The 'Reseller' with black gloves

 



The reseller with black gloves

is dressed up like a ninja

shopping trolley, ikea bags and a hidden camera.

Will buy off you for buttons

then sell on ebay or vinted for much much more.

If they were subtle or discrete

but purchase made, they show the ebay listing

with how much they're asking!

"You don't understand the grind, the graft

the descriptions, the taking pictures, the postage

the seller returns"

"I understand that you are taking the piss at my expense.

This is a car boot sale not an arena for recovering 

entrepreneurs and capitalists.

If you think you're going to humiliate me on You Tube hombre

then think again"

Karma's a bitch

and one day you will pick up that Indian trinket

with the awesome spiritual vibe

and after trying to list it for ten times what you paid me

you'll turn into a tree

for dogs to piss on!

Ymbil am drugaredd


Hen amser fod yr hen iaith Gymraeg yn dangos ei phig ar y blog yma a minnau yn honni fod yn siaradwr anaye! Mae misoedd cyfan yn gallu mynd heibio a minnau yn cyfathrebu yn yr iaith fain ac wedyn dwi'n cael atgof o'r gorffenol "Use it or lose it young man". 

Wel mae'r hen ddyn yma bellach eisiau sgrifennu geiriau yn llongyfarch ac yn canmol pobol ifanc, myfyrwyr Ffrainc sydd wedi bod allan ar y strydoedd yn gwrthdystio yn erbyn gorthrwm ei llywodraeth. 

Andros o wlad di Ffrainc! Mi fues yn Llydaw blwyddyn ddiwethaf ac am un penwythnos cyfan mi wnes i fwynhau'r Brifddinas, Paris. Gadael Montroulez ar ddydd Gwener a dychwelyd o Gar de Montparnasse ar ddydd Llun. Er mor brydferth oedd Morlaix yn fwrlwm Paris roeddwn ni yn hapusach. Yn teithio fel dieithryn llygad lled agored ar y Metro. Un o'r argraffiadau cyntaf oedd y nifer o dwristiaid oedd o gwmpas y lle. Roeddwn yn gyfarwydd â chanol Llundain, rwyf wedi gweld y dorf yn ganol Tokyo ond roedd canol Paris yn enwedig o gwmpas Notre Dame yn afiach. Mor o bobol a ninlle i ddianc rhag y cegau lled agored.

Gresynu wrth weld twristiaid tu allan i'r Louvre heddiw yn rhegi ag yn gwneud ystumiau ar y myfyrwyr yn protestio. Tasa’r gilotîn dal wrth ei waith fasa dangos y llafn i'r twristiaid yma ddim yn beth drwg. Dwi'n sgrifennu fel rhywun sydd wedi ymdoddi mewn gwleidyddiaeth y chwith ers oes pys ac mae gweld mas critigol fel hyn yn sefyll i fyny yn erbyn yr heddlu a deud "digon yw digon" yn gwneud i rywun fod yn falch iawn o'r bobol ifanc yma sydd wedi sylweddoli dim cyn amser does dim dyfodol i ddynoliaeth os ydym am fwrw blaen yn yr hen drefn gyfalafol hon am byth.

Roedd Prif Weinidog newydd y Deyrnas Unedig yn siarad gem dda yn y dechrau ond fel pob un wan jac o'i rhagflaenwyr mae o wedi dod o dan rym y lobi Israelaidd ac mae hyn wedi tawelu ei syniadau gwych gwreiddiol. Iddo fo fwy neu lau cwympo allan gyda'r Gwyrddion oherwydd hyn yn symbolaidd iawn o'r 'Zeitgeist' rydym yn byw trwyddi ar hyn o bryd. Creisis mewn cyfalafiaeth ydy'r sefyllfa yn y Dwyrain Canol yn y bôn. Tirfeddianwyr yn ceisio creu mwy o gyfoeth i bobol ei hunain ar draul hil o bobol eraill. 

