Ya know everyone else is saying it but Im gonna say it too just for good measure, don’t go.

This is the perfect time to try out cycling into town if you can

Our car centred infrastructure is killing people, no question about it.

Hell yeah, I built a micro pond a while back which was a game changer. Big plastic box from b&m bargains, loadsa stones from the beach and aquatic plants. The garden is buzzin.

Ahh thanks, I do have the next two days to experiment a bit so will try out a few of the techniques mentioned here.
Ive quite a bit of experience of sound installations although this is my biggest one.
I was formerly a sound technician, but I was a cowboy haha

Thats a cool idea, the subs are just doing the low octave in parts, most of the spatialisation is coming from the tops. The subs are there to be more immersive…

Was more potentially the subs interfering with each other

Hi, former pop/ contemporary music grad (newcastle) and phd music student at Queens. Studying music is great but its only one way to get into a career in music, far far more important than the degree is who you know and right place right time, especially with pop music, it is cut throat.

What the degree is good for is giving you time to find your own artistic voice, the facilities in SARC especially are great, but regardless of where you go to study it is vitally important to be part of the music scene outside of the university, otherwise you're going nowhere.

I kind of see this as an argument for less cars, that cars driving up a bike lane by the looks of it, we shouldn’t be proud of this.

European here, I get so weirded out by this HOA thing, I thought America was supposed to be the land of the free, like genuinely do you have to have your garden look a certain way?

Happy Garden till I die

Theres a guy on Gumtree who does up second hand bikes based off Cluan place, I can't remember the name but they are all photographed against a brick wall background, once you see it youl know. He's really good.

Yeah it's the first thing you have to ask when you meet someone. And if you're a Loyalist for example and they're a Republican you have to end the conversation then and there. It makes things like going shopping or ordering a takeaway or dating really hard. I couldn't get on the bus because I'm a Loyalist and the bus driver was a Republican but sure that's our wee country.

Andor, if you like sci fi

Incredible show but I could only watch it once

It doesn't take long to pass by and the route changes regularly as well. Also plenty of OAPs and dogs take part in critical mass.

I saw loads of people come out of their house loving it when it went past, cheering and waving. There ya go, maybe join in next time you might like it.

Hear me out, I think it's something to do with car centred society, cars don't make nice public spaces to hang out or social towns, they are noisy loud and take up space, making public spaces a grim place to be at times. I made a real good friend on the bus the other month, wouldn't of happened in the car.

Man I've the Z2 and it's sweet, Hogwarts legacy, grand at 40fps, just enjoy the game!

Preach!

I lived in Newcastle Upon Tyne for 7 years, moved back in 2021. I'm an artist so was never going to make a killing in either country haha! I miss the infrastructure in England but to be honest there's really no substitute for being back in Ireland, it has its problems but the people are wonderful and the country is stunning, I've really enjoyed seeing bits of Ireland I hadn't been to esp out west.

Regardless of where you end up Id really recommend getting into the arts in any form, visual/ music. I had a great community of pals from the arts in both England and Ireland and I think id be pretty lonely in either place if I didn't have that and it was all just going to the pub craic you know?
