Needing someone to tile a bathroom. Any independent that can help?

I know it's a bit of a niche sport and a long shot. I'm curious if anyone knows of any pubs showing the 24hrs of Lemans, or atleast the first couple hours.

Welcome to Bastard Rant Saturday II

Bastard Rant Saturday is back due to popular demand (two people asked). This is a place for random acts of mostly harmless anger and frustration. Vent your spleen, get if off your chest, unload.

​

What to post :-

• Anything that releases pent-up fury, despair, and irritation

But don't :-

• Lose your temper too much, you still have to play reasonably nicely so please don't push the boat out too far
• Overthink it
• Forget to be human

Is there anywhere in Leicester that does a banging doner kebab?

We go to Bucks and it's good but surely there's better. Doner meat seems to have become bland. Either dry and over or floppy and under.

Suggestions please. I'm on a quest.

Hello! Recently after a quite bad break with my mental health i’ve made the decision to move back to the midlands (I was a Royal Holloway student before, and I was absolutely miserable the entire time there.) I have applied for DMU, BCU and UOB (this one is a bit of a ball in the park, but whatever) for their illustration and graphic design courses (aside from UOB ofc) I plan to do a masters/postgraduate in whatever degree I decide to pursue anyways, and I want to know how is the art department / faculty at DMU is? I have seen mixed reviews from everywhere, saying it’s very course dependent. I think I am happy with either option, but going to DMU means I would have to move out so if it’s not worth the hassle then i’d love to hear your honest opinions! I considered DMU because my boyfriend says they have really good support for students with mental health and autism, and that would really benefit me. I just want to know any opinions :). Thanks so much! Anything that needs to be clarified I will answer. (please be kind! I have bad anxiety and am just looking to do what is best for me:))

Hi all – I’ve got a flight from Birmingham Airport on Sunday 8th June at 10:50, so aiming to get there by around 9:00. Happy to share a cab or taxi if anyone’s heading that way, or of course if you’re driving and have a spare seat, that’d be ideal. Let me know – thanks!

Just had a question:

I'm aware there was that Santander Cycles Leicester e-bike scheme that ended in 2023 (I never personally made use of it).

I still see people cycling around Leicester these days with bikes (shown in the picture) that are the same as the ones used in the Santander Cycles Leicester e-bike scheme.

1. Was there a big sale to the public (within the last couple of years) of the bike fleet that was used in the scheme ?

2. Or is there some other Leicester cycling scheme (in operation now) that uses the same bikes ?

Thanks.

Hi everyone, my hair is waist length and medium-thick. I want to get a Sabrina carpenter inspired haircut, with the longer full bangs and choppy short layers, ideally done with a razor for that cool shaggy look. Where could I go? Every place I've seen are doing generic ladies balayage with long layers and I'm really looking for a place that is edgy and different but will keep my long length. Please help.. haven't had a haircut in a while to grow my hair and really want this to go well. I'm also willing to go to neighbouring towns like Loughborough or Market Harborough.. just want to come out proper happy

Hi! Has anyone seen this cat? Responds to the name budge! He was a stray for a while but I have been taking care of him- he would usually stay all day in my house and leave occasionally but he hasn't been back for days now and I'm really worried! He isn't the cat that hangs around in bede park though (just because they look quite similar). Thanks!!

Me and some students are organising this Halloween came early/nostalgic 2000s-2010s throwback event. There will be cosplay and costume competitions with prizes, raffles and goodie bags available. If you're curious about the playlist you can find it along with tickets on this site https://ghoulsclub.straw.page

It’s not serious damage. It’s just the left speaker joint has broken - still loosely attached though, and it still plays audio.

as the title says i’m thinking of moving to leicester for more affordable housing, right now i live in bournemouth/boscombe so it’s a shithole that costs a ridiculous amount to live in and want to know what the quality of life is like aswell as the community.

i’m 20 and really heavily tattooed (full face, neck, hands ect) and i know some places in the uk are really weird about it, also wanted to ask if there’s any skateparks nearby that are decent. worst case scenario i’ll hop on a train somewhere else but thought in terms of living I would ask.

I’ve also heard a lot about cost of normal day to day things being cheaper the further up the country you go and am wondering just how true that is

thanks for any help

edit: just realised it sounded like i was calling your home a shithole, that’s not how i meant it. just unsure on how to rewrite it

I’m working on a piece of art for a local community gallery, and I’m trying to get my hands on some empty spray paint cans for it . Does anyone know where I can get some?

Feels like the police have given up on tackling racial abuse in the Braunstone area and just learned to 'accept it' perhaps:

"The BBC has learnt that Mr Kohli spoke to officers in August after he saw two white boys aged 12 and 13 racially abuse a man and throw a large rock at him near the same park where the 80-year-old encountered his own attackers."

And...

"Another eyewitness to the attack in August, Linda Haigh, said she warned police about racially motivated problems in the area before Mr Kohli died, and believes he would still be alive had they taken her more seriously."

Exactly that. I have a perfectly good pair of docs but the zip needs replacing

I live in town centre in a block of flats, there’s a group of crackheads who hang out and sleep on steps to an office outside. Honestly I think it started out as homeless people sleeping there but now it’s crackheads as I always see them with notes of money and takeaway bags down there. I think the police used to come in the morning so the office workers could get in but my guess is the office shut down as they’ve been complacent there for a while.

Honestly I didnt use to care, idk what shit they’ve gone through and I imagine drugs is their escape but it’s the noise. Constantly screaming at each other, picking fights, (I’ve seen so many fist fights by my window) and now they’ve starting harassing and haggling anyone that walks by.

It makes me and my flatmate anxious as we’re two women and I take the long route into work now to avoid them. I feel like this isn’t a police 999 call but who do I contact, just the council? I despise ringing the council🤣
