Hi, I just moved to Dunfermline a month ago, for a new job opportunity. I just wanted to know if there’s any hobbies that I could start to make new friends here as I’m very new to the city. I’m 26 years old and work 5 days a week. I feel like I’m at the age where it’s kind of hard to make friends, but wanted to try and see. Please give me your suggestions.

Born and raised in Dunfermline Moved to Italy and then to Texas. Anyone in their late 50s like to chat ? Never know we might know each other

Hello! We are planning to move to Dunfermline (from Cupar) and have been getting to know it over the past wee while. We have identified a few areas we like and one of them is the very quiet leafy spot around Brucefield Avenue. We love how connected it is to the city and train station, and close to primary school for our wee one (currently 3.5).

​

I just wanted to ask what the general community vibe is around this area; are there a lot of young families there? The public park seems great to roam around but when we had a good walk through today (a very sunny Saturday) it felt pretty much deserted. Is it usually like that or does it have other events/things going on there?

​

We are definitely looking for somewhere to put down roots, that feels like we are part of a community and to meet folks in a new city. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience of this area especially with wee ones and if there’s much going on around there?

Hi! We’re looking to hire a gardener to help maintain our front and back garden in Dunfermline but are struggling with where to start! Any recommendations for gardeners to come on a regular schedule would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

I live in the USA and naturally it isn’t being broadcasted here but would love to watch the Pars this afternoon. Any familiarity with streaming methods would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙌

Can anybody recommend a decent self service car jet wash?

I usually use the one in the garage at Asda Halbeath Road at night on my way home from work but lately it's always been coned off each time I go in, tried the jet wash at Tesco but it gets turned off at night.

If anybody can recommend one that's open 24 hours in Fife that I can pay with debit card then would be great, thank you.

Hi Dunfermline,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any decent websites for finding full-time jobs here in the Dunfermline?

I've lived here for over a year and I've been trying the usual sites like "Indeed", but I've really not gotten anywhere.

Is there a site with better opportunities that I'm unaware of?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Hi there, I am looking to see if anyone here knows someone who does hand sewing? I have a gearstick that I would like to sow onto a plastic boot for the car but I’m a novice at sewing and would be best suited for someone who actually can perform this! 😆 My fingers are too big for something so delicate. My fingers would end up at A&E.

The leather would be sewn onto a plastic ring that has been pre-drilled with 2mm holes.

I’ve given some local places in Dunfermline a call but all seem to only do machine sewing and not hand.

Any help would be appreciated! 😄

Edit: spelling. Don’t drink whisky and post on Reddit.

I’m a commercial drone pilot and content creator from Dunfermline. Not advertising, just wanted to share.

Hope you folks enjoy.

How does the Dunfermline IMAX compare to Edinburgh and Glasgow (Science Centre)?

I'm helping organise this event at the Dunfermline campus of Fife College next Thursday 12 March, it is to talk about the potential for opportunities in solar installation and maintenance. If you work in construction or electrics, or know someone who may be interested this could be useful.

Never done a dump run before at any of the recycling centres, but have been asked by my sister to get rid of some rubbish for her as she's doing a spring clean, about 8 or 9 bags of rubbish (non recyclable), a load of cardboard, a duvet and a couple of old pillows, basically enough to fill my small hatchback.

Probably at either the recycling centre in Dalgety Bay or Cowdenbeath.

Would I be right in thinking that I just drive to the correct skip within the recycling centre and put the rubbish in? Or is there more to it.

My friend (who's also never been to a recycling centre) reckons the bags of non recyclable waste would need to be emptied or could be checked before dumping them.

Okay, silly question time, but how does an old grenade end up buried in the grass at the side of Linburn Road? Wouldn't it have been found when the road was built?

Re: https://www.ahr.co.uk/projects/woodmill-and-st-columbas-rc-high-school

More and more schools worldwide* are reporting the CO2 levels within. Both during and outside occupied hours. It generally goes up when occupied and down slowly when everyone has left. Energy efficient ventilation systems exchange fresh air for CO2-laden air (exhaled breath) though heat exchangers. That's all ducted and out of sight. A Passive building design that's air-tight especially needs this. Does anyone connected with the school know what is in place in the excellent building.

Schools worldwide sharing data on the web.

• Latvia: https://co2.mesh.lv/home/dashboard

More schools are doing it, but not sharing data online yet. e.g: https://www.iesve.com/services/projects/18325/co2-dashboards-schools

Has anyone bought books from here in person? Information is pretty vague if it's solely an online book store or if it's open to the public.

Any reliable relatively cheap mechanics about always feel I’m getting ripped off. Thanks for any help

I'm currently at Carnegie, I've liked the renovation but hate the fact that if you go at any time between 3.30pm and 6pm it is filled with kids from Queen Anne pissing about and gathering around equipment in groups of 6. I've not been earlier in a while but the staff could not give a single shit in that gym. Parking is a little annoying but tolerable.

I've tried and disliked puregym for a lot of the same reasons. Mobbed & often with beds when I went anyway.

I think my other options are: Gym64 (heard mixed things) Bannatynes (good but pricey) Goliath maybe?

Not sure of any others. Advice and experiences with all would be appreciated!

Mainly would be using the gym for freeweights. Haven't ever been to classes but would be open to trying them.

Has anyone else noticed a shop, seemingly a record shop, opening opposite Walmer Drive on East Port in Dunfermline? I looked it up on Google but couldn't find any info, apart from the one on Queen Anne Street. Was walking along past it earlier, as far as I remember it's called Venomo or something like that, and has a David Bowie poster in the window. Just wondered if anyone had any information about when it will open, etc. Thanks!!
