  5. STAFELL TRECH GWLAD NAG ARGLWYDD an unofficial name I have given to the annexe type room at back of the down stairs bar of Weatherspoons. The Whole Pub is full of great stuff as an exhibition on Merthyr History, one of the best I have seen in Weatherspoon Pubs which is why where ever I am I head for their Pubs. Done so far London, Brokley, Ashford, Folkeston, Tredeagar and Swansea and Cardiff. Photos below of Exhibition in this Annexe.






  1. I really reccomend the Welsh Faggot Special, really good, great loved it.


    Too bad the meal was so good or I might have thrown it up in the below:


    What is it about the Welsh, this monstrosity is close by the Town Library, just in case your eager to see it:


    There are loads of  similar English Royalist memorials and plaques all over our land as examples of Victorian Welsh Forelock Tugging Grovelling. I wonder, if we will ever see the day when they are done away with as in many Free post Colonial Countries do with them, not least in the Baltic States.

SOME SOUL MUSIC FOR THE BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND: MUSIC THAT DEFINED A DECADE - THE 'SEVENTIES'.

For me 'Seventies Soul' was a continuation of my interest in 'Sixtes Soul' prompted by non poltical teen age interest in songs of Little Richard, then other than 'Motown' plus Chubby Checker and Sam Brown and the Twist, that went down hysterically with the girls working in the Textile Factory I worked in. Other favs were Diana Ross and Mary Wells on the other hand I had an interest in the Beach Boys. Of duos of course  Ike and Tina Turner also Sonny and Cher, on whole had little interest in English Bands or for that matter 'Canu Cymraeg'. The music background to my years of revolutionary struggle from 'sixties' PF and FWA to 'Seventies' Welsh Socialist Vanguard and Cymru Goch I was American Music, not so much protest even untill the 'Seventies'. Guess I was 'acculturalised' if not 'anglicised', the former was unavoidable for an 'English Speakng Hwntw Youth, the latter was politicized to death as a bye product of becoming a Welsh Patriot. This brings to mind a great series on TV American Folk, a must see three episodes, damn it, I missed the last episode from folk to protest:

POWYS IS NOT AS FAR AWAY AS PALESTINE AND THE BUS JOURNEY IS LESS THAN TO LONDON: TIME THE ANGLO - WELSH LEFT TOOK AN INTEREST IN THEIR OWN BACK YARD AS I TAKE AN INTEREST IN PALESTINE AND MANY OTHER OPPRESSED PEOPLES AND NATIONS NOT JUST THE FLAVOUR OF THE TIMES - HYPOCRACY STINKS BE IT LEFT, RIGHT OR CENTRE!



I Could Name Plenty Of Cardiff 'Usual Suspect' Anglo - Welsh Left, not least Plaid Pacifist, I consider Spuedo Left and 'Guardianesque Brit Republicans' also Sigh! Pretty Useless 'Garibaldian Republicans' who did not show up at a very real radical Peoples Protest on Tuesday 24 May 2011. Perhaps, they will do better when the Call To Action Goes Out, in the mean time I suggest 'Usual Suspect Metro Agenda Left' gets to grip with ditching 'Green Imperialism - Turbine Treachery' or sooner as later they could be pushed into a rather Pathetic Left Fringe that makes no real contribution to the rise of an Anti - Colonial Struggle in Cymru/Wales that will have no time for Labours 'Peoples Puppet Parliament'. If the Left does not awake and arise to become involved, they just might find a rural revolt that comes South led by a 'Tory Tea Party Element' and that we do not need nor want. So think hard and think fast where you going to stand on the sidelnes or become middle of the roaders ready to be run down by a rural heavy duty tractor? Cardiff Plant Crachach Showed themselves up for what they are too, selfish single minded vested self interest rather parochial patriots with one thing on their minds cushty S4C jobs and an house in the Pontcanna Patagonia for life with fat pension of course.
