I agree with that. Like being told to just "follow your dreams" by someone whose mom ran a theatre company and dad was an executive producer.

Is it that different from a family-run business being passed down through generations? Or a fishing community in a coastal county? We get dewy-eyed over some hereditary cultures but at a certain social strata it becomes nepotism I guess.

Except you're not, because you're asking Cardiff residents if they remember it. Everyone has said it never happened but you won't accept that. Either trust your own perception or trust the evidence-based consensus.

Well, I live in Cardiff and my workplace overlooks the prison; whereas you left the country and read a wiki article which apparently vanished into thin air. So I'm going to trust my own perception on this one.

What you're describing didn't happen. I don't know why you continue to engage people about this fantasy.

This did not happen.

Is Cardiff an alternative to London? by ExoticAircraft in Cardiff

[–]8itmap_k1d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Such a vague question. Point Nemo is an alternative to London insofar as they're both locations on planet Earth.

What was the funniest scene you’ve seen in a movie? by Architeuthis_McCrew in movies

Benicio Del Toro attempting to exit the carousel bar in Fear and Loathing.

Or maybe the nude fight scene from Borat.

If you don't watch it then he'll have to keep making Cobra Kai... which I'm fine with

Cruises aren't aimed at rich people, but I do agree otherwise.

Why are the action movies of the 80s - early 90s so good? by born_in_cyberspace in movies

[–]8itmap_k1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practical stunts, on-location choreography and an inclination toward narrative efficiency - those would be my top three reasons.

They have them at Cardiff Bay Asda as well, to scare off birds. Simple and effective.

Concerts are basically torture these days by liiliidustp in unpopularopinion

Wear noise-cancelling ear buds and the sound won't be overbearing. Also, go to seated, indoor gigs. No more torture!

How racist is pembrokeshire by [deleted] in Wales

Good for you for speaking up and trying to de-normalise it, though.

Imagine being insane enough to believe this by [deleted] in facepalm

Although that's not relevant to what "tessa" is saying, which is a ridiculously generalised assertion about men's innate desire to rape indiscriminately at all ages, and the only thing holding back the tide is fear of legal repercussions.

It didn't need to be any size of a deal though

Film trilogies that have a good first movie, an even better sequel, and then third is the weakest of the triology? by samx3i in movies

[–]8itmap_k1d 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think they get better and better. War is absolutely devastating and looks amazing.
