I was in disbelief when I asked bossman how much a portion of wings was. That's 50p per wing. Back in my day (like 2 years ago) I used to get 4 wings and chips for £1.50.
Inflation's gone too far! Capitalism never ceases to amaze me. SMH.
Hello there,
I am planning to move to Leicester in January as of my new job.
I have been looking for nice areas to live near the hospital. Friends of mine have recommended Clarendon park,oadby,stoney gate,Victoria park.
Just out of interest as I can not find anything to live there at the moment.Are there any other areas you would recommend that someone can live? What about for example west end,west cots and aylesford park? Have also found a nice place at Wolsey island but have been told it’s not great there.
I was wondering if you could advise me. Any recommendation would be appreciated !
Many thanks and wish you all a happy Xmas!
Yooo. I’m a trans male (born female) 19 year old dude, turning 20 soon. I don’t have much of a network or anything where I’m at and I’m struggling to find jobs. I’ve had a few different jobs before and they’ve all been… disappointing LMAOOO but it’s okay, we ball. I’m just trying to find somewhere I can comfortably work and meet new people at the same time. I don’t have many qualifications as school did me dirty and college made promises they couldn’t keep lmao, so I’m kinda in the deep end with no floating device or something. I did fire safety training, I’m a very social person and usually very adaptable to any situation I’m in. But finding jobs now is somehow more difficult than I thought and I’m kind of at the point where I’m gonna resort to starting my own underground business LMAO (joking, obviously)
Hey everyone , 26 male here looking for new friends with similar hobbies. Im a big gamer mainly MMOs such as WoW and FF14 but open to all genres. Im also into sports mainly Football and Basketball(more watching than playing these days)
I recently starting watching videos of Warhammer 40k and I am hoping to take this hobby up in the next few weeks.
I am a home body and kind of introverted, but am open to making friends who are diffefent to me.
If I sound even a bit interesting my dms are open!(Please nothing sexual I am NOT open to experimenting)
Hi all! I thought I’d share an instagram page I’ve just got set up. I’m sure if you’re a filmmaker you follow @ukfilmwork - I wanted to set something up that was Midlands based, cause ukfilmwork is basically just London film work.
If you aren’t aware of the concept, it’s just a page that shares callouts for crew, actors, locations, equipment etc. You just tag them in a post / story and they share it for all their followers to see. I think it’s a great concept, so I wanted to bring it to a Midlands specific audience.
Please go give it a follow so we can get it growing!
Any gardeners raccomendations? I am in LE2. Overgrown grass and vegetation, need to remove some plants including some rose plants (thorny) ecc and maybe remove some small trees.
Follow up question, do they take the garden waste with them or is that up to me to clear? Ideally Id like them to sort that too.
Thanks!

EDIT: probably should’ve mentioned j play the violin😅

Or know the trick to making it actually work?

Hello I'm 32 year old female, born & bred from Leicester. I'm quite a shy person to be fair. My anxiety & confidence hasn't really helped me all my life & I do struggle with going out & making new friends/meeting new people as I'm just really unlikable. Never really had any friends growing up to be fair. I am a lovely person at heart. I am a very outdoorsy person & would love to make/meet some lovely people on here.
Tickets are either not available or Much Higher rates than usual on Saturday? What's going on? Any particular Event in Leicester?
This Sunday (Dec 1st) I'm flying to London and I need to get to Leicester. I'm arriving at Heathrow at 15:30. Is there any way other than the National Express or the train from St Pancras? Should I book in advance online or can I book tickets there?
I'm leaving next Saturday (Dec 7) and I need to be at Heathrow by 9:00, 10:00 at the latest. What the best way for that?
Also what are the prices for the tickets? Do they vary?
I seem like a noob, this is my first time travelling all on my own and I'm not used to using public transit for intercity travel so I'm freaking out. Any help is appreciated! Cheers!
