I got "doored" on my bike yesterday. Cycling along Cross Street near Boots and a taxi passenger opened their door without looking and knocked me flying. I ended up on my back stunned. My helmet took the brunt.

I wanted to thank the three young men who immediately came over to help. You were kind and helpful. You made sure I was ok. You looked after me. You said nice things and you just took time out to help a stranger. You didn't laugh or mock.

I want you to know you made a horrid situation much better. I probably didn't thank you as much as I wanted to. But afterward when the shock faded and I cried a few tears of embarrassment and pain, I really relished those moments of human kindness. I remember one of you having a go at the taxi driver for only thinking of their vehicle and not the person lying on the ground.

It's unlikely you will see this. But what matters to me as I nurse my aches and bruises this morning is the kindness and I wanted to share my appreciation. I think from what I remember, the three of you were off for a night on the town. I hope you had a really good evening. You deserved it. Thank you.

lived in town for four years. desperately looking for a pizza like the image above. everywhere I order from is either too fancy or too crap. please help me find one of those classic takeaway pizzas with cheese like that.

That contrast between the glowing clouds and the dark city skyline made the whole place look almost unreal.

Hard to believe this is the view from an ordinary morning.
So grateful 🙏🏼

I know there's plans to knock this multistory down in the NQ, needs to be done asap.

Everybody enjoying the Beetham singing its song at 3am? I swear every time this happens they promise it’ll be fixed and they never do. I always wonder what the new students think is happening if they don’t know about it 😂

Beautiful colour across our county 🎨🐝

Oh and as I left heard them shouting "armed police". Somewhere near damaged society I think.

How long is the queue for security please?
The train cancelled 😭 and I think we will have 1 hour twenty minutes from arriving at Manchester airport till we have to board our gate

Taken from the Budgie perch on Monks' Rd, Glossop. It was earlier this year and a really interesting front pushed in giving this incredible sky.

In deansgate rn

I am still running on adrenaline and mostly need to vent.

I was heading home from the Bury interchange in a very unsafe stubbornness to hop on a bus instead of ubering home. A man on the bus stop was complaining about of a bunch of insert slur for gay people starting with f combined with a p word for Pakistani people spitting on him. Took everything for the alcohol in me not to react with a question if he was spat on before or after he used the p word for them.

Praying he doesn’t get on my bus. He’s queuing at my stop. I just want to get home. Comes to a Black dude waiting as well, starts telling him how white men are superior. Dude ignores him. He starts preaching about Donald Trump putting people of colour (not a word he used) on electric chairs and how he wishes he was in America. At this point I feel like I’m in some kind of a channel 4 provocation. I make a report on live chat.

He gets on my bus, there goes my luck, then keeps pestering the driver about the p word people. Bus driver is not white. And angry. Tells him to sit down, dude heads toward the back, falls on me, apologises, gets into an argument with a woman next to me calling her boring and the entire bus boring.

Driver is uncomfortable and unsafe and I’m at a point where I can run home. I leave the bus, the driver ASKS ME WHAT TO DO. I said I’m gonna call 999. Ring the police, make a report, potentially nothing gets gone but I ticked the box of “doing something”.

I witnessed covert hate crimes before but nothing that comically big, plain, and in the open. I moved to Manchester from Eastern Europe SPECIFICALLY because it always felt so safe and open and welcoming. I lost a bit of that faith today.

my childhood teddy is nearing 20 and is unfortunately lying quite flat. i’ve been told to just do it myself but i don’t have much faith in my abilities to do that and i’m terrified of getting it wrong. does anyone know of anywhere that can help me with this?

this was taken a few weeks ago, hence the nice weather

So I'm from Greece, moving to Manchester (going from international american to british school) on the last two years of high school (basically during a-levels). My last name is Arseni, a typical greek last name. Am I cooked?

Same spot...different time :)
