Motor vehicles of any kind with stupidly loud exhausts are just plain anti social. And that includes motorcycles as well as Corsas or Fiestas that go poppity pop and sound like the timing is bolloxed. Just liked by arseholes.

No motorcyclists, loud pipes don't save lives. You're confusing them with sticking to the fucking speed limit.

What are you afraid of? Sharks🦈, lions🦁,bears🐻? Terrifying. Car traffic kills way more people than animals ever could. Even when excluding indirect harm. Watch out for the real predators🚗!

Love the work @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social are doing across the UK. Not only buying the buildings that gig venues exist in to give them a landlord that will secure their future - but also helping to improve and future-proof the venues too. Great work MVT 💪🏻

21st October 1966, 9.13am. The clock stopped permanently, just like the 144 lives - including 116 children - extinguished. All due to the greed, callous indifference and negligence that ignored warnings and let the disaster happen. Not a single person was ever prosecuted. Cofiwch Aberfan 💔

“Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “Edward the Confessor’s dead?” “Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “What about Harald Hardrada?” “He’s dead, Dave. Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “Not King Harold?” “Yes, Dave. King Harold’s dead, Dave. Everybody is dead, Dave.”

Cardiff people - any recommendations for food within easy reach of Penarth Road (so basically Grangetown)? Matsudai Ramen & Veg Food Studio the two that spring to mind but any others to look out for?

Under pressure Deliveroo calls for a ban on ‘e-bike’ conversion kits - will run speed checks on vehicles through its app and ban regular offenders. Good to see the heat being applied is having an effect on bringing about some responsibility: www.cyclingelectric.com/news/deliver...

Out in a regular non descript bar in Cardiff and “Yes” by the Manics came on. Now on the train home and revisiting The Holy Bible album and suddenly I’m 18 again

I’ll start by saying that the shortlist for this was great & we’re very lucky to have such a diverse & interesting music scene in Cymru Now I own or listened to most of the shortlist and the winner wouldn’t have made my top 5. Disappointed to see such a “safe” choice from some truly great albums

Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

What's happening here? Maybe something changed part way through 2023 on urban/residential 30mph roads! I wonder if it could be that from Sep 17th 2023 95% of roads with a 30mph limit were changed to 20mph. #20splenty making your place an even better, safer, quieter, fairer place to be!

Got a parcel coming from Swansea to us here in Newport. It's been sent via Coventry. 250 road miles instead of 50. Do Parcelforce not have a distribution depot in South Wales?
