EU to take over Wales?

2012-01-28T09:09:00.004Z

You may think this unlikely.
According to The Slog the EU have effectively taken over the money management of Greece.
If you have no money on a personal level or on a sovereign level you are basically knackered. You have no control if you do not control your money.

Perhaps you were under the misapprehension that the EU evolved for better trading links.

Dissapointment for Flintshire County Councillors

2012-01-28T08:47:00.000Z

Former Saltney mayor Klaus Armstrong-Braun will not be able to practise as a town councillor for four months, but will be able to continue his duties as a county councillor for Saltney Mold Junction.

"Among the incidents were his refusal to accept the advice of the town council clerk."

Cllrs Tom Jones and Colin Bithell shoot themselves in the foot

2012-01-27T20:34:00.014Z

Whilst Chairman Cllr David Williams looks on.

Still on the Tom and Colin theme. Wednesday night was Penyffordd Wine Circle night. I decided to let the society know about the dirty deeds of Penyffordd cllrs over their refusal to give a proper level of grant money as given to the three legged football club the Red Lion Strollers ( prop Cllr David Williams).

I took along some photocopies of the council minutes. The girls weren't happy, voices were raised. Me, I said nothing.

Tom and Colin can expect a few votes less. Lisa says may be 18 plus family members.

As for Edwina an ex member selling her mates down the river?

Is Cllr Williams the new Penyffordd Machiavelli?

Is Cllr David Williams to be the " El Presidente" of Penyffordd? He's taking lessons off Tom.

Penyffordd Diesel to double?

2012-01-23T21:37:00.006Z

Lovely piece of kit. One of the American aircraft carriers in the Gulf. My dad used to fly off one of these in the second world war. I've sailed on Arab commercial shipping as a ship junior engineer.

In fact I was employed by United Arab Shipping that used to get torpedoes through their ships during the Iran Iraq war by the Persians.

I'd left by that time fortunately.

USA and Europe have picked a strange time to pick a fight with Iran the third largest oil producer in the world with all their economies down the toilet.

Fuel is at high cost levels. USA and Europe have trillions of dollars, euros and pounds outstanding in derivative bets that are being hidden from the taxpayer.

Their economies are a parcel of lies held up by the main stream press.

Business is refusing to invest and rightly so.

We of course are going to pick up the tab through higher taxation. Call it green taxes call it what you like.

Higher fuel costs means more taxes. More money to pay down bank debt of which we were not a sharer of any possible profits, just the debts.

World wars are used to stimulate economies.

We can stand a doubling of diesel price in our household, a lot can't.

Here is an article on the food, drugs, healthcare industries in USA. You may see the connections. One provides the other with lots of business. This is so to a lesser extent in this country.

"Mother Nature cannot be fooled for long. A sedentary lifestyle and a diet heavy with sugar, empty carbs, salt and unhealthy fats derived from factory-farm animals cannot sustain a human body selected for an omnivorous, active hunting-gathering lifestyle. Health is simply impossible when the body is destroyed by this sort of diet and inactive life."

Flintshire County Council Traffic Calming Proposals

2012-01-20T19:29:00.003Z

Good news for Chester Rd, Penyffordd. There is a qualifying points system using various metrics. Chester Rd is one of the sites that qualifies.

Chester Rd should qualify in any case due to the daily invasion by " shift workers", Broughton Retail Park customers and A55 Warren Bank traffic in my opinion.

This will be subject to available funding, Penyffordd Cllrs and other agencies.

Thank you to whoever made this so ! Most probably Penyffordd County Cllrs.

This is Alexandru from Romania, a lovely person, he works in a fruit research station in Cluj. Always willing to answer questions. Such is the beauty of the net.
Why is he waving all those roots around? Gardeners might understand.

Alternative ways to multiply plants. Float hydroponics. Music as well if you are set up.

Zombie Councillors

2012-01-19T09:18:00.006Z

Penyffordd has a councillor who has difficulty keeping up with events. The councillor will make comments on council items that were discussed 20 minutes previous, four items on....................

