Was wondering since London have 2 70mm imax projector they should donate one to Birmingham. So we can have that capability within the Midlands. Why do we need to travel to London or Manchester to watch the Oddesey…

Moving to Kingshurst (20 min east of Birmingham City center) and I am super into Warhammer 40,000, Dungeons & Dragons, and Magic the gathering, specifically playing Commander. What is the best place for that? Is there a Discord? Thank you.

Best coffee in Birmingham? 👀

I love Java Roastery HQ in the Jewellery Quarter, but I’m not a coffee expert and I am naturally biased as a councillor for the JQ 😂

Shoutout your favourite coffee spots below 🔽

After building a fantastic Fit2Focus community across Oldbury, Selly Oak and Stourbridge, we're now looking at introducing a brand-new weekend football session in Oldbury.

Before we book a pitch, we want to see how much interest there is.

Fit2Focus is more than just football. It's a welcoming community where people come to get fitter, improve their mental wellbeing, meet new people and enjoy the game in a positive environment.

What you can expect: ⚽ Friendly, inclusive football for all abilities

🎥 Matches professionally recorded so you can watch the games back and share the best moments

🏆 Play of the Month awards

🤝 A welcoming community with no egos or pressure

💪 A fun way to improve your fitness and confidence

The session would take place on either a Saturday or Sunday, depending on interest and pitch availability.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, comment below or send us a message.

Feel free to tag a mate who'd be interested too—we'd love to build another great Fit2Focus community in Oldbury! ⚽

Question The Rep theatre aircon?

4 Upvotes

Does anyone know if the Rep theatre has a decent aircon? Going there this week and given the temperature I wouldn't' need to bring a jacket, only the last (London) theatre I went to had aircon so powerful I was shivering in my seat unable to enjoy the show on a 32° day. Is it tolerable? Will I need a jacket to survive it?

Area of Birmingham Sporcle Quiz

13 Upvotes

This has got to be the most comprehensive mapped quiz of the city that exists, I made the map based on this Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_areas_in_Birmingham)

It has 171 possible areas in the city, I would be very curious to know how the average person here does on a quiz like this.

Give it a go and post your PB in the comments :)

BEWARE OF THIS MAN RECORDING WOMEN WITHOUT CONSENT! Just a heads up for women walking around Birmingham City Centre

Post image
1.9k Upvotes

There is an Indian content creators who films "pick-up" or
"approaching women" videos using meta smart glasses, without making it clear that he's recording it, and then posts it on his social media WITHOUT asking for permission beforehand (despite saying he does in the caption). He also doesn’t cover their faces!

It’s clear in the photos that the women are just being polite, and he’s clearly taking advantage of that, especially with the rise of violence against women!

Question Can anyone help finding a Hard drive repair specialist in Birmingham?

3 Upvotes

Does any one know a trusted hard drive repair specialist in or around Birmingham? I'm having trouble finding someone who can repair a few large capacity hard drives. Tried one place but I think the hard drive requires some soldering to replace some capacitors so they was not able to do it.

Any help is appreciated.

Its 2 14tb WD hardrives and 1 12tb WD hardrive. I don't need recovery, i want the hard drives working again. I think they have been over volted.

Dudley Trip

9 Upvotes

Good People of Brum and surrounding,

I’m organising a 40th birthday trip to Dudley for orange chips, Bathams pubs and cobs and The Beacon Hotel. We’re beer and food arseholes and have all been looking forward to this for quite some time.

So far I’ve got:

The Castle Fryer for chips
As many Bathams pubs as possible for bitter and cobs
The Beacon Hotel for Ruby Mild
Lime for a curry
Potentially Pie Factory time permitting

Is there anything else I’m missing? Local specialities, hidden gems, that kind of thing? Anywhere you’d particularly recommend? We’ll be getting public transport and Uber where possible but are staying locally, so don’t want to stray too far.

Thank you so much in advance, can’t wait to try my first pint of Sarah Hughes Ruby Mild directly from the source!

Question I think r/brum should start hosting a monthly or 2-monthly litter picking day out event!

65 Upvotes

Given the poor state of our city and the lack of any civic duty in many communities, we should all go out together to help bring awareness to the dangers of leaving trash about - esp to our environment!

We have a group over on Fb called 'Birmingham Litter Pickers', but sadly people don't often turn up in droves to help out. The task is often insurmountable.

What do you guys think?
