i’m a recent grad and looking for 1 bed flats/studios to rent , preferably for professionals. i was wondering if anyone has experience staying in any of the following:
Felix apartments
Zephyr
The Mercer
Corner point
and any of the ones close to market square such as Halley house
from the information i’ve seen online and images, they seem to look nice and i’m happy to enquire for viewings, but i’m concerned about reviews saying that security is little to none and there are people breaking in. some of these only have ground floor flat’s available, and as a female who is commuting back from work during the winter, i don’t want to risk my safety.
so if you have any experiences living or visiting these places let me know how it was :)
or if you know any alternative places that would be worth looking at, i’d be more than happy to

Had an incident this morning whilst I was walking my dog on the embankment. A man came up to me on his e-bike and was trying to make small talk. I then realised he had his hands down his pants and was clearly pleasuring himself. When he realised I had clocked what he was doing he quickly cycled off towards the river. I was shook up about it and I didn’t get a photo of him annoyingly. I have reported it to the police although they were less than helpful. So please be vigilant and do report anything odd!

Hello everyone I am a recent IT graduate currently looking for a full-time role, but with bills piling up, I am immediately available for freelance, contract, or remote task work to help stay afloat. I am highly proficient in data entry, advanced Excel, PowerPoint presentation design, and professional writing, and I can also assist with general administrative or basic IT support tasks. I am detail-oriented, reliable, and ready to start working assap

I have a Halloween look idea that would require hyper-realistic features on my face through makeup. I can draw on paper/digitally but I don't have makeup skills or own makeup apart from pencil eyeliner and my mum's old lipstick. Also my skin colour and unique features makes it harder to easily follow tutorials online. Face paint is also very hit or miss on my skin tone

If anyone is down to help/knows anyone who can help, lmk. I would love to hear any tips, makeup or technique suggestions. I can't afford much so if pro-bono isn't possible, that's all good, I don't want to waste your time. But I probably can fight for an extra work shift and use that money to pay for any consultation if it's professional

Or if you're someone who is getting into MUA and needs a face to practice on, I'd be down haha

Hey I currently moved to Nottingham city and studying in NTU. I’m hoping to make some genuine friendships with people I really vibe with, rather than just casual acquaintances.
I love chill, easygoing, down-to-earth people who I can be myself around, have deep conversations with, laugh about random things and just enjoy each other’s company! I’m bit introverted at first, but I’m actually really chatty and open up a lot once I feel comfortable XD
I’d love to find some friends to hang out when we sound like to get along haha

The title really.

I'm currently looking for somewhere private in Nottingham to get travel vaccines and some decent travel health advice before an upcoming trip.

While researching clinics, I came across an article about Regent Street Clinic that made me a bit cautious, with some of the reviews absolutely gutting the place. The 1* Google and Trustpilot reviews hasn't exactly filled me with confidence Lead nurse at private Nottingham clinic suspended, pending investigation

I'm not looking to start a pile-on or make assumptions based on an article or online reviews alone, which is why I'd be interested to hear from people who have actually used them (recently) and who they saw in their appt.

Has anyone here had experience with Regent Street Clinic for travel vaccines or travel health consultations? What was the service like?

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a good private travel vaccination clinic in Nottingham city centre? Ideally somewhere that has good reviews, reasonable pricing, and solid travel health advice.

FWIW I'm going to India at the end of November. Thanks!

I've always wanted to write a guide for the alternative shops/pubs/go-to's in Nottingham

Still, I feel after many years I might be missing some places. Any suggestions or contributions?

I've got:

• Old Sal, Tap, Pit
• Jumpship, Decode, Billy Bootleggers (they've got like nu metal nights)
• Void, Dmg Society, Blue Banana, British Heart Foundation (they have a small alt section haha), Ice Nine
• Gothic fairs they run sometimes

Edit: tysm for all the suggestions !! super excited to check out all of them

We went for a look at the new double deckers at a low key launch event in Sneinton market. They look nice but it’s doing my head in that they didn’t get a registration ending A for 901 then B for 902 etc 😀

Street Art, next to African & Caribbean Food Shop. 43 Mansfield Road. Still there as I type. When street art is by consent and skilled, like this, I don't mind it.

i booked tickets for rock city next friday since there's a halloween warm-up event on but idk what to wear for it,,, esp because i've never been clubbing before. do people get dressed up for that sort of thing or no?

