I can report that Fester and I represented the Three Towns Forum in the Kings Head pub quiz this evening and came fourth. The shame! $smack$
I don't know the quizmaster, a middle aged guy with glasses is all I can tell you. But I can say that we had all the right answers and he had the wrong questions! ZXZHis name was Jonathon and I'm very sorry to say he will be asking no more questions at the Kings Head Quiz. We don't know why, but after completing last Wednesdays Quiz, he went home to Deganwy and took his own life. I will not speculate on what made him do such a terrible thing, but know he will be sadly missed by a lot of people who knew him. If you would like to say Goodbye to Jonathon come to the Kings Head at 9pm on Wednesday 24th November. Needless to say there won't be a Quiz, just a chance to remember a really nice man.

I have taken the liberty of copying your post into the Obits section, I hope you don't mind:
Not backward at coming forward in business, our Indian friends.
Bellringer---I love your new badge. Its really great. Mike
Does anyone think we should have a Forum Christmas meet up? Maybe curry club or a few beers in the King's Head?Not a bad idea, Paddy, I like the idea of a Kings Head meetup. Anyone else interested? Any suggestions for a day/date/time?
Normally a good night for me... but too close to Xmas, I will be most likely be visiting family... ZXZ Z**
Re: Three Towns Christmas meetup - this Thursday, 9th December, at 7pm in the Kings Head, Llandudno.
I think you will find that most, if not all, access points to Wikileaks have now been blocked. ¢¢##ah ha that'll be why then. Thanks
I wonder if Trojan will be coming home? I know he wouldn't miss out on such an occasion, he suggested this very thing on his last visit. Z** Z** Z**
Assange is a dangerous nutcase, in my view.
the inference is that it is being stolen to be put on some privately owned pathway. Well--so what. If someone falls and breaks a leg, the medical expense is just the same whether it be on public highway or private path
I think I saw stars.
Still felt bl....y heavy when it hit me though!
I've been bitten by the flu bugYou have my sympathies, Mike, I've had it too. Fester will confirm I've been a pale shadow of my normal self! :(

Have I missed a couple of months? And is it really the First Day of April?
The answer to both must be, "Yes!" As it must be a joke when they are to spend £345,000 on putting a PA system in Pen y Clip Tunnel. Is it to play soft music to all those motorists stuck in the usual Summer traffic hold ups? From the report it seems as though it will be one of those white elephants that will be used once in a lifetime to warn motorists of emergencies ahead. No doubt the volume will have to be set at well above normally acceptable levels to have any chance of being heard above the traffic.
The Financial Crisis must be of no concern to those who decide to carry out such works and yet another waste of taxpayers money.

What about a roller blind or two from Hillarys Blinds? _))*
If that concerns you, Yorkie, you need to have a look as to what has been going on inside our local swimming pool.
They are putting a black tint in the external glass to stop the sun getting in the eyes of the swimmers.
If that is not the reason for the expensive tinting then I apologise.
Could be to stop people peering in. :D

It's the TV repeater transmitter above Gyffin which gives most of this area their signal.))* well its still a blot on the landscape.
Like Jackiecj, I was charged with the job of looking after the Green Shield stamps, I seem to recall that Tesco gave them out as well, my Mum used to go to the one in Rhos On Sea a lot (now the Spar). We used to go over to Rhyl where there was a large Green Shield Stamps catalogue shop for getting the goodies.
One thing I didn't know was that when Green Shield Stamps shut down, all their catalogue shops kept going under a new name...Argos!
Am I imagining this or did Green Shield stamps change so that there was one stamp put in place to replace having to stick in a whole page full?Yes, in later years, I think there was 1 stamp for every 10 of the old ones.

Just been having a 'peruse' of Dave's photos on his Flickr site.Very kind of you to say so, Stan. The angels are very photogenic, it has to be said!
I am getting a bit worried about you Dave. You seem to be spending a lot of time with those angels in St Tudno's!!
Lovely pictures though. $thanx$
In the '50s the pharmacists used to sell glass rechargeable syphons for 1/-, with a 2 bob deposit. We had one at Christmas.
Stan, £18.54 worth of brandy means you have actually spilled about £15.00 of taxation.
Come to think of it, thats no consolation at all is it? Z**
no, but I did like the sweet cigarettes D)I used to like them too. Them and Sherbert Dips. ;D
They sell big bags of those sweet cigarettes in vollams. My favourites. I used to buythem all the time when i worked in the club. Ooh and them sherbet flying saucers. :D
Does anybody remember the cabbage leaf cigarettes you used to be able to buy from Finefare (I think)
found this lovely old card today, looks familiar somehow!

