Hope this is okay to post. Mods, please remove it if not.

I'm sharing my mobile tycoon game that has been in the works for a few months called Valleys Rising. You can start in 1910 or any era after, build railways, bus routes, shipping and air links between Welsh towns and cities. Run coal, passengers or anything in between.

Along the way, history happens: the Great War, the Second World War, the miners' strikes and more.

It's free on Playstore (ios soon): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.valleysrising

Feedback is very welcome. Diolch :)

This could be the last time I use it as my mothers next appointment is next year. All these cars will have to find a new place as I don't have any faith in the council listening to the citizen's of the city, the people they are suppose to be representing :(
They never do. Lost all trust in them.

The council has voted through a big package to clean up the city. It includes bringing back road sweepers, trialling a replacement for the absolute rubbish recycling sacks (pun? If so, unintended), and maybe even having some skips and/or recycling in each ward. If this works out, I'll be so pleased to see the back of those stupid sacks.

Here's an article about it all, sorry it's Wales on Line: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/every-ward-cardiff-recycling-centre-34818926

Thought this may be helpful to share this blog post for any parents out there during half term looking for free things to do as life is so expensive right now - these are open all year round. Also, if you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear.

Hi everyone,

I'm making a documentary about the story of Wales, with Cardiff at the centre, exploring how coal and industry shaped the country, what happened when those industries declined, and how Cardiff (and Wales) has changed over time.

I’m looking to speak with local historians, former miners and dockworkers, anyone who lived through these changes, and people currently living in Cardiff who can share their experiences and views on how the city has changed, how local communities have been affected, and whether regeneration has benefited everyone.

It’ll be a really relaxed, people-focused documentary, nothing too formal, and there’ll be free food as a thank you!

If you, a family member, friend or anyone you know might be interested, please drop me a message or tag them below.

Would be great to hear from people with personal stories, memories or knowledge of Welsh history! Diolch! 🙏

Hey everyone, late at night I know so hope that isn’t off putting 😂 I work a set shift pattern which means I don’t always have days off on the weekend but have days off from work during the week (like today). Anyways I was looking to meet some new people, I live on the outskirts of Cardiff.

I like my reading; fantasy, classics, history, autobiographies (probably more)

Weight training and sometimes do runs.

Football - I watch Spurs and Wales and play.

Rugby - I watch the Ospreys and Wales.

Feel free to say hi or drop a message if you’re interested :)

Hi! not a uni student in cardiff but i’m visiting some friends there for halloween and they all have tickets for a club. Unfortunately i didn’t manage to get one on Fixr :( In my uni, there are usually reliable resale apps to get a seccond hand ticket on if you missed the drop on fixr, but as im not a student here im not sure which platform is the best/ most reliable to look for a ticket on. Help appreciated!!!!

Hi all,

I’m not sure if this is allowed, I cannot make it to the Cardiff Devils game tomorrow so I was looking to sell my ticket and see anyone can make use of it.

It’s in block 10. Message me if interested :)

We are looking to get married at insole court 2028 just 40 people in the registry office rooms. We then need somewhere for the reception with an additional 40 people. The ceremony is in the evening so no formal wedding breakfast required just relaxed evening food. Somewhere with a dance floor and DJ.
We have contacted Portland House, Norwegian Church, insole court for the evening part, Coppa Club. Anywhere else? I’m not keen on a rugby club. But all of those above places not including food are 3k upwards!

Willing to travel a bit further if anyone has suggestions pls? Thanks

Talks about the datacentre proposal for the Pentwyn Park and Ride

Hello, I’m thinking of spending Christmas alone this year as my daughter is with her dad (3 hours away). It’ll be my first Christmas without her and I feel like spending Christmas around my family without her there will just make me miss her even more.

I also don’t get on with a couple extended family members as they hold some extreme bigoted views so just think I would rather stay clear of that. I was thinking of volunteering but I’ve seen that there are normally more than enough volunteers helping on Christmas Day (and organisations prioritise pre-trained/existing volunteers which makes sense).

So I’m not sure what to do. I’m quite an extroverted and sociable person so don’t want to be completely alone. I could afford to travel for a night or two maybe. Is there anything in Cardiff or any other nearby cities which seem like a fun way to spend the day?

Any tickets going for the beat tonight? Im in spoons with a Russian dude who reckons he can get us free tickets but hes lost the guys and it doesnt look very likely -buttholegerbil

looking for badminton or tennis communities in cardiff ( preferably open to all skill levels ) wanna make friends and have fun

My 4 year old really wants to go trick or treating this year for the first time.

Is there any street in particular that puts a lot of effort and expects a lot of visitors?

Hey I have a question for people who have previously attended YOLO and have had this experience. I wasn’t able to get tickets for yoloween unfortunately but a coursemate of mine has offered to send me a screenshot of hers. I would zoom it in so you wouldn’t be able to see the name but I was wondering if they are generally picky about seeing the name to confirm it’s you and then checking your student id. I’ve also heard that apparently they rarely ask to see the ticket but I want to hear your insight.

I've heard so many nice things about Cardiff and the nature around it to decide to visit the city this December (first week of)! We're interested in doing a light hike/trailing around the area, especially in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park but have been getting some advice not to due to the potentially bad/dangerous weather, especially if hiking up the peaks.

And so, do you guys maybe have other recommended scenic & nature trail/hike in the area? Perhaps somewhere still in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park area that's not as dangerous for winter time? (if possible at all?) We're fit but are admittedly still novices in hiking.

And any advice would be welcome 🙌

Lost in Lisvane area last Tuesday or Wednesday, set of keys. Front door key and Kia car key. Posting on here as police no longer accept lost property.

I'm still trying to get some built in Fairwater!

Sorry about this but I’ve tried literally everywhere and I’m desperate, anyone got a spare clwb ticket for halloween - I have a friend that didn’t get one and we feel awful about leaving him out. I’ll pay ofc!

Hi folks! I have a friend coming to visit who would like to go mushrooming together (for tasty edible mushrooms not the funny kind!). I am familiar with mushrooming back in East Anglia where I grew up (mostly Penny Bun/boletus) but looking for advice for around Cardiff. Anyone know any good woodland areas where you can pick mushrooms? Thanks in advance!
