Banner Image(s)
A subreddit looks pretty boring without a banner. I'd like to either have a nice mash-up of iconic buildings and locations in a single image, or an /r/askscience-style rotating banner.

FRAUD HELP NEED TO TRACK HIM DOWN
reddit.comPlease can anyone at all reach out to me and find me the guy on the right his name is SADIQ ABUBAKAR BUKAR-KOLO. I need him to contact me because he’s blocked me when he’s meant to pay me back for something. He owes me a lot of money.
His dad on the left if anyone knows him aswell that would be greatly appreciated.
He goes to Birmingham City University and is doing a masters. He is Nigerian but talked about living in the US.
His dad must’ve been somebody important because he talked about his dad being in New York a few weeks ago about speaking in an important conference.

Hi everyone,
I run a small Discord server for people in and around Worcestershire who are into gaming, chatting, and just generally meeting new people locally.
It's a relaxed community whether you're looking for people to play games with or just want a bit more of a social circle. We also run regular events, including weekly online and in-person game nights, so there's usually something going on.
If it sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to join here: https://discord.gg/kpJ4aHDscA
Would be great to see some new faces

Is it time to put the roof back on Coventry Cathedral?
With news that the Medieval cathedral at Coventry is becoming damaged in large part because the inside was never supposed to be exposed to the elements for as long as it has been - is it unreasonable to want to see an effort mimicking that of the campaign that saved and restored Notre Dame, and finally see it rebuilt 80 years after its destruction? I understand the arguments against: that it's supposed to be a memorial to the wartime fire bombing of Coventry; that it provides a tranquil space for reflection in the city centre... But a reconstruction doesn't damage its role as a memorial, if anything it could instead represent a powerful symbol of reconciliation, resilience and healing, finally restoring a scar on the city’s landscape. Beyond preserving an extraordinary piece of British heritage, a rebuilt cathedral could revitalise Coventry’s city centre, attract international tourism, create jobs and generate millions for the local economy, much as the new tomb of Richard III brought an estimated £79 million in Gross Value Added to Leicester. Given we have a Prime Minister interested in redevelopment outside London, and the King is an avid lover of saving important British architecture isn't now finally the time for a campaign to restore this midlands icon?

Looking for DIY course / tutor support
I'm looking for a beginners DIY course in the West Midlands that's suitable for women wanting to learn the basics. Or if anyone is aware of any qualified DIY / carpenter / woodworker who tutors or teaches short courses? I'm hopefully moving house soon and I'd just like to get better at tackling the basics (and then hopefully more confident tackling slightly bigger projects - fitted furniture, fixes etc.). And even if I end up contracting someone, I'm hopefully more knowledgeable about what they're talking about too!
I know YouTube exists. But that's just not how I learn - I like to practice, get face time for guidance and feedback and learn by doing.
I've already enquired via the Walsall Training Centre so I'm waiting to hear back from them.
I just wondered whether anyone knows of anything else to explore?

Worcestershire Who Put Bella In the Witch Elm?
Still one of the strangest unsolved cases to come out of the Midlands. A skeleton in a hollow tree in Hagley Wood, 1943. A wad of taffeta in her throat, a severed hand buried nearby, no missing persons report that matched. Then two years later, graffiti starts appearing all over the West Midlands asking WHO PUT BELLA IN THE WYCH ELM. Same handwriting every time. Still no answer.
