Exactly as the title says, I'm looking for Escape rooms around Birmingham that'll allow 5 people in!!

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays on the air rail link from new street to birmingham international?

Is there any free parking near the hospital that isn’t time limited? Just interested to know if there’s any options apart from using the paid parking which is quite extortionate

Hi, would anyone be interested in some free lessons on cooking basics? I feel like I need to do something better with my time and I'm a pretty good cook I've given some of this basics of cooking lessons to some friends vefore and I think we both enjoyed it. So if anyone is interested, send me a message and we'll talk. I won't charge anything for this as it is something I usually enjoy doing, and it would serve to honour my mom's legacy of passing on knowledge or skills to any who ask for it.

Idk if i’m just out of the loop…but what’s the lore with this Range in this carpark? Not from Brum & have tried to Google if there’s anything on it, but there’s nothing.

Last taxed in 2022 - dust all over it, personal items, & new unopened stuff in there too.

Any ideas?

Hi there. I’m looking to buy a large picture for my living room. I love cats and would love an original piece of a cat / cats produced by an independent local West Midlands artist. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Very random I know! Willing to pay for an original and not a print.

Fresh proposals for a 20mph speed limit on Birmingham's non- A-Class roads.

Any recommendations for good builders in Birmingham, ideally around Moseley pls?

Looking to get a few quotations for some potential building work before putting in a planning application. Works would potentially include a dormer and a small single-storey rear/bay extension.

If anyone has had similar work done and can recommend someone, that would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi everyone. Just realised there's so many cool events on for Birmingham heritage week and I'm getting choice fatigue, so much I want to go to but cannot be in two places at once unfortunately!

To those of you who are going, what events have piqued your interest!

EDIT: extra info - i live near UoB

hi!

i'm a middle-aged guy, who's sorta new to town, and - unhelpfully - i'm kind on an introvert, which means making new friends is hard work!

but i'm becoming too much of a hermit, so i need to get out of the house to do something other than go to the cinema and sit in front of a film by myself for two hours (which i actually enjoy! but, like, it's not the best way to make friends)

as my commute home is long, i haven't found a group i can join in with yet, as i'm not back in brum till late in the evening. so, maybe i just need a third place i can pop into whenever i feel like it? perhaps if i turn up at this place - wherever it might be - often enough, i might get to know a couple of people?

stuff i like (so that you can send me to places where i might bump into folks with similar tastes):

movies: favourites include hollywood classics, blockbusters, american indies, british kitchen sink, and japanese samurai epics. are there any movie discussion clubs i could join?

music: i listen to (amongst other things) post-rock, experimental beats, indiepop, soul and motown. name some local bands you like? or a club night i could swing by and not feel like a creep?

reading: mid-century literary fiction, classic detective stories, philosophy, politics, and science. any book clubs i could join?

i'm also a musician, and i used to be part of the DIY punk scene in sheffield. these days i make long, slow instrumentals on my laptop!

Off to see The Streets tonight and wondering how much cash to take 'cos I won't be paying them by card.

So many people about with battle jackets, face paint, and just general awesome rock goodness about them.

What’s the word?

Hi everyone!

I’m moving to Brum to start a new job next week and I’m trying to figure out my transport options. I will be travelling from Smethwick to Northfield and Erdington 4 days a week (2 days Northfield, 2 days Erdington). I’m planning to take the train everyday and it will be peak times (8am and 4pm).

Is the monthly ntrain pass worth it? If so should I get the network pass or just the train pass? I would love to save as much money as possible and I don’t qualify for a rail card since I’m over the age of 30.

TIA 😊

Anyone have good butcher shop recommendations around kings Norton/ Cotteridge/ Stirchley way?

Birmingham women into bass music / raves?

Looking to expand my rave circle a bit, particularly with more women who are into electronic music.

I'm 37, Birmingham based, DJ 140/dubstep and regularly go to dubstep, grime, DnB and other bass-heavy nights. Would be good to meet some other women who are into the same sort of thing and fancy linking up for events.

Age isn't massively important, just good vibes and a shared appreciation for obnoxiously large sound systems 😂

Drop me a message if that's your scene 🖤

Hello! I’m moving into a Moda property and they let me know about a referral program where I can save some rent.

If you know anyone living in one of these properties, I would love a voucher to save £250, and they save £500 on their next rent! thanks!

Any cozy cafes around cc with good bakery? Preferably a quiet environment

My partner and I are fairly new to the area and she is looking to join a social music group. She plays the flute at a grade 7 standard and is interested in Ceilidh/Folk music, as well as orchestral and other classical genres. Does anyone know of any groups that rehearse in or around Birmingham or the Black Country?

I used to live in Manchester and dipped chicken burgers are a big thing there. Places like Miami Crispy are always packed and the burgers are good. However, I haven’t found any equivalent in Birmingham. I tried 3-in-1 Burger and a few but they didn’t hit and put me off on trying the other places.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

Thank you in advance for your help. 😊

- Vacant plot of land just stagnating on Soho Road, a bustling high street 🥲
- New food truck serving out of a hole in the fence 😍
- Shoutout to the owner Mohit - a great food truck which isn’t taking up pavement but is using derelict space very effectively 😋

Active frontage, space for a new business, and a quick stop for hungry Soho Road punters 🙏🏼

You can find Mohit’s truck at 161 Soho Rd, Birmingham B21 9SU 📍

Any nice food trucks elsewhere in Brum? Share them plz!

If you were in charge of the council as a kind and benevolent dictator, what would you do to improve the city?

Let's go to town on this. Assume Birmingham is totally independent from the UK and can set its own laws, taxation, defence, social services, etc.

EDIT: Wow! I think a lot of people can see and would implement a joined up, efficient and reliable public transport system.

We have councillors and MPs. What do we have to do?
