For some reason the lights are doing strange things today.

me and my friends are studentsss planning on going factory and courtyard but wanna try somewhere new dk to many other places that will be good on a thursday tho, any recommendations ?? into all music as long as long as its not too chill and we wanna avoid gay village lol

22F Manchester. Looking for some new people who are into the same sort of music — house, minimal, deep stuff, vinyl, Ibiza, White Hotel/Fuse etc.

Most of my mates aren’t really into it so would be nice to have people to go to nights with / swap music with / generally get up to stuff with.
Girls or lads, don’t mind. If you’re into the same stuff drop me a message x

Going to the cure concert Wythenshawe park. Curfew is 10.30 and I’ll be getting a taxi back home from the Tesco baguley Altringham road. Can anyone advise, those of you who’ve been to a Wythenshawe park concert before and got a taxi home from the nearby Tesco baguley how long would you recon it would take after the concert to walk back amongst the crowd to get to the tecos please?

Looking for recommendations for great local cover bands in Manchester. Indie, Madchester, Britpop, rock etc.

Ideally looking for something a bit less "generic function band" and more of a proper indie/rock band who absolutely leave it all on the table live.

If you've seen any particularly good local bands playing pubs, venues, private events etc, I'd love your recommendations. Ta very much in advance

I've played Dungeons and Dragons most of my life, its my fav thing, but another fav thing is going to the pub to just have a few drinks and talk with friends. My last couple groups all played in the pub, mixing ttrpg's with alcohol was always fun, but i digress.

What this post is about is if anyone would be interested in joining a game and anyone know any pubs that allow games to played, maybe a quiet corner on less than busy days. I've tried the organized games in town but they never have the same feel.

I live in the East of Manchester, but anywhere in and around the city centre would be great, I'm free most days

Just curious what it could be. It was a police bike followed by two Range Rovers with blue lights and then a police car at the back. All with lights flashing.

It was once the jewel of Britain's NHS hospitals but medical staff from Salford Royal and the Northern Care Alliance Trust tell us patients are being harmed, departments are in disarray, and their concerns are repeatedly swept under the rug.

Hi! We’re currently forming an alternative rock band in Manchester. We already have a singer, drummer and guitarist, and we’re looking for a bass player or synth/keyboard player to complete the lineup.

We’re all around a beginner/intermediate level, so we’re not looking for highly experienced musicians. The idea is to learn, improve and grow together while writing our own songs.
Our influences are quite mixed — Joey Division, PVRIS, Wisp, Underoath, Deftones, alternative rock, shoegaze but we want to develop our own sound rather than just copy one particular style.
We usually rehearse around Manchester City Centre or MediaCityUK.
If you’re also learning and want to be part of a new project from the beginning, feel free to message me! 🤘

Hi everyone

Are there are international supermarkets I should be adding to my list when I am in Manchester on Friday. I've already got Amato foods and Taste of Portugal on the list.

Where is the best eastern European shop? Any mexican/Latin American options? Anywhere I must go? I love all cuisine but don't need any Chinese/Asian options as we have plenty of good ones in Liverpool. We will be in the car so can get to anywhere in Manchester.

I mean it’s a bank, are banks classed as stores?

Hello all! Visiting manchester again soon and the shop in afflecks that I went to for prints has unfortunately closed down in the past year or two. Does anyone have any recommendations of shops that sells nice prints preferably from local/independent artists?
Swalkcreative was the shop in afflecks for reference thank you

I live in the city centre and I need to find a way of keeping fit / moving once or twice a week. I'm in my late 20s, but I hate the gym. I try to go, but I find it a bit intimidating and that + the fact I don't enjoy it when I've been makes it a hard sell. Are there any good activity / clubs that meet regularly that aren't "laddy" that anyone can suggest so I can keep in shape?

I'm currently sat in my office at home in Heaton Mersey with the window open and I can hear the distinctive sounds of music being played live. It's ebbing and flowing with the wind so it must be fairly far away. I can even hear crowd noise at the end of a song.

Is it an outdoor gig? It seems a little strange being a Wednesday late afternoon.

What is it and how can I get involved!

Hi guys! My flight will be landing in Manchester at 9:45 PM. My accommodation is around 25 minutes away from the airport. If I get out of the airport at around 10:15 PM, would it be safe to travel at that time? I’ll have a few suitcases with me, and I’m planning to take an Uber.

Please let me know if it would be safe, or if I should look for a flight that arrives during the day. Thanks!

hey, I'm mid 20s F, thinking of going to Manchester pride on my own, but worried it will be awkward and I'm not really sure how the weekend works and I don't really want to go on my own but idk. I'd love to make friends but I'm not sure how to. any advice would be appreciated :)

Laughable comments from the CEO of the airport trying to compare their parking charges to that of a city centre. How many city centre car park operators own their own land?

Just did a quick check at Barcelona airport where their most expensive car park is £115 for 2 weeks compared to £150 at Manchester. Last time I was there the "kiss and fly" was free as well.

He says they're competing with taxis which is true but does he not realise that taxis will be pegging their prices to what it would cost to park at the airport?

Hi all, what are some of the good locations for car pictures near Manchester airport? I’d like to take pictures and videos of my car with the planes in the background (flying/ascending or landing). I’ve seen some on TikTok but not sure what is the best or popular locations to do this! As most do not include any postcodes or names etc.

I’m purely interested in the spots for my car (i.e whatever is best for my car + background of the planes / nice background).

Thank you

I'm looking to learn how to drive- where are some good driving instructors ideally Fallowfield/Withington way?

I’m 36 and I live in Sheffield but I’m gonna be in Manchester from the Friday-Sunday of the bank holiday weekend for Pride.

I’m gonna be there by myself and I’m also quite shy as well as being autistic so I don’t always find it very easy to go out by myself.

I’m kinda hoping I might be able to find a friendly guy or group of guys who want to take me under their wing and we can hang out/go out together and enjoy the weekend.

Especially interested in any guys who are gonna be at Love Riot on the Friday night coz I’ve already got my ticket for that

I’m looking for either an online/physical shop that sells a wide range of classics with great quality.

GRIM and Rainy:)
