    Someone from Cardiff won the Lanterne Rouge last year. How quick you forget.

    TBF, this was more a joke at the expense of Cardiff on a Saturday night. Once and never again...

    Really? Cardiff is sophisticated in comparison to Swansea or Newport!

    This is..... well let me find a metaphor that might work.....

    If you go to your performance review and the boss tells you you haven't met any of your targets and you've performed badly in every respect, and you reply "yes, but I didn't drop my trousers and crap on the reception desk, or send hard core porn to our entire customer mailing list"
    It's something like that.

    I'm guessing you went to the top end of St Mary's Street. It's a little calmer these days - but it used to be stag/hen do central. Absolute carnage. Around that time a Polish student produced a book of photos taken around that time - it made Time Magazine's list of the best photography books of that year.
