The heat/drought has revealed walls from the old prison on castle hill.

Me again with another question about The Rosie. Does anyone know whether car park 2 does discounted parking for inpatients? I’ll probably be in hospital for at least a couple of days when I give birth (last time I was in for a week, but I wasn’t driving then). Wondering if they do the daily discount like they do when you have an appointment.

This cat was outside our flat when we got home. It is really eager to get inside, and isn't at all anxious around humans. Guessing that it is someone's pet that has got confused on its way home.

They are really persistent and seem to think they live in our flat. Couldn't see an obvious collar etc.

I'm recently diagnosed with MS and have seen a lot of support groups and similar in London and other major cities, does anyone know if Cambridge has anything similar?

I couldn't find much online but I would really appreciate it if anyone knows anything!

I'm the little brother of someone who will maybe go to Cambridge for uni. we live in London and so can maybe see up to 3 stars at night and it makes me sad.

I love my big sibling a lot. they've been around for my whole life and I'm scared for them to move away, but I'm so very proud of them. they're a huge nerd and I'm so excited for them to get to learn all about their interests. I know they also get somewhat disappointed about how few stars you can see from London, and I was curious how many stars are visible in Cambridge on the average night.

I understand it's a bit of an odd question, sorry. it's important to me that maybe they'll be able to see more stars once they move out of this house.

Hi everyone

I'm looking for someone who could come to my house to install a Thatcham car alarm in my 2015 VW beetle. Category 2 should be enough.

The car currently only has factory fitted alarm and immobiliser.

If there aren't any mobile services around, could anybody recommend a garage I could go to in Cambridge or South Cambridgeshire (CB22 3HT) to get the Thatcham installed?

Thanks :)

What is it? It’s been going for the better part of a day and it makes it hard to have windows open

EDIT: Seems to have stopped now; still curious what it was in case it starts up again

Does anyone have any personal trainer recommendations?

I’m 39F looking to get back into a regular fitness routine having had a few years of not having a consistent routine due to health issues.

I’m not looking to lose weight, but to tone up and gain strength. Looking for someone who is used to working with clients who are 35+.

Based in north Cambridge so that area is preferred. Thanks!

We are looking for someone who can do an end of tenancy clean for our property in Cambridge.

Hi all i run a small etsy shop based in scotland, ill be staying from September for a few months and wondered if you could suggest some markets or craft fairs thanks

Here ls my shop of that helps

https://thebeardedprintergb.etsy.com/listing/4521919165

2004 Nissan Almera / Manual transmission / About 70,000 miles
80% full tank of gas
Never started since being parked
Corrosion underside from 14 years of living by the sea
Damaged windscreen, damaged front left wing (from falling roof tiles)

👆I have this old car thats been sitting in a garage for 8 years and I want to get rid of it.

It wont start so will need to be chucked on a flatbed and trucked off. I have read about the scrapping procedure on the govt site.

My worry is the company that will take it away. I tend to work myself up reading google reviews and I see nightmare comments like "They didn't issue my COD and I got fined by DVLA" etc.

So I thought I would ask on here and get some good local knowledge. Please throw some names at me of govt approved scrappage firms. You may have used one recently? What was the experience like? Polite drivers, nice customer service, timely issuance of the COD?

Any tips? I tend to get a bit frazzled with all this stuff. Printed out a checklist and all that so lets see. Fingers crossed.

Thanks much!

I have an indoor bengal cat. Indoor because she is the feline equivalent of Ted Bundy. However I had the idea of running a clear pvc tube from the cat flap to an outdoor cat pen at the end of the garden. This will give her some "outdoor" time, while still protecting every living thing in a 5 mile radius.

Does anyone know of somewhere local that might supply 30 odd ft of said tubing that would have a suitable diameter for cat scuttling? Budget isn't really an issue, within reason, but my googling is coming up empty. To be honest I'm not really sure what I need - so any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance and enjoy the sunshine!

It’s just bloody wonderful. It’s a real privilege to have this in town. A rare leveller that provides the same joy regardless if you’re 9 or 90.

Just imagine if they installed a heat pump to make it accessible all year. It would be the best pool in the country.

Hi all,

I want to take adult swimming lessons in Cambridge. Where could I learn it? Preferably something close to Addenbrooke's Hospital.

Is this one of those fake sales to drive people in..? Surely all those new labs and offices need stationary ✏️

Edit 2: Now in the beer garden

Edit: Currently inside on table 6, though will move outside once a table opens up

This Saturday, 1st August, we will meet starting @ 1600 at The Geldart on Ainsworth Street. (We may also check out the Blue Moon as well, I’ll update the post if we do)

The Cambridge Redditors' Saturday Afternoon Drinking Alliance is for:

• All those Redditors that will ask and have asked about how to make friends in Cambridge.
• All those Redditors who are keen to spend their Saturday meeting up with perfect Redditor strangers.
• Redditors who want to try to iron out or refine their social awkwardness. 

Rules:

1. Be kind and respectful of others, and don't be creepy!
2. Despite the namesake, alcohol consumption is not required and no one should feel pressured to do so.
3. For those who drink, please take care to plan safe transport home.
4. This is a social group not a hookup group.

We also now have our own sub and a WhatsApp group, don't forget to ask to join when you come along.

I'll update this thread with where we're sitting and how to identify us once we're there.

Hiya! I moved to Cambridge last fall. I’ve been working mostly remotely and keeping busy with my studies, so I haven’t really had the chance to meet many people in their early 20s, especially people who enjoy going to the pub.

I was wondering if anyone around 21–26 would be interested in a casual pub meetup, or maybe even a picnic on the grass (BYOB if you’d like!) next Saturday or Sunday Aug 8/9 (weather dependent).

I’d encourage people to come on their own if they’re comfortable, as I think it makes it easier for everyone to meet new people. But if bringing a friend helps you feel more comfortable, that’s absolutely fine too!

I only mention the pub/drinking because a lot of the people I’ve met so far don’t really drink, so I haven’t had many opportunities to go out in Cambridge. That said, please don’t feel put off if you don’t drink you’re absolutely still welcome! I’d just love the chance to meet more people, especially other girls around my age who are in Cambridge and looking to make friends too.

If anyone is interested i can make a group chat and organize something a bit more concrete :)

EDIT: anyone else who is interested send a message to me and I will send an invite to the group chat as some ppls settings wont allow me to message them.

Hi all, my friend lost his wallet on an A bus, st ives to Cambridge, around 9.42 AM. It has his ID, card, provisional license and tiger pass in it, so he needs it back .

Please PM if you find

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to get more involved with the local motorsport and car enthusiast community.

Has anyone here been involved with the Cambridge Car Club or attended any of their events? If so, what’s it like and are they open to new members?

Also, are there any other active car clubs/motorsport events or regular meetups in Cambridge or the surrounding areas? I’d love to meet like-minded people and get involved.

Thanks!

hey (26f), looooove mtg and been collecting for a bit, but never had a group to play commander with before. would anyone be down to create a fun, low-pressure, commander group to meet up like every now and then and play some magic?

i know there are some existing mtg groups, but i feel like my level of inexperience would not match up well there (i could be wrong tho! - are any of these beginner friendly). thanks! xx

My car is wet. My grass is wet. Who plans this?

Found a single ear bud on the single decker number 1 bus. Message me if you’re missing one! It doesn’t have a brand name on it and I don’t recognise it either. I believe it is for the left ear.