Dwi ddim wedi darllen a 'Tale of Two Cities' gan Charles Dickens ond mae gen i syniad amdano a beth rydym yn gweld yn Ffrainc ac ym Mharis yn benodol ydy arlliwiau'r llyfr hwn. Aristocratiaeth Lloegr yn ofni bydd gwrthdystio Ffrainc yn dod drosodd i dir y Deyrnas Ranedig.

Mae 'na chwedl o gyfnod Chwyldro Ffrainc fod y rheswm na welodd Lloegr y fath trwbl oedd y ffaith wnaeth y cyfoethog sylwi fod o yn ei buddiannau i ddechrau rhannu ei chyfoeth gyda'r rhai tlotach yn gymdeithas a dyna pam wnaeth llafn y gilotîn ddim cwrdd â gyddfau'r Saeson. 

Mae Nigel Farage yn honni taw mewnfudwyr sydd yn achosi'r drafferth yn Ffrainc ac os nad ydynt yn ofalus yn y gwledydd yma yr un fydd ein ffawd. Well dewch o na tacla! Mae'n hen bryd i gyfoethog Brydain cael braw. A welwn ni chwyldro yng Nghymru eto tybed? Chwyldro ble fydd y Torïaid hunanol ag y Reform UK Ltd bondigrybwyll yn cael bath bach cynnar oer ym Mhae Caerdydd?

Wedi ei hebrwng o Senedd Cymru lawr i'r dwr i atgoffa nhw beth ydy ymbil am drugaredd.

I curse the Conservatives

 


I curse the Conservatives. I curse both Labour and the Conservatives in Wales. ReformUK LTD are the bastard love child of the Conservative Party and a dodgy deckchair on the Clacton seafront. Both parties in Wales are now an irrelevance. The brass neck of the bastards. You wouldn't think that Welsh Labour had been in charge at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay since 1999. 27 years of absolute dross and treading water. The Conservatives had 14 years in Westminster from 2010-2024 under 5 different Prime Ministers and ungrateful, amnesiac twats are blaming Andy Burnham. Any 'British' Prime Minister who is a fan of devolution has to be admired. 

One Nation Conservatives have to be cursed and they are congregating in Birmingham to clap, guffaw, slap each other on the back and plot a return to Victorian Britain with its emphasis on Prisons and the Work House. F**K the Tories. How many times does the Nation of Shopkeepers next door need to get nudged by Napoleon? Small c Conservatives the lot of them and they have seeped into Wales. The blue stain appears at election time in the parts of Wales that are all fur coat and no knickers like the Vale of Glamorgan and Aberconway. The tweedy twee brigade in parts of Clwyd and Brecon and Radnor.

What galls me is that the Welsh Conservatives and Welsh Labour are in a continuous phrase of rebranding. They don't have the dignity and self awareness to sit this one out. As much as I abhor ReformUK LTD, the rump of the Conservative Party you can't really accuse them of being career politicians like the Tories and Labour. They are just odd. They don't fit in the square hole of Conservatism so they have had to find a home elsewhere. Under Nigel Farage's mattress where he keeps all the money that he's been gifted from Thailand and North America. 

When all this is over! This political charade with the most despicable people in charge like Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. When the world has come to its senses. Nigel Farage will become a non dom in Monaco like slim Jim Radcliffe. For all his huffing and puffing about Great Britain Farage knows that the show is over. Britain is broken, he is correct but it's not broken because of migrants. It is broken because of snobs like Jacob Rees-Mogg, it is broken because of an unaccountable monarchy that stretches back to the barons and serfs. This 'United Kingdom' is on its arse because it is not a sustainable model of operation.

The Celts want out and I want out with them. This union of unequals is squeezing the life and language out of Wales and we are obliged to humour the rump of the Conservative Party as the official opposition in Wales. Many people on these islands are exhausted after Brexit, Covid Lockdown, the Gaza Genocide. Being forced to watch our Israeli Paymasters obliterate a race of people in the name of revenge and a land grab because our ancestors had stuck their name to British Mandated Palestine. We haven't suffered like the people of Gaza have suffered and now the citizens of the West Bank but when you are forced to watch through BBC propaganda then you become complicit in the terror. You become responsible because of your own impotence. 

I curse the Conservatives.
