Spotted in The Chronicle

Not much happening in Penyffordd. Children's school holidays nearly at an end. They appeared to last an age when I was young. No longer, they're over in the blink of an eye.

As to the Chronicle.

" Raven 23 year old naughty red haired vixen. Immaculate figure, desecration assured. "

This sounds like an offer too good to miss.

It's in this week's Flintshire Chronicle. If you want to be desecrated, email me before it goes in the bin Tuesday I'll give the number.

I usually rummage through the classifieds. As a life long horder you never know what's around.
We once picked up the contents of a Wrexham Secondhand Bookshop for free.
Took three weekends to move the stock.

A further thought on the previous blog. When are our leaders going to realise there are vast amounts of information out there on the net?

Their lies make them look awfully silly.

What a couple of clowns

As a rule I stay clear of commenting on national subjects.
The clowns Cameron and Hague draw me to comment.
We've helped to make big messes of Iraq ( 70 killed today ) and Afghanistan.
The clowns are gagging to get stuck into Syria
( friends of China and Russia ).

With USA being the main man of course.

Us hiding behind the world's bully.

World War III scenario is in the mix
postscript addition http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-08-28/22-reasons-why-starting-world-war-3-middle-east-really-bad-idea

You never see this haste over the NHS, immigrants, the economy, banksters, old folks homes, etc.

They make me sick.

I'm angry that they think they can just ignore Parliament and the UN.

I'm currently ashamed to be British.

Castell Alun Full Up !

Chairman of Flintshire Council, Carolyn Thomas, says the council’s planning and education departments are running the risk creating “fractured communities” by approving extensive housing projects but failing to expand schools.

A total of 400 new homes are being built in Penyffordd, near Mold, but there are fears that secondary schools in the area do not have the room to accommodate the expected influx of children.

Primary school children from Dobshill, who usually go on to attend Castell Alun High School in Hope, have been told they will be going to Hawarden High School from September.

Cllrs Carolyn Thomas and Cindy Hinds making the waves that need to be made.

Political Grouping Flintshire County Council - Cllr David Williams

This may be old news but I was unaware that Cllr David Williams was a member of the New Independents. A political group formed by Cllr Patrick Heesom. I see the FCC pin up girl the fragrant Cllr Carolyn Thomas is Deputy Leader of the group.

The sign deadly amusing. ( the bottom line )

Our dog which is a bull terrier would like to do nothing better than to chase cattle around a field. Bullocks always seem up for it. Most probably kill the dog though.

We don't go with the dog in fields full of cattle full stop. Been there, done that, got the tea shirt.

It's a very bad idea people get killed ( inc farmers)  in UK every year with incidents involving cattle. Mothers with calves one of the worst potential scenarios.

JJ Cale RIP



I'm told he has gone. He wrote some of King Eric's more memorable hits Cocaine and After Midnight.
