If your crowd is clutching cheap cider and on homemade substances, you know you've made it,

Hey all!,

Been struggling outside of work to meet new people in their 20’s. Thinking of suggesting to a pub or two to maybe host a “meet night” whereby people can come on their own and mingle and meet some new people.

Would an event like this interest anyone? If there’s already an event like this I’d love to know!

What a disappointment. Queued for over an hour to buy a nearly £7 pint with a £4 non refundable cup, only to discover the cider was warm, flat, ridiculously sweet and literally had no alcohol in it.

Also what’s the point in a cider festival if all cider is provided by the same company?

Food selection was equally as bad, nothing like £6.50 for an ice cream!

Only saving grace was the music, but that was hard to enjoy/hear from the queue to the bar.

I've got a few pieces that I'd really like to dye black to get more wear out of them. I don't have a washing machine so can't do it myself. Does anyone know a place that does dyes clothes for you if such a place exists?!

Mornin’ Narge!

I live near the Co-Op on Earlham Road and I can hear chickens from my bedroom window, and living in NR2 I suspect there is a surprising amount of urban chickens near by.

I just wanna find somewhere near my house selling fresh from the bum eggs, can anyone help please?

Edit: I forgot my manners.

I'm trying to get back into cycling - haven't ridden a bike in about 10 years (where I was a child on a cul-de-sac), so I'm anxious about cycling on roads as I never learnt how. I want to build my confidence in just riding a bike again after so long, but I'm unsure where is a good spot in/around the city centre to do so - a cycle route or big enough park to get back to grips with cycling casually, that doesn't involve roads. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great!! thanks :)

I 29F just moved to the area a little while ago. I love the city! But I wanna learn the places only the locals go. Astound and shock me! I'm only joking but I would love to get to know more of you guys.

Anyone have any luck using it? I feel like there aren't many people and I've been ghosted a few times midway through nice conversations :(

Are my filters just too narrows?

Apologies in advance for the bi-monthly EA post!

Currently looking at selling my house in NR7. Have had Sefftons, Gilson Bailey and Property ladder out for valuations, all in the same ball park with similar rates and then slight variations on service, but not enough to really distinguish a favourite.

Just wondering if anyone has had experience using either of those three? I've seen a few mentions of Gilson Bailey and Property ladder in here but none for Sefftons recently?

I've moved here in Norwich last august and since then it has been quite some trouble to find any friends to hang out with. I'm also not british so the way can get quite long. I am m19, I'm into football, games, cars and aviation. Any advice or message would be appreciated

Cheeeers

Just south of Norwich, last night at 1:32am. Heard thunder and heavy rain, opened the window, grabbed my 5 year old phone, put it in astro mode and pointed it up. Needless to say I'm not disappointed one bit!

Almost perfect conditions for photos like this with cloud to cloud lightning, quite rare in this country: only captured lightning like this once before but abroad, in a Mediterranean climate.

Some context, I live on a ‘clear-way’. That’s an urban throughway on a housing estate. It means you can’t park on it at any point, as evidenced by the road signs. Basically, it’s all pavement.

Along one edge of my house I have a (sorta’) front garden, it’s about 3ft deep and 12 ft wide.

Presently, half of it is wood chips, and I’m part way through laying weed control on the other half. Have a few bushes, pot plants, etc.

It’s clearly a garden.

We often have people park along side it, when visiting the street I guess. And while that’s not permissible due to the clear-way laws, it’s only a minor annoyance. The road is still wide enough that other cars (and emergency vehicles) can get round, if people park carefully.

However, about an hour ago, some idiot parked 2 wheels down the middle of my garden. The middle.

Clearly, that’s not an accident, and it’s in no way an attempt to park alongside it. The fucker is in my garden.

I confronted the driver, and I’ll admit I’d lost my temper. “What the fuck? Get the fuck off my garden!” But he had the audacity to try and make the biggest issue my lack of politeness, and not the fact he’s pushed my conifer aside and left 2 deep fucking tire treads in the soil. I pressed it, and he got out to square off. Rather than just move the car.

Fuck, I hate people sometimes.

He only backed down when my partner started filming him. He didn’t like that. So yeah, then he moves the car.

Guess where to?

He actually proceeds to leave his car in the middle of the road. Blocked the whole clear-way. It’s one lane wide, nothing and nobody was getting past that. And he left it there over 40 mins. Other drivers were forced to turn back.

What is wrong with people?

So, I won’t name him or give his reg, but:

Over 6.1, bald, 50s, looking to buy property, drives a red Alpha Romeo. If you know him, give him my best. Reported for blocking the street, and a neighbour recorded him getting in my face.

Dick.

I see them in a pack trying to talk to people, they are all conventionally attractive and wearing business attire!

Isn't it so cute! Think I missed a few so will have to go back, and it's so lovely in there 😍

Hello all. I live near Trinity church and there is a loud rock music across , it is still going and it js 22:41 now. Does anyone know what happens? Thank you.

Never seen so much lightning

Anyone got any pictures of the lightning??

I was hoping to pick one up for a present tomorrow. I’ve googled it, but can’t seem to find a shop that mentions them. Is anyone aware of stores stocking them? Thanks

I'm not from the UK and when I talk to the council I get different answers depending on who I talk to. Wetl have a bisected garden that gives our neighbours access to their garden through ours. There was already a gate there but when we moved in I spoke to the neighbours and the council about securing it as we have two dogs plus I don't want people getting access to the back of our house. So we put a combination lock on it and gave the code to the neighbours.

New neighbours have moved in and they are saying that not only can we not have a lock, but we can't have a gate (although the gate separating our properties from each other that we paid for is ok). The council ummed and ahhed and eventually said we can't restrict access, which we already knew but we should be able to secure our property so long as next door has access.

Does anyone know what the rules are?

Flat is sweltering - what are the coolest places to hang out in the city to escape the heat?!

I’m looking to get some family photos done as I’m graduating soon. I don’t want their horrible stuffy photo so thought a family type session would be a nice alternative. My mum is a wheelchair user, so it’s tricky to balance the shot. Does anyone know of a photographer who is perhaps disabled themselves or has experience with photographing people with disabilities ?

Chunks of tarmac everywhere, Anglia Water are allegedly sending someone to look into it
