I lobed old Stampy, he wasn't your everyday actor, he did some good stuff and some dross but I saw him interviewed a few times and he was a great laugh, he liked to have fun. he will be more remmebered for the rubbish that was Superman ahead of some top quality work.
He won't be alone. Judi Dench, M in Bond films, Ian McKellen will be Gandalf, there are others who have done some great stuff but will be known forever for possibly their worst work. |

Reply | Swansea has its first Reform councillor

She defected from the tories. There should be an election now. These defections shouldn't be allowed without a vote to give or refure her a mandate.
Looking around, Reform are making headway but with very few actual policies but lots of soundbites. They have also made promises in Wales they can never keep.
It's worrying that so many seem certain to vote for them, not because of policies but just because Tory and Labour have been so useless.
The political spectrum is shifting to the right, it's a protest party people are choosing when they go for Farage.
My opinion, if we actually put reform in charge then it will make Boris Johnson look like the best leader this country has ever seen. He'll be Trump's puppet, his shadow like a faithful dog wagging his tail at his beloved master. |

That's exacty what my son is doing, a vocational course in an area that is understaffed. He should always be ok for work.
University is definitely a bad choice for a lot of kids. When Blair spouted "education, education, education" it shouldn't have been all about getting to Uni, it should have been about appropriate courses that would be beneficial to the individual AND the country.
We need more apprenticeships, more vocational courses, we need things that give kids a decent shot at a decent future.
It's not just the education system that needs a rethink, parents need to think too. |

If people were breaking the law singing these things then something would be done. The police do nothing and a LAWYER tells me it is not a criminal offence.
You continually slag off Swansea fans so maybe when you say MY PEOPLE, others will be confused about who you mean.
Now this polite society thing, I don't ever remember a football ground being considered polite society.
Now O asled a lawyer what the law says and he disagrees with you. You're not an expert on the law, are you an expert on anything?
For the record my 16 year old son is not a little moron, his teachers considered him polite and helpful as do our neighbours.
Interesting that after saying MY PEOPLE you then go on to disparage all WALES fans too.
Just who are your people? |

Maybe we just aren't very well supported?
We don't have a divine right to have larger crowds. We only have a 21k stadium where others have built 25 plus, there's possibly reasons for that.
One of those reasons could be a previous owners total failure to take advantage of our EPL status to out a small extension on and get more kids/families in and get them tied to the Swans. |

I have it on good authority from a very good lawyer that the sheep songs do not break the laws.
I've read you talk about a precedent but for a precedent to be set it has to come from a higher court than magistrates or crown court, no such precedent exists.
I don't remember if I responded to the Bristol City thread at all but if the police did nothing it was probably about the safest course of action, if going after the few fans who threw stuff was likely to cause more trouble than they could safely handle, better to contain them than steam in. I've not watched the clip so don't really know. but the grannies carrying on shopping showed they are made of sterner stuff than you. |

I'm not sure an entire generation will be poorer, it depends on their choices.
My son is doing vehicle body repair, even as an apprentice in year 2 he's been told he can earn 18.50 per houron 40 hours, that's 38k per year.
Uni isn't the best choice for a lot of kids, some want it too easy, some are just advised poorly. My boy has listened to his careers teacher and chsen a route he's interested in, cars. He's been told he can earn good money. He'll likely be better off than me or his mum.
It's all about choices, good or bad. |

Reply | Ospreys to move out of the Swansea.com?
at 16:50 17 Aug 2025
I'd bet that capacity can be increase if needs be. The side of the pitch will now be along the rec side rather than the road sode so they could likley put anohter tier on there and maybe put it around the Bryn road end too.
They use the rec ground for parking but it's not far to walk from the city centre (or catch a bus) where there's plenty of parking.
You're problem is you are not looking at the big picture, you are looking through blinkers and don't see the possibilities.
The Ospreys need their own home, their own identity and to be able to make their own decisions about their stadium. |

There have been quite a few rip off policies but this net xero nnsense is the biggest of all.
Forcing us to pay more tax so we can subsidise these renewables compnaies and then we get charged even bigges bills too. We pay twice for something that, in UK terms at least is a complete waste of time until the whole world is doing it.
Our 2023 CO2 emissions were 0.88% of the global total but China's were 32.88% and rising despite their pledges to cut the numbers.
We are being ripped off by self aggrandising, self umportant idiots who are virtue signalling at our expense. |

I had to use a new transit van in work a few weeks back. It was awful whereas Transits used to be very good.
Itbwas awful because of all thse things, the safety features, worse was you could turn them off but had to do it EVERY time you started the engine.
There was a lane change warning, a speed warning, a collision warning. Also, you couldn't adjust the seat height, you had to alter the steering wheel. Seems stupid to me, you should be able to do both.
The "safety warnings" are very distracting though, lits of beeping and things flashing up on the screen, seemed to me turning them off was the safest thing so I just ignored them.
The spped limits thing, I have been a critic and continue to be. I mean, why is the Pontardawe bypass 40 when country lanes that are narrower and bendy still national limit? They are far more dangerous. Come off Birchgrove roundabout into Peniel heading for Skewen and it's 40 but that road, it seems to me, should be 30. Speed limits everywhere need a review because some are crazy slow when others are dangerously fast. The new HOTV sections that some are 50 when it's better than the M4 up there now. It doesn't seem sensible. |

We should never forget what happened but at the same time we cannot punish people forever for what their forefathers did.
That is the road taken by people who say we should make reparations for slavery.
The time always comes to move on. These days should be used to remind ourselves of the horrors people are capable of and to try and remind them to at least try to be better. |

They'll be better off blaming their parents, it's the 25-35's who are mostly in the snowflake camp. They need safe places because words hurt so much, we're not allowed to insult people, it makes them cry.
Besides, most of the damage is being down by the rich and powerful and their political mates. |

Apart from the second paragraph where you actually have a point the rest of it is pure BS.
You've just fallen for the Wrecsam PR guff.
If anyone on this forum is a diva it's you mate. You prance around berating swansea fans and our club while claiming to be a Swansea fan. You have been bigging up Wrecsam so do me a favour, go and join their board, I'm sure they'd welcome you with open arms.
I'm not an Anglo, I'm Welsh and British, this English nonsense you constantly use to deride us on here, it's become like the rist, an obsession.
I heard something quite funny yesterday, it was Forest fan calling a Derby fan a Sheep botherer. In return the Derby fan called them tricky trees whatever that means. Full on banter. Some of us to far too ready to be insulted instead of laughing it off. No wonder Res doesn' go to games, he wouldn't last 10 minutes.

That's just nonsense too though, i'm not in the positive all knowing gang, I say it as I see it and yes the game was poor and all of us who travelled hoped for much better.
The bog difference is we're not all getting ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater after just ONE league game.
We had a rubbish start under Molby and made the play off final, we lost our first away game to Hull the season we got promoted to the EPl didn't we?
One poor game doesn't define the whole season. Gawd, lasyt season people were clamouring to give Sheehan the job full time because he did so well and now some of those people seem ready to sack him after ONE league game.
It's absolutely NOT bizarre to say give it 10 games then see where we are. What are the other choices, sack Sheehan now and then what?
We're still looking to bring 2 players in AND get other players to full fitness. It's bizarre to me that people are already having a meltdown. |

Yates didn't fit here and Sheehan didn't want him or Mykola Kukharevich.
Parker is promising but Lissah and Wilson? Not seen enough of them yet but we have to trust the coaches on them. |
