Who have you upset? Are your kids immunisations up to date?

It's like a Welsh version of Hastings,but at least you can get a shag, a nice woolly jumper and a nice casserole on the same date.3

Following a drunken pledge regarding the nation of Latvia, I attended Barry Town v Skonto Riga about 10-15 years ago. Had a great night, but it's definitely a crappy little town.0

Always looked lovely during "Gavin & Stacey" but I appreciate that is of little help. I'd try Tracy Island.0

Crawley has a level of sophistication that Barry can only dream of.bazjonster said:

#1 is Huyton in Liverpool - that site we had to lock the gates behind us for our own safety. Passers by were a non stop stream of teenage mums, shirtless blokes with pitbulls, and the surrounding council estate was 50% boarded up with notes on the plywood saying all valuable had been removed form the houses - like the ones you usually see on plumber's vans.

Blimey, never saw scenes like that in Luton. Joey Barton did well to get out of Huyton then.Exiled_Addick said:

Barry Island has trains to Cardiff. And a nice coast line as well (to be fair). And a new ASDA.0

Barry Island? Ain't he the one who shot Jan Dildo?

Anyone else noticed that Paulie posted this and then promptly vanished from the thread? I've a horrible feeling this might have been a romantic getaway and now have visions of him frantically trying to rebook for Leysdown!2

A Welsh colleague told me it is rough. The police like to blood youngsters there, so it's not just Roly insisting on throwing youngsters into the fray.0

Excited about your weekend, Paulie?2

Haha what a load of bollocks. The coppers have a big station and custody centre there, one of the main ones in se Wales. So your mate is full of it.c4fcdenmark said:A Welsh colleague told me it is rough. The police like to blood youngsters there, so it's not just Roly insisting on throwing youngsters into the fray.
Some you lot need to have another look at Barry. It's getting some shocking write ups here and while in the past it was a little rough in places, that's changed.
No way near the top ten rough holes of Britain - let alone number 2!!2 -

Worked in Barry for a few months nearly 40 years ago so bear in mind things may have changed!
Nothing much happened on Barry Island itself in January and February.
If you have a car Cardiff is only 8 miles down the road.
There are also a few quite scenic places within reasonable driving distance such as Sully, Wenvoe and Penarth to name 3 off the top of my head.
I found some lovely pubs in the area. Names that come to mind are the Fox and Hounds in a place called Llanharan, The Wenvoe Arms and the Blue Anchor at Aberthaw. No idea whether or not they are still in business after all this time!
Hope you, your good lady and baby enjoy the break Paulie.0 -
Just in time for the biggest match in a decade on Saturday!
