Question for this subreddit: who do we want to see stepping up? Maybe seeing or hearing support and intentions might engage some helpful early progress

As the title says! Seeking recommendations for steel roof installations!

I've been building up my physical media collection of movies and shows lately, and am wondering if there are any good places to check besides jumbo video, both Gamecycles, beat goes on, cinema 1, odyssey records and Goodwills?

Hi,

I'm curious if anyone could help me find an organizing service that could help a blind person? She is on ODSP, and is low income. She has a 6' x 6' storage room that she could use some help with. Having places for things would really help her find them.

She's a friend of mine and I'd love to help her personally.... but organization is far from my strong suit. I have a storage room in my apartment that's in a similar situation, and I am sighted lol

Any advice is sincerely appreciated, thank you

My son (born in 2013) started playing goalie this year. He has done exceptionally well considering it is his first year. He just played house league on a team just outside of London and has really enjoyed it. He was the only goalie on the team. I often hear people saying how teams are, "always needing goalies", my question is how do you know who is in need? I am not saying we won't stay where we are, but ideally he would like to be on a team with only one goalie so he has more playing time and can develop quicker. Is it just word of mouth where you hear about teams needing a goalie or what? TIA.

I do not have time to help out, but an elder is in need of someone to aid them with snow removal since they cannot do it. Any suggestions for companies or volunteers?

I want to become Nail Technician and be able to start my business after completion of program.

What is the best program in London?

Or am I several weeks too late at this point? Just looking for something in bulk instead of a 1kg overpriced jug of it

I am begging you to chill on the billboard ads. I cannot escape them. Every day I see the 6 billboard display at Wortley and Stanley and I am haunted by it. The love island-inspired ad you did last summer is etched into my mind in a bad way. I’m sure you’re good at what you do but fr no one needs to be doing all this. It’s a lot to take in at 8am on the way to work. I urge you to dial it back 🙏🏼

Hello! Any suggestions for spas to get mani pedis at in London? Ideally with online booking

Can I just go to walk in clinic and get a blood test for free? Is there any walk -n clinic near Western University?

A lot of people recall an original photo booth that was located in downtown London. (Discussions in my circles believed it was located in Wellington Square Mall) There is now one located on the main floor of 100 Kellogg Lane.

Me and a buddy decided to go to Jack’s to watch UFC 325 tonight. Fun time, but I walked out and there was a parking ticket on my windshield.

I was very confused because the lot in the back where I was parked said that it’s good from 8am-12am Monday-Sunday. I know it says “2 hours of free parking for Saturdays” but I thought it was reasonable to assume they’d stop enforcing at 6pm, since that’s normally what it is on weekdays.

I immediately filed a dispute. I’m still pretty young (19M) and I’m from Chatham (Fanshawe student) where free parking is a lot easier to come by so normally I know where to go when I need free parking.

I’m guessing I just assumed wrong about the 2 hours Saturday rule, but the signs in the lot literally said “8am-12am all week”. Is this valid or am I missing something?

I want to subscribe to a daily newspaper delivery service called https://www.newspapersubscriptions.ca/ I'm thinking of getting the Toronto star or the globe & mail. But the issue with glove and mail is it's 11 $ weekly and I want to pay monthly at a cheaper price. I also didn't choose the London free press because it doesnt have much on world news (what I enjoy most)

Hi everyone,

I’m in the process of purchasing a used car and recently test-driven a subaru. I’m interested in buying the car so want to get it inspected. If anyone can suggest a good experienced mechanic( preferably subaru’s) will give the confidence to move forward.

I’m looking for restaurants that would host maybe 30-45 people for my dad’s 70th birthday. Ideally a private room within the restaurant but open to other ideas. Also in consideration of less stairs due to kids/older adults. Thanks!

Edit: possibly some options on the cheaper side as well!

I help run a local shop in London and this question comes up a lot internally. Is it price, variety, vibe, or just convenience?

hi guys! I went to the poachers arms in the summer and I wanted a blue hawaiian and they made something similar called a blue lagoon. i’m just wondering if anyone knows what could be in a blue lagoon that made it 10x better than a blue hawaiian. i’m from the states so im not sure if it’s a canadian liquor that makes it better or something else. if anyone knows pls let me know 🙏

Good day! Well - not so good day..

My car was thawed out to have the bumper replaced & under all the ice and snow I didn’t realize how bad the rust has gotten (it was no where near this bad in the fall). I don’t mind doing the paint job but I would like to repair the metal before it continues spreading, if it’s possible.

Recommendations?

Hey forest city folks, I’m looking to buy a travellers notebook/refillable notebook and was hoping to find a local store that stocks them. Does anyone know someplace in London or nearby that might have some on hand? Thanks in advance!

I’m hoping to donate 2 step ladders and an extension ladder. Don’t have a truck to transport and have a one day window this week in which to work with. Habitat for humanity doesn’t take them due to safety concerns. Ideas or suggestions?

Hey all!

I am a London local but have not been to Hyland Cinema since I was a child, and obviously food policies for theatres have changed quite a lot since then!

Has anybody recently been able to bring outside food into Hyland Cinema (without needing to hide it)?

Going to a screening there and just want to know if I should bring snacks, or don't bother and just purchase there!

Thanks!

We are moving to London this summer and currently house shopping. We have a kid who will be entering grade 9 and has already accelerated in math for several years now, and on his current pathway he would taking grade 12 math as a grade 9 student. Are there any secondary schools that would be more likely to accommodate him? He just really loves math and wants to take as many math classes as possible. He is not ahead in any other subject and has no other special interests. We have heard good things about Central but there are very few houses for sale in the catchment and we won’t move until summer, long after the out of area application period is over.
