Not sure what you have got in there then Norm, but I've got a pair of bollocks. <ok>:emoticon-0105-wink:

I'm usually at home, don't need to work any more, but do play at lot. Glorious weather down here on the Porthcawl Riviera.

Took the dogs down across Newton Burrows sand dunes onto the beach (about 300 yards from the house) for a couple of hours yesterday and again this morning - bloody marvellous....... then I come back and talk to you lot - life couldn't be better......<laugh> <ok>

Did get the reference Norm, but I couldn't resist the opportunity. :emoticon-0105-wink:

For what its worth and despite only putting up the avatar because of my profession, Ron and Russell were part of my growing up experience - unfortunatley, I haven't grown up yet.

Joking aside but lets see how Swansea got to the Premier Leage shall we if my memory serves me Hugh Jenkyns did a fantastic bit of self marketing with Swansea council and the millenium Commision. He sold the Vetch for a lump of cashh to developers and then got the new stadium built for almost nothing. He then had cash to spend on players and managers.....in effect the taxpayer subsidised the club which didnt happen to Cardiff otherwise they would have been at the Millenium Stadium.

Hey Doc - don't want to be pedantic mate, but not sure that's right about the Vetch. Huw Jenkins didn't sell the land for a load of dosh to developers - Swansea City Council own the Vetch and built the Liberty Stadium to replace it (which they still own) for the Ospreys and Swans to share as tenants.

That is still the case despite the Yanks making noises when they took over a couple of years ago about buying The Liberty and developing it - that all changed when they got relegated last season. Far from being a saviour, which in some respects he certainly was, Jenkins is now villified by the fans down there for selling them down the river and trousering a load of dosh in the process.

They'll probably survive whilst they continue to receive their parachute payments, but they've gone bust twice already and a 3rd time is by no means out of the question. You could also say the same about us a few years back (although it would only be the first time - we haven't been there yet), but a certain Mr. Tan stepped in and it didn't happen and wont whilst he's still around. <ok>

You mean he really is dead? <yikes>

It could have been Ray Milland I was thinking about, but I suppose he's gone now too.

BTW, did you know Ray Milland was from Neath and took his name from a local area? (that's the Milland bit, not Ray <laugh>)

Probably his most famous roles, were as the bad guy in the Hitchock film starring opposite Grace Kelly "Dial M For Murder", starring in the really really bad early 1970's horror movie "Frogs", two guest murderer roles in Columbo episodes and also a guest role in the original Battlestar Galatica.

He was the typical 1940's/50's Brit that Hollywood thought everyone was like over here :)
 
Anyway guys, I need to gather myself for my 20 mile trip to the shrine tonight, and I can only wish you all the best in your game at QPR.

Ourselves to win for obvious reasons and hopefully stay up here to greet you next season, but can you do it?

Which do you think the more likely - us to stay up or you to get up here? Tonight could have a huge influence on the destiny for both of us. <ok>
