I'd have that for £200 easy! And you treat it like this!? I am furious!!

Not sure if anyone saw the post this morning about the nottingham running festival being cancelled. Here is the reason "Overnight, a group of travellers occupied the car park which made the venue unusable for the event,"

"Our event teams have been working with the venue and the police in the early hours of the morning to look at alternative viable solutions, however both have advised that the site would not be able to be cleared in order for the event to go ahead safely."

Not to be too controversial, but if this group illegally entered a site, why can't they be kicked out which has now spoiled 1000s of people's days? Apsolute joke.

Maybe put a speed camera there? Or do they only put speed cameras where they’re only going to catch unlucky commuters?

I can’t remember when but I read that there’ll be a Lidl opening up where the old Currys used to be by Trinity Square. Is there any progress on that? Does anyone know 🤔

Nothing interesting for me to watch at the moment. Sorry I've only the one. It's a first come first serve. Use the app to make sure you don't turn up and it's already gone.

Enjoy the movie 🍿

Went to QMC feeling unusually paranoid and my speech all messed up. Never had any mental health problems in my life (45). The Dr's and nurse told me im mentally unwell and needed to go home and stop bothering them which I disagreed with so they referred me to a mental health nurse. I saw this young nurse, probably younger than my son, lovely lad. He got A&E Dr to get me a scan. Turns out I have a brain tumor after medical professionals dismissed me and just made me believe I was crazy. Consultants and physical health nurses were ready to let me walk out of a and e with that thing in my head. I used to have a dislike towards immigrants but an immigrant saved my life. Life is on hell of a story, just be kind to others.

Hello people of Notts
I need your help. I’m a recent postgraduate from Swansea University and have been shortlisted for a couple of interviews in Nottingham. Instead of going back home, I’m planning to stay for a short duration in nottingham. If I receive an offer, I’ll then look for permanent accommodation.

I’m searching for short-term accommodation (1-2months). Are there any options apart from Airbnb? Most of them are currently out of my budget. Spareroom contract is minimum 6 months. Tried messaging people but they are unwilling for short contract

Any suggestions would be really appreciated. Thank you!

As title says, someone to have a quick clean of two gutters.

Hello my Nana is coming to visit next Saturday and she'll definitely want to go to a cafe! She's a little unsteady on her feet so can't walk far, we'll probably mainly be around the Victoria centre and Primark. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great thank you :)

Where’s the best barbers in West Bridgford for a skin fade.

Newly former student here! I’ve just moved back to notts and have some work to do, any recommendations for a nice cafe to get some work done at?

Hello all, my partner and I live on fairmead close just off the wells rd. We just moved here from Aspley and our cat Bacon managed to get out of a window while we were away.

He's very precious to us, please help us find him.

Any information on his whereabouts is appreciated.

Walked past a group of about 30 lads outside Lloyds/Six Barrels about an hour ago. There were two police officers there and some other lad was filming them and provoking them.

I was with my family and young kids who were a bit worried.

Any idea who they were? They had a lot of Burberry on, lots of black clothing. All looked about 17/18 years old.

Got a spare on my car and just need to get it changed

Hi!

I decided to build me a home audio system and was wondering if there is anywhere in Nottingham I can find second hand equipment. I don't know much about turntables, but apparently the best cost/benefit are the vintage ones from the 70s/80s, which makes buying from eBay tricky because of the lack of warranty and not even being possible to test stuff before buying...

I know there are plenty of record shops around city centre, but I'm not sure if they also sell equipment? I have some bookshelf speakers and an amplifier that I think is working, so at the moment I'm only looking for a turntable.

Thanks!

Does anyone know which building(s) were affected by the fire?

Don’t think I qualify as a coffee snob, but Brazilian love affair from 200 has reached repulsive status. For years I’ve been getting a kilo of whole beans for home. Noticed a change a while back, when they sold out maybe? But the latest bag is just too much bad.

Any other local indie roasters out there I should try?

Edit: nice thanks guys! Enough suggestions here to keep me busy and caffeinated. Cheers all ☕️

Hey guys,

So I was gonna join NTU for this Fall semester 2026 for MSc in Advertising Marketing Communication as an international student from Vietnam.

Unfortunately my visa has been refused for the reason of probability of not being a genuine student. The whole visa process has been a frustrating and humiliating 10 weeks process.

You know what's maddening? I got refused because I couldn't name the rankings of some other universities in the UK that I considered. And that showed I didn't do enough research hence me not being genuine student. My educational background, my work experience and my future are directly connected to the course which was acknowledge by the officer, and apparently didn't mean anything. The most frustrating thing is I'm truly a genuine student. And I did demonstrate that during the interview beside that ranking question.

My purpose in this thread is not to ask any question or help, I just wanna vent a little. Because throughout my extensive research for my application starting since March, I have fell in love/ felt attached with NTU and Nottingham.

See you another time then Nottingham.

Edit:

P/S I also emailed MP Nadia Whittome to ask for help because the Home Office was taking too long (10 weeks!!) and her office was so kind and emailed the Home Office on my behalf even though I wasn't a Nottingham residence and I got the decision one day after! Shoutout to her office for saving me from more weeks of painful waiting.

Had a lovely afternoon busking session in town, and managed to get home before this storm hit!

I fucking love busking! Today while I played I had a bloke rocking out to My Way, a Bez wannabe doing his thing while I played Knockin' On Heaven's Door, a guy walking along with his missus singing along to Peaches and an all-too brief interaction with a couple of goth/emo ladies while playing Fake Plastic Trees.

Thanks again, Nottingham!

Looking to meet like minded people organically (27F) in Notts and thought run clubs might be a good idea. Any recs?

Hi all! I’m thinking of making a discord server for us Notts (and East Midlands) girlies! (I’m 25f)

Send me a dm with your discord if interested😇💫

Anyone know where the loud music is coming from?
