Hi, my wife is wanting to get an electric fire (the media wall type) but is mega picky. She wants to go and view them in person before purchasing one. Is there anywhere local she could go to view some with a load of them on display?

What is up with all the boy racers in Markeaton Park and surrounding areas??

hello all,

recently got a new job in Derby and move there in a week, I’m 23 male and would love to make some friends as I’m originally from Manchester so don’t actually have any friends nearby :)

I love chess, coding, hyrox, running, gym and trying new things and can’t beat a nice walk/hike!!

please leave a comment or message me would love to meet some new people!

Can anyone recommend a good place to do karaoke in Derby?? We are looking for somewhere open in the evening preferably with drinks but we are in our early 20s lol

Recently moved to Derby and need to find a new place to get my hair cut. I have long hair though, so a normal barber won't do. Need someone who can scissor cut. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

So looking for a new friend to go to a show with. Never been to one so hoping to meet someone with a like minded interest. Not a massive drinker so just there for good vibes. Looking for a friendship, if it turns into more then great if not then no problem.

Just rented a property from key properties in Derby and I’m already regretting it. I was meant to move in within the next two weeks but haven’t heard anything back and they take days to respond to my emails. Anyone had any experiences with this company? Upon looking at their google reviews I am filled with more dread😭

The A38 expansion is to be scrapped and the money diverted to defense. The cost of the project was to be estimated at £600 million.

Anyone recommend a good gym in derby? I used to go to pure gym but didn't like how busy it was.

As the title entails, I'm looking for the best Scampi in Derby.

To be honest it can be either a takeaway or just store bought, if it tastes good I wanna know.

Hiii.
So, I’m moving from Derby next week and I have some furniture I’m trying to sell. I’ve been trying for a while but facebook marketplace is dead.
I was wondering if anyone is looking for the following: a kettle (it’s sage green, used for two years), a bedside table (baby blue, also used for two years, originally from Dunelm) and a firm ikea mattress with ikea bedframe.
If yes, please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’m eager to get rid of these things!!

I’m doing some local research for a potential small café idea in Derby. Would people actually visit a welfare first cat café here, or is it not something people are interested in?

Can someone please advise if there are any reasonably priced vets in Derby for a cat to do a dental assessment? Scarsdale Pride Park quoted £299 for a dental assessment alone and I am quite shocked the assessment is priced that high when a standard consultation alone is about £60-70. I looked up online and it says dental assessments costs from £200 to £500. Is the £299 price really the lowest price in Derby? Ta

Hi, was wondering if there’s any sort of group around for single fathers, not too long ago I got awarded custody of my 2 kids. Thought it would be good to link up with other dads in the same sort of situation

Hi,

I’m 30M lawyer i live in Derby and London, and I’m currently building my own legal tech startup. Still pretty early stage and I’m new to the startup scene here.

Would love to connect with other founders or people working on their startups (especially in tech/legal/tech-enabled businesses) who are also grinding away on their own projects. Whether you’re a first-timer like me or more experienced, happy to grab a coffee, pint, or just chat.

Thanks! 🚀

I’m a remote sales guy in Derby doing cold calls and outbound stuff. Usually set up at different cafés working. Anyone else around doing similar remote sales work? Keen to link up for coffee, work together sometimes, or just share insights, hmu!

Edit, I sell lead gen services to HVAC companies in the US. Average deal size is $5-10k, and they’re not totally cold prospects opt in through ads first.
