not busy, just me and partner no others with us
they have a policy of no 'hats' after 9 or some bollocks
asked person in charge and they said it was a management decision so not a brains one
i would have agreed if it was for id purposes but they said it was something about being able to see if someone was drunk etc

lol.

I love it when people try to up-sell areas of Cardiff with fancy new names. Canton Village anyone?

I've been floating 'Grange-upon-taff' as a way of boosting my house price, but so far I've been met with derision and apathy. ;)

Newly-opened Ladybird Lounge and Club on Mill Lane was the first to start using the kit in the city.
Owner Gianluca Malacrino volunteered to install the equipment, which is leased from London-firm IDScan Biometrics Limited,to minimise crime risk.“We have already knocked back people with fake IDs, as well as people trying to come in who have been banned from other venues,” the 20-year-old said.“It helps create a more relaxed environment – for me it is a no-brainer. I would love to see it in all the venues in Cardiff. “It would make my life so much easier as we could share information with each other.”

New plans submitted for £60m flats and hotel development in Cardiff Bay.

bayscape-4040704.jpg


I smell wriggling here:
As part of the outline planning permission granted in 2010, Bayscape Ltd must submit plans for affordable housing by September.

Under the revised plans, it is proposed that the Section 106 agreement be amended to allow the affordable housing to be provided off-site in Grangetown or the adjoining wards. The other option is for the developer to make a financial contribution.

I just don't quite get where they intend to find all the rich people from in Wales to fill them. Unless, of course, they're banking on the electrification of the line putting the Diff within commuting range for all the posh south easterners
 
fuckers
always wriggling over section 106 money, the greedy bastards always try and hold on to it and don't do as agreed/promised

I wouldn't mind loads of posh flats (I think high density housing is generally good for cities) if they were affordable.

These type of flats would be great for first time buyers, young couples etc if they were around 60-90k. But they're not. I have no idea why anyone would ever buy one for 160k+ when you can get a perfectly good house in Canton/Grangetown/Splott etc. So I can only assume they're sold to rich buy-to-letters or people who have 'welsh property' as part of a diversified portfolio. :mad:
 
They are going to have to spend a fortune on it, bits of it a literally falling apart. I really hope they go ahead though although it would be great if it could also be kept as a live venue.

crazy dude with a shovel and fighting in Tudor st!

“There was a guy with a shovel in his hand and as I crossed the road the screaming became louder.
“Then, when the man in the car which he had just attacked got out, he started hitting him repeatedly with the shovel.
“The wife then got out of the car, and the next thing I notice was that in her hand was a claw hammer. She went over to them and started trying to pull the man off her husband but couldn’t.”

Veh ambitious:
A MULTI-BILLION pound proposal to expand Cardiff Airport and link it to Heathrow via a new high speed rail line has been submitted to a commission looking at the future of airport hub capacity UK.
The Western Gateway project is one of several schemes being suggested to the Howard Davies Commission, which is due to make its recommendations no later than summer 2015.
Transport specialists and business leaders behind the £23.5bn scheme, which early this year submitted its initial plans to the commission, believe it could solve many of the difficulties foreseen if Heathrow expands on its current site, as well as cutting journey times between Cardiff and central London down to an hour.
