Weekend Three

-

 It had been a whole three weeks

I'd been deserted by my man

He'd had some kind of meltdown

And from my life he ran


I was in a state of limbo

Was I wanted or not?

Not a word or explanation

As to why he'd lost the plot


My weekend was looking bleak

After work Friday afternoon

There'd be no smiles or kisses for me

No love or laughter anytime soon


But the universe was plotting

My weekend behind the scenes

As I went to bed at nine pm

To escape into my dreams


For there on Saturday morning

On Facebook I did see

Ten new friend requests

From men, all wanting me


One of them sent a photo

Of a certain body part!

Proudly holding it in his hand

Was a very horny man!


I thought I should be offended

Report him to Facebook

But then I thought 'Bugger it'

And had another look!


Off out then for rugby

Drinking cider and rum

Having a laugh with my friends

My weekend was becoming fun


Downing shots under a starry sky

Log fire burning bright

I don't remember going home

But I know I had a good night


It's Sunday and I'm still man- less

Watching friend requests pour in

So roll on next weekend

For the fun to begin again!

The Hanbury Arms, Pontypool

-
Image
 This inn has made both local and national newspapers with it's stories of ghostly happenings.  The figure of a man has been seen in the pool room, glasses have smashed by themselves, lights switch on and off by themselves, barrels have split and strange whispers have been heard in the cellar which still has coffins in it. The date of the building is said to be around the 1830's, however it is mentioned in the Cambrian newspaper of 13th January 1821 when an auction took place there,  Also an article from the Monmouthshire Merlin of 6th February 1864 suggests it could be older still.  It reads -  "The numerous public houses or hotels that bear the name of the Hanbury Arms at once attest the popularity of the name, the oldest of which in this district is that occupied by Mr John Joshua, Trosnant, whose grandfather obtained the license for the house from the late John Hanbury Esq, somewhere about eighty years ago, who suggested to him that he should adopt the Hanbu...

Cwmbran History and Mystery - Rede Road

-
Image
 This story wasn't included in my book Cwmbran History and Mystery as I had only heard one account of it and the activity could have been put down to natural causes.  The story I heard happened in the late 1960's, my parents had moved to a house in Rede Road and my Mam claimed she could hear footsteps in the house when there was no one else there.  I put this down to being alone in a new environment with central heating that may have made the floorboards creak.  Anyway, there was plenty of new housing in Cwmbran at that time so they were able to move. Fast forward fifty plus years and I am told a second story of spooky goings on in a house in that area.  It is a similar story - footsteps and also the sound of ghostly wheels. It is common knowledge these houses were built near the Henllys Incline where until around a hundred years ago the noise of trams carrying coal from the Henllys Colliery would have been an everyday occurrence but on one day in particular a t...

Oakfield Inn - cwmbran

  The first mention in old newspapers of the Oakfield Inn was in the  Illustrated Usk Observer of 10 th October 1863 when the Shepherd on the Hill Lodge held their anniversary gathering there. Around a hundred and twenty people sat down to supper provided by the landlord and his wife, Mr and Mrs Williams. Mr T Leadbetter was the chairman for the night and proposed loyal and patriotic toasts while entertainment was provided by harpist William Thomas of Merthyr. Like many pubs in the 19 th century the Oakfield Inn was used as a place to conduct inquests into deaths. Such was the case in June 1866 when Samuel Whittington, a middle aged man employed by Hill and Batt was drowned in the canal by the Halfway Hotel. He was taken out of the water quite quickly and surgeon J.S. Cousins called for but by the time he arrived the man had died. A verdict of accidental drowning was returned. By 1871 the Oakfield had passed to William Bevan, thirty-four. The census of that year ...
