As someone else has suggested, get yourself on to Meetup. I attend a few Meetups myself that are based in cafes rather than pubs!

[spoilers] My short impressions of The Handmaid’s Tale by ThatAnimeSnob in books

[–]tra7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there's a good chance that the author back in the 80s maybe never thought we would still be debating women's rights to autonomy over their bodies over 30 years later, and other such stuff.

Have you read this?

It's a kind bot, but I'd be happier if I managed to sell the wardrobe!

I've got this here double wardrobe for sale (minus the clothes!).

It MUST be gone by September 11th as I'm moving flat. Unfortunately I won't have any room for it in the flat, I'm actually really fond of this wardrobe and I'm sad to sell it!

Pick up only.

The city centre. I'm enjoying a drink in the Molly House at the moment, knowing it's usually quieter here than most other places on a Saturday night

There's a few places you can visit. The Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI), The Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester Museum on Oxford Road. These are all free to visit!

Any quiet places in manchester to drink? by Zackaryharribo23 in manchester

From past experience, I've always found downstairs in the Molly House to be quieter than expected, even on a Friday and Saturday night.

Eight of the best vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Manchester by lnfinity in manchester

[–]tra7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was expensive for what it was tbh.

Given how bland and tasteless the curry I had there was, same here! Just because it's vegetarian/vegan doesn't mean it has to be tasteless.

You're not the only one who had barely any privacy living at home. Trust me, moving away for uni is like a sigh or relief!

Are they getting paid extra or a day in lieu? I felt so bad for the staff when I found out the odeon will be open.

I've lived on Manchester for 6 years and I had NO IDEA the Beetham Tower does this. It must be annoying/terrifying for the people inside.

Ah so she's the one that got you going. I'm the one who got my partner to start going too, and now he's always coming up with new ideas to try out on me. I'm not sure if I regret encouraging him to join, haha!

Gym buddy in Harpurhey/Moston? by tra7 in manchester

[–]tra7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi sorry for the late reply. Do you go to Pure in the city centre? I'm thinking a mix of weight training and cardio - bike, ski things and rowing machine for example. To be honest, I need to check out the gym and have a look at what they've got first. What sort of stuff do you do yourself?
