PEOPLE IN MY LIFE

This Blog would never be complete unless I spoke about some of those people who have been part of my life for the past years.   Some have been just friends or acquaintances, others have been part of a special happening or occasion, and all have in some way contributed to my various ups and downs.

I will start with someone who met with a tragic end, the best man at my wedding, and a well known local character.   The first on my list is John Williams, late of Sefton Terrace, Deganwy.   John was a very popular individual who latterly lived alone but kept himself active on the local scene.   He was the very popular Quiz-master at the Kings Head pub, and a regular contributor to all the local Blogs and Forums.   He was even a regular poster on Thoughts of Oscar, where he was often taunted for putting forward his opinions on local and national matters.   Despite our " friendship" over many years he was never aware of the author(s) of the Blog, or those who wrote the main posts or issued taunts or hurting comments in replies.  He was certainly upset by much of the content on the Blog and was always seeking to find the perpetrators of the abuse, much of which was actually condoned by me as the Blog Owner!

Apart from his interest in his Quiz-master activities, John was a keen sailor and had a large motor cruiser in the form of a Fairey Huntsman he christened SHAKIRA.  John, apart from local forums, also made an active contribution to the Fairey Owners forum, and was very well liked and respected amongst other boat owners.

John got fed up with the attention he was getting from the Thoughts of Oscar blog and decided to try to discover who ran it, not knowing it was just me, an old friend.  He made plenty of enquiries and even went to one persons house and challenged them with being Oscar.  Of course he was wrong and in frustration poured out his heart as to how he felt, and the mental anguish he was suffering.  The person he met gave him some comfort and help as to who the author of the blog may be. This was around October/November of 2010 when the identity of Oscar was not generally known.   John's enquiries became troublesome to me and I asked an old friend of mine and sandwich supplier to help me and put John off my track.

My friend in his naivety suggested to Mr Williams that if he did not cease his interest in finding the answers to his enquiries, his house would be "fired".   No interpretation by me is required, and maybe the frightener was overplayed, but it was enough to cause John added personal concern.

It must have been a serious mental fight for John Williams which he found difficult to bear, and on 17th. November 2010 he was found dead in his bath, his wrists cut, and a note to his housekeeper to phone the Police.  The Media gives a report of the Inquest that followed his death (http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/popular-pub-quizmaster-slashed-wrists-1851737)..   John took his own life, but why?   Was it the Blog that upset him so much, or a matter totally unconnected with what we knew about him?   We will never know.

That was John Williams, a person who entered and formed part of my life.

WHAT A LOVELY PART TIME JOB

You have probably read somewhere on the Internet about my activities as a Police informant.   Where I worked was an ideal place to observe the goings on in the center of town.   The confines of the shop itself and the back room provided a suitable theatre to get chit chat and information.  The back room was to get the really good stuff and pass anything on to mates in the force.   There is some confusion about the standing of those who pass on information, as I did, so here is a short explanation.

Informant: Individuals who are not employed as law enforcement agents and who provide the Police and other Authorities with information, often in exchange for money. An informant ordinarily has previous involvement in – and more intimate knowledge of – the movement, the person or organization that the agents are investigating.

Cooperating Witness: Similar to informants, except that cooperating witnesses usually agree to ‘flip’ or ‘snitch’ after being threatened with prosecution. Cooperating witnesses will testify in court in exchange for lesser or no charges filed against them.

So there you have it, more about how I used to amuse myself, and yet none of those I grassed on even suspected I was involved in their problem!

NEW BLOG ON THE BLOCK

FESTER - known by thousands, loved by many.   Yet some idiot, not yours truly this time, has desided to pursue a relentless onslaught against him.   As with all these vicious Bloggers they are not content with just poking a little bit of fun but have to throw insults, and unsavoury comment about them and their family.  This Blogger, not content to attack one individual, also uses the same site to poke fun at a dear old man of 80 plus who is a boon to the town, by operating the popular attraction of the Great Orme Golf course.   A little bit of help would be more beneficial that a campaign of ridicule and criticism.

What sort of pathetic individual is this?  A few months ago, I would have said someone after my own heart, applauded what was being written, and probably joined in.  But I turned over anew leaf.   Or maybe I am contributing to this new Blog, that would be no surprise, but you will never know!

REMEMBER, REMEMBER

No, not the Fifth of November, don't want to hear anymore about gunpowder and blue touch papers.   The last time created enough problems for me and a few mates.   If David Jones had not suggested going to the Police with his assassination fears, no one would have thought anymore about it.   Instead the Law decided to react in a similar stupid rush as they do with their Tasers and all sorts of problems appeared.   Never again, Mr Jones.

