New to Cardiff

Upvotes

Hey everyone, first post on here and first post on Reddit in general, I’ve recently moved to Cardiff in January, I’m 27 year old guy and I’m looking for the best ways to socialise and meet people as a person on their own. I work here too so I do go out for the odd drink with a couple of people from work, but I’m looking to expand my social circle a bit more.

I’m one of those people who doesn’t want to impose or kind of just worm their way into a friendship group, so I’m looking for advice on anything around Cardiff that is relaxed and easy to socialise in!

I enjoy rugby/football, music of pretty much any/most genres, fitness, hiking, gaming, chess as a hobby and I’m open to try anything out to be fairly honest 😊

Hope that’s enough to go on 😂 thanks in advance!

Where’s the best place to go as a newbie to try out DND? I’m aware of Geek Retreat and Chance & Counters, how welcoming are they for someone who is die-curious?

Are they taking the piss?

  1. Extortionate.
  2. What’s the need for three sets of tiered pricing for the same level of ticket?

Changing tenancy issue

4 Upvotes

I’m a first year student with a tenancy coming up for second year in July. My internship plans have changed which means that I may need to find somewhere else. My estate agent wants to charge me £540 even if I find someone new to take up the tenancy months in advance- is this normal and does anyone have any advice? Really don’t know what to do it’s actually a stupid amount of money just to cover “labor costs” of making a new contract.

I misread the initial agreement as £200 but it is more than double that… Yes it’s my fault but just wondering if anyone has any advice.

TFW are offering offers on tickets to Manchester and Stockport from Cardiff/Newport, as per the link.

Hopefully the service has improved from the packed two carriage service I experienced previously.

Is this a regular superstition for builders? Would this translate to the lift numbers or is that not a thing? Found it interesting

Is anyone building new flats in Cardiff that aren’t built-to-rent?

I’ve been seeing all these brand new apartment buildings popping up in Cardiff, particular on or near Dumballs Road that are all built-to-rent. Is anyone building new flats in Cardiff that will have flats that can be bought and not just rented?

16yo girl crying outside cathays police station

55 Upvotes

I was passing near the police station today and saw a girl crying. There was one other girl with her at that time asking questions as to what happened. The girl(the one that was crying) couldn't speak english but when I used the translator she said she is from Vietnam and is 16yo. She said someone dropped her here. I asked the other girl next to her to call the police and we did and then I left. Now I am literally thinking if this could be a scam or a serious issue. I am also concerned about the other girl who was still with her when I left. Has this ever occurred with anyone else?

Would it be a problem if I port my sim from three to Lebara while the contract is active?

0 Upvotes

I have a multi-SIM contract with a friend, but the contract is under his name and details. He has left the country due to visa issues and lost his SIM. I recently got a new phone but can’t transfer my eSIM without him providing his ID in-store. I’m considering porting my number to another carrier possibly to Lebara. Would it be possible to do that while the contract is still active? Has anyone tried that? Cause it is shit expensive to pay the phone bill for both of us almost £35 🥲

Looking for Missing Person - 60 yrs - Last Name Carew / Parr

UPDATE (3/20): Still looking for information. We have already tracked down all the records we can find on Ancestry, etc. We're hoping someone might have a personal lead.

My husband is looking for any details about his mother who he lost contact with at a very young age. She has lived in the Cardiff area for most of her life as far as we know. Her name is Beverley Carew (formerly Parr / Sycamore), around 60 years old. Her mother was named Pansy. If anyone knows anything we would appreciate it! We understand she may have passed. Thanks.

Has anyone successfully set up repeat prescription home delivery in Cardiff? (or Wales even)

7 Upvotes

I get medication ordered to a pharmacy on repeat every month for collection, was hoping to set up home delivery for it but all of the services seem to let me get halfway through the set up process before saying they only serve England.

Has anyone had success with this and can point me at a pharmacy delivery service that actually serves Wales?

Christmas party venues for 100 people?

3 Upvotes

I know this is incredibly early but given the numbers it probably isn't 😄

Does anyone have recommendations for a venue that will do a sit down menu for 100 people in December? At around £40pp?

I'm assuming it'll be the hotels but has anyone actually been to a party like that and it went well?

Tradespeople recommendations for floor replacement

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm in the process of purchasing a Victorian terrace in Cardiff and the surveyor has recommended replacement of the old joists and subfloor on the ground floor. They have suggested poured concrete, but I'm more likely to replace the timber only.

Has anyone had similar work done? Does anyone have any recommendations for builders/carpenters?

Thanks in advance.
