I know we have bigger fish to fry but you know if you go to a gig and talk through it you are an absolute tool.
If you are meeting up with friends you’ve not seen in a while: Meet earlier and get it out of your system - while the band is playing SHUT THE FUCK UP

Please. Not even thinking of opening til face masks are mandatory in shops because I don’t want what you may have, thanks.
Horrified how few staff in shops in Cardiff don’t wear masks. All the people they see, negligent behaviour for a business.
Could guidance on the wearing of face masks in Wales be about to change?

Feel alarmed and concerned about how many people pull down masks to converse.
Not to shame, but please consider if you do this because it’s defeating the whole effort of wearing one in the first place.

Boris Johnson is a toxic pile of shit.
He’s not an affable comedy character, he’s a danger to society.
You lied to the public

You used Brexit as a game to advance your own grubby ambitions. How dare you accuse others of condescension or contempt.

Yes, yes We did. David Morgan were our local landlords and thoroughly decent they were!
Our land lords are now a hedge fund company.
But they employ another company to do social media on our behalf.
They charge us to do that from our service charges.
We say thank you. 👍
Did you know that the Hayes side of Morgan Quarter was once home to the first independent department store in Wales, David Morgan? They closed their doors in 2005 after 125 years of trading!

Come and panic buy in spillers.
Get overwhelmed, forget presents and buy YOURSELF the best stack of Christmas listening that you will love.
Or buy gift tokens for everyone.
That’s Christmas 🎄 sorted 💓
