Baggies Glory

Well the weekend plans went a little wrong. On Friday the plan was to travel to the Eistedfod in Swansea via the Baggies big kick kick off in the Championship (WBA v Hull at the Hawthorns on Saturday 5th).

Labour - Union link derailed by faulty clutch !

Part one of the plan started to go wrong when the clutch decided to give up on the M6 near Walsall. What is wrong the old Espace has only done 230,000 miles ! Thankfully got enough gear grip (is that a mechanical term ?) to get off the motorway and made a quick decision to park car in a local street and grab a taxi to the ground. Made the Baggies in time for the kick off, but had to text Welsh Labour at half time warning that an appearance in Swansea on Sunday was very unlikely.

On Sunday morning kind RAC man adjusted the clutch enough to get me on the road (but advised me to head back home) so the speaking contribution in Swansea was lost. Apologies to all concerned. The main points were going to be in summary (a) Link is good for Labour and unions (b) still much work to deliver (c) next focus is the manifesto for May 2007. Vote Labour !

On the positive side at least Hartson brought his experience to bear on the football, and he already looks a good tip for the Championship's leading scorer this season. Watch out Leighton Andrews AM its Cardiff next for the Baggies steamroller.......

Gobieithiaf fod yr Eisteddfod yn llwyddiant ond mae cynlluniau yr Ymgeisydd yma wedi ei gorffen gan cyflwr y car. Ymddiheuriad am methu'r sesiwn prynhawn Sul.
