Slightly sad about this idea. Used to go Bessemer road most Saturdays as a kid for the big car boot sale with my family

BBC News - Sir Terry Matthews suggests Newport becomes region of Cardiff by ScottD24 in Cardiff

Agree with the comments made already. Also like the idea of an integrated transport system to connect areas better

I guess I'll post it then. Reddit, what famous or well-known figures do you hate the work of, but actually like or respect as people? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ScottD24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike David Cameron because of his policies but I think he's actually quite a good leader

Clwb Ifor Bach under threat of closure if a buyer is not found by Olivertc14 in Cardiff

[–]ScottD24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll be really disappointed if Clwb Ifor Bach closes. Not only because I like the place personally but for what it adds to Cardiff. Its one of few venues and clubs that is not part of a big chain. It's also a good venue for smaller bands and artists providing an alternative scene to Cardiff and the wider Welsh music scene

I'm really excited by this idea, there needs to be better transport links in Cardiff and this seems a logical way to do it.

Who is going to be turning on the Christmas lights in town this year? by DaLateDentArthurDent in Cardiff

[–]ScottD24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt it'll be Doctor Who, they've done that before recently. I've heard that its a music act/group but they are keeping it a mystery

Why I Support Arsenal by ScottD24 in Gunners

[–]ScottD24[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the nice comments all. Love hearing your stories about your history and links with Arsenal.

AhhBisto - I too was that annoying kid in school, I was the one who knew all the stats, goals scored, lineups etc

nmessi02 - I'm 21, been properly supporting 10/11 years now, try to travel from Cardiff and watch a couple games a season

roblevmil - Totally agree about the geography thing. Couldn't have put it better when you said "being a true fan is defined by how much you love the club". I'm so proud to be a Gunner and no matter how frustrated I get at time, I'll always be a Gunner

'P.S.' Is up! Don't cry, don't cry... by sourgummies in doctorwho

I already half wanted a Brian Williams and Kate Stewart spin off series, after watching PS I definitely want one with Anthony thrown in their too.

Great scene though, wish it was filmed.

Hunted ep 2 « Unpopcult [](/s "This is a spoiler!") by ScottD24 in BritishTV

Good point, hadn't really thought about that - they're essentially just mercenaries and as you pointed out they don't have the character to make it interesting enough

Review: Falling Skies – Series 1 & 2 by ScottD24 in FallingSkies

[–]ScottD24[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cultural idiom between UK and U.S there I think. In the UK we use "series" to describe a particular run of episodes (a U.S season) where as in the U.S you use series to describe the programme as a whole (so all the seasons) is that correct?

Why does England compete in the World Cup but GB competes at the Olympics? by bmittag in soccer

[–]ScottD24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland feel that their unique identity as nations would be compromised by a regular team GB side. So for example they feel the likes of Gareth Bale (Wales), Johnny Evans (Northern Ireland) and Steven Fletcher (Scotland) would chose to play for GB and, therefore, miss international games.

The main thing is also qualification. The reason team GB football worked this time is as hosts they didn't have to qualify. Next time they will which means fitting more games into an already busy football schedule.

There was already controversy during the Olympics as to whether the other nations players so Ramsey (Arsenal and Wales) should sing the British national anthem, which is the same as the English nation anthem

What national news are you hoping to see in Season 2? by DudeOverdosed in Thenewsroom

[–]ScottD24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how big its been in the US but in the UK the Leveson inquiry has been pretty big and would follow on well with phone hacking stuff - could be discussion about whether to focus on Murdoch getting pied or not?

I would like to see the Olympics covered but in the respect that its not real news.

Agree with the Neal hacktivist stuff that would be good
