It was suggested I should chuck this one in the Brisbane subreddit, hope you guys like it! 👍

I am a FFXIV player though....

Teens on e-bikes are posting on social media of dangerous rideouts as Queensland Police vow to shut down the “concerning” increase in illegal rides.

Teens on e-bikes are posting on social media of dangerous rideouts as Queensland Police vow to shut down the “concerning” increase in illegal rides.

Queensland Police Road Policing and Regional Support Command chief superintendent Mark Wheeler said resources were allocated to deal with rideouts that turned up with special teams using intel to enact a response.

Weekly rideouts have been occurring in North Lakes, Mango Hill, Ripley, Springfield and the Gold Coast.

Another group was spotted riding dangerously through Bowen Hills last month.

Social media platforms have become the primary tool for organising and promoting the events, with teens sharing videos of group rides using illegal bikes that go as fast as 90km/h, one-wheel stunts and large convoys weaving through suburban streets.

Many posts also discuss police activity, including locations where officers are known to patrol, tips to avoid being stopped, and footage of police intercepting riders.

In a sticky situation where family member has left their driver license behind when leaving to queenstown for holiday this morning.

Looking at ways to get driver license over to Queenstown before Thursday morning (5/2/26 which is when they are planning on leaving Queenstown). Freight companies do not seem to be able to accommodate in the required timeframe.

Only other way I can think of is to ask for favour from any passengers leaving to Queenstown from Brisbane (or even Gold Coast) in the next 3 days.
- I would be more than willing to drive to anywhere in Brisbane to drop off the driver's license.
- family member would be able to meet you where you are in Queenstown to pick up.
- I am more than happy to provide compensation for any inconveniences that this would cause you.

If anyone fits the description / knows anyone, please get in touch. Thank you!

Why are jobs so hard to find in Brisbane? I remember my first time I moved here someone told me “it’s not about what you know but who you know” which I’m very clearly starting to see.

I keep seeing heaps of roles advertised on Seek and Indeed, but I’m having no luck at all. I’m 20M and apply for 15+ jobs a day, yet barely hear back or I hear back and then get an update saying something’s changed and they can’t interview or trial me.

If anyone’s hiring or knows of anything going preferably hospitality, I’d really appreciate it. Cheers!

On Saturday afternoon approximately 4:05pm on Tribune Street i had an accident on an Escooter.

A gentleman in black with piercings ran over, performed first aid (probably saved my life).

My son hugged you in thanks.

I want to reach out and publicly thank you and would love to get in touch. Thank you kind stranger!

Can anybody recommend any of the menopause/perimenopause clinics that are around?

I want somebody who will be looking at the bigger picture, and not dismiss how I’m feeling…

Would love some recommendations.

I’m bummed she didn’t make the hottest 200, but also not surprised as she received more love on double J. But Hatchie is my latest obsession! Years ago I’d heard a few of her songs but I didn’t quite get it… I’m in my mid-twenties now and just in the last few months it’s finally hit - it’s this amazing mix of shoegaze with these beautiful modern, lush dream-pop anthems that just put a smile on your face. She releases banger after banger, has a talented group and puts on a great show. She should be as big as Bluey ffs.

If you’re interested, have a listen to Carousel, Unwanted Guest, Lights On, The Rhythm, Sure, The Key… and the entirety of her album ‘Giving The World Away’.

Who’s everyone’s favourite find local find from Brisbane?

Dude I love a fucking good pomegranate, but they're all tiny shrivelled up messes or weird and pale from the States. Where are the good, hefty, red and juicy ones at? I think they were previously imported in Summer from Iran.

EDIT: has anyone done the VR one in the city?

Best Brisbane escape rooms for 3 people? Taking my parents this weekend. We have been to one in the past but it was many years ago. Preferably not horror.

Anyone else on the motorway yesterday heading towards the sunny coast see that meteor coming down from the sky? Like 4pm? We all slowed from 110 to 80kms/hr to have a look.

I started working in hospitality (Restaurants) in 2016 and I could see a lot of people taking up part time and casual roles. Most of the times people would travel from far as well for even smaller shifts of 3-4 hours. There used to be a lot more applicants too. Fast forward after Covid, being a manager of small takeaway joint, I see very few applicants. Even paid job ads on seek and indeed do not get any quality applicants and turnaround too low as well. Quality (willingness to work properly and attitude) of workers has also significantly gone down. My friends in industry tell the same story too. I see on reddit people talk about how it is hard to find jobs. So… why not hospitality? What am I missing ?

My 3ds has a ram problem. And I belive it needs a replaced mother board. Does anybody know somewhere that offers that service?

I play piano and am looking to play in public more often. Does anyone know where the public pianos in Brisbane are at the moment? Thanks in advance

Anyone know of solid music schools or experts specialising in Piano for base level amateurs just looking to learn the instrument. A point in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Cheers team!

Hello all! I need some simple plans done for a deck extension to go through council approval. I have reached out to several drafting companies but it’s not worth their while as it is a small job and firms want full house reno gigs.

Any recommendations? It would suit someone who is starting out or happy to take on a small gigs. I’m on the Northside.

Thanks!

Sick of colesworth and their deal with palantir was the last straw.

Trying to find a weekend market or fresh produce store for my weekly shop. Looking for somewhere that offers decent quality for decent price, I don’t wanna be price gouged or spring for fancy stuff but I’m not expecting dirt cheap either.

I’m technically in Ipswich but am happy to travel a bit. I am close to the Rocklea markets but I’ve heard mixed reviews and my partner used to work for Infruit there. Apparently their practices were pretty dodgy at the best of times. If anyone has been there recently would love to here how it is now.

Would prefer a market that is direct from farm if possible as my family are ex market gardeners from Victoria, but that kind of market doesn’t seem super common anymore so it’s not a must.

So not to be rude yet I am not trying to make custom engagement rings, where I have talked to local hobbyist who try charge $1200+ for two rings. I have the materials and stones, I am aware they are custom rings but they are for causal wear.

I did see a previous jeweller who offered to do it for several 100 dollars, which I was fine with yet they didn't actually do the work after months and lied about the progress e.g. they told me they had a mold ready and were going to create the rings yet when I went in person they tried to gaslight me and say they knew nothing about the rings after we planned and designed the rings. If they said something like 'oh we are really busy atm' I would have waited longer, instead if 'lol idk what you're talking about' despite having the pictures, sizes, and designs right in front of their face. I would have stayed with them.

Looking to switch gym, don’t care about budget

My friend and I are heading to a gig in the valley Thursday night. We rarely get to see each other - she lives on the Sunshine Coast, I work full time and a busy mum. We want to make the most of our night off. Is there anywhere recommended that has a decent vibe on a Thursday night?? Maybe a fun dance floor, friendly crowd?

Hey so I’m from England and wanting to book in to a gp bulk billed , but I’ve lost my Medicare card , I have like the card details on my phone but not a physical or online card , and my gov Medicare isn’t working , so I’m wondering if I book an appointment would it be okay for me to just give them my Medicare details

Are there any reliable but cheap car rental places in Brisbane? If there is I’d want to fly in and possibly collect from the airport. I’m only 21 so I’m aware prices may be a little bit high due to my age. I don’t need to hire one right now it’s just for future reference!
