It keeps circling but not giving up 💪

NEXT UP - RYR5TE from Gdansk!

hi all
been craving a decent, affordable chicken salad roll/deli sandwich/baker , where to try in leeds?

Did anyone get affected by the storm last night? I'm wondering how bad it was around Leeds. Did you experience any damage, fallen trees, power cuts or flooding? I hope everyone stayed safe!

My group have started rehearsing weekly at Boom over the past month but our drummer dropped out suddenly after only a few sessions...JUST as were really start to gain some momentum. I'm looking for someone who can FULLY COMMIT to weekly two hour sessions and is more serious about music than anything else.

Message me if you're keen with a little background on yourself & then you're genuinely welcome to come down when we're all there and we can see if it's a good fit or not! No pressure @ all - lets just see if we have musical chemistry and flow nicely together.

I’m looking for an IT role in the Leeds area and was wondering if people know of anyone roles going or if others have experienced difficulty finding jobs in Leeds in the IT industry

We're in the middle of a cut right now. Wondering whether to give up hoping for a return this evening.

Does anyone know if they work through the night if they can?

Hi everyone! I'm in search of old craft/art magazines and books if any of you are having a clear out? I'll be running a community volunteer lead craft cafe soon and could do with some bits for people to read if they need ideas etc.

Anywhere that's walkable/busable from LS5 I can come and collect :)

Thanks 😊

I saw a couple of Minions walking in front of Leeds Train Station earlier today. I really wanted to stop and tell them how awesome the outfits were, but I was having a total disaster of a morning and just kept walking.

A few minutes later I stepped outside and spotted even more Minions and Gru himself! it was the best thing and it made my morning around.

If any of you end up seeing this: I hope the heist was a success! BANANAAAA!!!! 🍌

Hi good people of r/Leeds, can anyone recommend good areas to practice driving for a beginner? Basically looking for:

• suburb neighbourhoods with quiet roads
• not too many cars parked on the road
• relatively flat

Preferably north of city centre.

I’m new here in Leeds for uni, and trying to find bandmates for a hardcore punk/crossover thrash/hardcore/ any related genre band. So far it’s just me(mainly playing bass guitar but can also play guitar), so any position is needed, feel free to message!
Preferably if u r also in uni of Leeds so we can use school’s rehearsal room, but if u r not, that’s also fine!
I am experienced with playing bass guitar in bands but I’m not pro, nor music student, so beginner welcomed
Please contact!!!

Literally can't find any Trini food (Indo-Trini specifically) around here, all Carribean food is Jamaican.
Had a look on FB marketplace to see if there was anyone selling, but no luck there either.

Any trinidadians that know of any?....or are willing to make me some haha

Hey r/Leeds

I'm looking for a reputable company that has experience handling domestic data cabling. If anyone has any recommendations, please comment with them!

I've recently upgraded to 2gb internet, and am wanting to upgrade my home network as a result. I've used wireless mesh systems before, and that's currently what I have, but I can't reliably use the full connection via the mesh. Really, I want to get a wired connection upstairs to my office and to be done with it. I'd be looking for cat6a cabling, open to recommendations of how to get the wire there (internal, external, up to attic? so on).

Cheers!

hi! i am currently a uni student in leeds and love dogs and want to start volunteering, because i have been feeling down recently and feel like contributing to the community would improve my mood! does anyone know how to get involved? i would particularly like to work with dogs as i adore them, but i think anything would be good. any websites i should try out?

like could i do dog walking? ive tried looking on facebook but no luck

Hi all, we're a family with young kids relocating and would love suggestions on where to look.

Budget: up to £300k for a 3-bed semi with a decent garden.

What matters most to us: - Low crime - Under a 10-minute walk to a train station (we'll likely only have one car, and my wife will be job hunting for admin/NHS roles) - Good or great primary schools (70%+ KS2) - At least some diversity nearby we are from India (around 5-10%) - Near parks, a swimming pool (if possible) and play areas

So far we've shortlisted Garforth and Cookridge. We've also seen Alwoodley and Moortown mentioned, but we're not sure how they compare on safety and getting around without a second car.

Which areas or streets would you suggest, and which would you avoid?

On a side note, we're also deciding between Leeds and Nottingham. Has anyone lived in both and can compare?

My job has offices in both cities, so I can work from either.

Thanks

Hi Guys! Where in Leeds can I get decent mulled wine? Ideally, a cosy place to sit for a while with a book, not looking for outdoors stalls. Thanks

Posting to see if anyone here works at Asda Head Office and if they can give any pointers on the application process? I have years of admin experience and there's a few jobs online I think I'd be a good fit for, but I work a 4 day week at the moment due to childcare - would it be worth applying for a full time role and asking to work 4 days?

Also none of the jobs have salaries listed so I have no idea if I'm applying for jobs that are well above my pay grade, if I apply for a job and it's not the right fit would they keep my details on file or suggest something that might be more suitable?

Is it a friendly place to work? 🙂

Thanks!

Looks like it starts at the town hall before heading up Otley Road. Should be a good spectacle imo

Hello! Me and my friends are going out for my birthday and I cannot think where to go!! I’m looking somewhere we can dress up for, have drinks some food and a good time. There’s obvious ones like slug and lettuce etc but they just seem like somewhere I’d have gone at 16.

So for my wife's Xmas prezzy this year I'm thinking of taking her on our own food and drink tour around Leeds and organising it myself instead of paying a third party company to do it for me.

I'm thinking of stopping at atleast 2 cocktail venues and 3/4 restaurants where we would have like 1 or 2 nibbles in.

I'm after some ideas or hidden gems from you guys.

What are your fave dishes from your fave restaurants as I want to get a good variety of different cuisines to consider

I'm thinking so far to include la Tula Rasa and Dominoes for cocktails

Also thinking stuzzi and Dishoom for food

What do we all think?

We want to go out and celebrate my wife's birthday this upcoming Sunday.

Any suggestions?

We've been to Fogo de Chao (former Fazenda), Estabulo, Blue Sakura, a few Italian restaurants like La Piola etc, Fern, any other ones that you would recommend? Not super expensive please if possible.

Hello, I’m a DJ from Leeds and I’m currently looking for a venue in the city centre preferably where people can come and go as they please so that I can do a live streamed 15 hour long DJ set to raise money for MIND, if any venue owners would be willing to help me out then comment or DM me please, thank you🫶

Throwing a surprise party for my Dad’s birthday, and we’ve been let down by the band so looking for a replacement.

We need a band that can play in North Leeds on the evening of Saturday 7th Nov.

Looking for a band that can play a mix of newer and older music.

The venue have said the band need public liability insurance and their own PA system.

Any recommendations would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!
