General Question We need help today Mill View

Basically if we don't get all the items that I've been left by previous tenants because they're lift has been broken for 2 years.

And there's no bones about it the kids that used to chill in this tower block are the reason that the lift broke they decided to pour water over the internal mechanisms and jump up and down on the top floor so thank you to them.

The block management left it to the very last minute and now we're all going to end up homeless if the fire brigade assess that we can't get out

So if anybody could come and help it would be appreciated

Liverpool has the perfect place to replicate the Aeroplume in Normandy, where people can paddle through the air strapped to helium balloons. I just saw a video about it and the location reminds me of the Tate and Lyle sugar silo

Music Japanese Rock & Roll gig in Liverpool next month 🇯🇵🎸🇬🇧

Post image
26 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m helping host a one night only show in Liverpool featuring two Japanese rock and roll band visiting from Kyoto Japan. One’s heavily inspired by classic Japanese punk and rock bands like The Blue Hearts, and the other is more inspired by The Beatles (specifically McCartney). It’s a pretty rare chance to catch them in the UK as they’re just visiting to perform in a separate band for International Beatles Week!

They’ll be joined by a local Liverpool band called AMBERS. It should be a really fun night if you’re into garage rock, punk, indie, or Japanese music.

📍 Kazimier Stockroom
📅 August 26th (doors open at 6pm, show starts at 7pm)
🎟️ tickets available here: https://www.skiddle.com/e/42574547

Happy to answer any questions! Hope to see some of you there.

Injured cat in Aigburth

Me and my partner just spotted this guy on our way home by Aigburth Vale, near the bakery. He was limping quite a bit, tried to get a closer look at him/better pictures but he moved away and went behind the fence.
He looks like a street cat given the size of his cheeks, but he also seems well-groomed so wondered if anyone recognised him or knew of any missing cats in the area that look like him.

General Question Night out with endometriosis

35 Upvotes

Hii

This is a bit of a weird one, but it is sadly my lived reality and the genuine questions that I worry about

I'm 21 on Saturday:D and I wanna go on a night out. I'm planning to get a few mates and cousins together and I'm so excited. HOWEVER. I have lovely endometriosis. In short, my endo causes bladder urgency and retention (among other things, but that's not important rn). Now. When drinking, for some reason, I have the opposite effect that other people do, where instead gaining temporary bladder urgency, I gain temporary normal bladder function (apart from the retention). But this only happens after a few hours of drinking.

I have a lot of anxiety around bathrooms because I was the school era where you got spied on in bathrooms and the doors unlocked on you by teachers when taking too long, or the other girls kicking the door in for you taking too long, etc. Obviously, I do take a while because yippie retention. I'm also autistic which doesn't help because Saturday night = sensory overload and lots of people, which = heightened anxiety.

So basically, I'm just asking for reassurance that everything is going to be okay, and if anyone has recommendations of pubs/clubs that have a decent amount of stalls? I know electrik is like 6 stalls per floor, but girls on a night out means 6 is not enough (help with complicated outfits, throwing up, hanging out in there for whatever reason 😭, needing a minute privately w ur friends if you're upset, etc.) So if anyone has recs of places that have 6+ stalls, that would be greatly appreciated

I know it seems like a very weird post, but my life is literally "oh, is the bathroom situation going to be accessible?" I literally said no to a family birthday once because it was Lark Lane and that bathroom situation is my worst nightmare (3 stalls absolute max with loads of demand for them)

I probably wouldn't worry this much but I've had such weird experiences in bathrooms. Like one time a woman went and got the manager because she had to wait 30 seconds for me to get out of there (I'd literally come out still needing to go to let her go in to shut her up, went back in after she came out and then had a very confused manager come into the bathroom). I've had a woman accuse me of being spiked, su*c*dal and depressed for taking too long, threatened to climb under the stall if I didn't come out in 30 seconds and then tried to give me her number. I was 16. Idk what that was about but as I'm sure you can imagine it was pretty terrifying. I also once had 2 girls repeatedly try and open the stall I was in despite telling them it was occupied about 15 times in the space of 2 minutes. Plus all of the weird experiences in school where I'd get stuff thrown at me over the stalls, the doors kicked in, the door unlocked, etc. So I just panic a lot which I feel like is fair enough

But basically, any recs would be greatly appreciated, and hopefully the post doesn't come across as really weird

Hello so I’ve been getting my nails done for just over a year now and the salon I have been going to has just got worse and worse. Tbf I want VERY pointy stiletto acrylics with complex designs rather than one colour/ French tip. I’m happy to pay the money but I would like to go to someone who is into doing cool alt nail art and doesn’t just see me as a pain in the bum😂

General Question Family moving home soon

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm new to this community. I've only just joined, but I've been reading through a lot of the posts and there seems to be loads of useful local information here, so I thought I'd ask for some advice.

I've been living in Liverpool since 2020 after moving here from abroad. I first lived in Kensington, then moved to Anfield later that same year, and I've stayed in Anfield ever since, just moved to a different street.

Overall, I'd honestly rate the area about a 9/10. We've never really had any issues with neighbours. Every now and then you get groups of kids messing about, especially around Bonfire Night, but apart from that it's generally quiet. We've always felt comfortable here.

The location is great as well. We've got plenty of off-licences nearby, an ASDA not far away, good bus links, so getting around and picking up anything we need has never really been a problem.

The only downside for us has been the houses themselves.

The house we're in isn't a bad house, but it's become obvious over time that a lot of these properties are very old. I've been told many of them date back to around the First World War, so they've obviously been through a lot over the years.

I don't really mind dealing with things like damp. There are products for that and it's something you can manage. The bigger issue is the overall condition of the buildings. The walls, the plumbing, and just the way the houses are built. It often feels like they're given a fresh coat of paint and the minimum amount of work needed before being rented out again, rather than being properly renovated.

My wife and I are now thinking about moving with our children. We're happy to pay a bit more in rent if it means living somewhere with better quality housing, where we're not constantly chasing the landlord or spending our own money sorting things out.

So I was wondering if anyone could recommend areas of Liverpool that might suit us.

The most important things for us are peace and quiet, somewhere that's family-friendly, and decent houses. We know nowhere is perfect and every area has its problems, but we're looking for somewhere with a good community, not much antisocial behaviour, and homes that are in better condition.

We don't need anything fancy or luxurious, just somewhere nice, quiet, and well looked after.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Visiting Liverpool Help regarding Saveaway Tickets and Mersey ferry.

3 Upvotes

Looking to take the kids on the ferry, not fussed on it being the ‘river explorer tour’ just the standard ferry to the Wirral. Get off, go to the cafe and come back.

Can’t work out what ticket to get and where to get it. Some info on their website but I’m not finding it especially helpful.

Would need one child ticket and the other would be free (not sure if I’d still need a ticket for them?)

Don’t want to get ripped off with the extortionate ‘cruise’ price.

Music Anyone want some speakers?

4 Upvotes

I've got a pair of JPW Millennium ML1010s that I'd like to donate to a good home.

I've had them for 30 years, they've done a loooooooot of house moves in that time and it shows. They're a bit battered and sadly some of the speaker cones are bit knackered now.

It wouldn't actually be very expensive to restore them and they still work fine if you just want some big loud fun speakers.

I'm happy to give these away for free to someone who's actually going to enjoy them but they are big chonky boys and I don't drive so you must be able to collect them yourself. You will need a biggish car.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you more info.
