First week without the bus station. Anyone changed to get across town yet?

 

[teqniq]

I have to travel on the buses as part of my job. Chaos in town this morning fair few passengers complaining they didn't know where their bus was going from and nor did the drivers they asked. I had better luck found our bus straightaway must have asked the right driver.

Spotted in the pouring rain this morning in the city centre: The OB lifting manhole covers and resealing with those black thingys. Are we to expect a visitation from some VIP or another?

 

[ddraig]

either that or rugby world cup?

 

[ddraig]

probably the fucking Israelis!

 

[teqniq]

Ah yes the footie I forgot about that. There is a demo planned I believe.

I saw the march going down past the castle - I would have been part of it but I'm at work. Impressed that there were people from all over.

My god what idiots.

Do they know about the "Work is Freedom" sign on the gates of Auschwitz where those who got to live were worked to death whilst suffering from disease and malnutrition?
Yeah sure get me a job.

So fucking what!?! Really annoys me that because the government doesn't look after its spent cannon fodder that people are ranting about refugees and how we should "help our own first" whilst doing precisely fuck all other than moan on the internet.
(Not you!)
And if they find out he's not ex forces will he cease to count again???? Grrrrr

 

[Ranbay]

My fear is he's not, someone made it up, then he gets the shit kicked out of him for being a walt......

Do you know where he was sat in the pic? Cheers

 

[Ranbay]

The guy who posted it had now removed it.

They copy and pasted it.

 

[ddraig]

Someone said city rd
Someone else calling him a liar and another saying he's their cousin

 

[Ranbay]

The guy who first posted it sent me this

Homeless charity worker contacted me saying the guy would now like it removed due to personal issues. Respected his wish.

OK coming over to Cardiff for the day on Friday for a funeral. Never been to south Wales before. Is it dangerous?
