A few of you may remeber I passed my driving test a few weeks ago. I now have my very own car. It's a navy blue peugeout 106. I am having great difficulty parking it though. Where I live there is a great shortage of space, it's very fun trying to park a car with a shoddy turning circle in a tiny gap on a bend on a 45 degree incline. Bloody vallys. I have discovered I simply cannot navigate whilst driving at all- I literally used 1/4 of a tank of fuel getting from the UCI to Ponty due to all the wrong turnings (about 15 miles if I'd not got lost). |

Hi Diastole1! |

....and also a great of difficulty when it comes to dealing with pedestrians when they cross in front of you! How many have you chalked up on the scoreboard now Ceri? ;) Teasing you! |

When you say 'Red Hot Car' ..... you make it sound like it's stolen... (I know it isn't, and that its not even red.....I'm just picking holes in your grammar - I'm proof reading some word documents at the moment!) |

"My Red Hot Car" is a track by squarepusher. My car is blue and on a scale of freezing to red hot in terms of coolness weighs in around frigidly cold. |

I almost went the wrong way down a 50 mph road near the Trefforest industrial estate last night - I was only stopped by quick reversing (onto a roundabout!) when an oncoming car was flashing their lights. Oh and I nearly hit an old woman on Saturday afternoon. |

ha i wanted my brother to hit this guy on a moped just because he was riding a moped |

Sorry to go off topic here but thanx for that disc Ceri.... its fan-fucking-tastic, esp. Arched Maid via RDJ. Aaaaaanyway... Ive said my bit. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I can understand that. In mine and Jedi Chris' town you get lots of "bad boy" teenagers aged about 16 who have mopeds. They're crap, the 2 stroke engines make such a shitty high pitched whiney noise- much like the voices of the riders ;) |

They kinda remind me of bikes with a Flymo engine. Nyyyyeeeeeeeeehhhh.... Soz Im a little wasted today. |

I've got a 1980 Mercedes Benz 230E... exactly like the one they have in that Del Monte advert...makes me feel like Kraftwerk when we're out and about in it FUn FUn on the AUTOBAHN... Got it for free as well; went around the parents and they said "would you like this car, we're not using it anymore" and Im like "fuck me!!!...yes yes yes".... One downside...I can't drive...but my girlf is well happy with it & I don't mind being a prefessional passenger..... |

I do worry about you Ceri..... ;) You didn't tell everyone that you almost fell asleep at the wheel listening to music either did you!! :) The more and more you drive Ceri, the better at it you'll become! Being hypocritical, that being said, I've occassionally driven up sections of 'High St' the wrong way - and you just gotta think to yourself "I'm in this situation now ....and just out of it in the safest possible way, and quickly!! Seriouslly people, don't get the wrong idea about Ceri's driving, I've experienced his driving, and he's an excellent driver! |

"Oh and I nearly hit an old woman on Saturday afternoon. "... Try a bit harder next time..it's not very tricky as they can't run very fast....:).. |

100 points if you hit the old lady... an extra 50 if the zimmer frame is still in one piece. |

Silly mare really suddenly almost sidestepped onto a crossing (it didn't look like she was intending to cross till the second before she stepped out). I threw the brakes on, but only got the speed down to about 15mph. By which time I was half way across the crossing so I just carried on. The same day I was stuck behind a lexus that a) Didn't have working brakelights. b) "Stopped on a dime" As the brakes on my car are crap I nearly went into the back of it about 4 times. I was paranoid that if rear ended him I couldn't prove the break lights hadn't been working before. Also on the same day a bus began indicating once I was already along side it and then proceeded to pull out "through" where my car was, forcing me into the lane of oncoming traffic. |

Its all a learning curve....as I told you, your driving lessons were only to get you through a test. Now that you have a licence, only now do you learn to drive! |
||||||||

I've got my pass plus lessons on wednesday. I expect he'll be suprised how much motorway driving I've done now! |

Fuck, when I get home I'll watch out for you Ceri (aka Maureen) you mad bastard. I ride one of 'em scooters bra. Don't 'dis me or I'll knock you out bra. |

