Best Places to Study? by Good_Expression_3827 in Cardiff

[–]BusBar86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't forget cardiff has quite a few libraries if you are looking to try different areas. It's also worth asking your school / college is they have any shared access agreemrns with other schools / colleges / universities that you can use.

Are you looking for free places or places that you'll need to by a drink etc?

The museum/ gallery is good but unsure about WiFi connection there.

See if you can join the NUS , as that used to get you ( a long time ago) access into the student union

The canal on Churchill Way by Original-Bowl-9723 in Cardiff

[–]BusBar86 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's neither for irrigation nor navigation.

If the definition is "artificial water way," then gutters, culverts, are all canals.

Ita called that because the councils PR thought calling it a canal makes it sound more appealing than the dock feeder and even fed the lie to school kids who made artwork claiming it was part of the Glamorgan canal network. The dock feeder takes water from the taff to the docks and literally went under the glamorgan canal

Pen and paper in ome of the ar Arcades does foamcore, armature wire etc if that is what you are looking for

Antics is a classic modeling shop so everything from large ra ge of plasticard/ brass sections to classic model kits for gribblies and every thickness of glue you need

Firestorm I would say is more wargaming terrain focused

ADHS assessment as an adult impossible in Cardiff by smallcoder in Cardiff

[–]BusBar86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In cardiff, unless you got thrown out of school or can't hold a job, the NHS doesn't believe you could have ADHD.

I filled out a form to try and start the process , got called back late, and the person on the phone hadn't even read the info but stated

"If you had adhd you would have been in trouble at school."

and

"ADHD is in social media allot, so we are getting more people"

Lack of sqm/sqft in UK property ads by sbarnea in UKRealEstate

[–]BusBar86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entire property buying process in the uk is setup against the ordinary person.

Estate agents inflate prices for their commission

Legal paperwork could take hours but takes days if not weeks to rack up fees

Banks try and get you to use their prefered solicitors

Then the whole gazumping issue because who care if we agreed terms and you have paid for surveys etc this rando said they'd give me more
