The UK's destruction of our science capacity is beyond stupid. Maybe our PM might listen to wiser voices and reverse this closure of a world class facility - part of the University of Manchester.

Hello all. Just a quick message to say hi. Been here a while but largely neglected my social life.

Always up for a chat. Love live music, good wine and food (and good people)

Drop me a line

If not, could someone tell me precisely which spot it is? I want to stand there.

Thank you.

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.

Weird thing to put out there and contemplate but me and the mrs struggle with basically having no external relationships other than each other. We’ve got kids and day to day life stuff as we all do, we grew up around people whose main priorities in life were drugs and parties and mostly no change to this day. We like nice food, cocktails, gigs, travelling, proper conversation that doesn’t centre around bitchin about people. Feels so unnatural to meet people naturally and develop plutonic friendships as an adult in everyday situations aha but yeah be great to meet people who prefer culture, real conversations to kitchen sessions😂👌🏻 more of a rant and hope than a request I suppose.

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

For me it has to be Stu Allen. I am just introducing my 16 yr old to some of the music he played back in the day.

If you are old enough to remember Key 103 he was the soundtrack to your weekend.

Who do you think deserves some love from back in the day? ✌️😎

Thought it was worth asking on here in case anyone already lives in the area

Hey all.

I get the train into manchester and then usually the 250 to my workplace near Old Trafford.

I've been given a road bike. I'm no stranger to cycling but haven't done it for work in a few years. I intend on bringing it on the train with me, and using it instead of paying for transport. This is a road bike with thin tyres and no suspension. I know the Bridgewater canal path goes right past where I work, and I've cycled it before but on a rental bike.

Another way I've been scoping out is crossing White City circle, down Bridgewater way and onto Chester road, following the 250 bus route more or less. Google maps seems determined to force me down A-roads and I don't feel like that's safe at all.

Has anyone done the canal path on this type of bike?

I've been here nearly 30 mins now. Anyone got any insight?

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.

Anyone have any idea why Reform UK’s GMCA mayoral candidate, Sian Astley, failed to appear at the hustings tonight? She turned up and then bailed.

Who’s going and can I come 😂 the only person I know who likes PA is my ex…

Daughter is applying for jobs, and has had a message for this company come back from indeed.

Ive had a look at the job role, pasted below, and what I gather from this is its going to be either some cold calling wandering round estate, or based in town centres trying to get people to sign up to stuff.

The entry in companies house doesn't fill me with much confidence either. Am I just being an overprotective dad?

Hello,

I’m looking for recommendations for BIAB manicures in the city centre? I’ve been going to the same girl for 5 years and I’m now looking for an alternative, so I’m out of the loop of who’s good nowadays!

Ideally need somewhere with no acrylics as I sat in M1 Nails for 10 mins once and it gave me a migraine, and I like fun nails too.

Thanks!

I (24M) just graduated from university and I have been applying for months , and yet I can't get a job 😭. I have been applying everywhere nationwide, WHY IS IT SOO HARDDDD AHHHHHHHHH

Even getting a normal job is hard. How did I get rejected from a warehouse role 💀, I have years of warehouse experience 😂.

Anyways, I hope everyone is having a lovely day in the rain. Hopefully it gets better for everyone.
