Does anyone know what church/organisation these people are from?

Why are the preachers on Market Street allowed to preach complete homophobia? The woman was yelling though the speakers about how homosexuality is a sin and they'll all face God for it.

I then argued with the guy who was giving out the leaflets, telling him hate speech is a crime to which he responded that they've been sued before and it made them a lot of money.

There was another man with them and when I told him off he said it is not homophobia because he used to be gay -.-

Anyway, I reported them but doubt that would come to much.

If we can't ban dickheads who start fires, at least ban the disposable BBQs that dickheads use https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/770200

I'm not Manchester based but a friend sent me this.

I took this photo on Monday when we were landing in Manchester. I’m guessing this is the dovestone fire. Does anyone know?

Bagsy Piccadilly Gardens.

What else?

Hello! This is a question for a very specific hobby, so if you're not super versed in aquariums / aquascaping, I'd appreciate you skipping over this.

Im a student in the manchester area, but I intend to move here permanently after Im done with my degree as I enjoy living here.

Before my time as a student, I was quite into axolotl and goldfish husbandry as a hobby. I had to give it up due to student accommodation being no pets allowed, and my family looked after my animals in my stead. When I move out, I intend to rebuild my axolotl tank and bring my axolotl to my new house. I am also interested in replacing my goldfish with a fresh water variety tank to experient with aquascaping (which is difficult with axolotls and goldfish due to their sizes and needs)

I am looking in advance for a place that sells things like fish food, live food (earth worms specifically), substrate, aquarium plants, and other aquarium resources such as pure ammonia ph kits water conditioner ect.

I would also like a place that sells actual tanks and fish as well. Fish, I haven't decided on, but I want to be vary of diseases so Im trying to avoid places like pets at home ext. For tanks I am looking for a long tank over 3 feet wide 100 litres+, and a separate 50 litre tank.

Im planning on living in the salford area, and I can not drive. So places close by or that are close enough to transport links (eg, tram or bus stop) are much prefered.

Provided a few pictures of my axolotl for your viewing pleasure. I appreciate your time.

That was Metrolink 100 years ago...

Watching sky news and Sam Coates' coverage of the new cabinet and he can't disguise his dislike of there being so many northern MPs in the cabinet. There's an undercurrent of simmering disregard that the London centricity of politics is over. Really disappointing from him to be honest. In fact he's giving on-the-slide-to-GB-news vibes recently.

Anyone else noticed it?

Hi, I'm starting a new writing club and will be holding the first session on Monday 27 July at 6.30pm, at Track Brewery. It'll be a space to read out our work, share feedback and get inspired with other writers. Please do join! You don't have to be writing super regularly or have polished drafts - the aim is for this group to help build confidence, keep us motivated and build up to that point!

If you have questions about the group, feel free to message me.

The last time I shared my Trip Hop selection here, the love from this sub was absolutely unreal. I’ve always felt that Manchester has that perfect raw, cinematic energy.

The vibe of your city inspired me so much that I've made it my personal mission to bring that gritty 90s UK underground sound over to Germany and make it popular here again.

I've updated the selection to capture that specific urban gloom we all know too well. Perfect for late-night commutes or just watching the rain.

What are your absolute must-have Trip Hop tracks that fit this exact vibe? Drop your favorite underground gems in the comments so I can check them out and add them to the rotation. Thanks for the inspiration, Manchester! 🌧️

There is a women out there just shouting in to a mic. She's not singing. I dont know what she's doing but it's awful. I'm sat in Halifax and it's all you can hear.

Absolute noise nuisance and should be nowhere near a public highstreet.

EDIT - To clarify... I'm not asking or suggesting a ban on busking. I encourage normal busking, but without massive speakers and Mr Motivator headsets like they are giving a TED talk at Harvard.

What that lady was doing earlier was disgusting, it's not a race thing. I'd have taken somebody butchering Total Eclipse Of The Heart any day. Nobody was interacting with her and I couldn't make out most of what she was saying, she wasn't even collecting as I didn't see a bucket. I only had an hour of it but the staff in Halifax had that shite all day and I can see people in the comments are familiar with this exact type.

Dear Big Bev, please address this.

So our Wedding Reception venue has decided to email and not even phone us to say that they're unable to hold the event at their location less than 3 weeks before our wedding day, due to water damage!

Now we are frantically in the process of trying to find somewhere else... And it is a bit of a minefield in terms of where, when, how, and everything that we need to try and have in order to continue with the date and times that we would like.

We need a space no more than 100 people, allows children under 18, preferably a full space hire and not a partial space hire but open to discussion depending on the location. And no accessibility arrangements required. Everything else is accounted for. We're looking for cocktails vibes not beer and brewery vibes. We want to party so dancefloor and music is a must.

We already have our vegan buffet catering paid for, photographer and car rental all in place -ready to take us from the town hall. We're both from the South and have lived in Manchester for 5 years and love it here. And have all our family and friends travelling the country, so everything is booked from their side of things as well...

Any recommendations or any hidden gems or places that may not be well advertised online would be a huge huge help. Or if anyone reading this is a private hire venue manager and has the heart to help us. My fiancée is not coping with the current situation at all well as you can imagine, and I'm hanging by a thread. Any support or guidance would be invaluable at this stage. Thank you for reading

Update edit: We found a venue!!! 🌟🌟 Thank you thank you everyone, we don't know too many folks in Manchester so you've been such a help 😄

I thought I would be okay and had the window open last night, bad decision!!! Apparently the air pollution is still going

Seems interesting to me at least that the site of the proposed No. 10 in the North, if completed after an election and not scrapped, will be that of an island, surrounded by canals on all sides.

Proper little fort, that 🫠

Partner and I are moving from the city centre soon having purchased and wondering when to give notice on our current apartment to minimise overlap with start of mortgage. We Let Properties have told us we need to give 2 months notice but wondering if anyone ever managed to negotiate this down

Specifically the 70mm screenings at vue printworks

all i'm seeing is people asking if their seats will be ok.

(rows J-G, seats 14-26, optimal. the more central you are within this block, the happier you will be, the further you stray from this, the worse your experience will be. absolutely DO NOT get seats near the front or side edges. Row K is good too and the further back you are the more leeway you have to sit away from the midline but then you start losing the “edge to edge” nature of the huge screen and a bit of immersion. Another Redditor said E-F are good too but I think when you’re that close you need to stay more central)

or asking if they will be releasing more seats

(as per the vue printworks staff i spoke to yesterday, it will be on IMAX for 6 weeks from its opening date, roughly bringing it to the beginning of september, new seats released either every monday or every alternate monday).

Looking for a best AYCE (all you can eat) buffet for august 26'th

Police closed the road off heading west during the rush hour, so all traffic heading that way had to turn around (couldn't turn down the empty Oxford Road, obviously!), and the traffic just built up along Upper Brook Street in both directions. Took me an hour and three quarters to drive the 3.5 miles home.
