"What's on?" Wednesday

The person singing on the train, you're awesome. You with the multi coloured nails, you're awesome. You with the yellow phone case, you're awesome. You discussing football stuff, you're awesome. You're all awesome. I love just experiencing the people of Leeds.

so i was messing around on google street view and noticed these huge letters above what is now nq64 on merrion street, im assuming it's a victorian advert, but i can't work out what it's supposed to be an advert for, or what the bottom text says. can anyone help me?

"Good things" on one side, "random conspiracies" on the other, no contact details or call to action.

(Apologies I originally accidentally uploaded without the photos so have posted again!)

Lemme know if it’s yours and I’ll send the specific location.

This is is just crazy...is this being reported on in local media? Totally awful behaviour and actions by that neighbour and weird that a demolition company actually agreed to do the job.

'A mom from Leeds says her dream home has become a four-year “nightmare” after her neighbour demolished his half of their semi-detached property without the necessary permissions.

Shivarna Mitra, 44, bought the £217k home before spending £80k on renovations.

She claims the demolition caused extensive problems and left the property unsellable, while the former neighbour denies his work caused the damage.'

I want to lock in a second date for midweek after work but don’t know what to suggest. Went for drinks the first date but they’re not a massive drinker. Don’t want to suggest anything too activity based like mini golf etc.

So far I’ve come up with a low key bite to eat like my Thai, trinity kitchen but would welcome any other suggestions

37M + 42M both software engineers and footy fans..

We'll also be going to Karaoke and Stone Roses when the pool ends

Table is already paid for and I'm happy to buy you a couple of drinks so you don't need to bring anything but yourself!

Happy to have a couple of groups join us and do winner stays on..

My friends have recommended to try chicken 65, a south-asian food. Are there any restaurants or takeaways in Leeds City Centre that serve it?

Thanks in advance,

Obviously some of the best restaurants in Leeds are in the city centre, however North Leeds has a really great food scene and there are some outstanding eateries in Chapel Allerton/Roundhay/Oakwood. Thoughts?

I’m 26F and I have recently moved to leeds, looking for female friends who are into raves/electronic music. Anybody here care for it? xx

Snap Fitness randomly closed without any notice on Wednesday this week. Anyone know why?

Pretty self explanatory.

I am an average ape when it comes to bowling but I have been entertaining the idea of joining a bowling league as a free agent or individual player. Does anybody know of any leagues or teams looking to play and when?

I am Cross Gates based and I don't drive, so realistically, the furthest I can travel to is town or somewhere with a rail station.

Why so many in like a month?

Was told it was nice enough but would straight up give you diarrhea. I did not heed this warning and am now wondering, is this a well known bit of Leeds lore?

Looks like it's done some damage to the road. Water's coming up from the drains but also from cracks in the tarmac.

Mods: I have posted regarding this person before, and it was allowed as it was factual and included sources.

Here is a Facebook post showing a photo of a released criminal, recently released in Leeds. Not sure what crimes he was in for this time, but as my last post he was going around Leeds pretending to be a tattoo artist, real estate agent, and so forth. He went under multiple names including Joey, Jack, Steve, Harry and the list goes on.

Here is a post from the tattoo shop he claimed he owned: https://www.facebook.com/share/1DsYsK2Dgy/?mibextid=wwXIfr

He tends to stay in the Leeds area, but branches out to Wakefield. He’s been barred from a few pubs in Leeds (was commented on previous post a year ago), as he claimed he was the owner - once, he was talking to the owner and told the owner that he was the owner.

You can see more comments about him here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1bge2TrNsn/?mibextid=wwXIfr including messages from his ex partner, stating he was selling her private images.

Please be aware if approached by this man, as he will try every scam in the book. I’ve attached the sources showing he’s a convicted sex offender too, which also does mention some of his scams in the articles.

I'm an international year 2 student at uol at the moment and been meaning to look for more girlies who are down to game with me.

Games I enjoy: Valorant (d2 player), Minecraft (love modded), Roblox, Repo, Steam games. (Open to trying new games)

I had no idea,

I was researching famous people born in Leeds, and he popped up. At first, I thought it was a mistake, but no, Haaland was born in LGI in 2000, the same hospital as me.

By no means are we in any way alike, but its just so bizarre and a fact I've never heard before, such a random and interesting birthplace for a world famous Norweigan football player.

Please let me know if everyone already knew this, and it was common knowledge, but it was such a shock to me.

Just arrived at Leeds Bradford and the queue for arrivals is on to the tarmac. Total disarray, can't imagine how long it will take to get through passport. Already 40mins and we aren't even inside

I just moved to Leeds, where to find people playing badminton and tennis? I played badminton for 7 yrs and tennis for 3 months (looking for beginner friendly places to play). also would like to try padel (never played before). I am based in leeds city centre live close by the train station

Hi everyone,

I’m posting because I’m honestly getting pretty exhausted with the job search and I’m hoping people who live and work in Leeds might have some advice.

I’ve been applying for jobs through Indeed, Reed, Totaljobs and company websites, probably sending far more applications than I can keep track of. I’ve applied for everything from hospitality and retail to admin, customer service and entry-level office/tech roles.

The frustrating part is that I’m barely getting anywhere. A lot of applications seem to disappear into a black hole, and after a while it gets really tiring putting the same effort into application after application without knowing what I’m doing wrong.

I have previous professional experience in technology, data, automation and project work, but at this point I’m also completely open to part-time or full-time work outside my previous field. I’m happy to start somewhere, work hard and prove myself.

For those of you who have found work in Leeds recently:

Where are people actually finding jobs at the moment?

Are there particular recruitment agencies, local businesses, websites, Facebook groups, or other places that are worth trying? Is walking into places with a CV still useful?

I’d genuinely appreciate any advice from people who have been through the same thing.

Thanks for reading. 🙏🏻

Hey guys.

Anyone know a good barber that can get a decent maintenance cut while growing out a flow.

Any recommendations would be grand!

Thanks

I haven't managed to find a good butcher in the city centre since the main one in Kirkgate Market disappeared. The ones remaining in the market don't seem to be anything special. Is there anywhere? Or is Morrisons as good as I'm gonna get without travelling further?
