Spent a few years tracking down and interviewing the writers and figures who shaped the walls and subculture of Newcastle and the wider region. SICA explains why he writes “SICA” and how he got involved in graffiti ( Editorial Interview ) INCH explains the TNS crew and his involvement with Newcastle’s Graff Scene, The Byker Romeo explains why he painted Dallas Carpets roof and The Yeti shows us his hidden domains under Scotswood Bridge. Loads more including ‘Cack Handed Kid’ The writing Is On The Wall and ‘Mr Zee’. You can explore the full photo archives and video interviews over at the peep magazine

Hello Geordies of Reddit!

I know a lot of people find it difficult to meet people offline and to find an excuse to switch off from the online world for a bit. So me and a few friends are hosting a Screen-free board game night, October 22nd, at The Lost Wanderer Inn.

It'll run from 6pm till roughly 9pm and is free entry. All you need to do is turn up, switch off (or at least put away) your devices, and be present in the moment for a few hours.

We're hoping to turn it into a monthly event, possibly switching it up doing things like crafts or walking tours of the city.

Here's a link to "book on" - Its not required, but helps us get an idea of numbers.

Hi, please help -

I don't use the buses loads but when I do i always screw up the pay by debit card bit. What you supposed to do? Put it down immediately? Sometimes I'm told to hold on. Do I wait until the driver looks at you like your an idiot then you put it down?

No matter what I do I seem to make this harder than it should be. I reckon 1 in 3 times I get an error in the terminal thing

Posting here in case northeast buses are weird or something!

Hello everyone!

I am an international student who started uni 3 weeks back and I have found Morrisons and Sainsbury to be closer to me. I see that people recommend Aldi/Lidl over these as they are cheaper. Are there any stores that are not these popular ones but have things of good quality and also cheaper?? I visited longbenton once and there was one which had 2-3 things cheaper than aldi and lidl as well. I have memberships for all the stores and so I get the member prices but just wanted to know if there are some that aren't as popular and have things for a good price too. I am vegan so I wouldn't be needing non-vegetarian options.

Thanks in advance!!

I need to move a classic 1998 Mitsubishi FTO from Brentwood to Newcastle. I'd prefer to drive the van myself idealy as it might take a few hours to get the car out and i dont want to have to rely on others if i can help it. Shipley prices have been almost as much as I'll be paying for the car itself.

Thanks in advance for any help 🤞

I am going to Newcastle Friday - Sunday. Staying on Quayside. Looking for best options for parking. It looks like you can park at Metrocentre park and ride for free but I cant find anywhere if its ok to leave the car overnight. Other options seems to be Heworth Long Stay. Does anyone know which option is best or if there is anything else?

I'm 33M and looking for recommendations for personal trainers around Northumberland Park area. I can't drive so unable to travel much further - any recs much appreciated.
