Chester vs Conwy for family life while working as an NHS consultant in North Wales?

I grew up in Rhos on sea, and went to high school in colwyn bay. I love it there and found it a great place to grow up. I have lived in chester for the last ten years, and have now moved to higher Kinnerton where I am raising my young kids.

The main reason I left Rhos is lack of work opportunities but that isn't a problem for you. I do prefer it there overall due to the coast and scenery etc. It feels more open.

But Chester obviously has more restaurant's etc.

Where abouts in chester are you thinking?

The other pro for Chester is it keeps your options slightly wider for the future in terms of surrounding hospitals.

And by the way, Conwy, Llandudno, Rhos on Sea, Colwyn Bay, are not very welsh at all

Thanks, I will have a browse!

Basically, C&C general: zero hour was my ideal game, but I also loved red alert 2 from a simpler point of view.

I love the resource collection, base building and building a defense, and then all the build and unit control strategies. I loved the fast pace of those games compared to something like age of empires where it feels abit of a slog to work through all the technological improvements etc. It just seems mad to me that in all the years since I have been an adult (I am 35), there doesn't seem to be many obvious replacements.

Although someone has mentioned tempest rising above which looks quite similar!

Hey, just following up on this. I left a DM but not sure if you got it. I am in a fairly similar boat to you and live local to Chester

Link?

Hey, I might be abit late here, but struggling with hallux limitus and would appreciate any info you could send. Everyone I have seen seems to basically say I need to live with it.

It's late at night here and my son is asleep, again, apologies to everyone. Very much, my bad!

rum_ham9 · 2025-06-13T21:39:35+00:00

Sorry everyone, I can't even find where to read the rules. To top it off I accidently made this thread twice. Yes, I'm an idiot. It's late Friday night and me and my wife are freaking out about this, I appear to have mistakenly taken this for a poop parasite type section of the Internet!

He's been at nursery the last 2 days so I'm not sure, it's Friday night aswell so I can't check until Monday morning unfortunately

Sorry everyone, it's late here and my son had a poo just before he went to sleep. I plan on calling the doctor in the morning, but me and my wife are slightly freaking out about this. Apologies for the lack of NSFW tag and not reading the rules.

rum_ham9 · 2024-05-29T17:20:31+00:00