Penyffordd residents voted for this councillor 4 years ago. How were they to know. The above knowledge was hidden from them.

The councillor's function is to keep other able minded residents from the council table, nothing more.

Part of the sickness of Penyffordd Council.

Is it not time for potential councillors to undertake tests to show they have the skills to lead the village? That they have the physical stamina to be able to attend 12 council meetings and to show a willingness to help the community?

To have councillors who are individuals and not "yes people" for the head man?

Adverts on this website

2012-01-18T12:15:00.001Z

I have no say on what adverts appear. They are triggered by word content, ie. speeding. It would be fair to say there are some of which I disapprove.

It is possible for me to attempt to control certain advert content. It is something however I am not currently familiar with. I will most probably end up blocking adverts that I do not wish to.

It should be pointed out that every Penyffordd Cllr would prefer the wine circle to be dead and buried. (re last two meetings)

Neighbourly Deeds

2012-01-17T19:10:00.006Z

A neighbour has washed his car with a pressurised cleaner spraying water everywhere. The neighbour has also cleaned another neighbour's car. The public pathway was soaking wet and is now sheet ice. Just right for those coming down to the pub and chinese.

Ice skating whilst under the influence take out in hand or maybe all over the deck.

Broken legs and sprains are a pain.

Anyone for telling said person they're on the blog? Some people inc cllrs are like that. Children risking their lives on Chester Rd comes second to getting revenge.

I could mention how some absent parent whose lad was cycling around the main road without paying attention, was wound up. Even our local CBM saw him at it.

Someone kindly gave the parent my phone number which is ex directory.
I got an ear full and a warning not to speak to him again.

This was a public service blog.

stop press: It's getting warmer !!

Parking in Penyffordd

2012-01-16T09:54:00.010Z

Penyffordd has the services of a traffic warden for 9 hours per week. This is currently being used to stop motorists illegally using the top of Penymynydd Rd, Penymynydd as a short cut. ( Just as Chester Rd is legally used for Airbus and Broughton Retail Park) (and HGV for A55 Warren Bank).
NWP have or are going to wash their hands of such lowly matters as parking which is going to be taken over by Flintshire County Council.

Residents are between a rock and a hard place because planners didn't realise every house would want at least three parking places. Shotton is going to be a nightmare for car owning residents without drives.

Cllr Colin Bithell is unhappy with cars parking on the path in his cul de sac. Will the warden be booking offenders?

Will offenders including me be booked for parking outside my house which has a wide path and double yellow lines. I have this silly idea I am on the target list.
Mine's the big Mercedes tank, councillors!

Former CBM Chris Pullen would only book cars that stopped a double wide pram from traversing the path.

Early on in my speeding protest I had a visit from the excellent CBM Ian Millington asking me to move my car immediately. This would was after his report to the PCC meeting.

There is no suggestion that he was sent across to lean on me. There is no suggestion either that I am the only person who has ever been asked to move his car on the wide path outside my house.

Vehicles park outside my house every day and over night breaking parking regulations. Just the odd idiot blocks the path.

Just a small example of community council power abuse.

This was when we had over 2000 cars a day breaking 30 mph on a major route to school and none of them wanted to know.

Time for change councillors? Will Penyffordd sheeple wake up?

Affordable Homes within Penyffordd - Cllr David Williams

2012-01-13T17:02:00.004Z

David has had a battle on his hands over this. As far as I can see looking at council minutes he is the only councilor standing up for affordable homes in Penyffordd. Where is Labour Cllr Cindy Hinds on this? This is supposedly her natural territory.

David is to be congratulated for not letting this go. Other cllrs need to be reminded of when they first tried to buy a house.

Other cllrs in my opinion are out of touch. Or are they playing politics with an election approaching?

I'm surprised at Cllr Linda Vidamour she has grown up children. Perhaps she is under orders from Head Prefect Cllr Tom Jones.
