    Boiling hot Clarks pies

    S.A bitter

    Chippy lanes one off the bone

    Being the capital of a great country

    One of the best sports stadiums in the world

    Home of everything Welsh that matters

    thanking the person that got rid of those fecking horrible Orange buses

    Stacks of talent in the City centre

    The way we look after our own when we are away

    my ex girlfreind still sitting on the castle wall

    the sign that says Croeso i Caerdydd when i travel from down west

    Cardiff market

    Splott market

    LLanrumney v Ely at any sport ,lol

    Desmond the gay weather man on telly

    Mams sunday dinner

    Number 10 boot off me dad !!!!

    busy roads and tall buildings

    clubs open till 6am (brill)

    But last but not least my beloved Bluebirds and fantastic supporters .............have i missed anything?

    "One off the bone in Chippy Lane" is open to interpretation.

    Is the "Never Forget you're Welsh" sign still on Ely Bridge? Visited Cardiff City Centre this week for the first time in about 10 years. It's impressive and even Caroline St looked smart. How times have changed!

    I was back in Cardiff for one day last September and couldn't believe the change in the city centre, but it was good to see the "Brains" bridge on what used to be the top end Penarth road. It was the only this bridge that helped me get my bearings when I went there! Didn't recognise the Hayes! What a change and I didn't even realise the orange buses had gone. :(

    Spillers records is still going, amazing. Favourite hang out in the 70s in my punk days but I thought it would have died a noble death by now.

    Yeah, its still going but they moved it from the Hayes into one of the Arcades. Oldest record shop in the world but it didn't fit in with the 'vision' of redevelopment.

    Which arcade have they moved it too? I was gutted the last time I went to The Hayes and saw it was gone.