There was also a massive OTT response from North Wales Police when my shop window got smashed.  Normally such a matter would just attract the visit of a PSCO to take down a few patticulars, but on this occasion SEVEN Police vehicles arrived together with their complement of 2 coppers per vehicle.  They very quickly aprehended the culprit who was eventually dealt with in the usual way.  I like everyone, pay rates, and I object to the way that Public Services squander my money.   I have voiced my opinions about the Government and the Councils on this Blog many a time.   Hasn't always been noticed as at such times I never used my real name.   A favourite trick was, in fact, to use someone else's name and let them take the repercussions.  I am not without  feelings, you know.

That's enough confessions for today I just hope they are being noticed by everyone!   The things I have to do to keep my readership!

Off for a spin with my Big Mates, see you later.

JEKYLL & HYDE

From many of my postings you may get the impression that I think of David Ian Jones MP as an upstanding member of the Town and just the sort of person who could be welcomed by all as their MP.   Amazing how wrong that assumption could be, as he can also demonstrate a very nasty side to his character as can be illustrated by a recent incident.

In pursuit of someone that he accused of spoiling his chances for re-election at the last General Election he made a statement to the local police.  In this statement, when referring to what had been written about him on a Blog he used the following words :

"There were suggestions that local journalists were involved in the Blog.   I suspected that a man called xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx was involved in certain of these Twitter accounts, because he is an active internet user and is NOTORIOUS for making unpleasant comments on the internet."

Quite a bold statement!   Except that, the person he referred to, was in no way connected with the case he was pursuing, had nothing to do with his election or non-election, and Jones had no proof of the theory he was putting forward.  In fact, the use of those words was totally unnecessary as it made not one iota of difference to the evidence he gave to the Police.  It is in fact totally superfluous and only included for Jones' malicious purpose to implicate another innocent party.   After being challenged about this uncalled for defamatory statement, Jones has been unwilling, and indeed, unable, to put forward any proof as to the man's involvement in any unpleasant or otherwise untoward use of the internet, in respect of any person, let alone Jones himself.   JONES has refused to apologise or withdraw the injurious words.  

This little episode just shows that Jones is prepared to level insults and innuendo, and try to destroy an individuals reputation with total impunity and without regard for the person, his family or his friends.

BEWARE  your MP's are not always what they would have you think, and will change loyalties to suit their own selfish aims!

WHAT'S IN A PICTURE?

The old adage tells us that "a picture paints a thousand words" .
Here is a candid shot of our esteemed MP, David Jones with a bit of "hot toddy" at his side on the beach.

Just goes to show that David has a keen eye for the ladies as I do myself.

Apparently this blonde bombshell gave him lots of help during his exhaustive campaign to be elected for Clwyd West.  Maybe it was she who attracted all the votes rather than the real candidate. Pity he is in the photograph really!

HEAR, HEAR and HEARSAY.

This is what I said in a statement I made to the Police about harrassment to do with my blog.

I was not there at the time, and he handed a pile of leaflets to a member of my staff, she handed them back to him saying she didn’t want them and he replied ‘I THOUGHT NIGEL WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HAVING SOME’

Did you notice the deliberate mistake?   Well neither did the Police!  

If I wasn't there at the time, which I admit to, how could I be privy to what had happened or had been said?   I couldn't could I?   Such evidence is hearsay and is not allowed, so why did the Police allow it to stay?   Because they wanted to get a conviction and were prepared to accept my lies in evidence.   Clever lads aren't they?   That's why they used to come by for cups of tea and the latest gossip.   I wonder what they get up to now I do not have the shop anymore?

MY HOUSE

I'm sure everyone knows where I live in Deganwy.  Was messing about on the PC and got involved with Google earth.  Did not know that you could get such detailed pictures and information about any property you wanted.   So I took a few photos of my lovely house and decided to share them with you.  You can even see the cars and where we park them at the side.   A few months ago someone decided to plaster both our cars with some nasty graffiti.  As yet there has not been any news from the Police as to who did it so not much we can do about it.  They are not working as hard for us as they did in the past.

              

I'll maybe drop a few holiday snaps on sometime, especially those of Steve (Rico) Davies having a steak with me last time I visited the USA.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA

How careless of me to get myself caught on camera when I thought it was me who was acting the secret agent.   I'm the one on the right, viewfinder to my eye.   Thought I was being clever getting a snap of a local polititian, but due to my stupid error, got myself snapped and found myself being referred to as a pedophile.  All for just taking a snap of a few young kids.

IT PAYS TO BE POPULAR

Just spotted this on another blog.

Nigel and Wendy Roberts

Roberts is as mad as a hatter!

              --------------------------------------------------          

It really is amazing the amount of fantastic publicity we are getting at the moment.  All our efforts are producing exciting results and David, Ruby, Dylan, Chris and us are absolutely delighted.   As we are still getting protection from our Police mates we will continue as normal.  Someone did suggest that what we are doing could be classed as delinquent and anti-social behaviour and could possibly result in an ASBO being issued

Just let the Police try that tactic and I'll get David Jones MP (and failed Welsh Minister) to put them in their place.
