I am bored in Cardiff Bay and am going for a beer in the bar next door (Eli ????).

Anyone on here local and fancy joining me for a beer?

Any other pubs in walking distance worth visiting?

The glamour of business travel, eh? 😉

I've got a week of it coming up as well. Slightly nicer part of the world than Cardiff, though....! 😉

Ah, WCA I've been down in Cardiff for the last couple of days so could have joined you last night but back home again now.

Can recommend Gio's Italian near the central train station ... but not sure if you'd appreciate the rather charming waiter as much as I did 🙂

Off to Hong Kong a week on Friday, WCA....Then Singapore. 🙂

Still, you can't get a pint of Brains in Wan Chai. Not even for ready money. 😉

Great. I get a sexy Italian waiter and you get food poisoning. I am off to the bar. I will monitor this on my phone.

If anyone does wander down then I am the lonely looking bloke talking about the Big Bike Bash to anyone who can't run away quick enough.

I will probably be on the Duval as I don't like their tap beer so you had better hurry.

Duvel?

Later posts from WCA could be amusing!

3 down already while eating the pizza. That's why I returned to my room for a glass of water and a short rest

WCA don't forget to get me my usual Tourist Tat while you're there! 😀

Do they do little models of the Senedd?

Disgraceful. Can the poor bloke not do his job without being objectified by leering women? 😐

I'll be there next week, can you wait? 😉

This week I am mostly in Manchester/Altringham/Stockport!

Last week was spent covering the whole of Ireland...

Actually Trailmonkeys right, straight out onto the Taff trail and up into the valleys! IIRC..

Me ... leer? Never 🙂 It's aesthetic appreciation of form surely? And you're one of the biggest proponents of that ..

Damned fine pizza though!

Oh, and the Senedd was as stunning as ever. Quite like the government buildings up in Cathays Park as well (even if they are over zealous in their scanning and x-raying - frankly who on earth is going to be interested in blowing up the Welsh civil service? Although, mind you, I have often been tempted ...)

Then, right:

Off to Hong Kong a week on Friday, WCA....Then Singapore.

Why are Hong Kong and Singapore necessarily 'nicer' than Cardiff?

Bully; you promised to meet up for a beer last week but then I heard nothing.

I'm too upset. 😥

Bullheart - I don't think my legs and liver could take another team ride, sorry.

We are trying to get a Team Bullheart Beer at the Big Bike Bash with a contribution from every pint going your way. Rob the Brewers idea, fully endorsed by me.

Just shut the bar I was in so back for a pee and glass of water before checking out the nightlife*

*or going to sleep as I am old and alone

Elf - So you don't need a lift or a team-place? ❓

Oddly enough, I was in Cardiff today, and spent most of the afternoon whiling away the time sitting out on the waterfront by the bay! Had a very nice time too...

Sadly I had to leave a couple of hours before you posted on here though, otherwise I'd have joined you...