Just doing what every other person on this Forum does, expressing an opinion.
So far on this Forum we have not had one person insulting another
Welcome to the forum Roumanian, don't worry about the effect Yorkie's posts have on other forum members, I've always found them interesting and have never felt insulted by anything he has said, and I'm sure others feel the same $good$
Roumanian...Fester
Welcome to the Forum,...BUT.
I have a feeling that you are not NEW to the Forum, a recent ''leaver'' perchance, .. under a different guise.
Also, why would you think its necessary to announce yourself and say ''I'll be controversial'' .... a little insecure are we?
Just BE controversial if you like, join in, and se how it goes...and one of three things will happen, either;
1, You'll get a lively debate going.
2, You'll get 'moderated' into submission
3, You'll get someone's back up, ...as there are quite a few on here who are well capable of 'looking after themselves'
The ones that I would avoid picking an online fight with, are Pendragon, Nemesis and Trojan...to name but a few.
Now, lets get to it!
Attempts at pschycobabbling in terms of being 'insecure' etc go right over my head. Nice try though but only 2 out of 10.
Fester I am of exactly the same opinion Mr Man. As soon as I read the posts directed at Yorkie my shackles were up. Sorry Dave and Ian but sometimes you can just tell when somebody is a bit shady. I can't believe that Yorkie has cancelled his account, he was controversial at times but unlike this member he was also informative, witty and intelligent, I will miss and I'm sure others will too.

After all, it did seem to me that Roumanian might have a lot to offer, judging by his intelligent and sarcastic style.
Do you have a contact?
I have no problem with him providing he leaves me alone.As I mentioned before, if someone wants to be 'controversial', they have to learn to take it as well as give it. If you're happy to refer to people as 'a load of inefficient, unconcerned, apathetic, indifferent, uninterested bunch of tossers', then you must also be willing to receive similar in return surely? Oscar is a good example of this, he can be scathing at times but he also allows comments which vilify him personally. 8)

Just to say, the quote was taken from this post of yours:
http://threetownsforum.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=121.msg1394#msg1394 (http://threetownsforum.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=121.msg1394#msg1394)
He was certainly able to contribute a few well constructed arguments on a few of the debate threads, something we could do with more of.I read his posts on politics etc and they were really good, he's without doubt well informed on council issues which in all fairness has the makings for a good debate, it was just the way he went out of his way to upset and needle other members including myself, put it this way Dave if anyone I wasn't familiar with (and I am with Trojan) referred to me as the one dressed in leather with a bull whip to my face I would have expressed my contempt in exactly the same way with the exception of being able to slap the arrogant pillock in the mouth. I haven't got a problem as long as he keeps his barbed comments to himself. He'll be back in a different guise I don't doubt it, only this time let's hope he winds his neck in!
I agree and he was asked to tone down his personal remarks.I appreciate that Dave as in all honesty I was beginning to wonder.
Sounds like its a case of 'Come back Roumanian' you arrogant, well informed pillock?_))* _))* L0L L0L Couldn't put it better myself x

Facebook A complete waste of time.
Fester, I'm surprised at you of all people, always got one eye on a business opportunity. You are turning down free advertising of your business to a targeted audience --- no throw away leaflets or junk mail that goes straight in the bin and costs the sender lots of cash. I am definately giving it a go, that is when I have figured it all out. I made the fatal mistake, bought a book on Facebook marketing, and I am buried under facts,facts,facts MikeHis business already has a Facebook page:
I searched for David Roberts photography on facebook and got a nasty surprise.........a scantily clad lady instead of Llandudno pier!!!!
Yes what a great night that was Z** Er indoors has a good aim with the handbag L0L I was a bit worried if the cctv would see you being knocked down (only pretend :laugh:) several times (not knowing that you can act so very well!) but so far the old bill's not been in touch!

I obviously missed something exciting whilst I was away on my sunshine cruise for 2 weeks! Good news from the Lottery when I arrived home today - £30 in the kitty! D)
I hope everyone one has been good whilst I have been off the scene. I'll get down to reading all the posts when I've caught up with all the essentials at home. ;) It's nice to be back although I'm still walking on my "sea" legs which should cure in a day or so. :laugh:

God help them if they get prosecuted, convicted and finish up in clink! $angry$I doubt the murderers, rapists, thugs and drug dealers have any higher moral standards than these morons?
Probably not, but offenders against children or the vulnerable are not well liked by "normal" criminals who have their own ways of dealing with such people. $angry$Normal criminals are no better than the ones committing these offences - let's face it - they are all scum.
There is precious little reason to be law abiding these days ... the consequences are negligible

