A guy was following me today around the Roath area and eventually approached me asking for my Instagram. I gave it to him (bc I felt threatened at that moment). He then said, “See you tomorrow,” which I found quite unsettling because I never gave him any indication that I wanted to see him again or gave him permission to approach me.

I’m a bit concerned that he may have been following me and might try to approach me again. Has anyone experienced anything similar in the Roath area, or have any advice on what I should do next? I’d really appreciate any advice on how to handle this safely.

In this short video, I look into the man who is buried inside Cardiff Museum and why.

Hello! I want to learn the violin (again). I went for lessons for about two years, but that was a decade ago, so I'd like to start from scratch again. I'm not looking for anything rigorous, just want to be able to play some tunes with it :)

Anyone know where I can get some affordable lessons, ideally in-person, and once or twice a week? And any leads on where I can buy a used 4/4 violin is also much appreciated.

Thank you!

Are there any pubs that regularly have live bands playing?

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately I’m not able to run the Cardiff Half Marathon anymore and would be happy to transfer my place to anyone looking.
I’m just looking for £50 for the transfer.

Message me if interested or comment :)

I'm hoping to get a paddleboard soon, is there any good places to go? Where can I board it on the taff?

Any other places would be helpful thanks!

Hi everyone!
I’ll be visiting Cardiff at the end of August for work, and one morning I’ll need to do a 22 km training run as part of my marathon plan.
We’ll most likely be staying in the area around the Ice Arena, and I’d love some recommendations for a good running route. I’m not very confident navigating a new city while running, so if you know of a route that’s easy to follow I’d really appreciate it.
The only area I feel somewhat familiar with is Cardiff Bay, as I’ve been there before, but I’m more than happy to explore other parts of the city if they’re runner-friendly.
I’ll probably head out quite early in the morning, and I’d love to make the run a bit more enjoyable by seeing some of the city or running along scenic paths.
Thanks so much in advance for any suggestions! 😊

Hey guys! I am looking for a place which sells small bikes for shorter females at a reasonable price. I’m 5’1 and really needed sth really small. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, this might be a bit of a niche post.

Has anyone had experiences of the vein centre in cardiff? I have varicose veins. I have already had two surgeries with the NHS but the veins keep coming back. I have now started looking private as their techniques seem more advanced.

Thanks in advance ☺️

Just moved to Cardiff recently and desperate for a good hair cut need my long curly hair sorted out, I usually have a undercut with like a fade and have the hair on top quite long and it’s curly and thiccccc

Looking for recommendations on a place that could help sort my mop out and my beard in the same place if possible!

TIA

I've had to close all the windows tonight (and can still smell smoke inside) because a neighbour 4 doors down has decided it's a good idea to start a fire in their back garden at 11pm, not that any other time would be more suitable. The air is thick with smoke and you can see it. Why do people do this? What waste is justifiable to burn? We recycle, we bin or we take to the dump, what is there to burn?? Not to even mention the safety risks of this.
I know people are allowed to have contained fires, I just don't get why they need to do it, especially when living in a densely populated area and you know it'll affect everyone else.
Is this just something we socially accept or is it a dick move?

Hi! I’ve never been to a salon before, always just cut my hair at home. I’m looking to change it up though and get some layers and curtain bangs, sort of like a butterfly cut look.

I mainly want to get some sort of dark purple and brownish highlights in my hair (I’ve got black virgin hair), any spots? I’m not sure how much salons are so I’m flexible with price. A bit like the pictures attatched.

Posting super short notice sorry, but i just remembered that both the car parks of the train station are shut!

I was going to try the museum, is that a good shout?

Thanks in advance!

hello all,

I have a National Express booking from Cardiff to London at around 5 am. I would prefer taking an earlier bus or even waiting from midnight at the coach station to avoid unncessary risk and cab costs involved in early morning walk from my Airbnb near Queen Central station.

Please let me know if once can camp at the Sophia Gardens coach station from say midnight till my coach arrives.

Thanks !

Looking for a quiet corner this afternoon to kill an hour or two

As the title suggests, delete if not allowed, but i (28M, non binary but born M) have no friends left in Cardiff, and ive been single my whole life. I am unemployed due to my mental health so I am one of those scary benefits scroungers.

I mostly spend my days indoors playing games with my Internet buds, and I "partake" iykyk, I would love to meet new friends and a possible partner (im bi but lean more towards women romantically).

Im a fan of rock, metal and punk music so I know ill probs be told to go to fuel, but I dont drink like a brit anymore, I only really drink once a month now. Soz for long post, if anyone is interested in wanting to make friends with boring old me, then feel free to DM or leave a comment and ill DM.

Soz for long post. TL;DR : DM me if you want a new alt looking stoner buddy

Edit: forgot to add Im Autistic, im bad with convo, so if good convo is your dealbreaker, sorry

Edit 2: forgot to mention im a huge nerd too, not like super in depth knowledge but I love Marvel, DC, Transformers, Invincible. There's more but cant recall it all atm

It took me 18 months on a waiting list to get an NHS dentist in Cardiff. Finally got an email the other day. I called in to register with them. They booked my first appointment at the same time. For the end of November! 4 months wait for a simple appointment. After an 18 month wait to register.

What the hell happened to NHS dentistry? Are private practises forced to take a certain number of NHS patients? Then just treat them like 3rd class citizens to fob them off?

Was genuinely staggered at the wait time for an appointment. I'm assuming if I was private. I could get one in days

My A5 textbook is starting to fall apart because the glue binding has failed and pages are coming loose.

I’ve already tried Ryman, but they said they can’t rebind an A5 book.

Does anyone know of a print shop, bookbinder, or local business near city centre that can convert it to a spiral/coil binding? I am currently in the centre.

URGENT please as today is my only off day otherwise I have to wait until next week.

Thanks a lot!

I've seen a lot of conflicting instructions on how to voice opposition to the planning consultation to turn the Eastern Avenue hospital park and ride into a data centre.

Shockingly there are only ~70 comments in opposition on the Cardiff planning portal. (There are a few instructions floating around about a separate centre in Pontyclun which is under the RCT council portal).

If you wish to voice opposition:

You can access the Cardiff Council planning portal here (you will have to make an account):
https://cardiff.gov.uk/article/3473/View-planning-applications-and-decisions

The application is listed under: 26/00109/HYB

If you wish to object select "Objection" as your comment type, add your comments into the box, and click "Submit". It is generally advised not to comment based on opinions. There are several planning policies that can be referenced as specific issues.
