....at getting out of bed in the morning.

From the 19th floor of a tall building in Cardiff, I'd say this national protest has about 500 maximum. Nearly more police escorting than there are students at considerable cost to the taxpayer and probably half are infiltrators from extremist groups only here to cause trouble by reading books whilst protesting.

What do we want? More students!
Why are we here? Er....ummm...you at the back, didn't you have your hand up?

Wow, look at all the sympathy they're getting from those motorists who've been held up while they stroll past. Look, the route is simply lined with kerbstones supporting their protest....

What's all this about then?

I've ceratinly never protested about getting up. And any who do should 'wake up' and smell the Strongbow.

It's just mind over matress if you ask me...

It's been called Capital Tower for a long long time now. The Astoria is gone too. LOL.

I think it was Top Rank then Ritzy's then Astoria then Panama Joes and I think it then became Zeus and now it's Purple or something stupid like that.

They ought to just call them The Fight Club I, II, III and so forth and increase the age limit to 15.

There are now far too many bars and nightclubs here, they're closing David Morgans and they're about to level half of Cardiff to build yet another shopping centre. Phew! We were so running out of shops.....for students to go shopping in just to revert to topic. He he.

I noticed that when I was last visiting.

Cant believe David Morgans is going.

Also cant believe that the Philly is no longer a student/mad pub...

It looks civilised in there these days.
