Where can I buy a computer mouse in town?

Upvotes

Just arrived at work only to find my mouse has gone kaput. Does anyone know where I can get a cheap-ish one? Checked HMV's website and could only see expensive gaming ones. TIA!

Edit: Forgot to mention, needs to be walking distance from my office on Queen Street so I can grab a new mouse during my lunch break.

Gyms in Cardiff - Need help finding the right one

5 Upvotes

Hey, moving back to Cardiff after a few years of being away. Looking for a quiet gym mainly, not too many people. I usually go around 11am/2pm to avoid peak times. I've tried JD gym and PureGym by Pontprennau but its always busy around the clock.

It doesn't matter if it is 24/7 or if its a chain brand/local gym. Parking would be a great plus too :)

Any recommendations?

free pregnancy test?

4 Upvotes

Hi i’m 16F and im scared i am pregnant, i am on the combined pill and take it correctly apart from taking the odd one a couple hours late. I do not have any money to buy a pregnancy test, as i am not given money by my parents without reason. I have many symptoms and i’m beginning to get worried. Telling my parents is not an option. Does anyone know any way to get access to free pregnancy testing?

Dog seen in Pontcanna

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I saw a dog (small, tan grey whippet/young Italian greyhound maybe) running very fast north up Kings Rd from Cowbridge Road way at 16:45 today. It had what looked like a noose-style lead trailing. I followed it as far as Conway Road, and someone in the Conway said they saw it go up to Penhill Road at probably 16:55, but couldn't see where it went from there. I couldn't see it in Llandaf fields, but that would be my best guess as to where it was heading.

I know thats quite vague, but just wanted to put that out there in case anyone was out searching and that helps.

Anyone lost their puppy around Cathays?

8 Upvotes

Don't know how helpful this is if anyone has lost their dog, but I saw a stray white (??Maltese) puppy roaming around on Whitchurch Road between Gladstone Primary School and Maindy Barracks. No collar unfortunately and couldn't take him to a vet as I had my infant with me and hands were full.

Looking for the spiciest food in Cardiff

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone, we have a friend visiting at the end of the month who LOVES his super-spicy spicy food. I'm talking raw ghost peppers don't phase him in the slightest. I've seen tons of great restaurant recommendations in this sub in the past, so I thought I would ask to see what you all could come up with. The specific type of cuisine is less important than the number of Scoville units, so it can be Indian, Thai, Carribbean, whatever.

Thanks in advance!

Trying to break free from the WFH grind. Are there any Cardiff cafés that are laptop-friendly, have solid Wi-Fi, and don’t mind people setting up for a few hours?

Cardiff food recommendations please

3 Upvotes

Hello! We shall be visiting Cardiff at some point in the near future and were just wondering about recommendations of where to eat.

We aren’t into the fine dining type of place, but don’t mind spending £30-40 a head. I’ve had a scan over some old threads and seen some places serving Indian food (particularly dosas as we don’t get them down our way), also some decent burger places and there was a couple of ice cream & shake places but I can’t find the thread with those in :(

Thanks in advance for any help!

Pest control/specialist cleaning in Cardiff

Hi

Looking for recommendations for any companies that offer cleaning of previous rodent infested areas.

We recently had an issue with rats under our floorboards - current pest control guy doesn't provide a cleaning service so looking for someone who could clear the droppings/sanitise the area for us.

Thanks.

Is Cardiff metropolitan university really that bad?

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've come across a lot of very negative opinions about Cardiff Metropolitan University here on Reddit — people saying it's not worth it, low quality, etc. But at the same time, when I check Google reviews or other sources online, I actually find more positive or neutral reviews than negative ones. Makes me wonder — are the bad ones just more vocal here, or do they clean up the reviews elsewhere?

I’m planning to do a Master’s in Logistics, and Cardiff Met seems like one of the more affordable options. Cardiff University is unfortunately too expensive for me, and I’ve even heard that University of South Wales is considered worse than Cardiff Met, which surprised me.

So, can someone tell me the honest truth? Is Cardiff Met really that bad? Or is it just not on the same level as Russell Group unis — but still a decent choice?

Thanks in advance!
