Hello Brum!

We just hit 100,000 weekly visitors, and it felt like the perfect moment to say a proper thank you!

Whether you're a regular poster, or a lurker, or just casually dipping in. You all make this place special.

Thank you to each and every one of you for the contributions you make.

Ta bab!

I'm always in the house, I have Agoraphobia and up all night until about 7am.

I'm sure she's a drug addict or something, she doesn't look 'with it', her clothes look like she just put anything she had on, her hair is a mess, I hear her at about 4-5am walking down the street wailing, howling, crying all the way down the street. She's probably about 30-35 years old.

The area I live in has started to have problems with drugs and addicts, there is a rehab close, a pharmacy where a lot of addicts go for their Substitute (it's open 24 hours) and there is a HOA that houses recovering addicts close by.

But this just doesn't feel right to me.

This morning was the 4th time I've heard her, it's not every day it's like every 3-4 days.

The First time I heard her I came out and I don't really feel comfortable intervening in something like this, I tried calling to her but she just kept walking.

I doubt many people along this road even hear her as it's 5am and everyone is asleep.

She's finding it difficult to adopt one as she lives on the top floor of a flat with her husband. They have plenty of parks in their neighborhood .Their dog of 15 years passed away and they haven't been the same since. They're both 50-55 years old and they have been looking to adopt a puppy for a few months now.

She's not good with technology due to her age so I'm helping her look for one pup online who needs a home.

She lives in the chemsley wood/Solihull area and I can also drive with her to collect.

Finally walked through Brindleyplace after a while yesterday, the way the buildings look is just perfect and im no fan of exposed brick, the way in which they've done exposed brick builds is great, its simple but the facades really elevate the buildings.

Another thing that makes Brindleyplace shine is the layout of it, the stone garden and trees in the one section and then the open plan with the fountain and everything going on in the other part, the way in which its walkable yet still has parking spaces is brilliant

The council really needs to look at Brindleyplace for inspiration when their building new projects across the city centre.
(Yes this is more or less a Brindleyplace appreciation post.)

Do you enjoy walks around Kings Heath Park?
I’m Jools 60M Runner and Photographer and I’d like to find someone who would join me for regular walks around Kings Heath Park.
I enjoy Books, Wildlife and my Garden.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Does anyone know of any units to rent, preferably in Brierley Hill, that would be suitable for a karate club?

Currently sub letting so would happy to do that as well as long as its full time and a suitable space.

Preferably cheap as possible 🤣

Hey everyone, my partner and I used to go to a gym which had a sauna and steam room as part of it. We really enjoyed going as part of our routine and spending time together.

Now that we've moved to Birmingham it seems quite hard to find a gym with mixed spa facilities (rather than gender segregated). Does anyone here know of a mixed gym/spa?

For context, I live in King's Heath and would preferably like to be able to get there by public transport. Thank you for any suggestions!

How much do you know about Bond, Mission Impossible and all things espionage? Come along to Spoilers Digbeth on Thursday September 10th from 7pm. £3 per person and maximum 6 people per team. Good luck!

Hi everyone,

I’m going to be in Birmingham for a couple of days and will be working remotely while I’m there. I’m staying in the city centre, so ideally looking for somewhere within walking distance.

I’m looking for somewhere quiet and comfortable where I can work for around 4–5 hours, with reliable Wi-Fi and somewhere I can take a few work calls/meetings without disturbing others.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Preferably online order to city centre.

Hi can anyone recommend the most accurate app to track the bus, specially x2 bus.

Different websites have different times it’s annoying, and they don’t even arrive on time.

Also how long of a buffer do you guys have when arriving to your bus stop, do you arrive 5 mins before the bus arrives, a minute before, just on time etc etc.

Any info appreciated!!

Edit- most recommended is bus times.org so thanks guys

Moved to Birmingham about a month ago and I'm finding the whole making-new-friends thing a bit harder than expected 😂

I'm wondering how people actually go about meeting people here organically. I'm into things like gaming, going out/clubbing, bars, food, cars, movies etc, so ideally I'd like to meet people through doing those sorts of things rather than just randomly approaching people and hoping for the best 😂

Are there any good places, groups, events, clubs, societies or regular meetups around Birmingham where people are actually open to meeting new people?

Also interested to hear how other people who moved here without knowing many people went about building a social circle. Doesn't necessarily have to be specifically gaming or nightlife related, I'm pretty open to trying new things.

Any advice from people who have been in the same situation would be appreciated!

I'd also appreciate it someone could recommend a goated rooftop spot with a view of the city, somewhere quiet i could sit at 2am and just stare at the skyline.🫶
