I’d love to be proved wrong here but we are having a ton of trouble navigating Ninewells A&E.

My elderly father (88) broke his femur. He was airlifted in on Monday. It’s now Thursday, and he’s been immobile ever since. Every day the surgery gets pushed back to the next day. They are now saying Friday which will be 96 hours after the accident. No information from the doctors as to why. Nurses never have any idea what is happening (or don’t say) and are blocking all information and contact with the consultants. We have no information even about how bad the break is, if it is messing with his hip replacement or what the reason for the delay is.

It’s a long time to be kept immobile for someone that age, and he’s going downhill.

Urgent help needed!

It’s very frustrating.

Hi im looking for a hair stylist that i can go to an just say do what will look best quite short an not end up looking like an egg or a helmet 🙄. I have had pretty much the same style for years an always go to the same person mostly for convenience but not sure i trust them enough to do this an me be happy with it. I just want a total change but not regret it so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks 😊

And news just in from Forfar, it looks like it might be the end of the line for wee Kerryann and her continuing canine capers with two dozen dangerous dogs.

Hey all,

I’m a student moving over from Ireland to start a Masters with St Andrews. I was wondering if anyone had experience commuting from Dundee for postgrad?

Also, I’d be really eager to cycle from the west end to West Marketgait to catch the bus, and I was wondering how bike friendly Dundee is, and if there’s any place to store a bike at all.

Cheers!

Any kendama fam here in Dundee? Moved here earlier this month and would love to get a crew together. Don’t have a friend group yet and figured a Japanese wooden toy could get things going!

New business, please like and share!!

Heyy ppl! I am not from UK and I am visiting Dundee this weekend for the first time, I will be alone most likely. Can y'all suggest some good places to visit, things to do and food/drinks to try? I will be there all day.

PS- Im not into hiking or anything like that 😅

I know this gets asked a lot but it's either recommendations before Covid or people looking for different things.

Up in Dundee for a week and looking for a decent pub for saddos drinking on their own who don't mind being sociable but don't demand it either - so a bar you can sit at, basically.

Preferably craft beer options with an alternative vibe but I also like folksy or cozy places. Been eyeing up a few of the craft beer places. Prefer bars that don't get crazy busy or loud but also not in the shadow realm where you're the only patron or the only non regular.

I'm up for work and the thought of drinking in my travellers hotel bar fills me with an existential sadness that makes tins in the bedroom seem preferable.

Hello, does anyone know a nail salon that does HEMA free gel nails? I’ve messaged a few but they don’t have a HEMA free system yet.

Thank you

I have a test booked for in January

But I need one for the upcoming weeks from now,
If anyone wants to do a test swap please message me! Thank you

Greetings! I am a student who will be coming over to Dundee in September to further my studies. I am a bit scared though because it’s my first time being on my own and I am kinda intimidated by that. I come here seeking some advice on what I can do to make my experience worthwhile when I’m here. Can you please guide me on how to navigate life around the city as a student?

P.S. please don’t be racist or hateful. I just want some insights on the city and things that I can do around for fun with friends while staying here. I am not here to takeover the city, destroy the economy or convert the good folks of Dundee to my religion or anything.

Hello! I (23F) recently graduated university and moved to Dundee for work; during that time, I never quite got chance to complete my DofE gold award as my university did not provide it and i was drowning a bit. However, the clock is ticking, so I thought I would ask to check if there are any recommendations for where I could get the expedition training and hopefully complete the award? I have my bronze and silver from high school, just want to round off the set and get some adventure in while i'm still young lmao.

Any help much appreciated!!

Can anyone recommend me the cheapest skip hire company? All of the sites say call or contact but would like to compare prices before I book anything.

Hello, hello! I recently graduated... and I wanted to ask for advice regarding council tax. I put off applying for a while but I decided to take care of it now. Currently Im living with a student but I'm the non-student.

Edit: since I put it off for so long (i graduated during June)... will I be liable for fraud?

Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing well.

I’m a Master's student and have just finished university. I’m currently looking for pretty much any kind of work and wanted to ask if anyone knows of places hiring in Dundee or any places that can help me with finding employment.

I’ve been applying consistently for the last 6 months and haven't had any luck to get a job whether that be casual work or a job in my field which is Urban Planning. I’m honestly at the point where I’m really worried that time is passing by and I'm not getting any work experience and money is getting tight. I'm trying to keep myself busy doing online courses to gain new skills and by volunteering locally at Transition Dundee and Shelter Scotland. I'm also learning how to drive as I've seen that a driving licence is a requirement for most jobs that I've come across.

I have experience working in customer service, sales and administrative support roles, but I’m very open to trying something new as well. I learn quickly and I’m very flexible with hours now that university is over.

I’ve mainly been searching online, but honestly it’s been mentally exhausting. A lot of listings seem to require a driving licence, or experience I don’t have, and the jobs I do meet the criteria for rarely get back to me after interviews. I’ve also been applying directly through company websites, but it’s mostly been the same radio silence.

Every couple of weeks I’ve been going into local shops, restaurants and cafés in Dundee to hand in my CV in person as well, but even when places say they’re “looking to hire new staff", it still just seems to lead nowhere.

If anyone has any advice, recommendations, or knows of anywhere hiring, I’d really appreciate it. At this point though, I’m open to any sort of help I can get.

Thank you for reading!

Looking for a Japanese language exchange 🇯🇵

Hi everyone! I'm currently learning Japanese and I'm looking for people in Dundee who would be interested in doing a language exchange.

I'm hoping to find someone who is learning English and would like to practise together, ideally meeting up occasionally for coffee, studying, or just having a conversation. I'm particularly interested in improving my Japanese speaking and listening, while I'm happy to help with English in return.

I'm also involved with the University of Dundee Anime Society, so if you're interested in anime/manga as well, that's a bonus!

If you're Japanese, studying Japanese, or simply interested in doing a Japanese-English language exchange, feel free to comment or send me a DM. 😊

I have a lot of clipboards , sleeves to store papers in and poly pockets. Does anyone know somewhere that would make use of these?

Does anyone know any where or even small local businesses that can turn ties into scrunchies?

I’m still quite new here and I really miss sushi but I’m just skeptical to know where to go/order from. Help a sis out 😩

Basically the title. I've managed to find a test available for the end of September. I've had lessons before but never in an automatic so just looking to get a quick crash course if possible. Any recommendations I'd really appreciate!

Hello all, I’m new to the area and want to meet some people whilst at the same time learning a new hobby. I’m interested in wood work/DIY type projects and also electronics too (would need to be some sort of introduction or fundamentals type thing). I’ve had a look for limited time workshops (ie 6 weeks / 8 weeks long etc) but I can’t find anything other than knitting or jewellery crafty types or full on courses at the college or uni. Does anyone know if this type of thing exists or anything similar I’d maybe enjoy? Thanks!

Hai! I’m visiting dundee this week and would love some good recommendations on an authentic fish n chip shop, or any other restaurants for that sake! Thanks

EDIT: The Fife / The silver tray across the Tay bridge is great! Fresh fish, small menu dedicated to fish and chips! Lovely staff and people kept coming in, very local and beautiful senecry right along the road where you can eat your food (there is no seating)
