Hangover is no excuse for missed productivity....did your eyesight return?
i'm right outside of Greensboro going towards Chapel Hill...there was another guy here from Boone...i think Lukester??...but i haven't seen him post in a long time...
hey i went to high school up there..Reidsville...a sleepy tobacco town...
yeah--where's Lukester!
Just watched a documentary about that place. Good working class town with alot of kids on heroin. Quite disturbing actually, I hope things are getting better for the kids.
I'm from a town in Montana, you know, the river runs through it. peace
Cool! Bin aus Dortmund! You are female

I don't think it's any worse than anywhere else, the authorities do seem to be adopting a policy of 'concentration' - pushing all the junkies to live togethor in designated areas around town - which makes those areas pretty daunting places to go if you're not into all that and when portrayed in a doc make it seem like that's all there is here. Social housing areas are the worst, private housing areas seem to not be touched much by drug abuse except when the junkies come around 'on the burgle'.
Don't mind me asking but how come you had a doc on Swansea out there?. If I was going to predict such a thing I would have said it would have been about Dylan Thomas not the local drug issues........

Where "Satisfaction" was born! Well, maybe. Even cooler, it's where Jim Morrison attended junior college. There is an historic plaque where he lived with his grandparents. Have u seen it? Sorry to ramble, us Doors fans are a tad obsessive.
I was born in and still live in Florida, east coast.
Richmond .... that's SW London
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
The documentary was on YouTube so somehow it made it into my cue, we Americans are always interested in the way people live and get by in the old country. I thought the place was pretty typical of industrial towns in america where the industry has changed or fled altogether.
I particularily liked the song about Swansea that the kids were singing rather patriotically. Even though their lives were a mess they loved the old place.
What is it you do there Eddie? A writer? Obviously a RS fan. Cheers to Swansea. peace
Which part of Swansea are you from? I'm from Neath (although its easier to say I'm from Swansea)
Talk about your favorite band.

I don't think it's any worse than anywhere else, the authorities do seem to be adopting a policy of 'concentration' - pushing all the junkies to live togethor in designated areas around town - which makes those areas pretty daunting places to go if you're not into all that and when portrayed in a doc make it seem like that's all there is here. Social housing areas are the worst, private housing areas seem to not be touched much by drug abuse except when the junkies come around 'on the burgle'.
Don't mind me asking but how come you had a doc on Swansea out there?. If I was going to predict such a thing I would have said it would have been about Dylan Thomas not the local drug issues........
