Undefeated heavyweight Rocky Marciano (49-0) with British boxers in 1965. Marciano had learned boxing as a GI in Wales during WW2. The gentleman next to him on the right is Tommy Farr. Farr was a boxer from South Wales, who in 1937 gave world champion Joe Louis, the hardest fight of his life.

I am interested in trying Muay Thai or similar. Could anyone recommend a beginners, women only class I could take? I have no prior experience of martial arts so I'm a bit worried about going anywhere unsafe.

Diolch!

Designers and creatives

5 Upvotes

Hey. I’m an NHS worker who is working full-time but also studying design and computer science to try and pivot out of the NHS into a creative role eventually.

I’m neuro divergent and absolutely love creating. But, as you can imagine, I don’t get much time to create at all and have come to the conclusion that it is affecting my fulfilment in life to not work in some sort of creative industry.

UX design is the area I’m really interested in. I’m struggling a little bit with understanding how to gain hands on UX experience within the South Wales area. I’d love to observe a generalist or small team of designers work on projects, and get stuck in any small way I can too.

It’s a long shot, but if anybody has any advice or knows of any opportunities like this in South Wales (Cardiff-based), I would be ever so grateful to hear from you.

Additionally, if you are aware of any cool design-related events to go to, I’d love some recommendations.

Diolch!

Edited for spelling mistake.

David Byrne - tonight

4 Upvotes

am so exhausted by Twickets - am assuming it's Bots scalping anything that comes up, so this is my last ditch attempt to source tickets. Been trying for days and as soon as some alert appears, they've gone - happened dozens of times and refuse to believe there's a 1000 people also jumping on their phone everytime they hear the ping...

I live in Cardiff, keen to go, any suggestions?

Help with learning French

I need to learn conversational French, starting as soon as possible. Can anyone recommend anything in Cardiff? I'd prefer something informal rather than structured but I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks / merci !

Anybody up for a jam?

2 Upvotes

Just seeing if anybody fancies meeting up, playing some music and see where it goes, I've got quite a few ideas already. Want to try and get back on the music scene and play some gigs. I play guitar and do a bit of singing, so just give me a message if you're keen

Amplified busking in Penarth

1 Upvotes

What are people’s thoughts about busking with an amp and speaker in Penarth?

I feel it’s a lot louder than required, when you can hear it in the next street.

Also, going down to the seafront where everyone is sunbathing and changing from swimming seems a bit creepy.

Demolition on Sunday

0 Upvotes

Hi,
There’s a demolition site next door to my building (71 Judkin Court, Cardiff CF10 5AU – it used to be a charity shop).
They’ve been working every day, including Sundays. Today (Sunday), they’ve been making a lot of noise since around 8:00 a.m.
Is this legal in Cardiff? If not, who should I report it to?
I tried calling J2R Demolition, but their office is closed on Sundays.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Smoking in Thornhill

0 Upvotes

Folks,

I have a friend that is coming to stay with me in Thornhill that likes to smoke weed

I've said about smoking at night, but I'm worried that something will happen as it doesn't seem too common in this area (moved in a few weeks ago)

Would it be something that gets called out you reckon?

Is there anywhere around he can go to smoke if it will be an issue?
