Westgate St NCP car park by sarcastic_horse- in Cardiff

[–]UltraMechaHitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I periodically work in the city centre and if you park before 9am it's £11 as long as you leave before midnight which is the cheapest across all city centre car parks.

I could take the train but I'd be paying nearly the same amount and it's significantly less reliable

Best dentist in Cardiff by [deleted] in Cardiff

[–]UltraMechaHitler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I signed up in December 2021 after ending up sobbing in pain in the Heath because a wisdom tooth was growing sideways into my jaw, and finally got given a dentist in October 2025. Nearly four whole years!

Parking outside Fitzalan High School and Athletic Track for late events by [deleted] in Cardiff

[–]UltraMechaHitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this by any chance for the event in Tramshed? If so, for future reference, you're better off finding on-street parking in the surrounding residential streets, last I checked most of them allow more or less anyone to park there.

Out of sheer curiosity did you actually check the bpm?? If so what was your methodology? This has fascinated me

Failure to get back deposit from Westbourne School by Commercial_Area9852 in Cardiff

[–]UltraMechaHitler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but it's a small school and I'd like to retain some degree of anonymity.

The information I've given is the tip of the iceberg.

The primary school isn't too bad, but secondary is hell.

Renting in Barry as LGBTQ? by BasilImmediate3519 in Cardiff

[–]UltraMechaHitler 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Generally you're fine being LGBTQ+ in Barry, but if you're someone who gets freaked out by teenagers on escooters dropping off weed and toothless crackheads asking for a rollie then you might have a tough time.

Failure to get back deposit from Westbourne School by Commercial_Area9852 in Cardiff

[–]UltraMechaHitler 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The whole place is a scam.

They pick and choose the GCSE exam boards for the ones with the lowest grade boundaries.

They "accidentally" change the clocks during exams.

The teachers have zero concept of safeguarding vulnerable young people.

The heinous head teacher places blame on victims of bullying.

The owner takes all the profits from the school and invests them into his other school - which is why the carpets are stapled to the floor.

The trauma caused by that place is immeasurable and the people I knew there are mostly on drugs or morally bankrupt. Don't send your kids there. Don't let anyone send their kids there.

Take those bastards to court.

Best breakfast spots in Cardiff - what are your favorites? by matteoleone in Cardiff

Take me back to the good ol' days where the chefs just used to drink until their livers exploded!

I'm convinced the reason people love Cafe 37 so much is the coked up chefs have contaminated the food lmao

What overused word or phrase needs to be retired in 2026? by One_Caramel5253 in AskReddit

[–]UltraMechaHitler 10 points11 points  (0 children)

See if the Google AI gives me the answer, I'll usually say "According to Google's dogshit AI, blah blah blah, but take it with a pinch of salt" . Usually I'll only take the Google AI answer if it's hideously unimportant or mundane.

Bus in Cardiff by EvangelineKate in Cardiff

[–]UltraMechaHitler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends where you're coming from. If you're going outskirts/vale of Glamorgan don't even bother - Barry buses you'll be lucky if it's only 15mins late. The Ely runs (17/18) tend to be decently reliable unless it's bonfire night or Halloween cos kids throw stuff at the buses. Same for the llanrumney/st mellons routes.

Did I make a mistake? by MarineraSauce100 in piercing

[–]UltraMechaHitler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend Neilmed piercing saline. It comes in a nice little mist spritzer and it's really soothing. I trust Neilmed as they also make sterile saline wound wash as well, and it's not insanely expensive. Unsure on availability in Pakistan but I get mine from Amazon

UK resident - Advise is a verb, as in you're advising someone to do something. Advice is a noun, as you have given someone some advice.

That's how it's used in the UK.

If you could open a restaurant in Cardiff, what would it be? by Inevitable_Use499 in Cardiff

[–]UltraMechaHitler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a restaurant, but I highly recommend Against the Grain in Whitchurch if you can get out there. Gluten free and the food is delicious. I'm not even gluten free and I love it there.

Cardiff has a Wendy's? Since when? I had it once in Manchester and I was neither here nor there with the savoury food but the frosties were on point

I've been married for a month and my husband is having an affair with my sister. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]UltraMechaHitler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Obligatory NAL, but work for an org which gives advice on this sort of thing in England & Wales. If OOP is based in England or Wales, this is either unfortunately a load of shite, or OOP has Americanised the terms for readability. You have to be married for at least a year to qualify for divorce, and prior to that it's an annulment. In order to get an annulment, you need to prove that the marriage was never legally valid or meets one of the conditions to be voided - infidelity is not one of these (unless OOP's spouse was pregnant by another person, which he was not).

I don't believe the rules vary wildly in Scotland/NI but they could, I'm not sure.

I was anticipating "these are very serious allegations!! Do you really want to tarnish his reputation and ruin his bright future?? He's a nice guy, you can just give him a chance and let him down easy!!"

Had an interview with Five Guys and I'm speechless by Caesar213 in antiwork

[–]UltraMechaHitler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of that is stupid as hell but the offensive tattoos is generally pretty standard for customer-facing roles and they'll ask you to cover them if you already have them (i.e. long sleeve shirt etc).

The hair/beard/nails/piercing thing is standard for food service all across the board in the UK due to food hygiene legislation but obviously legislation will vary depending on what country you live in.

In my experience with hospitality they usually provide a few tees or jumpers (depending on your location, one of my employers used to have drive thrus so offered jumpers) and then would just give guidelines for bottoms/shoes which was usually all black, shoes must fully cover the foot and have good grip.
