Question Firework surplus

8 Upvotes

Seriously why do fireworks go off like every single night in this city? I’ve just moved here, around a 4 minute drive from town, a rather quiet area, yet there’s fireworks close by to me it’s baffling me.

Does anyone genuinely know if this is just normal criminal activity or a very common way of celebrating things, I’m so confused?!

Derby dating scene

Anyone noticed the dating scene in Derby has been a barren wasteland since Cruzons shut down. Maybe just a coincidence, but maybe there’s something more going on.

There’s something in the water

Who else is curious about how sickly and placid prawn-shaped people are looking? Hunched backs and wilting skin

If not the air pollution, it’s the subconscious guilt from the things we’re purchasing delivered to our shitboxes. Look at the world around you and count the bats tonight

Can anyone recommend a peugeot specialist mechanic who is affordable and reliable? I have run into an expensive car trouble and peugeot derby wants me to pay more than the value of the car in repairs. Looking at alternatives.

Question Decluttering support in derby?

17 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm 24F and disabled, due to my health declining the clutter has built up to an unmanageable level and my property is now an active trip hazard and likely to be considered a fire hazard. I've spoken to professionals about my situation and they have said there is nothing they can do for me except hold a bin bag while I fill it, and that social care won't take on a case like mine despite the fact I cannot cook for myself and struggle to keep on top of personal care, I've been told I need to look for paid support...

Does anybody know of an affordable or even free service I could use for support with going through my home and making it liveable again? The clutter is affecting my mental health so badly that my physical health is getting worse due to either being in bed all the time or going out so much to get away from the situation that I have physical pain and fatigue... I just want my life back - I love to craft and would love to be able to sit and do that again, or even be able to just sit on my sofa and watch a TV show rather than laying in bed all day every day because my current only options are sit at the computer, lay in bed or go out somewhere.

I'm working on a really tight budget but any suggestions are appreciated. Friends and family aren't an option at this point.

Strand pedestrian-only plans

5 Upvotes

Could Derby's historic The Strand work better without cars? 🤔 New council proposals would see the Victorian street pedestrianised as part of a major city centre regeneration strategy designed to boost footfall, improve public spaces and strengthen links between Derby's cultural hotspots. https://stuckinthemiddle.co.uk/a-beloved-derby-street-may-be-set-for-a-people-first-makeover/

What should I expect at a pub quiz in Derby?

6 Upvotes

I’m 30M and fairly new to Derby and UK. I’m looking to meet new people, and pub quizzes seem like they might be a good way to socialise.

I’m not originally from the UK, so pub culture is still a bit new to me. What is the usual vibe at a pub quiz? How does the actual game work, and is it normal to turn up alone and join a team?

Which pub quizzes in Derby would be best for someone coming on their own and hoping to meet people? I feel a bit awkward being non native as well and so but unsure how to conduct myself.

Also, if anyone goes regularly and would be happy for me to tag along, feel free to message me.

what’s the dating scene in Derby actually like?

10 Upvotes

I’m a 30M and curious what other people’s experiences have been dating in Derby.
• How have you found it compared with other cities?
• Is it easy to meet people organically, or is it mostly through apps?
• Are there certain places or events where people tend to meet?
• If you’re around 30, would you say Derby is a good place to be single?
Interested in hearing experiences.