Just had this post on Facebook thought I'd pass it onI'm told that 2 SBTs were set on the cat by a lad.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE anyone in colwyn bay , Llandudno junction , mochdre, Llandudno and surrounding area watch out, there are lads with pit bulls stealing cats and rabbits and watching the dogs chase and rip the animal to pieces! Police have been informed it was happening in Wrexham, but looks like they have moved areas.
A friend says a cat had been killed in Junction last night, police were called. He's heard nothing yet. He thinks the dog was a Staff- Shame Staffs are excellent dogs one of my favourite breeds but lethal in the wrong hands.
I reckon that one of the three people involved did'nt have a leg to stand on :D
I've put this post in the Pub (Towns Arms) section because its not important, just the sort of conversation that might go on in a pub.
You know the toll gate for around the Orme? Is it normal for a cone to be in the middle of the road although the road is open? I don't know because I am to economical with my cash (2 mean) to pay so I go up half way, down and dont pay. There is a good reason I ask, depending on any reply I get I will carry on. Mike
I can only conclude that he stopped far too far away from the cone and the gatehouse man was'nt going to walk down the road to him.

Llandudno swimming pool amazed me today
By NOT having a swimming gala on a Saturday :o
Meant I could take Dylan swimming, good time had by all!
Yorkie, would it not be courteous to first write to the Manager of swimming centre with any complaints?
If you get no joy then by all means escalate the complaint.
Llandudno swimming pool amazed me today
By NOT having a swimming gala on a Saturday :o
Meant I could take Dylan swimming, good time had by all!
All well and good, but its just another made up event which conspires to make the pool unavailable to me (a paying monthly member) for about 90% of the week, I'm sick of it.
FYI, I have been in the swimming pool earlier and according to the digital notice board there is no swimming gala next Saturday but there is one on the following Saturday (24 September).Post slightly edited to save space.
Then you have another two free Saturdays until there is another swimming gala over the weekend of the 15/16 October.
There are free timetables available at the reception counter.
There is public swimming from 6.30am – 3.45pm midweek which is extended to 6pm on Mondays.
At weekends, there is usually public swimming from 7am – 3pm on Saturdays and from 9am – 3pm on Sundays.
On Monday – Thursday, there is at least another one hour public swimming in the evenings but this is extended to three hours extra on a Thursday evening.
I seem to remember there were two hours free swimming for kids on both a Monday and Wednesday afternoon throughout the school summer holidays but that has now ended. During that time, the pool was still available for public use.
When the main pool is not in public use, it is used for children's swimming lessons, performance squad, ladies only, birthday parties, canoe polo, water polo and swimming club use. That normally happens after 4pm.
According to the timetable, the fun sessions that Fester was referring to are on Saturday and Sunday afternoons between 3pm – 4pm.
I had quad by-pass surgery in 1990.
Well I beg to differ, because I went to the gym at the swimming pool, and once again I was informed that something was on which would prevent me from having a proper swim afterwards.
This time it was ''free fun sessions''
All well and good, but its just another made up event which conspires to make the pool unavailable to me (a paying monthly member) for about 90% of the week, I'm sick of it.
Yorkie, I started my rehab in Llandudno Junction and, in my opinion, it is only on a par with the equipment available in the Llandudno Swimming Centre.
In Llandudno, you do not need to use a key to use any of the equipment like you do in the Junction and when using the treadmills in Llandudno you do have something to look at out of the window instead of a feeling of claustrophobia whilst looking at only bushes in the Junction.
That’s just my opinion. $salute$
Also, I was told the other day that the swimming pool gym is being extended, and that much better weightlifting stuff will be installed at that time. Sounds like good news to me.
I like the open air 'gym' at Rhos one Sea and it's completely free D)It's very popular. They are also building one of those on the site of the White Rabbit Statue at West Shore, Llandudno. With that one, you will have the added attraction of trying to keep the sand out of your eyes at the same time.

I joined this forum yesterday I admit I am very outspoken what you see is what you getAs far as I am aware, nobody mentioned the word banned, but with this forum there are certain rules that are followed, many, if not all of which, will be unwritten. This forum is a place where we have fun and exchange views in a light hearted way, it is not a place to pull people to pieces, (unless of course you have just had a parking ticket), if you are in search of that, log onto the gutter press web sites, they are full of that sort of thing. I will however repeat what I said yesterday, welcome to the forum. ZXZ
It seem that certain members want me banned from this forum I can’t see anything in the rules that say outspoken members should be ousted?
I do not want to be put into a category of a sheep making it a case I only agree with others opinions if this is a rule then I will remove myself from the debates it’s up to you guys I’m not bothered
Not the best start, having just joined the forum, you are not Oscar are you? ;D
Pentan, be a good chap and stop sh#t-stirring will you.
You sound like a petulant schoolchild saying ''look Miss, little Johnny hasn't doen his homework, are you going to punish him?''
I am actually looking forward to you contributing to the Forum, no matter if its contentious... I enjoy that.
But if you are wierd and vaguely sinister, then you might as well sod off.
Can everyone calm down a bit, please. It's a lovely day, why not go out for a walk in the sunshine? :-*Good idea Dave, plenty to see on the Prom. Wrap up well and take some exercise. ;D
Just come down from the Bryn beautiful day I am going to try harder to make friends

