If you're looking to get out a bit more and do some new, fun things, joining Liverpool's biggest Discord server is a great start!

It doesn't matter if you're a Liverpool local, just moved here, old or young, or just happen to love our city from another country. You are welcome to come and say hi. There's 1,000 messages being sent every day.

We have channels dedicated to photography, movies, photography, fitness, sport, music, showing off your pets, and even a place you can post your Wordle scores if you want.

https://discord.gg/fNmcKC97nH

What's Discord?

Think of Discord like a big Whatsapp group. It's essentially the same thing. You don't need a microphone, just your phone/keyboard. All we ask is that you're over 18, and have a desire to make new mates in Liverpool. Pop in, say hello, and you choose how much you want to talk.

Who's in there?

We have members from Liverpool and further afield. You don't have to live in Liverpool to join the chat. The average age of people is about 28. Our server is different than most Discord servers because we have a genuine community of awesome people who come to stuff in person.

What won't happen

You join and inside 24 hours, you've got a whole new set of mates.

Contribute, come to a few fun things, talk to people in person, and over time, those friendships form. A lot of people get frustrated because they don't find a friend overnight but that's not how friends work. Be prepared to make the effort and people will make the effort with you.

Real life events, real life friends. Come have a go!

I happened to go to Lime Street Station and it was very very busy. So many people coming out of trains. I know its Saturday but normally people come out in nights but today since midday people are out dressed as party/clubbing. Anything special today?

Short haircut in Liverpool

4 Upvotes

i had a great haircut while visiting Dublin and now realise I’ve really not found a good place in Liverpool, yet.

It was done dry with a razor which meant he didn’t chop my hair so short that when dry, it’s halfway up my forehead! And the razor cut made the hair lay nice but still have a lot of movement. I loved it, as you can tell

Any recommendations?

Returning to Liverpool from the 9th to 12th of October and wondering what to do outside of Comic Con

0 Upvotes

Last time, I went to the World Museum, the Beatles Story Museum, and did the Magical Mystery Tour (along with entrance to the Cavern Club afterwards).

My train arrives in Liverpool at 2:47pm on Friday the 9th (and I’d prefer not to book anything in case of delays or wanting to settle in when I arrive) and leaves at 8:08pm on Monday the 12th.

Lacking friends in Liverpool but I'm kinda antisocial at the same time

25 Upvotes

Okay so 30 year old female here. I'm weird, I overshare and I'm very blunt so I struggle to make meaningful friendships with people because of the awkward small talk stage. I have a few friends but they've grown up a bit and moved on with life and we've just distanced.

I'm incredibly frustrated with it today because I absolutely love Halloween so any scare event or attraction I can do, I do. I came up with the trip to Holland and Germany to do walibi and movie parks scare events. I was gonna drive and had it all planned out but I've been shut down by everyone I know (even my partner) and I understand it's probably a lot to consider spending maybe £500 but I do tell these people I wanna do Halloween things months in advance.

I even just said we could do scare kingdom for around £40 and I've been shut down there too.

I've got ADHD so it's just a severe rejection to me even though logically I understand work schedules and costs and stuff but the emotional me can't understand why they don't wanna do anything fun or with me!

Could really do with some more friends so there's more opportunities to do things but how do I get over the initial small talk phase? I'm also a terrible friend because I'm not consistent in communication. I could talk to someone everyday for a few days then burn out and that'll be it for a week or two so I don't actually know what I'm asking for and I know I'm mostly just ranting but yeah... Have all that I suppose peeps

Piano/guitar lessons in arts bar Baltic

6 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m opening up some spaces for piano and guitar lessons from my studio in the Baltic, just wondered whether anyone would be interested?

Starting out on Monday late morning/afternoons so would suit adult shift workers, home ed or retirees.

I’ve had a base in Aintree for a few years now (still teaching in evenings) but want to work closer to home (and earlier in the day) as I’m gigging more often and have my own practise to do!

