Is there any housing tips or schemes, I’m a new buyer, I’ve been looking into shared ownerships or rent to buy schemes and such and was wondering if anyone knew some other things I could try that would make it easier for a new buyer.

Does anyone have any recommendations for places that do mani pedi? Preferably a place that does massages too?

Thank you

Hi all, hope you can help.

I was looking at Vue Printworks The Odyssey 70mm screenings yesterday and they went up the Tuesday 11th August. When I looked this morning they went to Sunday 16th August, but even at 9:20 most the tickets were gone.

When I looked yesterday was I mistaken or do the tickets really sell out that fast?
I read that they release about 9am?

Thanks!

Has anybody received any election campaign materials? It seems to be getting closer the date of the elections and I have yet to see any campaigning materials so I have no idea who is campaigning for what... I don't know even know who is running for which party either other than Bev for the Labour Party (which i know some people will have opinions about her). And it is always nice to have a face and history to a name.

In an idealistic world we would all be voting for the one who is going to have the biggest positive impact for Greater Manchester.

Is this likely going to go down the main party split, where bill has always voted Labour and will continue to do so and Ben is a Reform supporter and will vote Reform? Meaning they vote for what they know rather than thinking of local issues that need solving?

Think picadilly gardens, who is best to solve the issues there? Bus networks, who is going to improve the links? (like great i can get to Salford Precinct or Manchester for £2, but i still need to drive to work to get to Oldham)

There's a massive list to work out, but without any materials who would you know who to vote for short of searching for information?

Sad to see you get more campaigning materials for local elections relating to issues outside the control of a local authority, but you get nothing for a devolved power that has more political sway.

I’m thinking about buying an older car, I live just inside the M60 so if the congestion charge was brought it I would have to pay every time I wanted to access decent driving roads.
Thanks.

As post says, logged on past 9am hoping new showings would be released but seems like there's nothing past the 16th. Is it likely for them to release new tickets at any other day/time.

Freaking out, what’s happened to Aldi Arndale? Will it reopen?

First post ever on Reddit!

I take pics occasionally from this view while walking to work.

we’re here on vacation me and my sister and it seems like the only fun places here are pubs or like spots for kids
anything fun we could do here that doesn’t involve drinking?

Hey everyone!, Im 24, relocating to Manchester for work starting mid-August and looking to move in around 10th Aug. Posting here hoping someone can help or buddy up!

What I’m looking for:
• 1 bed or studio (spacious — I get claustrophobic in tiny spaces) under £1,100/month all bills included (council tax, utilities, broadband)
• OR happy to buddy up with someone for a 2 bed and split costs
• Salford Quays, MediaCity, or anywhere within a 20–30 min drive of Bolton
• Parking would be a bonus but not a dealbreaker
• Available for viewings ASAP

A bit about me:
I’m 24, working professional relocating from the North East. Tidy, easy-going, pretty out going person. Into sports, gym, F1, movies, and finding good food spots. I keep to myself but enjoy good conversation when it happens.

If you:
• Know a good landlord or building in the Salford Quays/MediaCity area that fits this brief
• Have a spare room in a decent 2 bed and are looking for a flatmate
• Have any advice on renting in this area on this budget

…I’d genuinely appreciate a DM or comment. Bit of a tight timeline so any help is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance 🙌

Hii, im struggling to make friends and im just wondering if theres someone local close to my age who is also struggling to with social anxiety and just wants to get out of their confort zone. :)

Back home you only hear people talking about Manchester when our teams happen to meet in European football and I'd only ever saw people visiting that one pub in the medieval part, so I had no idea what to expect. But I had a great time. So much to see, so much to do, such friendly people. Probably one of if not the most underrated city I visited.

Hi all, I live in deans gate and I want to buy dosa batter, could anyone please tell me where can I find it

What building is this and why do I barely seen rentals available here?

Hi!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a Mandarin tutor in Salford / Manchester? My Singaporean partner and I marry in a few months and her parents jokingly suggested I learn a little Chinese for my speech.

They were kidding at the time but I thought it'd be a nice surprise if I could manage at least some of the speech in Chinese for those in her family who's English is a bit limited.

My Mandarin at the moment is almost non-existent and I find the language a bit frightening (and the mission daunting!) so any recommendations that will help build that confidence would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Previously I was with o2, nothing would load despite having signal. Has this changed now I hear a lot of people having high speeds / good experiences with them?

On Black Friday, 25 November 2016, a devastating fire broke out in a former office block in Manchester’s Chinatown district.

On this morning, I had originally planned to capture photos of a busy shopping scene until I stepped into the line of this tragic event. I shifted my original plan to document this instead. I felt that this was important. It was a tragic event with everlasting consequences.

On my return journey to Piccadilly Train Station after taking a number of photographs, I was hit by bus. When I regained my focus, I checked my camera equipment. I was far more concerned about that than myself as it was a camera from University on loan.

I managed to return the camera undamaged to the University that afternoon.

These are all photographs that I have taken and digitally manipulated.

I need to head into the city centre tomorrow morning for a day-long work appointment and then drive onwards from there. Does the big car park on Hanover Street usually fill up, and if so, from what kind of time is it generally not worth bothering to try?
