Living in a S***hole

This is my first ever blogpost.  I will write stuff about living in Abergele, and sometimes I will post some poems. I will also complain about declining standards of British and World morality, excessive drinking, prurience, promiscuity, sex-in-advertising etc. Between complaints, pictures and poems, I hope you'll get an idea of what I'm like, and what it's like living in Abergele.

Incidents like the one pictured below add to the excitement and interest that come from living in Abergele.


and here's a view of one of Abergele's interesting buildings. That's an exaggeration - it's a view of Abergele's only interesting building, apart from the one above, which used to be one of Abergele's etc.


Sometimes, Abergele gives residents and holidaymakers a real frisson.  Here's a picture of a recent happening. Abergelonians lined the bridge across the railway at Pensarn to watch this.  A few hours after this photograph was taken, another train unexpectedly drew to a halt at Abergele & Pensarn Station and some people got out and other people got in.  A memorable day indeed. Trains usually go through Abergele and Pensarn station as fast as possible.  Like this one.


I mentioned holidaymakers. Dozens visit Pensarn every year. Pensarn is another s***hole on the coast, a few minutes walk from Abergele.  Why they visit Pensarn is a mystery.  Personally, I think they visit only to collect beach "pebbles." (See picture) They fill their pockets, boots and backpacks with them.  Then they journey on to Bala Lake (see Google maps). And throw themselves in. The rocks help them sink. That's what a visit to Abergele and Pensarn does to you.


I wish I lived in Colwyn Bay, or Rhyl.  Somewhere more interesting and exciting. Somewhere where there's nightlife and a skating rink and people selling Moroccan Skunk, so I could feel bubblier and truly alive.

Goodbye for now.

  1. If this is your first post, then I am a farmer's boy from Devon....
    Me and Willow are mates - so there. That was my first Jackdaw, er Magpie post. Like yer picture as well - did you 'shop it much to look like an angry young woman? Ha ha.....

    Three proper composers in your fav music? A first for blogger probably. I don't make too much of my musical proclivities for obvious reasons - I'm obnoxious enough without trying eh?

    You were very quick with your comment. Are you married? Do you want to come and live with me on Corfu? Only asking.

  2. It's only me. I noticed two things. 1. There is no optical glass in your specs - what else about you is fake? 2. You have not opened a 'follow' gadget. I want to be your first, if only one, I don't care.

  3. corfubob . . . you see through my stage-glasses just as easily as I did! Photo taken during a rehearsal when I played the lead in "Salome" with the Abergele Thespians. We Welsh are notoriously good singers, look you! John the Baptist only lasted one night, poor man, and we couldn't recruit an understudy.

  4. My first wife, a Chenoweth, was Welsh, couldn't sing for beans. What kind of scam are you (notorious) anteAtlanteans trying to pull, anyway?
