To be fair that development of a hotel has saved a building that the council didn’t give a fuck about. That’s the real travesty!

ffs!
The ECB (not E&WCB) has paid Glamorgan cricket club off to not bid for test matches! on top of Cardiff Council writing off £4.4million
Council will not chase cricket club debt

A city with heart: the insider's guide to Cardiff

I read that earlier and it made me sad

For a capital city to have so little going on is pretty shit

There's shit loads going on. The guide is what's shit.

It's a bit odd, all over the shop and fleeting init!

Cardiff doesn't want or need fucking vibrant Airbnb fucking guides telling fucking Tristan and Harriet what is so lovely about it. I'd rather have fucking nothing of interest to that sort of demographic going on than suddenly get overrun and ultimately have people chased out of areas by that hipster shit.

Nah. Fuck the guardian and its guides but Cardiff is in massive need of more gigs and club nights.

Nobody ever plays here, and the nightlife after last orders is nonexistent.

Twatty guides help with this how exactly? Cardiff is set up by the council etc to be event central and it doesn't help interesting stuff and gigs happen in any way

I didn't say they do help, I don't know what part of 'fuck the guardian and its guides' made you think that I do. I just found it a bit sad the amount of people yesterday mentioning the guide and how great it was, when the writer did fuck all, because there's fuck all to do.

You're right to blame the council, which looks to favour property developers over culture every time. Yet there hasn't been much going on in regards to nightlife in Cardiff for years, and that doesn't look like changing.

You have the likes of Russell Goodway to thank for that:

I didn't realise he was still in a position of power within the council after his demise as chair, but really I should have known better. Cunts like him pretty much always manage to maintain a position of influence.

Last Saturday I was down on the barrage dancing away to a west African band as the sun set behind the open air stage. It was fucking great

Who cares what the guide says!

Yep, shit really does float to the top. Welsh Labour is so ridden with cronyism and corruption though, naff all is going to change.

Yes a mate of mine went with his son, said it was fantastic. Wished I'd known about it I guess is was somewhat poorly advertised.

 

[ddraig]

and we paid £3million for that event!
