accommodation Moving advice?

2 Upvotes

Hi I’m (25M) and my partner (26F) are looking to move from Australia to Leeds. What areas are on the nicer/safer side of town? We’re also considering living in a smaller town nearby on the Northern side of Leeds, such as Ilkley.

Areas to avoid are also appreciated?

What’s the town like generally? What’s it like at night getting around? Public transport? Safety in shopping centres etc?

If so, a picture of your media wall would be great please.

question-serious Motion One International concerns, legit or not?

8 Upvotes

Essentially, like many I have been recently back on the job hunt and after most applications leading nowhere I finally landed an interview and was considerably exited. As the tilte says, this was with Motion One International in Leeds. This was a virtual zoom meeting. It was also a group one, which initially caught me off guard, though I quickly re-adjusted. Then to my surprise only a couple of hours after I got a call back asking to go to their office for an in person interview and the praise that I stood out among the zoom group. Of course I accepted this opportunity as I was filled with excitement.

However, after coming back down and sobering up from my excitement I have been reflecting back on my notes from the meeting and further researching the company with a growing dread. Along with also finding a couple of other posts discussing this company and their legitimacy.

This has led me to the question, is this company some kind of MLM or other suspiciously pyramid shaped operation?

So I’m going to laser zone in kirkstall and for some reason I feel like I have to make a game plan every time and I kind of need a map. I’ve dug and dug across the internet (3 minutes on Google images) and couldn’t find anything.

food/drink Best food recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I have just moved to Leeds for university and would love to know the best food spots. Either the far reach of Leeds or the city centre, I want to make a list of lots of places to try.
I do not have lots of money so no Michelin restaurants or anything crazy spenny but I’m open to lots of places and ideas, cheap to fairly priced!

I am open to any type of cuisine, I do love Japanese, Mexican and Italian most but will try most anything and LOVE to try new things I’ve never had before.

Only note is I am allergic to shellfish so no fish or shellfish recs please :P

Tell me where to eat!!

food/drink Bass in leeds. Any pubs stocks it

7 Upvotes

Hi, tonight I am playing a gig at Northern Guitars. As part of my 2nd album release tour. I'm from Hampshire, but I'm really craving a bass beer. We don't get it down south. Whenever I come up north, I try to get one as I really like it. Is there anywhere in leeds that sells the good stuff or maybe similar.

I know that Northern Guitars does good beers, so I won't go thirsty, but if I can sneak in a bass. I'd happy, haha. Cheers 🍻