About a year ago there were 2 garages in on Broad Street alone that specialised in scooters. Jonesy, let me know when you come back to Barry, we'll have to meet up and go to The Dolphin or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ROFL.....The Dolphin! :) |
||||||||
|
|

I know, have you seen the new Bostons? It's called some weird unpronouncable acronym. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the sound of this Barry place... I bet it's as crap as Chelsmford or Braintree, ain't it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its probably called Boston's still but in welsh!! Ha Ha Ha ! ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where's the Dolphin guys? The Savoy is where all the former Bostons crowd go now isn't it? I occassionally used to go to Bostons because my mates wouldn't go into town. Its the worst. That shit DJ playing the same bastard songs every week. You could tell what time it was by the song being played. There was this guy there who was about 50 and looked like Geoff from Byker Grove who was always there. And Basset Boys going round saying "got any Rizla bra?" I'd be up for a Barry real life meeting/drinky-poos if anyone is up for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

The Dolphin is part of Ken Roger's legacy, it's a nightclub in part of the Barry ISland funfair complex. The powerstation closed down (old Barry hotel) so all the badboys from there go to Bostons so that's crap now. I've never been to the Savoy, I go to the Rom which has been under new management for about 3 years (it's owned by the guy who used to own bostons when it was the friars) and it's no longer a drug den. |

Barry has a drug den?...what do they do, snort leeks and shootup Sheep shit?.. (excuse my welsh stereotypes...I'm from Essex and so have a big chip on my shoulder...good job I'm not old or some fucker would probably mug me for it..)... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Is KR's still there? I remember the other summer they had Bernard Manning down there. A meal and a night of bigoted comedy for under a tenner! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it is. Jand: Barry has quite a bad drug problem in some areas. I used to work on the council, we used to find needles in the grass and burnt tin foil in bins in public parks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although not as bad as some other places around the UK! *before Ceri paints a grizzly picture of this town* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Doesn;t surpise me...pretty much the same evrywhere...wish they'd just give out heroin with your dole money; that would save everyone a lot of needless running about really..;)... Having the time to do gear is the best thing about being unemployed...work just gets in the way... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A kid from our school died after ODing on heroin. Barry isn't as bad as its reputation, it jut has some areas you have to avoid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jonesy, has Ceri told you he went to the 'god' awefull Bischop of Llandaff School? Talk about hypocrisy....what with it being a religous school. Worse than that quagmire of a school you went to in Argae Lane!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah like; the Basset, Gibbonstown, Cadoxton, Barry Island, the town centre, Palmerston... erm, where can you go again? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was really funny, because ours was a church school everyone assumed we were all pussies. We used to whup the other schools in fights and at interschool events it was always kids from our school getting in trouble. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A kid was supposed to of put a pencil up his nose and a smacked his head down onto the desk during a exam in the school I went to. Just 'cos he couldn't take the pressure of exams.... I know this tale is not drug related...I wanted to simply shock you! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I heard that. Is it true? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You all are - lets not sugar coat this! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have a friend who lives across the road from me, who's parents sent him the your school Jonesy, because they didn't want him to get the shitted kicked out of him at Barry Comp. (He was that kinda kid!!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...he wasnt even catholic or religous - it takes the piss! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whoops! They sent him to the wrong school. Barry Boys thugs used to come down to beat us up. What was his name? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought the Collins' all went to Barry Boys? ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll tell you later in an email... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NAhhh..not them Ceri! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That Pencil up nose story is scary... Wish I'd seen that...Did he die or just get brain damage (or couldnt they tell?..)... And sad to hear about the kid ODing...he shouldn't have been such a greedy fucking junkie really tho.....it's a piece of piss, it's always the kids who OD; you really seldom get a long term junkie ODing... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Did you go to school with the Smiths'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
All these prim and prissy religious schools . . . tut tut! Even the kids who were hated in school....were even protected to a certain degree by saying they went to Barry Comp. I remember the glory days when our school used to go around the authority slaying all the other kids. And when the two schools of Barry Boys and Bryn HAfren joined forces....boy they were an unstoppable force!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't recall Jand....schoolkids tend to blow things out of proportion anyways....but so the story goes - yes! |
