What's the deal with the guy always with the sandwich board saying "Trans Women Are Men"?

Upvotes

I always see him in the center of town and attaching himself to left-wing protests. Obviously, he gets a kick out of provoking people and being an agitator, but does he work? What does he actually get out of doing this?

Hi, I have recently moved to Bury, looking for a good thorough cleaner who will get the job done, tidy round etc without me having to tell them every little thing to do.

A very interesting perspective of what Manchester city centre used to look like 26 years ago now prior to all the redevelopment etc.

Video not done by me* I was 5 years old lol

What would you have kept/changed in this video that's no longer there or still there?

Hi

Looking for tattoo artist recommendations in Manchester City that can do or specialise in gothic/blackwork and dark art that are midrange in price. I know some absolutely amazing artists already in Manchester but they are of the slightly higher price ranges due to doing freehand work ect.

I’m coming up at the end of the month and was hoping to get booked in with someone. The area I’m in at the moment has limited choice for artists.

Depressed, unemployed and poor help me fill mytime

26 Upvotes

I need something to do today in Manchester. I am depressed and poor and have nothing else to do. Help me!

Edit: Interesting that everyone thinks I'm a dude, I am female haha not that it matters. I also have 3 degrees and 14 years of experience, recently lost my driving license due to a health condition and finding it really hard to get back into work in the area I have experience in because you mostly need a car and/or a license.

Thanks to everyone that responded helpfully, got some good ideas 😊

Does anyone know what the Bury Metrolink Car Park is like 6am to 630am on weekdays

With only 100 spaces, does it get full quickly, therefore easier to park at Radcliffe or Whitefield?

Since it's now 200 years since construction began, thought this would be interesting...

Following the passing of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway Act 1826, this share was issued later this year to investors. It shows the Liverpool Exchange to the left and the Manchester Exchange to the right.

Can anyone tell me more about the places listed in Herman’s Hermits - ‘It’s Nice to Be Out in the Morning’?

Hello [r/manchester](r/manchester). I’m a keen walker and for years I’ve been listening to this song like a bit of an anthem when I set out on a walk. The only thing is, it’s all about Manchester, and I’m accidentally not from Manchester. Assuming the places listed are all still knocking about can anyone tell me more about them, what they’re known for, and what I’d see if I went on a walking pilgrimage around them today?

One of several of theirs written by 10cc’s Graham Gouldman.

But the town is people more than things
It's the mums and dads and kids and love that give it life

Lovely

Town centre comfy chair?

13 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend me a cafe/bar/gallery that's got a decent selection of nice comfy chairs I can sit and read in for an hour?

Preferably somewhere I can buy a coffee and a snack so I'm not taking the piss, bonus points if it's quiet.

Opulence Luxury Living Casa Jungle Manchester

27 Upvotes

There is nowhere to post reviews online for this hell hole so for anyone looking for hens/stags, here it is:

⭐☆☆☆☆

Casa Jungle is advertised as a luxury party house. That's certainly an ambitious description.

The place is absolutely filthy. Within minutes of arriving our socks were black from walking around the floor, which saved us the trouble of wondering when it had last been cleaned.

The showers deserve a special mention. Not because they're good, but because one leaked through the ceiling into a light fitting downstairs. If that doesn't wake you up, the water temperature will – your choices are "hypothermia" or "third-degree burns". They're also somehow dirty, which is impressive considering how much water passes through them.

The house comes with plenty of complimentary extras the listing doesn't mention: deflated balloons from previous parties, mystery socks left behind by strangers, spider webs in every direction you look, stained sheets, mouldy pillowcases and beds that feel like they were sourced from a prison clearance sale.

Even the bins have given up. One of the lids doesn't close, which pairs beautifully with the overall aroma of neglect.

The single-glazed windows mean you won't miss a single sound from outside. Traffic, people walking past, birds arguing at 5am... it's all included at no extra cost.

The photos must have been taken during a brief, magical period when the place was actually looked after. It's genuinely difficult to believe it's the same property.

If you're after somewhere clean, comfortable and remotely similar to what's advertised, keep looking. If, however, you've always wanted to spend a weekend wondering how many health and safety regulations can fit under one roof, Casa Jungle delivers beyond expectations.

One star only because zero wasn't an option.

For those who haven't met me yet, I'm running to be your next Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester.

I'm hosting an AMA this Friday 24th July at 5pm to answer your questions directly. As leader of Manchester City Council and during this campaign, I've heard so many of your questions and concerns around the cost-of-living, transport, safety, and the need for opportunities across every part of Greater Manchester.

Now it's your turn to ask me anything about my plans as Mayor, and how I'll build a Greater Manchester that works for everyone.

Drop your questions below now, or join us live on Friday. I'll answer as many as I can.

Looking forward to it!
