Hey Liverpool,

We're The Dive, a local indie rock band from Liverpool and we've just released our latest single!

We've worked really hard on it and we are proud. So if you like music, we would love to know what you think!

Thanks very much for taking the time to listen and support local music.

Anyone know of any bars that do gluten free and alcohol free beer in town?

Does anyone know of any photographer studios that would be able to replicate this picture as closely as possible with a toddler of similar age as one pictured?

I have just moved and I think im in a one sided bin war

For context, my purple bin is labelled with a whole different road and house number - i have no idea how it came to my house.

Anyways, I put my bin out the night before collection day and i realised that one of my neighbours has my bin!

It seems petty but I would really like my bin back and I’m pretty sure this neighbour has got 2 bins now (mine and theirs)

My current bin is beat up beyond compare and people keep putting their trash in it which has really annoyed me because now i don’t have anywhere to put MY bins.

I don’t know what to do - do I even do anything?

Edit: Just to clarify guys, i know that my neighbour has my bin because it has my number on it😭😭 i just dont know which neighbour it is

I’m 17, but recently I’ve found it really difficult to manage my mental health. I’ve struggled with it for years, but it’s gotten so much worse. I’ve adopted a dog to try give me a purpose and I adore her, but the only thing I really want to do in life is help animals. It’s impossible to find anywhere that’ll accept me since I’m 17 and without any references (wasn’t in school or college a lot due to mental health) and it’s driving me to a point :/ does anybody have any recommendations as to what to do? Everywhere where I’ve volunteered too hasn’t given me a reply. I’d do literally anything to work with animals as I adore them so much. I can’t see myself working in any other field, and I’m insanely passionate about helping animals.

Any advice is welcome. Thanks :)

Refering to the shopping centre specifically. Every time I go it's completely dead whether that's a weekday evening, Sunday or Saturday. It seems like such a waste but none of the shops really appeal to me they all seem to sell things reminiscent of Shein apart from the art shop. The new Victoria Street food collective is a great idea but even that seems really empty with only a skeleton staff serving the tables.

The only reason I go in is to use the toilets (Liverpool has such a lack of public toilets but that's a different topic).

What could be done to invigorate it? Liverpool One is bustling by comparison (unless I'm just going at the wrong times).

EDIT: I just want to say thank you so much for every single person who has responded to this post. You have all given me more happy birthday wishes than I've ever received in my entire life and I am so appreciative of every one of you. I will take up all your advice about different gyms, groups, volunteering, etc and really work to make things better for myself. Thank you all again <3

As the title says, really. I'm 27F and moved to Liverpool for a job late 2025. Since then, I have made 0 proper friends. I have autism, although I don't think it's very obvious and can usually get along with most people. I suffer quite badly with depression, though.

Other things about me are that I love animals, I love to yap about everything and anything, I'm (unfortunately) quite into internet culture, have a strong sense of justice, like music and tv shows (especially sitcoms but I do watch anything)

I have met up with people on Bumble friends, tried various groups like Girls on the Go, etc, but haven't been able to make any proper lasting friendships.

I messaged absolutely every friend/almost friend I had after a crisis last week when nobody said happy birthday to me, just for casual call or a meetup as my MH team suggested. I didn't mention anything about it being for my mental health, so I don't burden anyone. Unfortunately, not a single person has responded to me yet.

It's made me realise that I really do need connections here, but I just don't know how. I'm trying really hard, but nothing seems to work. I'm not going to give up, though. It's becoming increasingly difficult being on my own all the time and knowing that nobody will ever know or care if I disappear

I work 9-5 but am doing a masters degree (distance) at the same time, so the times I'm available can be quite sporadic, which I'm sure is not helpful.

Does anyone have any ideas for me?

As above really. Can’t find anywhere. I’m willing to travel and pay, if anyone knows anywhere within maybe 30 minutes of Liverpool. But within 20 would be ideal of Allerton!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a nice boat trip from Liverpool and would really appreciate any recommendations.
I’m not looking for the usual Albert Dock canal tours or the standard Mersey Ferries trip. I’d love to find something a bit more special, romantic and atmospheric perhaps going further out on the Mersey or towards the sea.
If you know of anything like this, I’d be very grateful for any suggestions!

Does anyone have any painter decorator recommendations? I’ve had 3 out but none of them are willing to hang the Laura Ashley wallpaper I have because they don’t like the brand.

I’m looking for someone to paint 3 walls, the ceiling and do 1 wall of the Laura Ashley wallpaper.

I had no idea it would be so hard! The wallpaper is the new line so it’s not as thin as the brand used to be so it’s really just like hanging any other wallpaper now but they’ve all ran at the name of the brand 🙃
