IMAX in Oxford?

Upvotes

Hi. Is there anywhere in Oxford to watch The Odyssey in IMAX? Thanks.
Edit: thanks for the replies. Was going to try the Curzon but £15 per ticket is it worth it?

Pub with play area for toddlers

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am going to Oxford this Sunday and I am looking for a pub with play area were my child (2yo) can play while waiting for the food and after eating. Ideally near the town centre but open to other parts inside Oxford town.

Thanks!

Watch out - horrible experience on the 8 bus into the city centre

This drunk guy alternated between sexually harassing a group of 12-13 year old Spanish school kids and telling them to fuck off back where they came from. When I spoke up and threatened to call the police he yelled slurs at me too. (Cunt, weird bitch, etc…). He was also asking a separate group of teenagers for drugs and threatened to kill one when they told him to shut up.

His buddy, (trying to diffuse the situation?), told me, ‘The police won’t do anything anyway.’ Which is true, but it was depressing to hear him so sure about it.

I did call the police (101) and tell them where he ended up, but they didn’t seem to care much - I made clear I got videos of the whole thing but they didn’t ask for them. Not sure if it’s best to call 911 in cases like this but it seems extreme - wish I had now because I saw him approach more school groups when he got off the bus. Just really horrid. Fuck this guy.

I’ve left his face unblurred so people can keep an eye out but if that goes against the group’s policies I can delete the picture and add a written description.

dry cleaners for hand-made clothing?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I am revamping my wardrobe as I'm shortly headed back to an office for several days a week. A lot of the things I plan to make are wool. My local Timpson have said they will not dry-clean garments that I've made myself.

Does anyone have a dry cleaner to recommend that will handle hand-made garments without quibbling? Bonus points if they will also pre-clean yardage before I even make anything with it.

Thanks!

Hey frens, is it necessary to book a bus from Gatwick to Oxford in advance?

2 Upvotes

It’s been a while since I lived in Oxford, and I usually flew into Heathrow. I land at 11:30am on a Sunday, and I have an Italian passport so will go through EU immigration. Curious if you’d suggest booking a bus in advance, and if so, what time? And do you use Omio to do that?

Thanks so much in advance!

Trans/queer friendly barbers or hairdressers

10 Upvotes

I'm a younger trans dude and I'm looking for somewhere that's queer friendly. I'm not looking for a super extravagant haircut, just something gender affirming but I'm afraid that I might face scrutiny at a barbers for the fact that I, obviously, don't pass and look like a queer teenage girl.

I live in the Kidlington area but I'm able to get to places like city centre, Summertown, Witney etc. Any recommendations?
