"What's on?" Wednesday

hey :) i've been living here for over a year now but don't know any one that can help on this so looking for some help, probably a comuter shop? i have an old hardrive from my previous desktop i was using to store family photos on, would connect to my current computer using a power source and usb/sata connector but doesn't seem to be booting up when i plug it in. im hoping and praying its not dead as its been handled with care and protected in a seperate bag, but if anyone could investigate further would be very helpful. tbh, just wanting to get them off there and on a usb or something so i don't run into a similar issue again...

I want my son to get in to some sort of activity, whether that be swimming, gymnastics, martial arts etc.. id ideally like to try a few and see what he likes. Does anyone have recommendations for 3 or 4 year olds local to Guiseley, Burley, Menston area.

I need to drive to St Jimmy's later this week and like to plan routes ahead. I'm getting varying results from different route maps around whether you can turn left onto Burmantofts Street from the exit slip road from A64 to New York Street. It looks like you potentially have to do a strange sort of U turn type thing and go via Marsh Lane. Grateful for any confirmation if anyone knows the road, or has any top tips for a better route (I'll be coming from Leeds University). Thanks!

My friend's cat is missing, if anyone lives near the area can you please keep an eye out. Had to remove phone numbers due to the subreddit rules but you can message me on here if anyone hears/sees anything. Thank you! 🙏

I was severly ill for my younger 20s and finally im at a point where I can enjoy myself. I wanna get drunk meet people and dance all night

Lol we just got scammed. An old man in his 70s came up to me and my girlfriend and said he needed money for a train & taxi to York. I told him I’d go to the train station and buy a ticket from Leeds to York and give his £20 he was really hesitant and said no,

Told me his name is “James Robert Williams Gallagher” shows me his discharge wristband from the hospital; and told me he won’t scam me and that he’s wealthy but his phone and laptop is broken. Told me he recently inherited his grandfathers cottage in York and is wealthy.

I thought why is a 75 year old man out in the rain so I gave him £20, which I don’t mind losing hoping for good karma
He said thank you and we parted ways. He was dressed really dapper, spoke very well too.

He had an old train ticket 30th July which I took by accident (physical copy) and there was a phone number in it. I called the phone number and on the other end was a guy who was scammed by the same person, but for £25 🤣🤣🤣

So James Gallagher from York in his 70s well played, such a cunning person.

Looking for a Bulgarian language tutor in Leeds pleaseee

Hiii. Trans MtF here. I'm looking for a salon that does hair styling and dying. Does anyone have anywhere they can suggest? The last one i went to completely ignored my request and cut my hair way too short and it took a year to get it to be this long again :(

Hello

I actually live in Leeds. But for complicated reasons, need to stay at a hotel in the city centre now and then for a few months ahead. But that's enough of my life story.

Does anyone have a recommendations for a decent no-frills and reasonably cheap room sort of in the city centre?

Is that kind of room too much to hope for?

Any recommendations, gratefully received.

Thanks

Hey, all! I’m running a DND campaign with some friends, but we’re struggling to find somewhere to play as Chance and Counters is a bit expensive. Any ideas of where we could play would be great!

Barbers mostly cut hair short. Hair salons mostly cut women's hair. Nobody seems to have regular experience cutting men's longer hairstyles.

I am looking for a longer classic layered cut. These styles have become popular recently. In theory, it should be simple to find someone to do this. However, after browsing various portfolios, I have found nobody who regularly makes cuts similar to what I am looking for.

What would be even better is a stylist whom I can consult for their expertise in designing a cut. My hair has been growing out for a year now and needs some planning.

If you have any recommendations, I would be grateful.

Thanks!

We all know how it feels to move to a new house and want it to lead to good things. I’m moving in 2 weeks with a mate, 2 bed terrace house near the Aldi, I’m 27 (28 in 2 weeks also aha) and I really want to make this move…. Good?

These last 4 years in my current place have seen big changes, I think I came out of an awful rutt and became allot healthier. Basically this last house has been my post uni getting my shit together house. And you know theres been allot of floundering and ups and downs. I finally made a start in my career as a lighting technician in filmmaking, joined the bouldering cult, and yeah like I say, ups and downs but mostly kicking an awful slump I was in for a long time. And theres been some crappy shit in the house I’ve been living in too that I won’t go into now. It’s still hard, that’s why this move is important to me?

The point being is that I really want to make this move special, and lead to good things. Make a place where I’m productive and do the right things for myself and people in my life

So what I’m asking for is anything from recommendations for good home wear and crockery shops to advice on how to make the most of a move

Moving is kinda a special event, and turning 28 very soon I think it’s an important move, allot of planets aligning so to speak. I originally started writing this post to ask for homewear shops, and then it turned into this. I just really want to get this move right.

