My Diary 1979 will take you on a nostalgic and amusing trip down memory lane, a glimpse of life back then, through the eyes of an 11 year old schoolgirl living on a farm in the South Wales Valleys town of Abertillery. Those born in the 60s and 70s will delight in memories of Alba cassette players, chipmunk crisps, spacedust popping candy, dunkie jackets, cheesecloths, Blue Jeans and Bunty comics, John Craven’s Newsround and weekly updates of the number one chart singles.     1979 was the year Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister, the news was full of the Yorkshire Ripper, the Skylab fell into the Indian Ocean, and Lord Mountbatten was assassinated by an IRA bomb. It was also a time of Kenny Everett, Gary Numan and Ian Dury \u0026amp; the Blockheads. All these and much more is detailed within this diary.      Those living in and around Abertillery will be reminded of Ty’r Graig school and life ‘up the comp’.     Extracts from the diary were first released on Facebook last year, and built up a devoted following. Reactions to it included: ‘My husband and I have laughed aloud, shed the odd tear and been reminded of things we thought were long forgotten.’ ‘It’s been such a pleasure to walk down memory lane with you and your diary.’  ‘Have laughed a lot and commiserated … Brilliant!’ ‘Thanks for a lovely reminder of days gone by.’ and ‘Can’t stop laughing!’","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49634032288017,"sku":"GOR012857225","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49634156085521,"sku":"GOR009998578","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1789015936.jpg?v=1751439533"},{"product_id":"not-the-usual-suspects-book-pamela-jayne-9780999300510","title":"Not the Usual Suspects","description":"Author, Pamela Jayne illustrates how abusers, whom she calls the usual suspects, and their more worldly couterparts, leaders in political culture, misuse their power to get what they want. A domestic violence expert, Jayne explains that the tactics of domestic abusers are all in pursuit of getting more power; the consequences they produce are dire. But other, more powerful people, our purported influencers and leaders, the unusual suspects, use similar tactics and produce similarly awful and widespread consequences. Fortunately, Jayne is experienced in spotting potential abusers; she shares with the reader how to avoid being fooled by an abuser, masquerading as someone altogether innocent. Likewise, she argues that society needs, but clearly lacks, a similar assessment mechanism on a national scale. When the 'wrong' people assume power or gain a wide audience, as they apparently have, all kinds of havoc results and the really bad consequences, yet unseen, will be all but impossible to avoid. To that end she reviews the abuser's beliefs, motivations and effects and outlines major warning signs that we are about to get involved with someone who is guided by abusive power. If it's too late, and as a society we've already gotten ourselves ensnared, she explores how we can get out with the least amount of damage. Jayne believes that just as an abuser renders a home, a place of supposed security, so unsafe that people cannot live there, it is possible that one day none of us will be safe either. When an abusive mindset is in charge, everyone is a at risk. Exposing that abusive mindset, identifying those who carry it, examining its consequences, and considering how we can empower ourselves to fight against it, is job one. The book will appeal to anybody concerned with the state of abusive political leadership today, as well as to people who work in, have experience with, or want to know more about domestic violence, especially how all abusers, get, misuse, maintain and ultimately lose their power.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50370172584209,"sku":"CIN0999300512VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53081862504721,"sku":"NIN9780999300510","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0999300512.jpg?v=1750917152"},{"product_id":"ditch-that-jerk-book-pamela-jayne-9781630267803","title":"Ditch That Jerk","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51041409466641,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041413202193,"sku":"NIN9781630267803","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1630267805.jpg?v=1751213634"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-pamela-jayne.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
