Lots of police and the skate park and gym are blocked off. Not sure what is going on but nothing can be accessed.

I'm not from Hull originally and have lived here now for four years. I work in Orchard Park but don't live there, and the times I spend in office are quite short as I do a lot of my work from home. But I always walk to work through Orchard Park and have not really ever seen anything that stands out as one of the worst places to be around here. Obviously I assume that's due either to the time I spend there being better times or my route through the place going through it's better areas maybe.

Are there certain areas of Orchard Park I should avoid and some that are better? Or is it just made out to be worse than it is?

Blue tits , a robin and I think a dunnock ,also called a hedge sparrow, which is not a sparrow ! ! There's a flighty magpie , posh pigeons and others who brave the 4 cats who live here .

Hi all. I've made a stupid mistake with an accommodation contract. i'm a master's student starting later this month at Hull Uni. I'm now in a situation where I have this contract which I signed a few days back (My guarantor did NOT sign it) but now I can't follow through with it. It was a careless mistake on my part, i should've never signed it without being certain of my future, but i thought i could cancel it later. When i called up the agency, they said ut was impossible to cancel and i'd have to find a replacement. I'm panicking like crazy right now because if i don't manage to find someone, i'd have to pay the full rent. There's literally no way i cam afford to pay the full rent now. I'm completely helpless and would greatly appreciate if anyone with need for accommodation would contact me and take over my contract.

the rent is 112 per week including utilities.

Sorry for the desperate tone. I'd really appreciate any form of help or advice. if you know someone in need of accommodation, would you be so kind as to put them in contact with me. please dm me if you need a room. thank you very much.

Just posted this elsewhere but might help to share for everybody.

You'll see Hull pop up for their new site about to open this month.

You can apply to any Amazon if hulls not there just to get your application done.

After, importantly, you'll need to select a shift at Hull to finish the process. There are loads of shift patterns to choose. You just need right to work to be employed.

You have to be quick as the shifts dont stay long as others pick them quickly

The jobs main drop times are daily at 3am and 3pm

Friday and Saturdays are the biggest drops.

Keep refreshing until 30 minutes past the hour if there's no drops then leave it and try after the next 3 hour interval. The jobs tend to drop anytime in that 30 minute period

Good luck

Need some help finding somewhere for a 60th birthday party

Looking at somewhere that will do a buffet for us and isn’t massively expensive, as well as being in hull town centre so it’s central for all guests (50 ish)

I’ve looked at a couple of places and they either have rooms to rent but without a bar in or they play music a bit too modern for the tastes of the birthday girl lol

TIA

Hi all!

I am an ex-Fishkeeper hobbyist and have been considering getting back into the hobby.

I was wondering if anybody has some spare equipment, be it a spare tank, a filter, a heater, maybe even some filter media to help me get back into the hobby? Obviously not asking for free, as I know how incredibly expensive the hobby is.

Even more so, anybody that enjoys aquascaping that would love to design my tank for me, should I get things going? And I'd be happy to pay for the materials used as well.

I just really miss keeping fish, and seeing other peoples tanks on social media makes me feel "broody" hahaha

Went to see the 34,000t jack-up ship and saw this , right near the deep, late a.m. I posted an egret pic too with a similar maybe 'curlew' and a mystery -'seal ??' I think this is a curlew but new to this .

Thought I'd snap the usual seagull but saw these - Little Egrets I think . Mystery pic has a curlew ?? that I didn't even notice and maybe also a sneaky seal . . . I don't know

I am new to hull as an international student. I have been here for a week. So far i have only applied for part tike works in Indeed and Reed but i haven’t been able to get one. So I really would appreciate if someone can help me with how to get a part time job here in Hull?

Prior to this, I had never seen a live one anywhere in Hull.

I kind of want a gym that isn't constantly full of professionals as I find that intimidating.

I'm female and losing weight - currently 50lb down, another 90 to go.

Can we please bring back live band karaoke??? Lost in the downfall of dive pubs from 2012, let's make public catharsis sexy again.

Of course they fucking will be.

I’ve been craving a doner pizza for ages now, I know it’s filthy but who cares, any recommendations? HU3 area. Thanks in advance!!

... While stating that a crackdown on the higher education sector could have a negative impact for the country at large, Centre for Cities said the impact would be more heavily felt in cities including Leicester, Plymouth, Hull and Stoke-on-Trent.

This is because their local universities play an outsized role in supporting jobs, economic activity and exports in these places compared with more prosperous university towns such as Oxford and Cambridge...

I want to get a tattoo that’s skin tone, does anyone have any recommendations for this in the hull area?
