Who’s a Lucky Boy Then?

A man in America managed to shoot himself in the head with a nail-gun and survived without any real problems!

“Dante Autullo remained conscious after the self-inflicted injury and initially believed he had only brushed his nail gun against his head.

The 32-year-old, who is recovering in hospital, even continued doing handiwork around his Chicago home for the rest of the day and chatted to his family.

But he was taken to hospital the following afternoon after waking up from a nap feeling ill.”

He even posted a picture of the X-ray on Facebook in the ambulance!

Christmas Diesel Rush!

damianplant — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:14:37 +0000

Why is it every Christmas people find it necessary to “panic buy” their diesel?

It’s not going anywhere! So I wish people would relax and fill up like normal.

Beware of Bogus Callers

damianplant — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 09:09:11 +0000

There have been a number of reports of bogus callers trying to gain access to care Homes and Domiciliary Agencies.

In some cases they have posed as Inspectors or even “New Staff” coming on to start a shift. One incident happened in the middle of the night!

The Care and Social Service Inspectorate Wales is advising everyone to be extra vigilant and if there is any doubt regarding their ID to phone their care service provider or police.

Keep aware of who you open your door to and BE SAFE!

Chally in Shock Departure!

Departing manager Dave Challinor

Colwyn Bay manager Dave Challinor has left his post at Llanelian Road. The promotion winning boss quit as Bay boss on Tuesday night to join Evo-Stik North side AFC Fylde, with play-off hero Jon Newby replacing him as first team manager.

Newby, who netted the match winning goal in last season’s play-off final with FC United, said he was delighted to take the role, and said it was "business as usual" at the Bay. Jon says he wants to help move the club forward and is looking forward to the challenge stating “This is a fantastic club with fantastic people running it and I am looking forward to helping them move it forward and continue the great work that Chally and Colin have done."

Jon Newby Celebrates after securing promotion.

He admitted "It’s probably come a little earlier than I would have liked, but I’m pleased to have been given the chance. Jon also indicated that he would be looking to bring in an experienced assistant with previous links to Colwyn Bay, but didn’t expect a new number two to arrive before this weekend’s game against Blyth Spartans. Jon said "I will be having a talk with the chairman over the next couple of days, but I don’t really want to bring in an outsider; we need someone who knows the club and just what it means to the people who run it and support it.

Looking ahead, Newbs added: "We are in a strong position in the league with a good bunch of lads and I will be looking to keep things ticking over with as little upheaval as possible."

I was also lucky enough to meet Danny Miller, AKA Aaron Dingle from Emmerdale, when i visited. I must say what a pleasant, down-to-earth, and genuine bloke he was. He had the time to chat to me about my campaigning work and said “keep it up!”
