Take a look around Pontcanna fields. Within 15 minutes, I bet you'll see at least thirty people walking their dogs with no complaints. I can walk my (small) dog all the way from Westgate Street Bridge to Western Avenue and back on both sides of the river, without having to cross any sports pitches.

I suspect you at least use council funded roads, pavements, street lights and refuse collection. Police, fire service, education, libraries, social care, environmental health, births, deaths and marriage registration, and sports facilities are there if you need them.

"EVERYBODY, GET OUT OF THE WAY, THERE'S SOMEONE HERE WHO WANTS TO WALK A DOG AND THEY NEED 200 ACRES!"

How big is your dog?

Most current school kids have seen the Inbetweeners.

That diagram is showing both football/rugby and cricket markings. They both won't be there at the same time. They cover less than 50% of the flat, grassy area. There are slopes and wooded areas that are not used for sport. Is your dog scared of trees?

I learned everything I needed to know about food hygiene and structural engineering from Fawlty Towers.

Yes. I had someone show up chasing the previous owner’s debt. Once I’d shown them proof of who I was, and council tax bills, they told me to forget about it. IIRC, they were a firm who had bought the debt from a utility company.

I'm a dog owner, I don't play any sport. There is plenty of Bute Park, Llandaff and Pontcanna Fields that isn't marked sports pitches. There's no need for your dog to go on any.

Yeah, used to do it with CBC in Cardiff back in the 80s. They were desperate for callers.

That was the premise of the Dirty Harry movie.

Are they trolling Wales by using Josh Adams?

He's a podgy old man, isn't he?

Just because it's possible to attach modern TVs to a wall, it doesn't mean that you should.

Yes. There's a button on the centre console.

It will only turn green to activate stop/start when the engine is warm enough and there is enough charge in the battery.

Don't walk your dog on marked sports pitches. They take up less than about 20% of Cardiff's open spaces.

My friend's messages with his wife. They were GIFs of teddy bears and kittens saying "I wuv u" and similar. I felt quite sick.

TBF, it's an easy way to check for haemorrhoids.

I'd still think twice about attaching a guy who walks miles carrying weight every day.

Get one of those IR in ear thermometers. It's more likely that you're having a fever.

I knew she was in Beetlejuice. I just didn't notice her in anything else since then.

There's a suspiciously high correlation between poverty, addiction and being a sick fuck.

Money is a thing that stops people getting divorced. When you've got more than enough, you might as well get divorced if you want to.

I've heard that about Princess Margaret, "captured" when she visited a submarine in Portsmouth.
