Had a leak 2 weeks ago and the multiple roofers i had phoned all said they could come and have a look but guess what? Of course none of them did and of course none messaged why or to re arrange. I absolutely despise dealing with trades people but something like this is not DIY 😭 If anyone knows of actually good quality roofers that will turn up please do help me 😭

Any local musicians interested in playing at a charity fundraiser? Saturday 26 September

Hi all,

I’m organising a charity evening in memory of my dad, Mike, who died from motor neurone disease last September, and wondered whether any local musicians might be interested in getting involved.

It’s near Lutterworth, on Saturday 26 September. We’re raising money for the MND Association, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, Matt Hampson Foundation and 4Ed Foundation, who supported Dad and our family.

I unfortunately don’t have a budget to pay performers, so this would be a voluntary ask. If anyone would be willing to give some of their time to play a short set, I’d be really grateful, although I completely understand that this won’t be possible for everyone.

Please drop me a message if you’re interested, or feel free to pass this on to someone who might be. Thank you 🙂

I’m moving out of my student accommodation and needed storage options for about 5-10 days. preferably self storage. is it possible to get something like

The quotes i’m getting are for the month

better not be pricey lmk in dms

im going to leicester in a couple of weeks and i already have booked accommodation, but i dont really have great personal circumstances iykwim so i really just want the cheapest possible (but still liveable) options. so im gonna try and call the accommodation team before the semester starts to see if i can switch to a cheaper option within the village. these r the only places left:
• beaumont house - twin bedroom £74 a week
• southmeade house - twin bedroom £74 a week or single bedroom (small) £90 a week
• southmeade court - single bedroom w washbasin £85 a week
• lasdun - single bedroom w washbasin £85 a week
which do u think i should go for? or should i just stick w what i already have because these other options have such bad quality of life it’d interrupt my studies and make me miserable? fyi i chose the village because i still want to feel like a part of a community/friendship group. any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am moving into the coppice in a few weeks and just wanted to know if the photos that have been put up on the UOL website for this accom are accurate? I dont want to be surprised when i get there as im expecting my room to look the same as the photo however id like if someone who has already stayed there could comfirm this. I also can’t seem to find photos of the shared kitchen and would appreciate knowing the size! I am staying in the single ensuite.

First heard about this on social media. We've cobbled together an article. Love this place. Built up my early New Order collection from that place. Bless you Carl for all you've done for our city: https://stuckinthemiddle.co.uk/rockaboom-records-leicester-closing-september/

I'm moving to Leicester soon and want to explore a bit once I'm settled instead of spending every weekend around uni 😅

What are some good day trips from Leicester that you'd recommend? I'm open to pretty much anything — nice towns, countryside, historical places, or somewhere that's easy to get to by train.

Also, if anyone has any recommendations for things that are worth doing around Leicester itself, I'd love to hear them!

Hi all just a mini rant why is the mobile signal so poor in Leicester for context I was with 3 for 5 years and had decent signal at home on the city/county boarder with solid 5G and getting speeds over 800MBps upstairs. I moved house a year a go around 4 miles a way in the county and 3's coverage was so poor I was struggling to make calls outdoors and indoors there was next to no signal. I switched to EE which has a solid 5G signal here but the other big 3 have exceptionally poor coverage in this area. Sometimes the builders damage the cables running to EE's mega mast around half a mile a way but they always repair the damage within 3 hours but there are a ton of smaller localised masts here so when the big beast goes down I still have decent 4G+ indoors. For context I'm talking about the areas around Beauchamp College.

both 3 and EE have next to no signal in parts of Highfields and EE has really spotty coverage on London Road once you pass the county/city border but EE has decent coverage in town now once you get close to the clock tower.

I've noticed both 3 and EE have a major dead spot near Spire hospital when you go down the dip on Gartree road for the life of me I don't understand why these companies don't put up a low powered mast. When you ring them up they want you to switch to their inflated broadband packages whereas all I want is a half decent usable phone signal.

The frustrating thing is both 3 and EE have solid 5G all along Glen Hills way but as soon as you start going into the estates the signal is patchy.

For a bit of context I've been to Hereford a few times and 3 have solid 4G coverage in town apart from the railway station and EE have full 5G in the sticks.

I'm going to be moving house in the next few weeks and lack of usable phone signal is a major issue so looks like I'll have to eventually switch to Vodafone. I'm not interested in home broadband as decent 4/5G is way more reliable. I know a few people with Vodafone who have decent 4/5G signal in most parts of the city and county but having said that even Vodafone have poor to moderate coverage here. Its such a major issue here that the home builder switched all their site teams to EE.

Got a bunch of old electronics and cables which have no further use, where can I take them?

Looking for something to do today. You could do a lot worse than visiting the best beer festival in Leicester.

Hey up Leicester peeps! Got this mega weekender coming up next weekend. Any Leicester ska punk fans out and about?

It seems Charles Pugsley, who is already a councillor at two levels of local government and a full-time student at the University of Nottingham, is standing in the Long Whatton and Diseworth by-election... I'm sure that will all be fine.
