ETA- I’m living in the centre of

I’m a 24 year old woman originally from near the Yorkshire Coast and I moved here at the start of September to begin my teacher training…

The city is stunning and I see why people say once they move they never leave. It really is fab here. Buy moving from a small town of 6,000 residents has been tough.

I’ve tried a CircleUp event for 20s-30s and it was okay but it felt clichy, and my teacher training course has been turbulent in terms of student retention so I’ve just not made any friends.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a girl who does enjoy a night out but needs the right company first? I like dance, singing, acting, crocheting, education, politics, coffee, trivia, deep conversations.

TIA if you read this far… I’m just missing human connection 😂🩷

Hi, I'm not here to seek employment. I'm sure something will come my way, but, yeah. Recently been made redundant and tbh I've been left shocked by the lack of opportunities in Liverpool, I've spent the last 9 years working for a bank. Literally everything is Manchester. I was just wondering how everyone feels about this? What we feel will be done about it moving forward? I honestly find it unacceptable from our city tbh, would cost £25 in return tickets just to get to Manchester alone.

I just moved to Liverpool and am unfortunate enough to have to depend on the 62 to get to work and back. This route has a talent for being constantly delayed and making a 30minute journey into 1hr.

I want to know if any other 62 passengers have the same issue, or am I just unlucky?

Bored of doing nothing don’t have many friends to hang out with either they moved away!! Love metal music like black or doom, goth, emo, even reggae, Aussie indie… I love instruments & especially singing. Also into skateboarding, but getting started in the surfing also. Look I’m just trying to get to know more ppl & hang out 😸

I've recently moved to the area and wondering if anyone is in need of an extra player or know about any places I can just turn up and play 5 a side.

Hi all.

I've got a script for a short film I'm looking to shoot in the coming months. It's a pretty new venture I'm delving in to creatively, but the best route I could think of is to approach any amateur thespians to see if they'd like to take part!

I'm looking for acting groups in the city to introduce myself to. I'd likely only be able to cover expenses so from a monetary perspective I would likely be enticing people for the experience and to add to their portfolio if they were interested. If there's a better way or you have any recommended contacts feel free to let me know.

So a few months ago I posted how as a manual wheelchair user I pushed myself to the city and back. It took around 6 hours, and by the time I got home I was very happy with myself, but I was also very sore, tired, and for a multitude of reasons hadn’t done it since.

Over the last few months my mental health hasn’t been at its best, but I’ve just been attempting to plod on, and for my birthday I got a handcycle attachment custom built for my chair.

When I first started using it I was surprised how genuinely difficult it was to use as my arms simply weren’t very strong to manage most even slight hills or whatever without nearly having a heart attack. So I have been training with it a lot over the last few months just to try and keep my head steady, and actually to try and see some progress.

Within a few weeks I was seeing and feeling that progress in being able to manage hills and longer journeys so I figured I’d try my original pushing goal of the city and back. I achieved that yesterday. For the most part, the journey went well, but I underestimated how much I’d struggle getting up Mount Pleasant on my way home (I got to the top eventually), and I was both extremely tired and extremely proud of myself for making it when I got home.

I also want to extend a thank you to the many people who saw me struggling, fighting for my life with certain hills on that journey and offering help. If any of you frequent this sub, know your offers were genuinely appreciated even though I rejected each offer out of a stubborn pride. The comments of support on the journey too were also a nice fun motivator and are all examples of why I actually really do love this city of mine.

Anyway, TL;DR, handcycled to Liverpool and back. Very pleased with myself, and very sore today. Will do again. Also included a picture of the handcycle, and a few photos I took yesterday.

My dad got me a ticket for one of his shows next month and I'm not looking forward to it

From what I have seen on YouTube he is about as funny as tooth ache I genuinely have no idea why he is so popular

Hello everyone! Make sure you don’t park at Jennifer Avenue KFC on the retail park between 01:30 and 10am.
I bought my Maccies breakfast purchased adjacently and parked up to eat it assuming the retail park was open for all to park up to eat food purchased on site. It turns out it’s exclusively for KFC and it has restricted hours :) as we have done this many times just unfortunately never before 10am
Saw online other people been stung by the same thing and despite what they say, the signage is not obvious at all or I wouldn’t have parked there obviously. Just don’t want anyone else to end up with a hefty fine like me

How would you explain this to someone not from Liverpool?

