I feel sorry for Sir Emyr Jones Parry and his team, like Lord Ivor Richard before him he has produced a comprehensive and thorough report on peoples understanding of devolution in Wales and the future of the National Assembly for Wales that will probably end up gathering dust like the 2004 Richard Commission report in a basement in Cathays Park somewhere despite the warm words from the First Minster...

Each year, The Royal British Legion establishes a Field of Remembrance at Westminster, London and Cathays Park, Cardiff.

At [...] Related posts: Remembrance Day 11th November 2 minute silence...

a new opinion on www.dooyoo.co.uk about A Shot In The Dark (Cardiff) written by niknakb Shot in the Dark is a cute little coffee shop situated on City Road in Cardiff. City Road is near the centre of town but also close to residential areas Roath and Cathays which are popular areas for students and young professionals. This makes it a ...

Continued Fr Chris' education in things Cardiffian - and took him to the Old Arcade. He tried a sip of Brains Bitter but went back to his lager! But the mixed grill went down very well. Walked around Cathays Park first and past the castle, he'd seen the Stadium so we went past St John's and along Queen Street to St David's Cathedral, where a lady glared at us when I was whispering to Chris the history...

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/green_flag_award_meetings_and_co#incoming-40045 What do you think of this? I cannot understand this. Why judges for a park award should be kept secret? Cover up so there must be something to hide ? And accusing protester's of misinformation is appalling, the judges should have arranged to meet them and not excepted that as true. Judges told ... Protesters "refused...

Waste disposal in Cardiff is not what one would wish for a modern capital city. Especially in the low rent student area where I lived, Cathays, garbage day presents some problems. Bags are not collected until late at night, bins are not used at all, bags are piled high on the narrow sidewalks in front of houses, and the discount brand black bags provided by the council tear easily. The first time I...

If you are one of those types who buy punk anthologies then you’ll be familiar with Do the Standing Still by The Table, which is now regarded as something of a weird classic. The above photograph shows them in early 1977 when their debut single was released. The Table hailed from Cardiff. The driving force behind the band were Russell Young and Tony Barnes who’d met at Cathays High School...

Inside Out is a collection of 11 accounts of life inside Parc Prison, Bridgend. More interestingly, these young narrators attempt to explain how they strayed from the straight and narrow and ended up over-the-wall. Nathan from Tiger Bay, for example, wrestles with his past life: "But somewhere along the line something went wrong. Me." Their journeys are varied. Aron is an ex-Welsh Guard who...

If you drive past Transport House these days - Labour HQ - and if you believe in pathetic fallacy, then take a good look at the building. If you've ever been to a rugby match in Cardiff, whether in the days of the Arms Park or the Millennium Stadium, you'll know the office block I mean. It's the one opposite the Westgate pub, just where the police prevent you from driving into town on match days,...
