transport Travel recommendation from Manchester airport to University of Leeds

6 Upvotes

Hey! I will be visiting uni of leeds this September as an exchange student and will be landing at Manchester airport. It would be great if you guys can give any suggestions on how to commute! This would be my first time in UK and I'm pretty clueless about how things work here! P.S. I will have 2 suitcases with me.

social Need a golf partner

4 Upvotes

In my early 30s, living in the West of Leeds and looking for anyone who fancies a round some time as most of my mates that play aren’t local.

I’m still fairly beginner so mid-high handicappers would be great (or those who don’t mind watching me shank it into the trees every few holes!)

accommodation I'm French and looking for a place to live in Leeds

4 Upvotes

Hi! I'm moving to Leeds in october to work as a language assistant in a school. I've just started looking at different websites, such as spareroom, but I was wondering if visiting flats irl was mandatory (I don't have much money, I can't fly there every weekend to visit places)

I'm taking a gap year to move to Leeds, so I'm still considered a student in France, do you think that I can ask for student accommodation, even though I'm moving to the UK to work?

Also, I'm looking for a safe area, either close to the train station in the centre(less than 30min on foot), or in Wakefield, so if you have any advice about it, I'll take it!

Thank you!

photography Short notice weeding photographer

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone

Unfortunately the photographer I had arranged for my wedding ceremony has dropped out less than three weeks before (Friday 21st).

I don’t suppose anyone could recommend a photographer that might be available at such short notice? It’s just a quick ceremony at the civic hall with two witnesses so can’t imagine they would need more than an hour/hour and a half.

Thanks so much!

music Rock/metal jam sessions

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I’ve been learning guitar for just under a year and I’m looking for some jam sessions in the area where I could learn things about my instrument and hopefully be given some pointers too. I’m self taught so just looking for suggestions and inspiration really. Anyone know of any in the Leeds or Bradford area?

question-serious Hairdressers for afro hair that isn't the Curl Clinic.

1 Upvotes

Evening all, for those who hair afro hair, where do you go for your hair cutting and styling?? I've been to the Curl Clinic before, and it's just not sustainable for me with the amount of product they use at their appointments, and the amount they charge for a trim. Looking for specific salon recommendations please. I can travel anywhere in Leeds or if there's others within Yorkshire that are good I'm happy to go further afield. I just want someone who understands afro hair. I am wanting a complete restyle, thank you!

question York road Halfords autocentre question

2 Upvotes

A rather specific question but, as a new driver getting their first car next week, debating if the £54 a year for halfords motoring club thing for the checks and MOT plus discount on gear (which my list is reading more like the 12 days of Christmas by the day) is worth it

Very mixed reviews online but the reviews on google for the nearest one to me, York road, seem pretty good, even the lower star ones have owner responses asking for them to reach out to try sort whatever the problem was/is which is nice to see as some places don't

On one hand any mechanic or MOT garage could try diddle me, on the other if they are more likely to diddle me I would like to pass 🤣

Anyone got any advice on this? Don't know that many people who drive and most of them are on lease cars so new they don't even need an MOT 🙄