Ahh, Pentan. ('Fire-head' in Welsh so I'm told?)
If I send you a private message, in response to the one that you sent me...(a few posts below here) I expect it to be just that, PRIVATE! So I think you need another approach if you are being sincere in your quest to find friends.
No matter how hard I re-read my PM to you .... I can see nothing that resembles a threat.
Well, Martin I think its the best Avitar on this or any other Forum!Thanks Fester, that's very kind of you. I made it after one of the cats was being a bit of a pain, shoved if around the door where she was, she hissed at first, then attacked it. Only wish I had a camera at the time.
I seem to have put a bit of life into this forum by challenging the way some members think.We do get the odd new member who behaves in the same way as you. In fact, every Forum does. New person comes in, makes controversial comments, is rude to people...then acts surprised when he receives a hostile response from existing members. That's not really 'challenging the way some members think', it's just being a bit childish.
Unfortunately some of the responses seem to be bordering on the paranoia seeing me as a school boy, and an old man, someone that is plagued by mental health problems, in fact a diagnosis that does not exist in medical terms.
I actually like "dot com" he's always been fine with me Pentan. An awful lot of people are obnoxious when drunk. It's my job to make sure they don't get served too much however sometimes it's hard to tell so there will always be dramas where alcohol is available Z**

Unlike a lot of Internet Forums, a lot of us on here know each other in the real world. I hope to see you at the next Forum Meetup in the Kings Head, where you will get your chance to put your opinions to people on here face to face. You will come, won't you?
That is the happy hunting ground of another! 8)...when he's not reading the posters in Newsagent's windows...
I would be most keen to meet Pentan at the next Forum Meet up.
Shall I organise it in the middle of Maesdu Fields? ;)

You would not like a meet with me bud in a dark alley or a field
You are right about that... you might be wielding a jar of vaseline.That's worth a :laugh:
As long as your the letterbox will bring the jar D)
Me, in training for the meeting with Pentan.Hmmm..so you intend to wear a mask and grab men by the A***. You're not emulating local mass murderer Peter Moore, are you? ???
BBC's DIY SOS helps re-build a Conwy Valley home SCORES of tradesmen armed with tools and paint brushes have answered a family’s plea to revamp their home.
Eight-year-old Erica Williams asked the BBC TV show DIY SOS: The Big Build to help after her dad David received treatment for bowel cancer and was unable to complete building work on their home. She lost her mum, Gemma, to cancer two years ago.
ITV 8.00pm tonight
Good to see you back on the Forum, Paddy. You haven't got Trojan locked in the back of your taxi, have you? :-X ???
I was enjoying my day until a local candidate out canvassing for the forthcoming elections, stopped me and said "I know you don't I? Aren't you the caretaker at Trinity Church?"Oh dear! A vote lost, possibly... &shake&
yes you are right Dave their was 8-10 working this placeAh, that's a little bit different. More than one prostitute working from a property is illegal, specifically classed as 'keeping a disorderly house'. They can expect the 'rozzers' round at some point.
Hehe I was surprised to find out that my house in Conwy was previously a brothel. Not had any callers so far though :-X Brothels have also been set up in Penmaenmawr for many years, some busted others not found. I don't actually see anything wrong with them if I'm honest.I wasn't going to mention your house, Miss P. :laugh:
I went to the Albion last night with the intention to give them MY photo given to me by Rob Pritchard but I needn't have bothered as it seems someone has taken the photo off here (as it's the only copy) and had it blown up for them. Not very happy if I'm honest.

I saw that too--poor old soul--she thought that she was helping ! ;)

I've heard similar - almost always from visitors, where there's some confusion about the bag charge.

Amazing. If he could afford to spend £192, then I doubt 5p extra would have mattered; especially being as the proceeds go to a charity of the retailers' choice in Wales.

What did he buy for £192 that could fit into one carrier bag?

