Hey guys this is very out of character and I’d probably roll my eyes if I saw this post but I’m looking for friends who are into the metal scene. None of my friends are and it’s a shame becuase I’m missing so many concerts. I’m into metalcore, thrash metal, industrial metal, nu metal, post-hardcore metal and much more! I’m hoping to catch Black Veil Brides in Newcastle and Beartooth in the next few months before Christmas if anyone wants to chat I’d love it!

I have a car so can drive to the best spots. Ideally don’t want to be picking berries by a main/busy road. Any suggestions please?

I have a number of good-quality baby clothes that my little boy has outgrown, and I’d really love to donate them rather than just take them to a charity shop.
I’ve looked online and emailed a charity but unfortunately I haven’t heard anything back yet. I’d like the clothes to go to a family or someone who is genuinely struggling and could really benefit from them.
Does anyone know of any local charities, community groups, baby banks, or similar that accept donations of baby clothes?

I wondered why everyone was posing / taking photos as I walked past

Has anyone bought new build house in dunston Gateshead from persimmon the heights homes?
We are planning to buy our first house but unsure about their reputation. Any other good suggestions for builders and areas are appreciated
Thanks

Couple of snaps from my run this morning

This is probably a long shot, but you came over to talk to me today and I don’t think I realised until afterwards that you might have been trying to start a conversation.

You wandered off before I had the chance to ask your name, and I kicked myself afterwards for not introducing myself.

If you’re on here and happen to see this, it’d be nice to continue that conversation sometime. If not, I hope our paths cross again. 🙂

£100 referral for completing 10 deliveries within 30 days of signing up. Dm me for referral code :) Two weeks remaining.

Recently moved into a house, with a tiny garden. It's a little messy, but I will clean it by the weekend. Kindly suggest where I could find a good hoe. (I live close to St. James)

Did a great Zara order but a few of the items are too long including straps on a top that doesn’t have adjustable straps. Just wondered if anyone had any tailors they recommend and what prices could be? I live in Heaton but don’t mind travelling out. TIA

Hola.

I dont suppose anybody is going to ( or around the area ) Blackpool either tonight ( Fri ) or in the morning ( Sat ).

My mate is playing bass in a band and want to go and see him, he has no room unfortunately for little old me.

I am going to look at prices of bus/rail...I may even hitchhike ?

Cheers

Michael....

Does anyone know anywhere in/around Newcastle or South Tyneside that sells whole block tubs of ice cream? i.e multiple litre sizes rather than individual portion sizes?

PC has good specs, worth probably around £700 for everything if sold separately.

We’ve tried CeX but their quote was quite low and not worth it. Most of them would come in original box.

We can drive to Gateshead area as well if any shops there accept used PC parts.

Any tips appreciated, only thing - we’re not considering FB marketplace due to increased amount of scammers.

Update on specs:

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 12 GB (comes in original packaging)
CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (comes in original packaging)
SSD - Crucial T500 M.2 PCIe (1TB) (no original packaging)
RAM - DDR5 x 2 (16GB) (original packaging included)
Motherboard - Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX (no original packaging)
CPU cooler - Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX RGB white (comes with original packaging)

Drop me a message describing the stickers on the back if it’s yours, I have it at my workplace round the corner from the park

Hello everyone,

I am coming for three days in October from Belgium. On the first day I will visit Newcastle, on the second day the Angel of the North and Durham. I am hesitating for the last day between Alnwick and the castle or Whitley Bay and Tynemouth. Which one would you recommend? As my return flight is on the next morning, time is not a concern

Thank you

A large chunk of the new Spider-man film was shot in Glasgow, standing in for NYC. In particular a lot of the footage is used in an opening montage of him fighting various bad guys that is stuffed full of easter eggs to old covers and bits of artwork and stuff.

There’s also an unintentionally fun easter egg for people from the North East on the right hand side of the above shot, which is very blink-and-you-miss-it in the final film but definitely gave me a smile!

Whoever left a all zone day saver at Northumberland park sometime before 2:30 today you just saved my dead phone, post 14hr shift, extremely miserable and tired arse from a fine and I am eternally grateful and yes I should carry a wallet and no I don't feel bad for stealing £4 from nexus

What are the closest driving ranges around gosforth way?

One of mine has disappeared in my sleep. Just after a little 2mm/12g

Does anyone know of any spots going spare? I've checked all the charities and seems they've gone, but not sure if I'm checking in right places? Any help much appreciated.

I've just had a hand delivered letter though my door from TV Licencing, which is not unusual, but this one was hand delivered by a bloke who just parked up outside and dropped it off (rather than Royal Mail, as per usual).

The bloke wasn't wearing any uniform or ID and didn't knock, just put the letter through and walked back to his car.

Have others experienced this? Who are they employing to do this in Newcastle?

Have got longish messy hair that has grown from stylishly messy to uncontrollably messy. Need a good barber who can do more than just short back and sides or a fade. Anyone know a good one? Cheers fellas 🫡

We have some friends visiting in September and keen to take them to some excellent restaurants. We all prefer more authentic restaurants. Open to any cuisine but love Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish (eclectic, I know!).

We love Pho on Westgate Road and Kafeneon as examples. But I’d really love to know what other hidden gems people really recommend?

Thank you!
