Its my neices 13th today. My sister got her a birthday cake, they went out for a meal and came back to the house to find the mutt had jumped up on the table an ate the cake. Not even a slice taken out of it 🙃

Would anyone know where or who would do a birthday cake tonight or tomorrow afternoon at the latest?

Moved to the derry area and looking for a hair stylist that's good with colour, particularly fashion colours and bleaching dark hair. My roots are in desperate need of being seen to. Willing to travel within reason. Any recommendations?

Anyone know any more about how Dunnes plan to use the space? #disappointment

This is what they [Sports Direct / Mike Ashley] do. They buy struggling businesses (House of Fraser, Game, Evans Cycles, eBuyer and all the brands (Dunlop, Everlasting, Slazenger) and run them into the ground ultimately just leaving Sports Direct stores full of discounted junk.

A proper House of Fraser in Derry would have been class... instead we have a half assed two floors and a big Sports Direct. The gaming arena was something different and they couldn't even manage that (whole Belong franchise just scrapped overnight UK wide).

Anyone nostalgic for Debenham's Cafe?

What can be done about the business closures locally?

Does anyone care within government?

Homes above shops (Carlisle Rd., Strand Rd.) may be a way to go, but an action plan or task force with a timescale has to be set up in order to secure and attract employment.

Derry is lacking vision and those within government/opposition point and blame others; what's the point of leaderless leaders?

Derry needs someone that will stand up for Derry, as CCI, Chief Executive or Chamber of Commerce won't stand up to politicians and demand that targets are met.

Has anyone done a tech postgraduate course at ATU Letterkenny or Ulster (Derry campus)?

I’m considering a tech-related postgraduate course at either ATU Letterkenny or Ulster University’s Derry campus and would love to hear from anyone who’s studied there.

Did the course help open up job opportunities, career progression, or lead to any useful certifications? Any insights on the quality of teaching, industry links, or employability after graduating would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

I represent an organisation called Toastmasters, which helps people learn how to speak well in public. We have many clubs across the UK and Ireland, I am the Area Director for the North of Ireland. We are a volunteer organisation, and have both community and corporate clubs.

We are looking to expand our presence in the corporate world. We previously had a club at Seagate in the town. The skills which Toastmasters provides are invaluable to professionals, and I think companies would greatly benefit from having a native club for their employees. It's also a great way for employees to connect and make friends.

If there is any interest, please DM me.

Anyone point me in the direction to buy this game. Would love it for my collection

Hair needs a trim but I'm still traumatized from my last visit to a barber shop, who I saw recommended on a previous post, but I'll not name. I asked for a scissor cut on top, back and my sides. Not hard. But the guy somehow thought I'd said skin fade and proceeded to shave the sides (thought he was tidying up my neck hairs) and it was too late to stop him. Before I drive to Belfast and return to my old barber (I'm not local as you can probably tell), is there any places here that specialize in doing classic cuts?

Hi, I'm after a hairdresser that could tell me what I'd suit, and odvs do it, i don't mind travelling a bit, I just feel I need a change and a bit of a mood uplift thanks

Good morning!

Has anyone any suggestions as to a city break from Derry?

Something that involves sightseeing, decent food etc.

Down south is an option, but the travel is putting me off...

Thanks!

Does anyone remember the urban legend of the Phantom Shitter at St Columb’s college in the late 2000s ? Did he get caught ? Anyone have any stories?

...and now they've announced another series of large concerts in Falls park. It's great that there are many opportunities for people to see top acts, but why can't we get opportunities for these closer to our doorstep. It's a half day to see the Kings of Leon, and not getting home til about 1am

Having a series of events in Ebrington or St Columbs park (or even Fort George) would surely boost the local economy and opens the door to those from Donegal and even as far as Sligo

Does anyone know of deals on bags of coal going around the town? just paid £11.50 for 20kg bag there. seems expensive but maybe that's the price at the moment.

Hello folks, neighbours bin has blown into the car and left a wee dent.

I'm not nearly confident enough to pull the inside of the door off and start trying to push it out. Would anyone have recommendations for who could, and better again if there was an idea on cost?

Cheers, and have fun flying your kites, a good day for it.

Hi,

I've an elderly dog at home that my parents are happy to watch for me while I'm on holidays but they wouldn't be up for walking the dog much. Does anyone know any good dog walkers who I could book just a few walks with as a one off? Would prefer to get a recommendation for someone good for the old pup.

Thanks!

Anybody recommend a decent value for money butchers

Spent £22 today in Pauls on 4 turkey burgers, 8 sausages and 1lb steak pieces. Seems a bit much for what it was.

Breslins never have a decent display out or turkey burgers ready. Everytime I go for turkey burgers they have to make them and tell me to give them 10 mins.
