r/Cardiff

behaviour on buses has never been good, but what has happened in the last few months? people listening to music and tiktoks without headphones, eating smelly food and full meals on buses, arguing with drivers because they wont let them on for free, coming on smelling like dry piss, people dumping rubbish on seats and leaving it there. People's behaviour has been getting far worse

Just watched Peculiar Productions play of Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett at The Gate in Cardiff. It was a wonderful production.

Well done to all the cast and production crew.

I moved to Uk and near Cardiff for a while now for work, but if I’m being honest, it’s been a really lonely experience so far. My social anxiety makes the thought of just "going to a pub" feel completely impossible, and I often end up staying home because the city feels so big and overwhelming when you're navigating it alone. I’m 34M and desperate to find my people, maybe through something low-key. Does anyone know of any truly gentle, low-pressure spaces where it’s okay to be the quiet person while you find your footing? I’m just really tired of feeling like I’m watching the city happen from the outside and would love some help.

Edit: should’ve mentioned bits about me. I like physical activities like hiking, racquet sports even though haven’t played in a while for reasons listed above. I workout regularly. Used to enjoy gaming on consoles/PC but I just play on my phone. Open to exploring other hobbies too.

anyone know of any good spots for picking wild garlic in/around Cardiff? wanna make some pesto

So I’m off to Cardiff tomorrow, not been there for a while. Was looking forward to calling into Eat the Bird for some food but just looking on Google and it says they are closed indefinitely.

Is there anywhere else that does similar food, which isn’t too far from St David’s?

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

After applying to so many jobs this is what my life comes to lol. I did my undergrad in psychology and now I’m doing my masters in molecular neuroscience in Bristol and I’m planning to live and work in Cardiff (can work in Bristol too) but just wanted to ask if anyone’s got advice for fresh graduates trying to get a job in biology / in a lab. I’ve been looking at nhs associate practitioner, medical laboratory assistant etc. any help appreciated

Hi,
I have a flight from Bristol airport at 9:45 am.
Using National Express from Sophia Garden I can be there either 5:45 am or 7:50 am.

7:50 am sounds more than enough althought I am worried about the traffic.
Can you tell me more about traffic congestion around that time? Or maybe buses have seperate lanes and don't care about all of that and should be always on time?

If the bus was every hour I would gladly arrive at the airport at 6:45, but 5:45 seems a little crazy.

If you have any insights, please help :) !

Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend some good property agents for an evaluation for my dads property on city road.

Was anyone else waiting forever at Friary Gardens for Flixbus?

I need help! I have taken Flixbus to court because they are denying to pay my refund. (seems extreme, but its principle)

It exceeded 120 mins delay,and I was going to Heathrow.

WAS ANYONE WAITING FOR THE 10.40am 19th Sept last year?

Its a long shot......but I need your help!

We were 3 hours late leaving, left stranded in newport, and finally got on the road at 1pm!

I was just about to take a nap when I heard a very large amount of police and emergency vehicles near the museum area. Is there some kind of ongoing emergency?

I’m looking for recommendations for massage in Cardiff, not at one of the hotel spas but rather an independent masseuse or clinic (if that’s what they’re called?). Even better, if you are a masseuse dm!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a reliable shop to replace the screen and battery on my Apple Watch. My AppleCare has expired, so I'm looking for a solid independent alternative in Cardiff, the Valleys, or even over toward Swansea.

I’ve already checked Timpson, but they quoted £110 for the screen alone, which felt a bit steep.

Does anyone have personal experience with local repair shops? I'd love to know:

• Approximate pricing if you’ve had it done recently.

• The turnaround time.

• Whether they managed to keep the water resistance intact!

Cheers for any leads!

Ideally somewhere that delivers please.

hey guys I'm 24 years old in the roath area. Ive recently lost my job and I'm in need of some advice and support. I'm in a tight position and need food desperately. I seen someone else post and thought it would be okay. Any help would be amazing, thank you.

Hello! I'm going to be studying Film/filmmaking at USW come September. I can't really find much reviews online. Does anyone have experience on the course they could share or the university as a whole?
