But you seem to have assumed Boundy that they haven't taken scientific advice.
Why ? |

Yes. And it went off with no problem contrary to what people might expect. |

Yes it was mostly three chords.
Reminds me of playing the Penlan Social Club some time in the 70's. There was a bloke right at the front reading the Evening Post. Couldn't see his face, just the paper. As soon as we hit the first couple of chords he put the paper down and said loud enough even for us to hear 'not f*****g Proud Mary again'.
Happy days. |

Whether playing more upfield or further back he does see a pass quickly. He may well not be a first choice this season with the new players coming in but will be well worth his place on the bench. |

As I said in the OP, people always complain that everything goes to Cardiff. Which it does most of the time. But when something good actually comes to Swansea they complain about that as well.
As far as i'm concerned I fully expect and hope that a substantial amount of public money IS ploughed into the project along with private money.
Well done Mr Sheen and thank you for putting your OWN money into this project. |

It's only been seven weeks since he was elected so you have to wonder why he was okay to run for election on the 1st May but not okay to carry on now. Although, trying to be fair, it is possible for someone's health to deteriorate quickly. On the other hand he's still well enough to carry on as a councillor.
But you have to ask, what sort of a party would elect an 18 year old as the Deputy Council Leader. |

A completely different argument against raising the limit to 70, at least through the PT part, is that the motorway does not meet current motorway quality. It's barely dual carriageway standard.
Whatever about air quality I wouldn't consider 70 on that part of the road safe. Think about the last PT junction heading west. The run in for traffic merging is horrendously short and bad enough if you're doing 50. |

Actually Martyn i'd imagine most people on this site would know Llandeilo pretty well. It's a lovely place and we visit it a few times a year.
The point I was making about traffic wasn't about locals or others like us visiting, it was about all the traffic that HAS to pass through Llandeilo on the way from West Wales toward Llandovery/Brecon etc. The road through the town is so narrow and to see large lorries squeezing through there is ridiculous. They would all use a bypass if there was one and the reduction in emissions would be substantial
You're right about nothing getting done. I don't get the point that is often made that new roads create more traffic. To me it would be the same traffic just using the new road for efficiency. |

'Um, if its a new road then the very first car to use it increases emissions because there was no cars on that road before you built it'.
'Again, the very first car to use it would increase the number of cars on the road'.
If they were to build a bypass for Llandeilo for example the first car to use the bypass would not be an extra car on the road, it would be just a car that is using the new road instead of the old one. The difference would be that they would be doing an uninterrupted 40/50 mph on the new road instead of crawling in 1st/2nd/3rd through Llandeilo creating far more emissions than when using the bypass. |

Just in the middle of watching a DragonSports review of the Swans re the upcoming season (very positive) and he mentioned Sonny Cary of Blackpool as the type of player that may suit us. Bearing in mind they appear to be keen on having Jerry Yates back there could be a swap deal of some sort arranged.
What do the rest of you think about Cary ? I'm not familiar at all. |

Taken from 888sport.com -
****************
1) Swansea City
Winners of the League Cup in 2013, Swansea City are the biggest football club in Wales at the time of writing.
Despite their success and recent stint in the Premier League, Swansea are not the best-supported team in Wales (that honour goes to Liverpool).
Swansea’s attendance is a few thousand behind Cardiff’s average in the last couple of seasons, but the Swans have been by far the stronger club in the 21st century.
They featured in Premier League predictions for seven straight seasons, including a Europa League appearance and two trips to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
In that time, they wrote their own chapter in the Premier League history books through Michu’s phenomenal debut season, Brendan Rodgers’ successful spell, and the appointment of footballing royalty in Michael Laudrup.
Even since their relegation, Swansea have had the upper hand over Cardiff with a pair of top six finishes in the Championship.

I can't remember when I felt so good about the coming season. And it'll get even better as the rest of the signings happen  |

Actually, believe it or not, my original post was meant to be constructive (with a little cynisism thrown in I have to admit).
Even Labour and the Conservatives, when they produce a manifesto, say how they will do what they promise. Whether they actually do what they promised after they are elected is another question.
Many forum members have said they are going to vote Reform or are at least thinking about it. But there surely has to be some logic behind it.
If you were to say i'm going to vote for them because I believe they're right to say they are going to do this and this and this then surely you must wonder how they are going to do it.
The £20,000 tax threshold costing £50 billion. Reform are against higher taxes and/or borrowing so that means cuts in spending. So another £50 billion in cuts - where ?
That's not knocking Reform, it's a reasonable question. |

Fair comment cat. It does seem incredibly odd that people who would die before voting Tory would say they are going to vote Reform who are even more right wing.
I just thought there may be some potential Reform voters out there who may provide some kind of answer as to how they believe Reform could achieve what they are promising because sure as hell the Reform politicians aren't.
At the same time it does no harm to have these conversations regularly which highlight how ridiculous are the promises they are making. |

Reply | Swans completing their research which could lead to interest in ex striker
at 12:48 18 Jun 2025
Just an idea Richard. Earlier you said this -
'Would have O'Brien back if possible as for a striker I would like to see a striker who can make a nuisance of himself and cause centrehalves problems both aerially and on the floor, if defenders are under pressure they will make mistakes. We have some interesting signings and need someone to compliment them and one that they can feed off so we get more goals throughout the team.'
He absolutely does cause centre halves problems as he's aggressive and very good in the air. And he may not be a PL quality player but to call him a cart horse as JON does is totally wide of the mark imo. |
