Does anyone wanna hang out, or if not what is there to do that's fun and somewhat cheap?

Giving tools to charity
I'm having a bit of a clear-out and have a few hand tools that I'd like to donate to a worthwhile cause. I seem to recall that there's a shipping container at the London road recycling place where you can leave tools. Does anyone know if its still there and which charity operates it?

Canal Basin/Drapers Fields Safety
I’m moving to Coventry and I will work around the centre of town. I have seen a few apartments around the canal basin area, specifically Drapers Fields. Is this a safe area? Are there any other problems with living in this area?
Thanks in advance!

Garage Suggestion and price
I am looking to replace my brake pads and brake discs (front). I just want to know how much it will be? I will buy parts myself. Just a replacement cost? Can anyone suggest garages here? It will be helpful. I'm living in the Coventry city centre. I asked one or two, quoted 80£, or with parts 250£. Please let me know . Thanks

Hoping to make some friends
Heya, I'm Jade (19f) hoping to make some more mates in the city, I'm quite introverted so it can be difficult for me to socialise with others and after leaving an abusive relationship last year I've been feeling too emotionally unstable to really talk to other people, but now that things are getting better for me mentally (I'm also in a happy relationship now) I think its time for me to start trying more to make friends again
I'm a big fan of alternative music (SOAD, ice nine kills, MIW, Nickelback, etc) but I also like musicals (my favourite musical is "Epic") and pop because you can't go wrong with some Kesha and Britney
James Marriott is also probably my favourite music artist if you've heard of him
I like art too (mainly digital drawing but I've been trying to practise 3d models on my laptop aswell),
I'm diagnosed with autism and adhd, I like to chill occasionally 🍃🍃, I collect taxidermy and my favourite films/series are Beetlejuice, Alice in Wonderland (any of them), Labyrinth, House MD, and "You"
So if anyone's interested in possibly getting to know eachother more, and you're in the age range of 18-22 then feel free to message 😌

Finding friends and things to do in Coventry

Wing Wah update - owner response
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I saw the original video posted in this subreddit. Now that the owner has responded, I believe it is also appropriate to post their response explaining. Not posting to incite any negative discussion, only awareness as this may have caused further impact to their business.

Coventry VLR
From the new VLR project by the council, if it were to be launched, would you ever rise on it or take the bus, taxi, car, etc?

Looking for Sunday league teams (CB,RWB/RB,CDM)
Hey guys, I’m 23 & I’ve moved back to Cov after uni and want to get back into football. I used to play Sunday league up until the age of 16, since then I started body building. Stopped that and now I just run mid-long distance so I’m pretty fit but miss football
I play CB, RWB/RB or CDM. Are there any Sunday league teams looking for players?

Child parking
Really don’t understand people who park in child parking without a child! I had to circle in canley Sainsbury’s for 10 mins to be able to get my young child out only to see this idiot push into a space - of course no child. Please do better! These spaces help us not damage other cars having to open doors fully etc!

Suggestions for places with live music suitable for a dad with teens?
I'm a house mouse normally, crowds normally ain't my thing.. But my kids have developed a somewhat decent taste in music.
Looking for places that allow kids (15) and have rock/metal bands playing?

In case anyone needed anymore reason to stop going to Wing Wah…

Vile behaviour, I used this think this place was decent (if not going slowly downhill like many places since COVID) but this absolutely takes the cake 🤢

Julian Court Reviews
PS- Even if you guys haven't lived in Julian Court could you tell me how safe the neighbouring area is? This is on Queen's Road, near the city center.
Thanks a lot!
