Blog 11
Hmmm....decided to write the next blog....got as far as this.... then......
Reading the newspaper this morning I was amazed to read that John Terry the Chelsea player who was sent off in the last Chelsea v Barcelona game is to be allowed to lift the cup if Chelsea win. Unbelievable that despite the racism case looming over him and being sent off for kneeing a Barcelona player in the back, the message that is being portrayed here is, no matter what you do wrong you will be rewarded for it. Not only....in my opinion....should he not be allowed to raise the cup, he shouldn't be allowed into the match and he should be stripped of his captaincy for not only this misdemeanour, but for all his antics which give football a bad name. You know that I'm not the world's biggest football fan.... in fact I can't stand the game....but even I know that, like it or not, these people are placed on the world's stage and and should set an example.....
Still ranting at sporting atrocities, the news that Dwaine Chambers has had his Olympic lifelong ban lifted!!!! He was caught as a drug cheat, using performance enhancing drugs and banned for life from competing in the Olympics. Surely a life ban should be just that? Once again a poor example shown to our youngsters. Forget putting in all that hard work and dedication. Forget the pride in representing your club and country honestly. Go ahead and cheat your way to the top and take away the honour from normal athletes! I know that I've opened a can of worms with this :o) I have had one or two opinions, good valid arguments. A couple of people agree with me, one agreed and disagreed, at the same time, and quite a few had the same opinion, in that he has now paid for his 'mistake' and should be allowed to get on with his life, including taking part in the Olympics. Hmm. Anyway what do the rest of you think? Please add your comments and share with everyone :o)
What's the weather like where you are? It has been raining here for two days non stop. Ok it's not torrential like some parts of the country, but it's still wet, lol :o)
I had to delete a friend off facebook yesterday. It's so sad in a way and I never realised he had become the person he is today :o(. I'll keep it for the next blog....don't want more ranting on this one lol :o)
Oooh.... shhhh....don't look now but the sun has come out to play :o) Isn't the weather fascinating? It's amazing how it can change so suddenly and so often. Talk about keeping us on our toes :o)
To think at the beginning I didn't have anything to say....lol
Been talking about childhood holidays today. We used to spend our summer holidays at my nain's in Criccieth. We often spent most days down at the beach. Nain used to make us jam sandwiches with a bottle of pop and strict instructions to be home for tea and if we were to drown not to come running to her!!!! lol :o)
In those days children could roam in relative safety. Many free ice creams from Mr Cadwalader and the odd free bag of sweets from Mrs Mansell. Days spent at the castle in our own private games. Walking along Lon Bach to Cae Swings, or to the allotments. One year we discovered a lucrative business at the golf course. The owner/manager or whatever he was would pay for lost golf balls handed in....yep you guessed it....my brother, sister, me and the owner's granddaughter....unbelievable I know lol....surprisingly found a great deal of golf balls that seemed to go missing round about the part of the course that ran alongside the hedge. Designed to allow a bit of privacy I suspect, but ideal for kids to hide under to grab any golf balls that came our way :o)
Does anyone remember when the Corona man came round selling pop? If memory serves me right....that's a bit of a gamble....if you gave him back the bottle with the lid you got your next one cheaper. And who can honestly say that they never got excited when you heard the musical chimes of the ice cream van coming down the street :o)
Good memories :o)
I could write a book about childhood memories couldn't I.... hmmm....
Ok that's your lot for now :o)
Stay safe and happy :o) xxx
