Cardiff chitter-chatter, news and more

Motorists really are the worst people. What other group would complain about being caught committing a life-endangering crime?

Entitled pricks.
 
video of secret 13th century tunnel in city centre around Greyfriars rd
http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/fascinating-video-shows-lost-underground-7889026
Simon Fenoulhet believes that the tunnel may be related to a 13th century friary that once stood where the city centre is now.

He is reluctant to reveal its precise location, although he said it is in the Greyfrairs Road area.

Mr Fenoulhet, one of the Cardiff Contemporary festival’s artists in residence, has embarked on exploring the parts of Cardiff not normally seen above ground.

The artist is aiming to create an alternative map of the city linked to markers above ground for people on the streets to discover what lies beneath their feet.

will check it out :) the "head thing" is a form of painting with oils in 3d - skilful for sure but i'd need to see it in the flesh to decide if i actually like it or not...
 
yea looked at one of the artist's videos earlier :cool:
simple flower in 2 and a half mins!
 
Not sure if anyone knows the exact area, but there's proposed building of MORE flats in Cardiff bay, this time around the old Hamadryad hospital. It's a lovely green belt rammed full of trees and shrubbery and be a real shame to have it flattened. If anyone fancies objecting, you can email the council - details of how and what are here

There's also a Facebook group set up to object to the planning application: Cardiff South Docks
 
“The area covered by the safety grilles are not hot air vents but boiler flue vents that can potentially produce products of combustion - diluted amounts of carbon monoxide being one of these - as part of the diluted boiler flue gases,”
 
yes
are they endangering everyone going past and in the building above then?
obviously it is a business etc
 
You wont have an issue walking past, but sleeping there all night breathing in the fumes would be an issuse.

assuming they have have some sort of heating running over night or reason for the boilers to be running.
 
It's like people who take a BBQ into a tent when camping to keep warm, then they wake up dead.
