Cwart Mawr bar on sundays showed serie a on espn....because i told them to. Its on campus, most places in town will put on espn if you ask.
I lived in PJM, which is student village over the road from the uni. I lived with my best mate and my ex and some randomers. No bills, No hassle, Internet sorted etc. Its a small town man, house shares aren't something that i saw happening unless it was mates organising it.