I could have resisted a little longer...say for about another 40 years. &shake& :laugh:
With regards Barclays my friend paid a large sum of money in to there account and its still not in there this was 3 weeks ago, they were told there would be an internal investigation over the matter & for the short term they were given a credit until the investigation was sorted out.. I couldn't tell if the issue has been resolved however I for one wouldn't be banking with them.
now i know why you sell perfumed soap, not many go around smelling old men,s arm pits though.
Yorkie, do you really think there is any difference between one and another? I don't. I decided many, many years ago that they are all painted with the same brush.

I wonder if the attempted frauds were committed using Mike's actual bank account details or maybe his debit/credit card details?
It's not an exaggeration to say that Amazon is our first port of call for most non-food things.Agreed, I love it! $good$
It's a lot cheaper getting Amazon to delivery it free than the cost of carrier bags!
Z** Bottoms up!
So you are prepared to shovel money into a firm that avoids paying any tax towards the general good.
I take it you all enjoy living in this country.
Make sure your money goes to the general good instead of abroad.
I might not agree with everywhere our taxes go, but I am sure it is better in OUR hands as a country, than lining someones pocket in a offshore tax haven.
Can not believe people can be so selfish when they know how the NHS,charities etc are struggling for money.
Think about it.

Just down for the weekend with the missus and the lad and his girl, walked down the pier to introduce myself to Fester and the pier was shut! Ah we'll more drink! Z** maybe bump into some of you lot at the airshow?
I suspect even they are finding the going tough with their free delivery, which most of the time arrives in a day or so.
Look, there is a battle of wills going on in my house between me and a GIANT SPIDER.
I hate them, but to overcome my loathing and fear of them, my Mum sent me a humane spider catching machine. Its basically a little clear plastic box with a sliding door, and its on a stick. £3.99 from Kleeneze.
You basically stick the box over the spider, slide the little door shut.... and pop him outside.
I can even hold him up close, tease him, examine him.... tell him a little joke even, before relocating the little blighter.
But now, one of the species has got wise to me.
He emerges from the conservatory, scuttles across the floor.... but as soon as I make a move for the 'catcher', he stops dead, turns round and speedily retreats.
So adept is the spider at this game, that I now only have to move my hand toward the machine.... and he spots me, and he's gone.
Drastic action is required, or I will have to sell the house to escape him. In fact he is rivalled only by the Corona pop salesman and CCBC parking attendants in its tenacity and ability to annoy me.
Hang on..... here he is again.... I'll just get the....
No, he's seen me, he's gone again.

This bacteria is always on my mind when I hear people asking for their Steak to be cooked, medium or even rare! &shake&
It is with a great deal of relief, that I can now proudly announced that I have just CAUGHT the giant spider.
He wasn't as tough as he made out, they never are. $good$
The spider eventually listened to reason. Basically, he came waltzing past me whilst I was on this forum, and he thought I wouldn't notice... but he was a good few feet out of his comfort zone.
I never knew that DaveR was from Indian ancestry. I was certain he was Welsh born and bred.
The mind boggles as to how you would know such a minute detail!!!His interest in other mens' bits might be an indicator as to why he has so many viruses on his laptop.... :laugh:

Saw this and thought of you Fester........

Does anyone know a guy called Norman Ogden? He said he was something to do with the Cons Club but they don't know him? He's in his 60s/70s walks with a stick I have a photo but I don't want to put it on here.........YET
There's another interesting place where you stand to be sideswiped: driving from Deganwy on New Rd onto the giant roundabout with exits to Llandudno Junction, the Tesco store and onward access to the A55 and finally Conwy. The second exit from that roundabout is slightly to the right and thus traffic probebly ought to use the RH lane when appraoching the roundabout. The road markings, however, say different:[smg id=3281]
Traffic intending to head for Llandudno Junction, Tesco, the cinema complex or the A55 are instructed to use the LH lane, which means that those heading to the last three destinations have to circumnavigate more then half the roundabout. I've now stopped trying to do it the 'correct' way, after numerous cars simply take the RH lane, then happily swing across to the exit in front of me without - apparently - using those silvered glass things fitted to most cars these days.
So, yes; the dash cam is rapidly becoming a necessity. Which? recommends the Nextbase iN-car Cam 402G Professional.
This, (theoretically) could never happen..... and I am still not really certain how it did
This, (theoretically) could never happen..... and I am still not really certain how it did, despite a report the following year.
Can anyone sensibly explain it?
Oh Fester. Naughty naughty. Anyway, why is it so many motorists drive up upper mostyn street to the empire, then turn sharp right and straight down to the prom, maybe heading for festers emporium. It's clearly marked as a one way street both on poles and on the road. I see three or four every summer. First one today, and he/she was driving fast, emergency stopping distance quite long.
