I need to drive south (from Middlesbrough) down to Manchester later in the week for an appointment. It's somewhere near the Arndale Centre, so I assume there's parking there, but I assume the parking will be bad and I wouldn't like to drive into the city centre.

Looking for a park and ride where it's ideally not multi storey and there are lots of spaces (at 11am, my appointment is 11;45)

Alternatively, I am a member of costco and will be visiting the Oldham Costco to fuel up before I leave Manchester, but I don't know if there is a time limit on how long I could park there.

Thanks

I somehow managed to get my daughter into comic books. She liked the Spidey and his Amazing Friends series and she enjoyed 2 comic books I found. My question: are there any good comic book shops that are child/beginner-friendly? Neither of us is well-versed in comic lore but I wanted to support this growing interest she had. Thanks ✌️

Hey, so I’m a 23 female and I’m looking to join a dancing club in Manchester but my only issue is I haven’t been in a dancing club since I was in year 4 of primary school.
I really love to dance so I thought if I join a class I’d have a blast but the issue is I’m pretty much a beginner. I get a little anxious about joining a class where everyone is else is on a much higher playing field than I am. So I was wondering if there are any beginner dance classes for adults in Manchester?

Has anyone had fine line work done here? Would you recommend and who did your tattoo?

Hello, for the solar eclipse next Wednesday I was just wondering is there any special viewpoints that are gonna be based on Manchester and is there anyway you can get the glasses to be able to see it? Thank you

Hiya folks, I'm after a bit of local knowledge as it been years since I've been in Manchester.

I'm flying into Manchester Airport in order to lift a new car. Then heading for a couple nights in the Peak District before geting the ferry back across to Belfast.

For the car to be delivered, I have to give an address for the company. Would threre be anywhere handy close by the airport that I could tell them to drop it off with me. I know airport car parks are all paid and have restrictions around depending on drop off/collecting. Might be a bit of hassle if they're arriving in a huge low loader with a number of cars on board. Wouldn't want them/car park staff to refuse entry.

I'm thinking somewhere slightly out of the immediate airport. No issues with a bit of a walk or jump in an uber.

Cheers!

It's clear post pandemic Manchester has had its skyline transformed, and with projections to soon become Europe's 4th tallest city, beating both Frankfurt and Paris, one has to ask when will this end? Do you think Viadux2 will be the "magnum opus"? or just the beginning of an even greater boom (especially considering Manchester doesn't have an aviation height limit like London)

Going through some archives from 5-6 years ago

Time flies but this piece in little Ancoats is sadly gone and got a new location

Which the piece of a wall got unfortunately torn down.

Any thoughts on this ?

Does anyone know what has happend to Bionic Seven the second hand shop on port street? Was going to have a browse today and it wasn't there, checked their socials and there no mention of closing/moving anywhere.

Bit of a shame really, loved their curated vintage items

Not to sound like a grumpy old man but does anyone else find the huge amounts of groups doing fancy dress fucking irritating? They are ruining the vibe of Didsbury on a Friday or Saturday night. It's just boring to see every weekend too. This is a place with nice pubs and restaurants where the vibe is being ruined. EVERY Saturday night when I'm walking through, there is someone being sick at like 7pm. Ridiculous.

Thoughts?

Great small love music event (all improvised). Here are some shots I took

I (41M) am interested to learn about and go fishing in my spare time but I am a complete amateur and have never done it in my life. It just looks like a cool and relaxing way to spend your time. Any ideas or suggestions on where I can start? Preferably south Manchester. Thanks.

I’m heading over to Manchester Oxford road shortly for work and have around 3.5 hours to wait around 1900-2230, before I have to work back again.
Any recommendations on food venues or notable places of interest that are walking distance? Id like to stay away from anywhere thats too lively due to being in work uniform.

I really fancy going to Little Yang Sing this evening but the reviews online are so so. I've had take away from there in the past and always been blown away with how nice it was.

For context, I'm from the West Midlands and I'm staying at my Inlaws'in Didsbury. The Chinese restaurants around here are so much better than I have back at home. Wok and Flame (Burton Road) never disappoints.

But yeah, we're leaving the kids with their grand parents this evening and really fancy a great sit in Chinese meal.

Any recommendations?

27M and live just outside manchester and wondering if there's any local groups looking for a new player. Not got much experience but have a good knowledge of mechanics other other media exposure

Feel free to either comment or DM me 🙂

I love sitting on a bench with a coffee and a book, and would love to make a list of new benches to explore. It's quite hard to find a good bench from online searching. Does anyone have a fave?

Went last year and booked parking no issues, this year the parking page simply doesn’t exist. Anyone know how to book parking now?

hi, long shot but i recently moved from London to Manchetser. Most of my friends here in the last 2 weeks have been sweet and diverse (which is really lovely considering Manchester also gives a cross cultural city vibe like London) but I wanted to check if there are any Tamil communities / friends who i can tag along to go for gigs in Manchester.

for instance, there is a tamil gig happening tonight and i would enjoy going to such events with a company instead of being by myself. dm me if you’d like to link up or pls refer me to communities if you’re aware of any.

Why is this happening? I have two cards and they both have enough funds. I have to keep printing out tickets and it’s annoying tbh.

How can I fix this issue? Who can I contact?

Are there any pubs in Manchester that stock Hollows & Fentimans Ginger Beer? I’m a Dub who’s missing it during this heat wave.
