Small world Phil - what school did you go to and when were you there? By coincidence my first serious long term girl friend came from Skewen - The Highlands - lovely girl she was.
where in NZ are you Kwame? I am in Auckland, Musty so no local A-League team to support!!..we get one Pheonix game up here in a season but I still watch local league stuff and still actually play on Sundays! One of the advantages of living down under is being able to watch every Swans game in full, but obviously would swap that for being able to visit the Liberty!!...the last game I went to was still at the Vetch!!
ah!! thats a shame! if you make it over the ditch again be sure to let me know. I also have some family not too far from Brisbane, Woodridge area. Brisbane seems like a great city!!
it is my friend, let me know if you come over. been to NZ three times, lovely place though prefer the south island (dunedin and queenstown). if i could get a job in queenstown or dunedin would happily live there.
Went to Coed Franc Primary, Rhyd-hir, Neath Tech, finished my schooling in 1972/73! New all the girls in the Highlands, wasn't one of the Stanmore girls was it?..............
I went on a trip to neath once , didnt like it got home sick ! thy world is flat and iff you go over the 7 bridge you`ll fall off the end so stay in doors its safer !!
Born in Neath, grew up in PT. Dad was a wine merchant so learnt all about wine and travelled with my parents a lot around Europe as a kid. Went to Uni age 20, taught in London for 13 years then Herefordshire for 16 before finishing teaching and worked in the local pub. Went to Stratford upon Avon on my day off August 8th 2003 and ran into a New York, Brooklyn girl on holiday, we married 4 years later so here I am in New Jersey and working as a European wine advisor for a big East Coast Company. Been to, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Majorca, Ibiza, Corsica, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Greece, Crete, Corfu, Bulgaria, Italy, Austria, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Madeira, USA, Mexico, Ireland, England, Scotland. Not sure how many times I have been to France and Italy maybe 10-15 times each.
Well I get to go to Lutterworth, Wigan, Coventry, Leighton Buzzard, Tiverton, Cirencester, Tredegar and Tiverton.
NJ - you haven't come up to Canada?! NYC is one of my favourite places - Musty I'll be in touch as I'll be in Brissie next may - maybe we will be able to watch us win the Premiership!! I'm getting jealous of a lot of you and now Neath is on my bucket list - Ritz in Skewen is the closest I've bin
