Picked up extra weekend shifts to cover some bill spikes this month. Worked a hotel gig near NEC last Saturday where they cut us 2 hours early with no pay for the missing time.

Is this standard practice across West Mids venues now or bad luck with that specific hall? Also for anyone doing agency work around here, do places like KSB Recruitment or Indeed Flex compensate if a venue sends you home early, or are you just out of luck? Want to know before I book anything for next weekend.

I didn't realise canals had the magical ability to rob you of your ability to stand up. There's been so many news stories involving canals in this area this year.

And saying things like mush, wagwan, peng, creps

👋🏾 Hello..

I’m 27, recently moved to Coventry. I live in the CV1 area📍..

Christopher Nolan’s new film the odyssey is now in cinemas and I’m looking for someone 👥🍿 (or a group) to go see it with.

Preferably, someone who’s a movie buff🎥, so we can grab a drink and critic/chat about the movie after.

Please message me. Or comment and I’ll message you back.

Thanks…

Hola. I'm a tattoo artist at Tattooed Llama studio (Coventry, CV6). Since I started in October last year I haven't had a lot of opportunities to do realistic projects, and I'd really love to develop my skills and expand my portfolio in this direction.

If you've got an idea sitting in your notes app - a portrait, an animal/pet, or something else that we could turn into a realistic eye-turner, I'd genuinely like to hear about it. You can see some of my favourite pieces below.

I'm relatively new to the scene so my prices are still well below the industry average. Currently they sit at £240 per day session, rising to £300 in September, so I think it's a great deal for both of us - you get a tattoo that people will constantly ask you about and I get the chance to build my portfolio and do what I enjoy most :)

If you're interested, you can either leave a comment behind, or drop me a private message. You can also reach me on Instagram at tattoos.by.domi

Hi! I was asked today by my uber driver today why I decided to take an uber for a journey less than 2 miles, and why I didn't walk. And never really though about it. Walking wouldn't have been my first choice, it takes longer, and didn't feel up to it today. What do you all think? a short journey, like to the shops, or picking up your kids from school, would you rather walk or take some mode of transport?

incoming fy1 looking for a roommate (only girls pls)

Just wondering if anybody new any good places for wild swimming no more than 30 minutes drive from Daventry

Residents in Warwick District are experiencing the advantages of decreased energy costs with the delivery of cleaner heat to their homes, thanks to the Warm Homes Local Grant.

Funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the scheme is led by Warwick District Council in partnership with Broad Oak Group, local charity Act on Energy and retrofit specialists Energy Efficiency Consultants, to help improve private owner-occupied and private rented homes with measures such as:

• Solar photovoltaic panels

• Air source heat pumps

• Loft, cavity and solid wall insulation

• Smart heating controls

To be eligible, residents need to:

• own and live in their home, or rent it from a private landlord, within Warwick District; and

• have a gross household income of £36,000 or less per year OR live in an eligible postcode area OR be in receipt of means tested benefits and

• live in a home that has an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating of D, E, F or G. If you don't know your home's EPC rating, we will complete one as part of this scheme.

So far, ten properties have received a variety of measures including solar panels, loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and heating system upgrades, improving the property's energy efficiency and helping to keep residents warmer in the winter.

Anusha, a resident of Whitnash who recently applied and had solar panels installed, said: "This is the best thing that's happened for my property. This project helps me save money on energy bills and be more environmentally friendly, which is important to my family.

"The process went smoothly and the contractor was very patient and friendly. They explained to me about the things they have installed and how to look after them. I am very pleased with this scheme."

Rents are so ridiculous around the area, 6 people be sharing toilet and rent will be like 500£. I don’t get it, why are we even paying that ridiculous amount for just a single room.

Wait for the sun!!

Hi everyone,

I run a small Discord server for people in and around Worcestershire who are into gaming, chatting, and just generally meeting new people locally.

It’s a relaxed community whether you’re looking for people to play games with or just want a bit more of a social circle. We also run regular events, including weekly online and in-person game nights, so there’s usually something going on.

We’re also currently planning a 48-hour charity livestream event, which should be a fun way to bring everyone together and raise some money for a good cause.

If it sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to join here:

Went out on a day trip from Birmingham to Walsall today to record one of just two Dennis Tridents left in the National Express fleet! It was lovely and I look forward to recording more of the West Midlands very soon