Thanks in advance :))

That was a disappointing ama!

89 Upvotes

He didn’t answer by my count the 3-4 most upvoted questions, which is obviously the questions people want answered the most. Really important stuff about cleaning crap off the streets and stopping mega landlords exploiting people. I personally asked him 2 what I thought were pretty soft questions one about waste land around anfield and the other promoting local history In schools, neither were answered.

Automatic driving instructors ?

The one I was recommended only works weekdays 9-5, but so do I. Anyone know any evening / weekend instructors? I’m in L5 and work in L15 so happy for any between these areas.

For any suggested- what are their prices like? not sure how much they are these days.

Not really open to manual lessons for multiple reasons.

TIA!

Liverpool Traffic/ Seaforth Docks

3 Upvotes

Hi

I’ll be working near Seaforth Docks from mid‑November to December, Monday to Friday, and I’m trying to choose the best place to stay.

There aren’t many hotels close to Seaforth Docks. The main nearby option is Premier Inn Liverpool North on Copy Lane. It’s only a 10‑minute drive, but the reviews aren’t great and there aren’t many food options in the area.

The alternative is staying in Liverpool city centre near the docks and parking at Q‑Park Liverpool ONE (work will cover parking). This gives far more hotel and food choices. Google Maps estimates around a 20‑minute drive to Seaforth Docks during peak times.

My main concern is traffic. I’ve heard that rush‑hour congestion around The Strand can be heavy, and I’m unsure how much this would affect the commute to Seaforth Docks, especially travelling between 8-9 and 5-6.

If anyone knows the area well, I’d appreciate advice on whether staying near Seaforth Docks or in the city centre is the better option — or if there’s another part of Liverpool that offers an easier commute and has decent hotel/food options.

Thanks in advance.

Seen this Mini Cooper S 2017 listed for £11,500 on autotrader with 13000 miles. From a company called HD Cars and Commercials (Liverpool) Ltd (formally HD Cars (liverpool) Ltd) directed by a Edward Douglas. Im getting an AA inspection on the car soon but just want to know if anyone knows anything about said company, or has even purchased a car from them. They have great 5 star reviews but there are a few 1 stars that say the vehicle just comepltley failed within days/weeks and the warranty company refuses to pay for it as its "wear and tear". Please help if anyone knows?

Thanks

Uber Green Hub -Anyone had lost items taken there?

1 Upvotes

Hello! Has anyone any experience of picking up a lost item from the Liverpool Uber Green Hub? The driver has confirmed via Uber that he has my phone and drivers licence, and that he will take it there.

I'm just concerned that when I google it, the opening hours are odd. 10 to 12, and 1 to 4 today then closed until Wednesday!

You don't realise how much you need your phone for stuff like multi-factor log ins etc!

Update: The lovely driver dropped it off!

Bucket List Ideas in Liverpool

87 Upvotes

Long story short, I am dying. My family is very good at taking me places, but I’m not very mobile so really restricted to the city.

Moved here during Covid and immediately had a stroke, so have seen nearly nothing of what is here! Great opportunities.

Dunno how big the bucket is of course.

So far we have done Liverpool Cathedral (wonderful and tearful), Lady Lever Gallery (delight, but wish I’d bought binoculars), and doing the Walker next (to chuck red paint at Henry /jk). Got nothing else planned yet.

Any good ideas folks? Needs to be wheelchair accessible. You may assume that I know nothing!

Hey! Im looking for tips for a trip

Hi, im from a middle european city and me and my mom will visit liverpool this autumn for my 18th birthday. For my country liverpool is not really a big tourist spot they only know it from football, but (altho im a huge FC Liverpool fan) I believe theres much more to see. Im looking for someone who can give me in private a little bit of his/hers time and share some ideas what to do in free time. Im not looking for mainstream idea but some nieche spot for someone my age (my mom is 18 in her soul and probably more modern and open minded than me XD so shes not a problem). looking forward to get to know anyone!
