Hi Everybody nice to see you on here again.
Anyone got any ideas as to what we can chat about on a new topic.???

My Films
Carrie.
Ryan's Daughter.

It is nice to see everyone on here again one thing I don't want to talk about is being on the bar at the Con club in Aberdare lol oh what a night that was BG. I think any chat would be great what we are all doing now quizzes and just try to keep a positive upbeat on here like we used to have I don't know that's my suggestions just nice not to hear politics and craziness in the world we can hear that on the news lol

Hi Welshgirl
What a night that was at the Con Club must be at least 5 years ago now ,do you still have the photos you took that night.LOL Still have not seen them.
Where Exactly is Yuma ,do your sons live in that area ?

Hi Gardengirl
Well something on here is better than nothing ,just hope it will pick up again soon. Maybe its the time of year , good weather so people are out and about or gardening or on holiday .
I look in on several other sites and they all seem to be pretty dead at the moment.

My Films.
Ben Hur.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

glad to see we are back my film ----

Anne of the Indies.

Picked up the paper and noticed it was on ths morning

Barry Island It certainly is not the Barry Island we kne. Such a place the rules were no fair until late afternoon .

No BG i lost them pics when my computer crashed I wish I had them thoughlol. I remember our bus trips to Barry Island and when we could see the sea everyone on the bus started singing for he's a jolly good driver or fellow one of the two lol. Then some time during the day you wold hear from the lost children place a kids name being announced . I wonder sometimes why my mum never just dropped me of thereI must have been her worse nightmare taking off into the sea when I felt like. Now I lost my train of thought for a movie name lol

Welsh Girl - When are you going to Yuma next? We usually go in Nov for 3 mo - perhaps we can meet up, finally. Where do you stay - we take a trailer for one mo in Yuma, then move around.
I like the idea of buying there too, but who will look after the home in the summer? - it's too darn hot there then.
Prices are good tho!

My names - male this time..
Robin Hood
Spartacus
Roby Roy
Arthur
Saving Private Ryan

Perhpas it might be an idea to rename the current "Local Government" sub forum to "Politics & Local Government", and have the forum admins actually do their job and move political threads to that forum so as to not clog up the general discussion forum with political crap???

My Music - www.leonlive.co.uk

Forgot to add a film title- Bridget Jones's Diary

FIVE SHILLINGS for the day,you were lucky.
Back in the early 50's I was lucky to get half a crown for a whole week.
I remember when I was 16 and got my first job I earned £3 a week ,I thought I was really rich then .

My Films
Alfie.
Lawrence of Arabia.

Street outing were around too, some one would organize a bus Either on an Easter or August bank holiday,we always sang on those bus trips on the way there and home, Our buckets were kept for bus sickness(no polythene carrier bags then)and sure as hek there would be an arguement who was taking the front seat lol and the teenagers always sat at the back.

Also the Chapels had outings (not to Barry though) I cant remember our church sunday school doing this though

Train for me was either an excursion which would be advertized on a bill board outside the little halt in our village where my father past when walking home from work, us kids also saw them and prayed there would be no overtime for my father that weekend (he would not miss a shift)

It amazes now to think men worked long hours, came home, dug and tended a garden to suply the veg. cut firewood for a week and still had the energy to play with us kids and organise outings. I supose todays men do the same but with labour saving devices and the kids into computors it must be easier. Not forgetting the women who worked hard at the home, but I think men made the decisions, even though the women plotted FIRST them and let them think it was thier desision lol

I can remember a pub at the lower end of Miskin, but the dementia has set in and taken it's name. The speciality act was a fella who could sing the whole of "Danny Boy" with a tobacco tin, longways, in his mouth.As an encore he would give a rendition of the album version of "The Rose of Trallee" this time with thirteen dominoes in his mouth. When he took a breath his shoulders would go up to his ears. The favourite sport was football in the bar, with a pint pot as the ball, and no rules.
Dementia's gone, it was the Park Hotel.
Apollo will recall that they sold a special brew called "Exhibition Cider", so named because after a pint and a half you made an exhibition of yourself.I seem to remember that he only made it as far as 'Ceiber clock.

Name of a film = Godzilla,(my Mother-in-Law played the lead part in it).

On a Friday night, bystanders would gather outside the Park Hotel to witness the Cider drinkers leaving down Ceiber Road and would follow at a safe distance. As the cider worked through the system, so the pace would pick and by Shuman's sweet shop they would be walking at double time setting a buttock-clenching pace. This would increase to a slow run by the time they reached Baker's the Ironmongers and with the knowledge there was only one cubicle in the conveniences at Ceiber Clock, by the time they had reached the British Legion there would be a final 100 yards dash by both drinkers and spectators. And that is really how the idea for the Nos Galan Races first started !!!!!!

Another great for Britain
