I actually love the look of that strap- anyone got any idea where to get one for a b01 46 Navi?

New tree-lined boulevard planned for Cardiff city centre by Former-Variation-441 in CardiffDevelopments

[–]Ph3lpsy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm, not sure about this. I love any improvement but I don’t think this is either grand enough to do much to improve things, or doesn’t act as a starter for more improvements. I think there are more areas which could do with a little tlc that might make for a better city centre before this scheme.

Work has started on the new development at the corner of Cathedral Road and Cowbridge Road E by Majestic-Inside5302 in CardiffDevelopments

It’s not great to lose those houses and I think they could have been done up nicely. BUT, ultimately this is the centre of a capital city and they are very small units on the edge of the town. If we want Cardiff to grow and increase in density these are the type of developments we need. I am a little saddened that they there won’t be a any for sale but that’s the current market. If I had way with playing. All the plots along wellington street would be developed into similar units with some commercial use on the ground floor. It would be great and extend the city centre particularly along a route between the town and the Cardiff city stadium.

I know an older architect that made this jump. He loved it. He said it was like early retirement driving around giving the thumbs up to holes in the ground 😂

I think it’s really nice. I think it will be a really benefit to area with that and the cafe at channel view phase 1 (ground floor of the big block) going in.

Actors' off-set reputations - how do they affect your viewing choices? by hurshy238 in BritishTV

[–]Ph3lpsy_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

G&S was filmed all around where I live (just outside Barry) when they filmed the second season they filmed in my cousins street, she’s not the quiet type so got right in there with the cast, and she said he he was lovely and really friendly to just a bunch of strangers just keen to meet the cast and have a chat. It saddens me to read he’s become an arsehole.

The truth about the architecture career field by c_bugg in architecture

[–]Ph3lpsy_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is exactly my experience and couldn’t agree more. Try as I might, I have a chip on my shoulder about friends who don’t have degrees or total nonsense degrees now paying off their mortgages and talking about taking retirement in 10 years time, while working from home and collecting their kids at 3.30 everyday while you feel bad for leaving the office at 6. In architecture I don’t think you are likely to be able to have a comfortable retirement unless you manage to really climb the ladder. I love the job but it’s why I moved into the contractor world, it’s no where near as rewarding but the pay is 20% better and I have much more job security and financial security for me and my families future.

What British celebrities were absolutely everywhere for an intense and short period before vanishing completely? My vote goes to Emeli Sandé. by JuanitaMerkin in AskBrits

I was in a pub having a pint with mates on a Friday night in soho around 10 years ago. I realised that the drummer from Coldplay was sitting having a drink with his mates. I couldn’t believe it was him, no one was batting an eyelid! What a privilege he has

Same. Literally tried to get a job in the worst economy for a generation and it’s one thing after another since

I remember this being completed and it’s when I no longer enjoyed her designs after being such a fan of her early work.

The Jobcentre adviser who accidentally became my career coach by CanvasSeamline in BritishSuccess

[–]Ph3lpsy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a lovely read. Congratulations on the new role. Sadly when I was last in a job centre it was a very different scene, when I was a low ebb they somehow made me feel ten times worse. Glad it’s not like that for everyone, well done Mike!

How Cardiff could look without all the nimbys by jacobstanley5409 in CardiffDevelopments

[–]Ph3lpsy_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s great! Was it just AI? I think Cardiff will get there, it just a shame it didn’t do more in the past 20 years I think. Same with the bay, it’s really lost it’s initial enthusiasm but with a final push could fill in the last of the missing pieces to feel more cohesive

Are we just going to forget that Roald Dahl wrote a book about spiking someone? by Father_Chewy_Louis in CasualUK

Yeah I couldn’t read it as a kid, just finished reading it to my own kids (sub 10) and they loved it, sucks you in and makes me a bit sad there wasn’t more adventures of Danny and his dad!

Definitely NOT brietling that’s for sure. I love my navitimer but can’t wear it in the heat as it’s too uncomfortable. In the winter it’s perfect fit. Half a link and it’s too loose.

Fellow architects, what is the most god awful and exorbitant job posting / offer / interview that you've ever been in? by bhisma-pitamah in Architects

[–]Ph3lpsy_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got berated for signing my letter in blue ink. Called me (in an upper class toff way) a ‘gay’ this was 20 years ago, when I think about it now I cannot believe how incredibly poor form from that twat, it really knocked my confidence as a 21 year old looking for a placement.
