r/DerryLondonderry

Daughter wants a personalised licence plate for her bday - I know absolutely nothing about how I'd even go about doing this. Is there any businesses in the town can help out?

Hey guys can anyone point me in direction to get the big buzzballs in Derry please

I know Dawson Hinds exists but I'm not happy with the chairs I've got from them in the past and don't want to give them any more money.

I don't have the budget for the expensive brands like Herman Miller either. I know the Aeron is a common suggestion but I can't see myself being comfortable in something like that.

There's a popular one at a reasonable price called Slouch Task One but they don't ship to Northern Ireland the cunts.

I also already have a motorised standing desk to break up the long periods of sitting down but I need something comfortable for the time i am sitting which I still mostly do

Any good free councillor sessions in Derry

Already taken it up with HR and they have done nothing. Ongoing issue for a while

are they closed for good lol does anyone know what happened 😬

I'm not a lighthouse keeper, I live off the Creggan road. Nobody has to row out to my island to deliver post. But despite this I seem to receive post in a bundle every couple of weeks.

I got a text notification of an electric bill due in 2 days--I wonder if I'll get the letter (likely sent early August) before the actual due date. I'm also waiting on another important bit of post. Haven't seen a post van on this street all week.

Meanwhile packages arrive daily. If the same letters had been sandwiched between two bits of cardboard they would have been flung in the direction of my front door a week ago.

This town has 4.7% unemployment! Why are the roads still fucked, why are the letters un-delivered? Are these essential services all just total nightmares to work for? How do we change this?

Looking at buying a house (not a first time buyer.) Priced out of the city by the looks of things so would folk recommend Claudy or Eglinton as an area to live in for a forever home? We do a have a longer work commute but with the new road what’s 10 minutes at the end of the day.

Hi everyone!

​I’m a 28M from South Africa, living near Lifford/Strabane and working up in Letterkenny. I moved to Ireland in 2022, and I’m looking to make some real, genuine connections with people around the areas of Derry, Strabane, and Donegal.

​I value honesty, openness, and spontaneity—I’d love to find friends who enjoy hanging out without needing to plan things weeks or months in advance.

​A bit about me and my interests:

​Music: I’m really passionate about music production and DJing (still learning!). I'm into melodic house and techno—think Anjunadeep, This Never Happened, Cercle, and Afterlife. I’d love to keep learning, get better, and eventually play a gig somewhere. I also just love dancing and listening to emotional music.

​Fitness: I'm into training and go to the gym a few times a week.

​Film: Massive fan of movies, especially horrors and thrillers.

​Watches: I'm into collecting watches and love learning about them.

​Pets: I have 2 dogs who take up a good bit of my time.

​Who I'm looking for:

​People who enjoy chilling at home, but are also down to head out if a good music event or DJ set pops up.

​If any of this sounds like you, drop a comment or send a DM. Tell me what you've been listening to lately or what your interests and hobbies are!

​Thanks for reading my post!

I’m about to purchase a full ev, I don’t have a charging station setup at home yet. After seeing a previous post how someone couldn’t find a charger in what seemed the whole of Derry….. is it wise to make the jump to full ev?

Anybody else actually glad the cops took the pallets?

And before the “two-tier policing” excuse gets rolled out, wise up. We don't have to defend something just because loyalists do it too. Let loyalists answer for loyalist bonfires; that doesn't mean we have to support our own wee hoods by default.

Burning massive bonfires covered in flags, wrecking roads that the whole community has to use and leaving everyone else to deal with the mess isn't culture or republicanism. It's chav mentality dressed up as something deeper.

Derry is better than this.

You don't see this carry-on being accepted in Galliagh, Shantallow, Ballymac or plenty of other nationalist areas anymore, so why should the Bogside and Creggan be treated differently?

And here's another question — where did all the extra pallets come from? If pallets were removed beforehand, how did they suddenly manage to get their hands on enough replacements to build the bonfires anyway? Somebody supplied them. I'd genuinely like to know where they came from.

If we're going to criticise loyalist communities for bonfires, flags, hatred and damage, then we can't suddenly make excuses when it happens on our own doorstep. That's not “two-tier policing” — that's having the same standards for everybody.

The Bog and Creggan need to catch themselves on. Stop burning the roads we drive on, stop giving a handful of wee hoods control of the community, and find something better to put our energy into.

We can celebrate our identity without copying the worst parts of somebody else's.

We can't find any fast ones that are working. Big drive back to Scotland on Wednesday, can anyone advise one in or east of Derry that is working? Using zapmap but the only ones we have found to work are slow ones in the city.

Hi does anyone know of any photo printing kiosks around town that print 3x3?

Is there any free services in the north west that anyone can recommend for someone struggling with alcohol abuse. I can appreciate its the weekend but ive messaged one or two places with no response.

The fantastic Hadestown show which I’ve seen previously in the Westend is on tour from next February and they still at the booking stage. I wonder is there a way to request it be shown in the Millenium Forum? I was intending to see it again and I’d rather avoid a trip to Belfast

Anybody have any background on the seemingly ironic naming of Irish Street?
