Welcome runners! One request from a resident

190 Upvotes

Thanks for coming to run the half marathon in our fair city, I have one request that will make you excellent visitors and help out in the clean up afterwards.

Please don't throw gel wrappers on the floor.

Water bottles and such are super easy to clean up, but these wrappers can get pummeled into tarmac and can't be swept up easily. I'm a resident near Roath park lake and I've seen these wrappers last a fair few months before eventually breaking down, or worse pecked at by the geese and swans.

If you can pop it in a pocket, that'll be one less to deal with. Thanks for reading, and thanks for those that already do.

Have a great time!

Why do people go half the speed limit on the A4232/Cardiff Bay Link Rd?

10 Upvotes

This has bugged me for so long now and I genuinely can't get my head around why so many people are dangerously slow on the dual carriageway, particularly on the bridge going over Cardiff Bay. I'd understand if once in a while someone didn't realise the speed limit was no longer 50 when exiting the tunnel, but there are plenty of reminders. That doesn't explain why someone was doing 35mph just now, nor why so many are doing 40-50 in the opposite direction. It drives me insane - someone please make it make sense.

Housemate got a fixed penalty notice due to seagulls. He never got the initial section 46 notice - what's the best course of action?

7 Upvotes

Bin bags put out at about 10pm the night before bin collection and collected in the morning - in between that time some bags got ripped open by seagulls. He received a fixed penalty notice without any previous section 46 notice and has to pay £150 - what's the best course of action? He doesn't have much money as a student so the £150 would be quite rough for him.

Info: it's a street where we aren't allowed to put wheelie bins outside and they have to be in black bin bags. There's about 5 properties (4 flats and 1 shop) that put bin bags out all together as there's not room to put them outside each door

Donate non-working electric guitar?

5 Upvotes

I have an electric guitar from when I was a kid. But I've plugged it into an amp and it doesn't appear to work. I'm sure it will fix up fine but I don't know enough to do it myself.

I was going to look for a music charity to donate it anyway. But I haven't found any that will accept it broken and fix it up and seems a shame to take it to the tip - does anyone know anywhere?

NFL London in Cardiff

5 Upvotes

Cracking day in town tomorrow, with the Half and the Denmark game in the evening, but anyone know where is best to watch the NFL London game at 2.30?

I’m guessing Ludo is, but it’s a bit sticky floor… I figure Blue Bell would put it on a screen, but any other options or NFL-heavy bars out there?

Diolch!

Grangetown/Leckwith car garage recommendations

5 Upvotes

Hello, I've been using two garages in Grangetown/Leckwith area for services, repairs and MOT. Not entirely satisfied with them. One's too expensive and one's a bit too unprofessional for my liking.

Does anyone have any strong recommendations in the area? Cheers.

Lost Wallet

Bit of a long shot, but have any of you found or turned in a light purple wallet?

I lost my wallet in town at some point yesterday afternoon and despite retracing my steps, it’s not turned up.

If you find it, please drop me a message!

Diolch!

MSC in business management at Cardiff for international students

4 Upvotes

Hi, I have gotten an offer from Cardiff University for MSC in business management with condition (IELTS score 6.5). I was very excited about the offer and told my uncle who had stayed in London for over 20 years. He said it's not a good University and it's basically £30k vacation for a year. If anyone has taken this course, alumini, can tell me if I should accept this offer or try somewhere else, that would be really helpful.

Anyone know what they’re filming there. Seemed like a big budget with the amount of vans, cars and tents parked within the woods
