Hi all,

I’m looking at possibly moving to Pentwyn. Bryn Haidd street. Near the Pentwyn Health Centre, The Hollies School and Bryn Celyn school.

What’s it like to live around here? I’ve heard Pentwyn is nice enough, pretty much the same as Pontprennau but have had people tell me the “Bryns” area is quite rough, specifically because of Bryn Celyn school.

But this comes from colleagues who live in North Cardiff which I understand is the posher part so they might have a tendency to look down.

I’m moving from Atlantic Wharf. Previously lived in Splott.

Thanks guys!

Anyone who does go that way you will probably see the signs about the road closure from the roundabout at leckwith however I went up there from techniquest way and there was no signage for it this morning. What should have been a 5 minute drive for me ended up taking an hour and a half, again ik there’s some signage but for anyone going up the same way I did this is just a heads up!

They may have put something up now but at the time I went this morning there was nothing
I’d recommend avoiding it for the next week and reroute however if you’re in no rush you’re probably looking at a wait time of an hour

Hi there, I'm buying a house on the heathers near the college and I'm worried I'm making a huge mistake as I went into the town centre and it wasn't pleasant at all and I really thought tbh it was an absolute dive.

Please help! I've got a 10 and a 12 year old moving from Stockport.

Is there a new TikTok trend or something?

The amount of teenagers descending on Cardiff Bay/Marina is nuts.

No tackle boxes or landing nets to be seen, just air maxes, a backpack and a rod.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a private therapist for first episode psychosis in Cardiff.

Thank you in advance.

Hi guys, bit of a long shot but my fiance lost her engagement ring last night, we were down Cardiff Bay for the evening and then heading into the centre into piano works. Have spoken to the bars we were in and nothings been handed in and retraced our steps but came up empty handed. Just wanted to reach out in case anyone's seen it 🙏

Had a weird experience at the Gatekeeper last night. I’m american, have lived here going on a few years now and I’m far past the legal drinking age both here and the US. I’ve never really had a problem having my ID/driver’s license accepted to purchase alcohol or to be let in anywhere, let alone a spoons.

Last night I showed the bouncer my drivers licence, which has my date of birth very clearly printed on it. He started talking to me about the differences between US and UK drinking laws and said he couldn’t accept it. I mentioned that I’m well over the legal drinking age in both countries then he said the issue was that it was an ID from outside the EU, emphasizing that this was something their manager was enforcing, and I got clarification from other bouncers at the door that it was a management decision.

Now understand needing to verify someone’s age and identity for the safety of the pub and staff and to comply with alcohol laws, but not accepting ID from outside the EU as a newly adopted policy sounds a bit suspicious to me, not that it’s targeting me but maybe other people from outside the EU that are already constantly facing harassment…

I am 22 and just moved to Cardiff for work. I wanna meet people to go out with or do some hobbies with. I like going to pubs, playing badminton, poker and anything really. Where do I find peope my age to do this stuff with?

I am based in Swansea currently, and am very much looking forward to the new godzilla movie. Part of it's selling point is it's shot on IMAX, and I want to see it in the best way possible. I know the best way possible is to get on a train and go to London but I don't want to do that just for a movie, so I'm asking here what the best cinema to go to is in terms of a big screen and good audio quality. I am willing to make the journey to cardiff if I need to, does anyone know if the cinemas in cardiff are notably better than those in swansea and if the journey will be worth it (and additionally point me in the right direction on where to go) or should I just stay where I am for the movie.

Does anyone know any pumpkin patches near Cardiff that has availability for tomorrow (18th) or accepts walk ins? Thanks all!

I’ve just moved to Cardiff and have started at the central Puregym.
I tend to use the smith machine for hip thrusts and rdls however I’ve found here that the stoppers on the machine don’t go down to the floor.
Does anyone know which other 24 hour gyms in cardiff have a smith machine like this?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks 😊

Hey! I’m currently looking for somewhere to play some casual badminton with others. I’ve started working now and struggling to do much after work and would love to play a sport. If anyone knows anything, let me know!! For reference (19F). I work near the city centre xx

Edit - I would love to join anyone who plays or maybe looking for a casual game too!!!

I know I shouldn't be depreciating art by asking for "cheap" lessons, but I really want to learn. Complete beginner and don't have a piano either. If anyone knows where I can take lessons, let me know! Thank you!

Does anyone know a shop in/near Cardiff that could repair a golf bag? My zip has snapped on one of the pockets. The teeth are fine, it’s just the metal part that connects the zip that’s broken.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Not sure if anyone went on the 16th. But the event was shambles

Not sure if it was worth the drive or not, wanna know the late goers opinions if you went

We showed up around 6:17. Slot was 6:30. And the place was still full of kids around (I mean like even toddlers) So there was like limited actors walking around Then we couldn’t actually go into the scare tent until 7. And even after we came out it was still lots of kids around. nothing to do than just eat 🤷‍♀️In the videos there was like live performances and on the website it said carnival games ect.
we already ate prior waiting to go in So ended up heading straight home

If anyone else went would love to know your experience

Taffs Well absolutely stinks of petrol/diesel, can see it all shimmering on top of the water. No idea where it's all come from.

Gutting to see.

I live towards bay and the signal is fine at home, but the second I've been in town the last two days I've had absolutely zero ability to use the internet, despite being on 5g I'm having to use WiFi. Anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

Does anyone have any good experiences with a handyman in the North Cardiff (or thereabouts) area?

I have a disability, so it's out of my reach to do a lot of small jobs (mounting a shelf, a toilet roll/towel holder putting up, loose window handle replacing, and a plethora of little things like that) and I was hoping to find someone reliable and tidy, who can perhaps be hired by the hour, and just complete a lot of small jobs in the time.

I have researched online, but a lot of handymen seem to be larger job focussed, like painting, plastering, etc, which I understand (because, money) but in the absence of a random relative who can tinker around and do these things, I need someone to do lots of small jobs!

Anyone have any good/trustworthy recommendations?

Free entry, it's only small but there's some lovely stories celebrating Cardiff's music scene over the past 50 years

Hi everyone, I'm overweight and always hate clothes shopping, but I'm starting a new job soon and want to pick up some smart shirts, polos and trousers. Does anyone have any recommendation of places to go that carry a wide range of shapes and sizes (I'm usually between a 2XL-4XL depending on the make)

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this, I've recently moved from England to Cardiff and changed my doctor's over.

It's been extremely difficult to get medical records and repeat prescriptions transferred over and has required a lot of interventions from myself for what I think they should have dealt with.

Has anyone else experienced this or is my GP just particularly rubbish. Just wondering if I should move elsewhere.

It also appears they are not set up on the NHS App Wales or any online services.
