Cardiff chitter-chatter, news and more

[la ressistance]

Anyone know where to find a good knife sharpener in town centre? Is there anywhere in the market that does it?

 

[teqniq]

Does that shoe repair place just inside the St Mary's St entrance do that? Not Timpsons the one actually inside, might be worth an ask.

 

[ddraig]

was going to suggest that one

 

[la ressistance]

Cheers, ill give them a try.

 

[la ressistance]

Just rang them. Theyre called yan and sons.

They do knife sharpening on certain days when the knife guy is in. Gonna pop in Saturday.

And here's what varsity actually is (it's still news to me!)

Join over 30,000 students in front row seats at the Millennium Stadium, watching the future stars of international rugby do battle to bring home the Varsity Cup.

Players have gone on to play for the Cardiff Blues, Ospreys, Llanelli Scarlets and even internationally for Wales.

Varsity is a fun packed day with live broadcasts from Cardiff's Xpress and Swansea’s Xtreme student radio stations. They provide much needed banter to get everyone in the mood.

Once inside the Millennium Stadium we promise the best warm up acts and pitch the best dance off ever between Cardiff's Snake Charmers and the Swansea Sirens at half time.