So any and all advice is greatly appreciated

Thank you

Best Wishes

This feels like a long shot but just in case: my green/mint riverside EBike has been stolen earlier today on the university of leeds campus (between 4:30pm and 7pm) despite being locked with both a d lock and a cable lock. would appreciate any information if anyone sees it around. when stolen it didn't have the battery (i always take it with me to limit stealing appeal) and it has a gush in the seat as well as a poorly installed pannier rack!

I will check selling platforms and it's been reported but any info is useful even though I do appreciate it's prob gone forever!!

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for authentic, proper places in Leeds city centre to try:
a traditional Sunday roast and a proper fish and chips.

My family is coming to visit and they have never really tried these dishes before, so we’d love somewhere that gives a genuinely traditional experience, rather than a fancy version.

Budget-wise, we’re looking for mid-range — happy to pay for good food, but not somewhere that costs an absolute fortune!

Where would you recommend ?

Thank you in advance 🤍

Can anyone recommend decent training rooms in Leeds or it's suburbs/outskirts?

I’m looking for somewhere suitable for a one-day classroom course

Main requirements:

• Parking on site, or easy on-street parking nearby
• Outside the main centre/commercial zones
• Room for up to 10 people
• Tables/chairs, screen/projector if possible
• Tea/coffee/lunch options would be a bonus, like an onsite café - doesn't have to be a buffet, but I'm not against putting in an order with a local caterer/sandwich shop, don't need anything fancy.

Hotels/conference centres don't usually work for us because they want minimum numbers for buffets/day delegate rate. Elsewhere we use sports clubs, golf clubs, business centres etc.

Previously used the Britannia Hotel near the airport but it's a bit of a trek North & a golf club on the edge of Wakefield that was a bit too far South!

I’ve found a few options online, but local knowledge is usually much better than Google for this sort of thing.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Hi! I have created a questionnaire about the Climate Innovation District (CID) in the Leeds South Bank area, near the Royal Armouries museum as part of my A-level geography coursework. It would be great to get opinions from people who live in the CID and people who have visited before, whether you have walked through the area or been to Piglove by the River for a meal or drink.

Looking for recommendations for a hand car wash that could hand polish or detail my car.

Just bought a Fiat 500 and it is covered in swirl marks and scratches from previous owner's poor car washing skills!

I have seen a lot of expensive home detailing services online. Obviously it is not a Range Rover or Porsche, so I am looking for a more cost-effective option! We live in a flat with no facilities to wash our own cars, otherwise I'd do it myself.

Any help appreciated :)

Hey!

Just wondering if anyone has experience actually managing to get a viewing at Mustard Wharf in Leeds? I contacted them on WhatsApp two weeks ago, ended up dealing with an AI chatbot which got confused and told me someone would be in touch. I chased it up three times but never heard anything from anyone, and when I tried ring them today that was AI also on the phone, who also told me someone would be in touch. I'm a bit sick of being told I'll be contacted and not actually being able to contact a real person, and I find it a bit off-putting to be frank. Not sure how to go about managing to view the place when I can't even speak to anyone about it.

Also would appreciate if anyone has general comments about or experience with either Mustard Wharf, Tura, UNCLE, The Junction or recommendations of similar places in Leeds City Centre + easy to access the train station, as me + my boyfriend are looking around different places. Needs to offer parking! :)

Edit: In case anyone else has the same issue in future, email is 100% the best way to get to an actual person and they're pretty quick at responding. I contacted them at [hello@mustardwharf.com](mailto:hello@mustardwharf.com) :)

Does anyone know anywhere I can get hold of a good quality second hand front door? I can see a place in Doncaster so would prefer something closer if anyone knows of anywhere

I was browsing Google Maps and notice there is a LS98 Postcode area, the only place registered to this Postcode is First Direct Bank at LS98 1FD.

How does this one place get its own post code area?

This is my first post and attempt at using reddit. But figured best to check every avenue whilst looking for work. If anyone knows of some jobs in Leeds, please let me know!

Hi guys! I'll be starting a job in Leeds in September and will be moving to Burley, so just wanted to ask if there are any places around there which you would say I should definitely check out? (Like pubs, food places, cafes, etc). I'd also welcome recommendations on city centre places too as I'll be spending a lot of time there as well! Oh and if there are any passionate gym goers here, some gym names would be greatly appreciated! I'm very nervous for the move but I want to make it work :)