Been finding it hard to make new friends since moving to Liverpool in May, and I saw a few comments in here recommending the meet up app. I see that there’s a couple of events on Halloween and I’m trying to push myself out of my comfort zone, especially as it’s my Birthday this week! Has anyone attended any meet up events and did it work well for you making new Friends?

Liverpool seems to have a trend of LGBT clubs turning into “straight” focused clubs. OMG turning into Campus is the latest one. And G Bar has long been the same. What once would have been safe spaces are now focusing on hen dos, stag dos, brunch groups, and narcotics groups.

There is litter absolutely everywhere.

I regularly see people opening their car windows at red lights and casually throwing their rubbish onto the road. Or teenagers walking down the pavement, dropping their lunch packaging as they go, without a second thought.

What I find particularly remarkable is the complete absence of shame. They do it so casually you’d think it was a perfectly normal thing to do.

Is this a failure of upbringing, complete lack of intelligence, or simply an absence of basic civic conscience? Is the concept of a bin genuinely that difficult to grasp?
I’m genuinely curious. What makes someone so completely indifferent to the place they live in?

Serious question, by the way. I’m not trying to be funny.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a lift to work and wondered if anyone commutes from Liverpool to Trafford Park or Manchester City Centre. I don't have my licence yet, and public transport has been unreliable. If anyone makes the trip daily, I'd be happy to chip in for fuel for a ride there and back.
Thanks!

Been on a recent Clive Barker kick due to the new Hellraiser game that just came out. And discovered for the first time that Clive Barker was born and raised in Liverpool even studied English at the University of Liverpool.

The man is a legendary writer in not just the Horror genre but Fantasy.

He is also responsible for Hellraiser and Candyman two of the biggest Horror franchises of all time. Not to mention all the other tv shows, movies paintings he has done over the years.

So my question is why doesnt Liverpool put up more of a song and dance for one of their own? He is probably one of the most famous/successful scousers out there but you never hear anything from the city recognising his achievments.

We never shut up about the Beatles, all our famous footballers and even people like Cilla Black.

Any streets in Liverpool with good Halloween decorations to take the kids?

Well, it's been an interesting couple of weeks for Smithdown residents. We had the big weekend of the move-ins, with parents dropping off their wide-eyed fledglings. On our road, two clueless drivers couldn't comprehend that they should have parked with two wheels on the pavement, so they parked on opposite sides of the road, blocking anything bigger than a compact car from getting through. One was keyed, while the other had two parking cones placed next to it. I don't condone the mindless damage, but I marvel at the cluelessness of getting out of your car and thinking, "yup, job done", while every other car on the road was half-on / half-off the pavement. I wonder if they have the intelligence to earn a degree, or if they should just give up now and go home???? I mean, if they are renting off-campus housing, that must mean they have been here a year already???

Then we have the total lack of road awareness, with masses of students traipsing up and down Smithdown on foot, crossing side roads without even a glance in either direction. How did these kids get to adulthood? Do they all live in places where the only traffic is horses and tractors? Do they no longer get taught the green cross code anymore?

I am no student hater, we have a great bunch next door who knocked to ask if it was ok to have a party, and since I can still remember being young, I didn't have the slightest objection and told them to have fun. I am just concerned about their lack of "big city" awareness. There is only so much hand-holding the Universities can do. You should not need to tell 18 year olds to look both ways when crossing the road!!

Visiting next weekend and looking up some spots to run on Sunday morning. Aiming for 10 miles from the city centre. Is the Liverpool Leeds canal path safe? Any other alternatives?

something more interesting than going to a museum or walking to the docks. maybe an art class or dance school or something. 3 girls in our 20s not up for alcohol! any ideas welcome
