It is becoming a bit 1984 around here. Such a shame.

Well done the other ccfc
When I was working over at Yate, and being away early in the morning, I was listening to Mal Pope each day, I thought
he was a very good Radio Geezer, enjoyed his show.
Re: Swansea in the running for City of Culture
Yate. The place with the most people with the least culture. Conceived in Spirals nightclub toilets Unlike the toffs up the road in chipping sodbury who were conceived in The Squire Pub toilets after the mop annual high street fair.

It should come as no surprise that I fell asleep in that little courtyard where you can smoke fags and was asked to leave. Had paid at the bar for my steak pie n chips so didn't get a free meal. Gutted.
Re: Swansea in the running for City of Culture
Swansea should take is a compliment that the judges actually deemed that Coventry was more needy than they are.
The whole competition seems desperate to me.
Swansea may we'll have lost as they were planning a Bonnie Tyler concert on the beach if they won.
I kid ye not

I saw the promo clip where Bonnie Tyler was trying to convince the judges that Swansea was full of creativity... A woman that sang Total Eclipse Of The Heart on a cruise ship during a solar eclipse this year!!
She wouldn’t know creativity if it punched her in the face (which, obviously I hope it does).
What a shambles Swansea is! :hehe:
Re: Swansea in the running for City of Culture
John Hartson on the radio earlier saying that Richard Burton. Anthony Hopkins n Michael Sheen were from there. Though they were Port Tablet. If he's pulling that one then he has to own up to Keith Allen as well. Same Rules.

So run down and so widespread the decay.
I was in Swansea recently for a debating competition and I couldn't believe how run down it was

Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins are from Port Talbot, Sheen was born in Newport but moved there.
If they're claiming that lot do we get to claim the Manics, Aneurin Bevan, Tom Jones and Tommy Cooper? Where do we draw the line?

They can keep Michael Sheen if we can have Tommy Cooper.

Re: Swansea in the running for City of Culture
I have just had a Yogurt with more culture in it than Swansea.
