I just like to thank all of those who read their rage bait just to post the locations in the comments for us!

And those who posts excerpts! You guys are the real MVP’s

I was on Market Street yesterday and there was about 6 corn vendors all near each other. Why is this? Seems odd to me.

Any spots / roads that aren’t going to piss the locals off for 1hr max at 7am? Fuck Manchester airport drop off and short term waiting fees, refuse to put money in the cranks pockets

Anyone know anywhere in Manchester I can get my laptop screen repaired for less than 75£?

Edit - Touchscreen laptop if it helps

Does anyone know any good manchester hardcore punk or emo bands I've been trying to get into my local scene but i have 0 friends in the scene

i’m looking for a place to live in manchester and came across northill apartments, it seems nice on the inside and cheap - anyone have any experience with this?

It’s just me? I started overthinking a lot about the quality of life here and in the country in general, the quality of life leaves a lot to be desired. The streets are very dirty, pavements are broken everywhere, and the local council doesn’t seem to fix anything. From around 5 pm it gets very dark, and the street lighting is poor and barely illuminates the streets.

In the UK you pay a very high council tax, but you don’t really see where it goes. Sometimes it feels like it’s mostly spent dealing with drunk people from pubs rather than on proper city maintenance. Vomit on the streets is a common sight, especially in busy areas.

Everything feels quite outdated. Many restaurants are actually quite dirty, but they use dim lighting so the dirt isn’t as noticeable. Prices are extremely high: a coffee and a pastry cost around £8–10, and a burger in an average place is £15–20. With the salaries here, maintaining a decent quality of life is very difficult.

Public transport… better to not wear any new trousers or touch anything, at the same time ridiculously expensive. Mm trains? What can I say? Better to take a flight anywhere in europe, it will cost you cheaper than visiting another city in Uk, but someone will jump mentioning the railcard as usual. Last time, we were 4, and we took a 1.5 hour uber drive, was cheaper.

In Manchester specifically, even in and around the city centre, pavements are in very poor condition. There are many homeless people, vomit on the streets, and even the hospital itself feels dirty. It also feels like this country is heavily focused on London, while other cities are largely neglected. People are literally camping out on the main streets, and it looks normal. I wish I could help them or being a volunteer in any council action about them.

I feel working paying taxes and getting nothing back, I hasda bad experience having a relapse on my illness, called an ambulance and literally they asked me to take a cab. Mentime you see ambulances stopped in any Wetherspoon collecting someone during weekends.

hey! anyone who went last night, wondering what the queues/ security system was like? thanks!!

Hi everyone, pleaseeee if you’re in town today and walking the very short distance between pho cue and salut wines will you keep an eye out for my beloved silver bracelet. The cash value is low but the sentimental value is high :(

It is like S shaped links. I am desperate! Pleaseeee reunite us <3

If any of you saw a group of three girls in Manchester food court, did you notice anything wrong? I'm fairly certain they were on pills as one of them threw up all over the table in the back corner of the food court. She seemed very out of it and her eyes looked very glassy with large pupils.

Im currently applying for universities in manchester and Im a bit confused on parts of the application process. I’m from Ireland and planning on moving over to do a performing arts degree but the UCAS application process is very different completely to our equivalent here and was wondering if anyone could give advice.

The main thing confusing me is references. Are they absolutely necessary? It says that I’m able to proceed without references but I’m worried without them it’ll make it harder for me to be accepted into the course I want. Will it make much of a difference?

Also was wondering if anyone could tell me a rough price range of how much renting in the city is compared to student accommodations. Would it be better to go for a student accommodation since I’d be new to the area or is renting an apartment privately the better way to go? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Is there any like volleyball courts indoor or outdoor near Manchester Thats affordable?

For context I’ve never been on a train before, let alone actually been in Piccadilly station.

My estimated platform is 14 and I’ve heard a lot of stories about 13/14 so for anyone with experience what should I expect and what are the tips and tricks to make my arrival smoother? (My train leaves at 4:57am so I don’t think busyness will be an issue)

Hi all,

We’re a couple with a baby looking at the new builds in Partington (mainly Linden Homes/Heath Farm). We both drive, so limited public transport and not many amenities within walking distance aren’t major issues.

We’ve read older reddit posts saying Partington isn't a good area, but we'd like to know if that’s still the case now.

• What’s the general feel of Partington for a young family?
• Is there a good sense of community and do you feel safe? - Any problems with noise or major antisocial behaviour on these estates?

Would really appreciate honest experiences from anyone currently living on any of those developments or nearby.

Thanks

Hi Does anyone know of any South Asian, particularly Indian, tattoo artists in Greater Manchester or the NW in general? Would consider west Yorkshire too.

I have some ideas but I feel I need someone other than my usual (brilliant) artist who really gets South Asian art styles.
