  1. Re: The 2018 - 2019 Premier Season Match Prediction Thread - BOURNEMOUTH

  3. Re: Yanny or Laurel (warning: not recommendations for new signings)?

    Which, of course, I’ve never actually heard!
  4. Re: Yanny or Laurel (warning: not recommendations for new signings)?

    Well, there was plenty of loud music in the early 80s, has to be said. And just the getting older bit...
  5. Re: Yanny or Laurel (warning: not recommendations for new signings)?

    Yep. A pattern emerging?

    Good thread. Definitely now is the time for positivity. This team has poured energy into this season, and players will be pushing very hard to get into the squad and to keep the strong performances...

    I don’t know the Vulcan in its original location, but it’s (eventually) reappearing at St Fagan’s:

    The Rummer Tavern

    I like the Rummer Tavern, which describes itself as Cardiff’s oldest pub. At the moment it’s closed for refurbishment. Yesterday I walked past, and wasn’t impressed with the new external decor. Shiny...

    Re: Carling is more piss-like than advertised

    It's definitely not one for a session, but this particular porter has an unusual sweetness which marks it out. This is a golden age for beer drinking, in my view: the variety and quality is like...

    They definitely do. I hadn't realised the full range and variety until I visited their brewery. Particularly nice was this:

    Tonight, a small bottle of Wiper and True Winter Palace: a strong, chocolatey, stout. Excellent.

    I like the idea of supporting local beers, and recently toured the new Tiny Rebel brewery in Newport. Excellent. Very knowledgable brewer acted as our enthusiastic guide. They're clearly doing well:...
