no blue skies over here dude…..pretty much the same weather you left behind and no doubt what you’ll come back to……make the most of it :emoticon-0148-yes:
I've chilled a bit now, certainly not doing it again but I'm having a beer, reading my book and just chilling. Got a good looking restaurant booked for tonight.

We did the Maldives a few times but we were divers then, wouldn't go back now, this as a bit more going for it, quite hotel and beach, plenty to do a short taxi ride away. No YMCA thankfully.
Lot of setting up going on around the pools atm, so could be some trashy new years music later I suspect

mumbles is full of weather pensioner’s who live there in the day…..the nights get students from Swansea university

Swansea city it’s self is full and I mean full of smack head chavs with missing legs or missing a brain though <laugh>…….they blame Cardiff City for that though <laugh>

Is it **** man, that's now the posh place. Very.

If you're talking when the Swansea Cork ferry was about, then so was the 'Mumbles mile', which was essentially a piss up run along all the pubs on the front. Students and stag do's etc.

Most of those pubs are now gone.

It's all tap rooms, restaurants and coffee shops now.
And boutique shops selling silly women's stuff.

It does have a Greggs but the Costa was driven out of the 'village' (as the locals call it)!

When was the last time you were even there?

Students don't go there, they go to Uplands or town.

There's only about three pubs left.

Superb place that, Neptune's nightclub above.

That has long since been a restaurant.

New owners this year, and they've somehow manged to **** it up! Trying to turn it into a wedding venue.

probably about two years ago…. In the day rather than the night though…..my lad likes his fishing so would have to have a few joints on the pier and watch him try catch something other than a cold

sad if that’s true there’s only two pubs left but at the same time I’m glad the pissheads are not attracted…….bouncers back in the day wouldn’t leave you in the pubs or nights club if you was from aberdare cos we do like a punch up so would have to pretend to be jack twats

Thinking back it was mid late 90's so a good chance it has changed <eek>
