Seems like I might have a new job in Cardiff, doing a variation of the same role. Just wondering do any of you lads know about the cost of living in Cardiff, what rents are like down there, where is the best place to live (would like to live close to the city centre), is it good for going out (have been there and it was good that night). Whats the transport links to Ireland like (especially the West).
So any views good bad or otherwise on Cardiff or any help on my questions.
plenty of work in russia... :D ;)

I think I would need to move to what they used call West Wales (Cornwall) for that to ring true ;)
There are more people of Irish descent in Britain than in Ireland ::)
Cheap as chips to live there............. if you are on good money. Salaries by and large are well down on what you would get in Ireland. Saturday nights are mayhem........... trouble everywhere.
It's full of Welsh people.

About 1hr from Bristol & direct flights to Knock from there.
As long as it's an internal black spot area, I hope you make a permanent success at establishing your roots there.
There's already 1 gay in that village :D
At last revenge for Strongbow
Mayo u won't be allowed to bring your sheep with u but u can get another one over there and it won't be cheating as its a different post code (area code).
On a serious note...give it a lash. whats the worst can happen
Mayo it's a great city you'll love it. I lived there for years and i lived in the Roath area, i lived in a fair few cities and Cardiff was my fav. People are a good laugh, lots to do, not too expensive, loads of good boozers, lots of clubs and restaurants. Just a good mix and if you're single you won't be for long.

In trucks?
No with sticks, it was the last great "welsh" drive west that the english undertook.
Why do the welsh like the English?

Any Welsh I've spoken to in the past have either been apathetic towards the English or have disliked them, no great love there at all.

Was going to say the same. I thought that was actually a typo. As far as I know the Welsh supporters in soccer have a right 'boo' when GSTQ is played.
Always came across to me that the Anglo-Irish and Anglo-Scot relations were more bitter and Welsh nationalism was always quite soft. Must be wrong.

No that would be my reading of it as well, it's just that the Welsh are happy with there lot regarding independence, status quo suits them, but they dislike the English because of the way the English treat them (attitudes, slagging, disdain etc...) like their backward, sheep shaggers, thick etc... imo anyway

I found the Welsh to be more vocal about disliking the English and quicker to say so. The Scots and Irish tend to keep their powder dry until they get drunk and then it can get a bit messy. I think the Irish and Scots tend to mean it more, while for the Welsh v English its more of a slagging thing. I also noticed both here in England and in Australia that Nationalists, Unionists and people from the Republic tend to be united when they slagging off the English.

Any Welsh I've met weren't too keen on the English
So what is Cardiff like to live and work in?
