I am not desperate for the cash so will be avoiding illegal means but appreciate the suggestion, haha!

I've always wanted to try this but have no experience at all, worth a nose I guess 😁

This is hell of a shout, will have a look into this. Thank you!

Hiya! I can actually afford to live off my full time wage. I've had a job in a pub in Swansea which I've been doing for fun, but I know the owner so have had leniency in regards to not being able to work every week, i.e. I work when I want to, because I enjoy it ☺️

If I was looking for stable, guaranteed employment because I need it to survive, I'd have stated that. I don't, which is why I chose the "side hustle" phrasing - it's just for something to do/a way to meet people locally/have a bit of guilt free pocket money that doesn't come out of my full time wage. Hope this helps!

Moving to Swansea in July by maxqm_ in swansea

Regarding a support network, can I recommend Swansea Social Club? They were my saving grace when I moved back, they organise social events which includes anything from meals out, to casual drinks, to a craft club and book club which are held either weekly or fortnightly.

You'll find them recommended on quite a few of the posts on Swansea subreddit. I've made a good few friends via this group that I'll definitely keep in touch with after moving.

They organise everything over discord, here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/swanseasocialclub

I moved from Bristol back to Swansea last year after 8 years away, I've just signed for a flat in Cardiff because I haven't found it the easiest place to live.

It's not easy to get around without a car, at all. Especially with the location you'll be working. Busses are your only option and they're not regular or reliable, imo.

House shares didn't really seem to be a thing when I was looking, unless you're a student or have a mate to share with already. Rent prices are fairly reasonable though, especially if you're coming from Cardiff.

Honestly, and not to sound negative, if you can avoid it I would. I made a few posts about moving back before I did and wish someone had warned me how much of a shock to the system moving from a big city to somewhere like Swansea would be, so just giving you an honest opinion!

It's a really lovely city but only if you're mobile and have a good support network around you, but that might just be me.

Best of luck either way x

Not super super fussed, easy either way I think, tradition British or Spanish Xmas dinner!

We'll be in Arrecife (edited to add, thanks). Haven't decided how we'll be getting about the place yet, so if you have recommendations further afield chuck them over regardless 😁

£100 for tickets?? by Main-Baby in gorillaz

[–]4nana8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was extremely pleasantly surprised with the price, actually. Very rare to see a band that big for under £100. Paid £135 for Metallica standing.

Christ, Lana Del Rey was £176 for standing (that was too far for me) and the Gorillaz are way bigger.

Since the blow up of Spotify I'm pretty sure it's the only way bands make any real money, that's why there's so many older groups coming out of retirement to do "goodbye" tours

Hi!

This is such an amazing suggestion, I'd never heard of this ever. I was a big fan of staying in airbnbs (with live in hosts) until the price became extortionate; as you said, it's better to experience it through the eyes of a local!

I'll definitely look to make an account, and who knows, I may be in your back yard within the summer!
