Hi all
I'm visiting my sister and her partner in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if you could recommend any cafe / restaurant for lunch that do decent gluten free options?
Her partner recently had to go gluten free, and they generally don't go out to eat much.. so it will be nice to treat them
Thanks!
This is a shot in the dark, but I met a guy in the merch line at the Metallica concert in Cardiff last week. We had a great conversation and I immediately regretted not getting his name and number as I walked away, but it was chaos. He has been on my mind since. He is 38, has a 5yo son, and works for Swansea City FC. Anyone know someone who would fit that profile?
After successfully crippling the competition by massively undercutting fares and overpaying drivers, Uber have forcefully used their billion $ corp status to forcibly become the dominant cab company in Swansea.... With the remainder now being unreliable.
And recently, they've began jacking up their prices. Sometimes to an extreme degree. We should not allow this to happen. On morning at 7AM, I was quoted £30 for a 2 mile journey to the bus station. No rush hour, no events, plenty of available drivers, no traffic. The worst part? After calling other firms I was told I wouldn't get a cab for 20-30 minutes. I already had a coach booked so was forced to pay Ubers extortionate fare or loose out on the coach ticket. Then within 3 hours the price reverted back down.
Since then, fares that were £5 are now routinely £8-£12. Surge pricing is active more often, despite there being no traffic or shortage whatsoever. Uber had butchered transport in Swansea and prices will only continue to skyrocket as long as people continue to pay these prices. The catch 22, is that like myself, many of us are now forced to pay these prices because the competition has been so badly crippled by Uber.
Im struggling to get anyone to go with so was curious if anyone else is in the same boat?
Is everyone gonna be off their tits in there....and how do they plan to take stuff in if there's dogs?

Hi all,
My yearly appeal for football players on the Swansea Sub Reddit. I'm the manager of Parklands FC, we play in the South Wales Church League. League is friendly but competitive and you don't need to be Christian to play. Games kick off at 10.30 (but can range from Swansea all the way to the valleys) so you can get your football fix early and then have the rest of the weekend left to yourself. Great for lads with families or other commitments.
We train on a Monday night in Loughor, 7.15 until 8.15. Subs are £4 a session but the first one is free so you can see if you like it. Our home games are played at the Elba in Gowerton. We are on Comet like all other local teams so check us out on the Cymru app or follow us on Instagram - @parklands__fc (double underscore). Happy to answer any question via DM or in the comments. Can message the Instagram too if easier. Please forward this post to anyone you may think would be interested.
Hello people of Swansea,
I need your help. I’m a recent postgraduate from Nottingham University and have been shortlisted for a couple of interviews in Swansea and Newport. Instead of going back home, I’m planning to stay for a couple of months. If I receive an offer, I’ll then look for permanent accommodation.
I’m searching for short-term accommodation (2–3 months). Are there any options apart from Airbnb? Most of them are currently out of my budget. Spareroom contract is minimum 6 months.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thank you!
I work 9-5, mon-fri and so I'm looking for something open outside of those hours. I've only been to one library so far but that looked like it was mainly catered towards kids with a very small selection of books.
Also, how simple is it to take out books?
Bought a house 6 months ago and have been non stop dealing with issues such as Ant infestation in rear wall, significant leak in rear wall, gas boiler broken when I moved in, gas stove unusable, maggots out back, rising damp looking like someone had just run a bottle of water around the walls etc with the list I have I could go on. Sellers and their solicitors completely ignored contact.
Yesterday in lean-to I noticed what I thought had just been the paint old paint crumbling was getting significantly bigger, previous owner had 2 layers of carpet tile ontop of original vinyl (assumed due to leak in rear wall). Lifted up to find what either looked to be carpet moths or maggots all throughout the green tiles underneath so chucked them out and while doing that found (photo).
I think it’s a drain directly inside my lean to? The pipe goes to the sink. It’s a foam pad with another one underneath but wrapped in a plastic bag, I can’t and don’t want to pull it up enough to see exactly but can hear water running from the sink in the lean to clear as day now. Surely someone can’t have been stupid enough to do this, right? Also is it even legal to sell a house with an undisclosed drain inside the house?
This was few years ago on saturday night. Two young girls were annoying a group of old men trying to get into their nerves, two young lads tried to stop those girls from harassing those old peeps. These girls were fucking drunk, one those old guys took his food went to counter but one the followed him and called him nunce and then you see everything unfold.
My algorithm thinks I like this sort of stuff, but I suppose it’s because it’s a Swansea thing.
I cant work out if he is for real or if his voice is put on.
Anyone got anything on him?
Went to Caswell beach for the first time yesterday. My 9 year old came running out of the sea screaming because he spotted a jellyfish fish. I went to look and there were LOADS. All across the beach, washing up, all in the water.
There were lots of children and adults in the sea. Is it normal on this beach to have so many jellyfish?
How aren’t people worried about getting stung!!! 🤯
Hello, just got home from a walk up the hill- sadly couldn't get to the viewpoint due to the expansion of the construction works up there. Does anyone know if it is possible to get up to the top near the TV masts from the St Thomas side? Also, does anyone know anything about the plaque in the picture?
At the end of the day posting but just a fair warning to anyone out and about after work or school, there are Anti-trans groups hanging out outside the area near Gamer's Emporium, not far from CEX. Specifically one wearing what appears to be a trans flag at first which actually says 'Trans Women Are Men' on it.
Just thought I'd make it known as I noticed it leaving Gamer's Emporium today after a tabletop game.
I hate to see this kind of thing become so local here, it's disgusting.
Edit: For all the comments that either asking why I care or saying 'But it's not hateul' or 'It's true though', I'm not here to argue with you. I was posting this in a place people in Swansea may see, as the same protestors who spout this stuff can easily embolden harmful dogwhistles and talking points. If you don't see why the entire thing is harmful socially, it's not my job to educate you. I wanted to make people who are trans or allies locally aware of this.
I have a Eufy doorbell to fit to my existing standard bell but so far I have been ignored by 2 electricians. I get its probably a small job but surely a paid job is income for them, any recommendations for one?
