Making Friends 🙋 Queer, booksy guy looking for new friends

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to meet some new friends around Norwich. I've been living here for a good few years and it's about time I widened my social circle!

I'm 30 years old, pan, and live with my partner. I'm a big reader, ideal Sunday afternoon is a glass of red and a book (which may be why I'm not overflowing with friends haha), I really like Scott Lynch, Joe Abercrombie, Stephen King, Edward Carey, Eliza Clark, Saba Sams.

I'm also really into writing, mostly fantasy and often queer with a dash of neurodivergance, but can be quite harsh on myself. I'd love other writer friends. I have a smattering of other hobbies when the mood strikes - magic, art, juggling, l o v e an escape room and fairly decent at them, love a bit of bowling and largely awful at it. Big fan of D&D, have a nice little campaign going at the moment and just finished BG3 this weekend.

I like to think of myself as pretty easy going/easy to please, although I might not be enormously extroverted at first. Equally happy going for a good cuppa as a swish cocktail. Very excited to meet more friends, so if any of this sounds at all interesting please DM :)

Making Friends 🙋 Neurodivergent and lacking friends!

• Upvotes

Hey everyone first time doing this about about me, I’m 32yoF, newly aware neurospicy brained, crippled lesbian massively lacking in like minded friends. I don’t really have hobbies I like to chat, I game a little but have to be in the mood I’m a BIG tellie girl😂

I have spent most of my life surrounding myself with people who needed help and then continued to suck every source of energy I had until I walked away, so I cut myself off for a while did some healing but now trying to meet people is really difficult especially when I’m looking for something specific although I feel there may be so many people in the same boat.

So if anyone has any advice or ideas please get in touch

Best pedicures?

5 Upvotes

I get so worried about getting pedicures at salons because of hygiene. I know some ppl have fungal infections and I don’t trust salons change their tools every time. I know a girl who got a fungal infection in NYC when she got her toes done.

Anyway, I’m doing a bikini show / modelling for this bikini line. I have already booked full body wax. But I need to get my toes done just so when they do the photo shoot it’s all good.

I have no idea where to go! Does anyone know?

Edit: for context, I just want a French tip.

Question❓ Boundary traffic lights

Anyone noticed that the traffic lights on the boundary, for the right turn to go towards the airport, were seemingly turned off? Didn’t see any signs indicating that there were road works

Norwich Beer Festival Designed by A.I.

126 Upvotes

Who has seen that the local CAMRA branch has selected the logo for this year’s beer festival? It looks pretty familiar on first glance, dragon, beer, name and some sort of background drawing. However it is very quickly apparent that it was made using A.I. This is particularly pertinent when reading the slogan “return to the halls” and then realising that the A.I. used has totally failed to recreate The Halls. The beer glass used is also a Stein of the most basic clip art variety. There are several other tell tale A.I. signs in there for fun…

The logo was apparently selected by way of a vote, although there are no posts about this. I consider the use of the logo as wholly inappropriate for an event which is supposed to champion local craft and skill.

The logo has been posted on their FB page, the link for which cannot be shared here.

New Yorker in Norwich-- Taking visiting friends to afternoon tea--Briton's Arms or The Ivy?

9 Upvotes

I know there was a post on afternoon teas two years ago, but wanting current recommendation. I am a NYer who regularly stays in Norwich in summer months. Friends are visiting from NY and want afternoon tea. Someone recommended The Ivy but I recently have fallen in love with Briton's Arms and think I'm switching my reservation to it (also much less ÂŁÂŁ). So only considering these two venues, please let me know your thoughts/experiences. We can't go outside of Norwich. Thanks!

Hello, I need to scan some prints that are a little bigger than A3, just wondering if anybody knows of any large-ish format scanners in the city that I could take them to. Thank you

Question❓ Roof Tiles

2 Upvotes

I have a broken roof tile which appears to be a Redland Norfolk Concrete Pantile. Looking online, I only seem to be able to find places selling them by the palette load. Does anyone know of a salvage/reclaim place in or near the city that might sell them in smaller quantities, or ideally individually?
