seen so many tarty girls in one place. And they weren't even wearing coats, despite the rain. And police, police vans, amulances and DJd bouncers everywhere for when the inevitable fighting started. What a dump. noooo:

Are you sure it was supposed to be a tadpole Nick??
And as for the 'Organic Vegetarian Coffee' - isn't all coffee vegetarian? There's no meat involved to my knowledge.

I would have thought you "Local" enough to know better.
In conversation with a local bobby I once asked why they didn't do something about the local yoof problems. He replied that most of our problems were not local but as a result of police activity in Rhyl and Prestatyn forcing the yoof to move out to other areas. he asked where I thought they should "Move them onto next" My suggestion of Wrexham was greeted with derisive laughter. "F*** Off" he said "That's where Merseyside move their problems to"
-
Well Wrexham was a shocker. On balance I may have preferred the tree huggers confused:
-
Wrexham is notoriously bad, and I'm sad to say, a bit of an overflow for scousers. whistle:
Didn't they have some fairly serious riots there last year...IIRC?
-
Well Wrexham was a shocker. On balance I may have preferred the tree huggers confused:
Yes I agree it is a terrible place, 'specially on a Saturday night.
Certainly gives Cardiff, Newport and Swansea a run for the title of "The Worst of Wales".
The only difference I can see is that those three are overrun by the worst of Birmingham and Bristol whereas Wrexham is virtually all escapees from Liverpool.
-
Sounds like Slough - a small Polish/Bosnian reservation just outside Heathrow.

Don't be daft lad, We export our worst to Bristol, We send the fighters and keep the spewers. They don't pay when they are going sober and forget about the repatriation charge on the way back when smashed. Or don't come back until a brief How-do-you-do with the Magistrates. The necessary scrub-ups from the domestics keep the place spick and span. I think Swansea just trades problems with Port Talbot on the die.
Birmingham makes a habit of trashing Hereford and Monmouth as they don't want to go too far.

Too Right:
This Is All I Ask
Artist(Band):Frank Sinatra
Writer(s): Jenkins
As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leasure
All the simple pleasure
And so I happily concede
This is all I ask
This is all I need
Beautiful girl, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunset, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange enchanted land
Grownups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true
Before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Then I will stay younger than spring

Dunno if it's that 'at disguising things like, but she don't 'arf look tasty and in her 30's from that piccy. char090

We all tend to look pretty young for our ages. The 30 year-old cousin and I look like we are late teens early twenties in this set of pics. Granny who is 82 looks about 60 so we've done pretty well in the gene pool really.

Funny you should say that whistle: ...from todays paper...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/08/13/npcso113.xml
Two 16-year-olds have been recruited as police community support officers, sparking concerns over public safety and allegations of ?cheap policing?.
The pair, who work for Thames Valley Police, are two years too young to join the main police force but as police community support officers (PCSOs) have the authority to detain and question suspects.
Although too young to watch 18 certificate films or drink in a pub, they have the power to stop and search people under terror laws and issue penalty notices for disorder. scared2:
