    As we have fans on here from all over the world, Aus, London, Norway, Town hill.

    Would just like to know why you ended up where you are.

    I was born and bread Sketty Park. But, at the age of 18 moved to london to join the Met. needed work. I spent yeayrs away from my beloved swansea and wasnt able to watch any games unless they were near yhe capital. I returned to swansea in 1994 and instantly became a season ticket holder again and have never looked back.

    I had many interesting times policing Chelsea in the 80's as you can imagine with many tales to tell.

    So come on tell me how did you end up where you are now?

    Moved to the south coast in 2000. Never thought I'd leave my beloved Swansea, but a job offer came along that I couldn't turn down, and been here ever since.

    Well I'm a Technical Director for a Swimming Pool distribution company. Head office is in Barcelona where most of our factories are. I do tend to spend more time in London at the moment, I do mostly high end projects, and have all headaches that go with them.

    I wish, love to travel and would love to live away( in the summer of course). it is great to travel and i think it just makes you a better person. that just sounds sad.

    I like the travelling at times and great to take in different cultures, but I can be a pain at times. My mate works for our sister company, and he's in Export, and nearly away every week. He's now glad to have a break from travelling for the next month.

    I'm from around Swansea, travelled extensively out of the uk, worked hard and played hard. Worked up in England in a few places. Came back to sunny Swansea land some years ago, got a season ticket when we moved to the liberty and have had one ever since.

    Went to the vetch and had a season ticket there on and off, but mostly only went occasionally as I was away. When I was a kid my mates and I used to jump on the bus on a Saturday go into town for a laugh then went to watch the swans play, enjoyed that, wouldn't dream in letting my kids do that now.

    Isn't it sad that kids don't seem to have the freedom we had because of the crap in the world now?

    I was born in the village of Skewen, Nr Neath, married a cracker of a girl from Derwen Fawr, and had always loved the Gower coast, and moved there some considerable time back, my kids have loved every minute of growing up on the Gower, as much as they have loved their Schooling at Pontybrennin, and Ysgol Gwyr. Semi retired now, but travelled extensively with wife and friends, mostly backpacking, and blazing the trails before Thompsons and the maddening crowd got there and spoilt it all. My favourite place on earth, is the Greek Islands, love the culture, people and the Aegean sea, and I envy one Jack on here, who goes by the name of 'Pete from Crete'..................<cheers>

    That is so true Jager, I remember as a 10 year old going on a cycle ride from Skewen to Mumbles and back with my mates, but we would never let our kids these days do that, it's why I encouraged my two, to get into sport!.............<ok>

    All I'm willing to say about me is,

    Two interesting facts

    1) My knob is the same length as 2 Argos pens.

    2) I'm banned from Argos.

    I tell you now, I'm not one for airs and graces, I've married into middle England, but they could not conquer me! I will always be with my grass roots fellow man, I'm not one for class distinction, I'll leave that to the Tory Burks!.................<cheers>
