Following the Welsh cup final with merthyr I had the misfortune of being stuck in my student car in the middle of county's train lot on the way back to cardiff Central
Hundreds of them , and we were jammed in
I was so glad when several hundred cardiff fans who probably hadn't even been to the game came up under the railway bridge to have a chat
A space opened up and I put my foot on the gas
And, your point is?
Big headed bugger letting everyone know he had a car when he was a student, posh f*cker:hehe:Quote:

Small engine , shocking body work , no tax disc , etcQuote:

I've never been able to get my head around Newport. There it is, a City of 145,000 just 10 miles away, but apart from work I've never had any need or desire to go there. It's as if it doesn't really exist - a bit like Brigadoon..
I worked in Newport for about twelve years, when our Cardiff department closed and we amalgamated with a sister company there. About 25 of us from Cardiff made the move. Most of the Newport lads I worked with were really friendly, we had a fair bit of lighthearted banter between us but it was all good.
We also had some decent nights out there with no trouble. I did feel, however, that generally, they had more simple life expectations and goals, they just seemed to lack a bit of drive and ambition.

The Mission were destroyed by second incarnation of the Sisters Of Mercy. They were lightweight. And Wayne Hussey was exposed.Quote:
