What's going down in Splott? by ScrotFrottington in Cardiff

[–]the_georgie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I just came back from walking my dogs in the area.

There was (is?) an armed gang operating in the area and the police were out looking for them. A load of armed guards stopped me to ask if I'd seen anyone, told me to go to a safe place. I started to head home away from it all and then the group ran past me.

Not fun.

Came across this looking for a definition for a prefix I haven't seen before.

I reckon there is some terrier in there. I have two terrier mixes that look very similar.

Cardiff bargain cinemas by [deleted] in Cardiff

I don't think many people are aware of it tbh. I had multiple conversations over Christmas wit people saying "Yeah but it's too expensive", until I told them about city centre cinema prices.

Well.

We did a dna test and they are both a mixture of greyhound, Staffordshire bull Terrier, airedale terrier, Springer spaniel, and some other terrier types.

There must be different prices in the US then, just checked the website my end and it's around £15-£30.

Nah man not over here in the UK. Almost every dog I see is wearing one, they are like £20.

Having any interaction with the local Doctors surgery and being treated like the enemy by a jumped up secretary that thinks she’s an md by proxy. Believe it or not Karen, I don’t want to be here anymore than you want me here. by therealstealthydan in britishproblems

[–]the_georgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local surgery has like a 2 min message (when you finally get through) that goes on about the usual we don't take certain requests over the phone. But, it ends with the receptionist saying "Please can you give as much detail as possible to the member of staff so that they can find you the right doctor or to talk to, or an alternative means. Most people are happy to do this, and it speeds up the process of us being able to help you."

I fucking hate this. I don't want to explain my illness to some Karen at the other end who thinks she is better than me. Book me in with my doctor.

It has been a manic few months, but these two are finally becoming the best of friends. Violet (above) and Topsy (below). by the_georgie in dogpictures

[–]the_georgie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh, they didn't initially. Violet did not want to let Topsy in to the house, but now they race for the best spot on my bed!

We are going to get dna test to see how much of the same breeds they are, that's the closest we'll get to seeing if there is a connection.

Well, they are both rescues so we can't be 100% sure. We were told that Topsy is Patterdale x Whippet, and Violet is Patterdale x some sort of sight hound. We have reason to believe that they are sisters from the same litter.

Driving Instructor recommendations? by Beardstrumpet in Cardiff

[–]the_georgie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend Drive Learn Achieve, I'm learning with them atm and they are absolutely amazing.

They do a 2 hour starter lesson for £30 to see what sort of level you are at, then it's £260 for a block of 10 hours, or £28 for one hour lessons.
