Some craic on the plane with Sham157. We sat next to a woman Sara from New York, she was about 70. Offered me a bite of her tuna sandwich, don’t think she had realised the innuendo. Roll on Poland. 

"Sara without a H" as she informed whatever poor sod was answering the phone in her accomodation. Was a few rows behind her on way over and heard most of what she had to say.

Seven rows back and I could also hear "Sara without h" 😂

“Yes it’s Sara. S, A, R, A.” LOL

Worse than Dublin?
I would say a lot worse Gang of us in Weatherspoons on Tuesday and one came into the pub and asked us for a few quid. There way more upfront than at home in My view. It's very said and the majority look to be addicts good few of them own Dogs too. Gave one fella a tenner because my heart nearly bled for the man. 
I'm the gaffer whatever I say goes.

Was really surprised at the decline in the city centre over the last few years and, to be fair, it was a bit of a kip.  Must have had 20 people asking for money walking back from the stadium. BBC News Wales reporting a major problem with the drug "spice" in Cardiff. The number of people sleeping in doorways was a real eye opener, and even sleeping in tents in the grounds of the Castle.

On the other hand, Cardiff Bay is well worth a visit. Lots of quality bars and restaurants. More expensive than the city centre, but far more enjoyable. 

Shame to see the city centre the way it is.
Have to say we spent the afternoon down in Cardiff bay which was very good i must say , now the best part was taking  the ferry back to the back of Cardiff castle , super stuff i must say .

I doubt it - they still have to run a bus for the slow boat at 08:05 and I can't see them running two.

Pain in the arse - means a taxi to the port now.


Maybe Morton's would adjust their schedule from Westmoreland Street?

I notice you cant collect tickets for a trainline service at the airport so wondering if there is an alternative? 

I'm on the 6.55 flight into Bristol landing at 8.10. Have a bus booked but would contribute to a  taxi to get to Cardiff faster
