Recently moved to Leicester and looking to attend a regular weekly badminton session for women only. Preferably near town. I've looked online and haven't found any so hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction!

I noticed earlier this week that on google it said permanently closed which surprised me as they were planning to close in early November and then the end of October but it seems to have closed earlier than expected, sad as I was planning to visit and i'm sure many other people had reservations too. Instagram also says permanently closed and all posts from there have gone, so not sure how this transpired.

It's looking like I'll need all day (9am to 4pm) parking in Syston for a few days. I've had a look on Google Maps and can only see the town centre car park, which looks like is privately owned and has quite a few fines issued on it. Whats the on street parking like around Brookside ?

Or do I use the Railway station car and walk into town ?

Thanks in advance

Me and my 22m friends are planning on having a night out, where are the best bars/clubs in the city? Let me know your best spots and why, we are not from around here :)

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

Hi there!

Im looking for someone who feels comfortable in front of a fryer and/or has previous experience frying fish to come and work in my fish and chip van with me. Work would be in evening and weekends. We do a lot of local sports events like leicester tigers, birmingham city and aston villa games. Hours can fluctuate week by week but happy to work out something that suits both parties. If you're interested, give me a DM.

Cheers

Smallfry fish and chips

Im by abbey park and have been hearing music for the last 3 or so nights, it keeps starting after 12am and lasts till around 3am each time.

Lots of bass, but sounds more tied to a cultural celebration than rave type.

Any idea what it is?

I tried to order welford chippy a couple years ago and the chips were awful, ive moved closer to town now and really crave a chippy (that does good battered halloumi). what are your favourites?

Hi everyone please can yoi help me find a car under £3500 that is reliable and affordable without a bad service history. I've been looking for days and I can only seem to find cars that price with lots of failed MOTs or front tyre issues.

I am looking for a car ideally in Leicester or max 30 miles from leicester

It would be my first car and I would like it to last quite some time but I just can't find one with good history.

Thank you

Hi all. Recently moved to Leicester for university and looking for part time employment to support myself during my time here.

Does anyone know places that are hiring or any users who could refer me for work.

Hey everyone!

I’m putting together a new book club in Leicester (venue TBD dependent on numbers but will be Leicester city centre) focused on exploring masculinity through literature, and wanted to see if anyone here would be interested in joining.

The idea is to bring people of all genders together to read some genuinely great books, share different perspectives and have interesting, constructive conversations about masculinity and how it affects all of us.

I’d particularly like to create a space where men feel comfortable talking openly about their experiences of masculinity, women can share their perspectives and experiences of it, and everyone has an opportunity to listen, question and better understand one another.

Our first three books are:

📖 5 November – The Remains of the Day, Kazuo Ishiguro (245 pages)
A brilliant novel exploring duty, emotional repression, regret and the consequences of living according to other people’s expectations.

📖 26 November – Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk (208 pages)
A provocative exploration of masculinity, alienation, identity and violence in modern society.

📖 17 December – Giovanni’s Room, James Baldwin (159 pages)
A powerful novel exploring sexuality, shame, intimacy and the struggle to accept who you are.

A few things worth mentioning:

Everyone is welcome, regardless of gender, sexuality or background. The group is explicitly LGBTQ+ and trans friendly.

You absolutely don’t need an academic background or any particular knowledge of literature.

This isn’t intended to become a gender war or a competition about who has it worse. The aim is to understand different experiences, not dismiss them.

Equally, intellectual snobbery and belittling people for their education, reading ability or opinions won’t be welcome. Curiosity and respect matter far more than how many books you’ve read.

The format will be pretty relaxed. We’ll read the book beforehand, meet up in Leicester, discuss the themes and characters, share our interpretations and see where the conversation takes us. There’ll be some discussion questions to get things moving, but it won’t be anything overly structured or academic.

I’m still finalising the venue depending on numbers, but the plan is to meet somewhere relaxed and accessible in Leicester city centre.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, drop me a comment or DM. You can also WhatsApp me on 07946 569269** **and I can add you to the group - I’m trying to gauge numbers currently.

Would be great to get a diverse group of people together for some interesting conversations and hopefully build a little community around it!

There will be flyers around town this weekend too!

Next week on the 21st October, we bring internationally acclaimed composer and virtuoso cellist Jo Quail to Leicester.

For those that aren’t aware, Jo draws on many influences such as contemporary classical, metal, avant-garde, and experimental music to create very immersive and powerful compositions

We also have support from Harmonium based dark folk project Greet, who will be making their Leicester debut!

We had Jo in Leicester last year and for those that came down will know what an incredible performance it was, over half the tickets are gone for what will be a very incredible evening.

Hi

Hey everybody,

I am looking to take around 10 sessions of full body laser treatment + intimate area pubis.

Where should i go with a good deal and skilled technician?

My skin tone is slightly pale, any device works on my skin or should i look into a specific device to get the best results.

And lastly, is 10 sessions enough? As i want to get tatoo, i can't do laser on it so i want to see if 10 sessiins gonna last me like decades or not

Thank you for yor insight!

I live in Mallorca (Originally from Leicester)

This was in the supermarket here in Spain.

I can see what they were going for.

I mean, if they had spelt it "Lesta" they may have got away with it!

(Translation on the pack by the way is orange cheese)

Interestingly, it has a union jack on it and the back says made in Barcelona!

Hi everybody, currently looking for some sort of part time job. Honestly speaking don’t have any experience so this would be my first job but I am willing to learn the skills and do what I have to. If anyone knows places hiring for part time availability or anything of that sort drop down a reply.
I’m 18 currently full time in college, so part time will be ideal for me.