Not too pricy ofc and one that’s trustworthy enough and knows what they’re doing

Approx 19:30 14th Oct Top valley social club went up in flames.

Was in Beeston today, laying my grandmother to rest, and captured a few pictures of Wollaton Hall from the cemetery.

Hello folks!

I'd like to start with a note that, from my understanding, I'm allowed to ask these kinds of questions, as rule 3 doesn't prohibit them (I think?). I'm just mentioning this in case the mods have any questions for me or think I'm an evildoer.

I'd also like to say that I'm an international student at the uni, but I'm a bit short on pocket money, as my mother has to work two jobs just to support me. So, I'd like to know what my options for earning some cash.

From what I understand, I can officially work up to 20 hours a week, and I'm limited to regular part-time jobs and odd jobs. I'm only available on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays which are the days when I have no lectures.

I don't really know where to look for jobs. I was thinking about delivery work, but where I'm from, you MUST be a superhero to earn anything as a delivery guy, and the fines are crazy, so that's a big no for me if this is the same case for UK.

I guess I'm pretty good at waking up at 2 a.m. and staying awake for a few days if needed, but I'm not sure how useful that is in this context. I also know a few additional languages - Russian, Greek and German (But my German is VERY rusty), but I doubt I'd need this here.

Are there any websites that list available jobs or anything like that? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

We’re all obviously slightly lonely cos we’re all looking for friends, me included. I don’t think for me it would work to ask people on the internet to meet up irl, so I’m looking for cheapish hobbies, I’m a girl, 28. I think even having a hobby to do once a week just being around people would help, any suggestions? I was thinking yoga but I doubt people talk or make friends from it

Hi all,new to Nottingham and a bit shocked at how there is no food waste collections in most of the city.

Apart from messaging the council to request that this is rolled out asap does anyone know of any schemes/ allotments that would take food waste? I am currently not able to create my own compost.

Any ideas would be much appreciated as it is paining me to put scraps in the general waste-thanks!

Hiya seen a few of these posts so thought I’d give it a go! I’m 28m and moved to Nottingham at the start of the year for work and hoping to expand my social circle!

I love bouldering/gym but currently injured :(
I love games(mainly league atm but play a variety), music, fashion (thrifting is my therapy) reading, nature and the outdoors! 🍃friendly :) I used to play dnd also and would love to get back into it. Not a big drinker but don’t mind a pub every so often. Down to try new things as well!

Serious resting bitchface and neurodivergence can make it hard to break through with me but I promise it’s worth it haha

Links to discords welcome!

Just been clobbered by the above-mentioned lovely gentlemen for "disposing" of a cigarette butt down a public drain.

Genuinely didn't know this was an offence (I deliberately didn't throw it on the floor!)

Not here to debate the legitimacy of it, as research shows i was in the wrong, fault accepted and FPN paid

But please be aware that if you ARE caught (2 guys in a blue Skoda in Netherfield!), there is a £100 fixed penalty notice (if paid in 7 days, £150 if later). They actually followed me down the road and then parked up waiting for me to dispose of butt. Caught me fair and square.

Before anyone lectures, I have already ordered 2x "butt boxes" so it wont happen again!

But please be aware that throwing down the drain is also an offence.

The most annoying thing is that a) They work for a private company at "no cost" to the council, so assume they are keeping the majority of the £££ and b) they didnt see me doing anything wrong, but sat and waited for me to make an honest mistake.

Hi folks, I’m from Nottingham but been living away for a few years. Planning to meet a few friends who are also coming from out of town - if we meet at Queens Drive Park & Ride, and travel onwards in one car, are they likely to fine the people who leave their cars there?

We’ll be 2-3 hours max. I know that they fine people at Forest P&R who don’t have a valid tram ticket so just wondered if anyone knew about this one?

I still think of Hockley and the Lace Market areas of Nottingham as the "arty" part of the city. The Midland Group art gallery was once situated there on Carlton street, the Art College on Stoney Street, whilst alternative "Goth Shops" like Ice Nine did good business (and probably still do). I made this oil painting a few years ago, experimenting with a limited palette.

Just wondering if they’ll put the usual Christmas trees upside down again 😂 I yelled out to the builders and to be fair they sorted it within five minutes, but I did have to stop the tram
