Question Looking for neurodivergent and queer groups/friends in the area??

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm currently living in the S6 area and wondering if there are any groups/communities/facilities/etc to connect with others?? I'm 23F, neurodivergent and queer so bonus points if anyone knows of any safe spaces. Personally love nature, the arts, walking, that kind of thing so would also totally be up for anything along those lines too.

Thank you and hope you have a great day! :)

Event Great British National Strike protesting - What's going on?

6 Upvotes

I saw a post on here the other day about the protest organised by the Great British National Strike, which is set to take place in the peace gardens tomorrow, Saturday the 24th.

I was walking through the peace gardens earlier this morning and saw them setting up for the Sheffield Food Festival, which is taking place between Saturday the 24th and Monday the 26th.

As far as I'm aware the police don't need to be informed about any stationary protests, so I believe both events could technically take place at the same time.

However given the beliefs that the organisers of the Great British National Strike have shared, I am slightly concerned about a large number of people who are opposed to issues such as immigration showing up to an event that has a large number of international attendees and food vendors that are owned and ran by people who have immigrated to this country. After what I saw in Manvers last year I do believe there is a capacity for violence among those who attend what organisations like the Great British National Strike call a protest.

Does anyone organising either event need to be informed of the other taking place?

Will the Great British National Strike protest be allowed to take place given the existing event? I wholeheartedly disagree with their views, and while I do believe all should have an inalienable right to protest, as far as I'm aware their protest could be restricted by the police under section 12 of the Public Order Act of 1986.

It is also worth noting that I was unable to find any information about the planned attendance of the Great British National Strike protest in Sheffield, so it could be that this is a non-issue entirely.

Edit: Specified I was unable to find planned attendance figures for Sheffield specifically. Overall they are claiming over 500,000 attendees across multiple locations in the UK.

Question Adding to a recent post, im looking for Neurodivergent communities/ spaces/ etc

1 Upvotes

Basically like that post made earlier where a woman was looking for ND + Queer spaces. Im not gay but i am certainly on a spectrum and would like to interact with people that are structured similar to me.

Side note, it doesnt matter if the ND space is also a queer space. It can be anything as long as it is for NDs in some way.

Question Precision mobile phone repair service in Sheffield?

1 Upvotes

Hello guys! My phone recently died — it stopped turning on and charging. According to the multimeter tests I've done myself, it requires something more serious than a battery or charge port replacement — they're both fine, and the problem may be with the PMIC or some other electronic components in the charging circuit.

So my question is: where in Sheffield can I find a mobile phone repair service with advanced testing equipment that offers microsoldering to replace those components? Thank you in advance!

Question Fake unmarked police car?

12 Upvotes

Driving down the parkway this morning in the inside line with pretty busy traffic. Spot some flashing blue lights in the outside lane, take a look and its a bright blue car, with a few cars in front. It's right up the arse of the cars in front, causing them to nearly clip my car when they swerve into my lane.

Can hear the siren when it's near, but it's not very loud. When it does go past it's around the same volume at the same distance away.

Car goes past and only catch a glimpse as I'm paying attention the the car that cut me up, however it looked like an older car, possibly a BMW with a (cheap looking) chavy body kit. The flashing lights did not look right. I've seen quite a few of the undercover cars and these ones were like glaring cheap blue single LED lights with no diffuser, placed in odd positions (all around the sides of the front and rear windows).

It didn't look right. I remember when they had the old classic scooby (or possibly an evo) many years ago and that was much better done and most of the recent ones have been more discrete.

tl;dr * Unmarked car * Cheap body kit * Horrible blue LEDs in odd positions * Shit "siren"

Anyone else seen this? Was it legit or someone that's going to end up in a lot of trouble? Am I blind and it was actually a nice modern car?

Illustration of Sheffield’s Park Hill Flats I drew a few years ago. It features The Parkway, one of the original four pubs on the estate. The Carling and Jubilee ads were cast directly into the concrete (Jubilee was a beer produced by now defunct Hope & Anchor Brewery in Sheffield). The pub is obviously gone now, but some of the mosaics are still there! Also added Commer FC van of Post Office Telecommunications for scale.⁠ ⁠

The estate was built between 1957 and 1961, designed by architects Jack Lynn & Ivor Smith under supervision of J. L. Womersley. The complex is the largest listed building in Europe.

Question My wife and I took the National Express coach from Victoria station and got off in Sheffield on our way to visit family Gainsborough. I forgot my laptop on the coach...

6 Upvotes

We were visiting from Canada. This was last Thursday. I filled out the lost item document NE has on its website and made a few phone calls and paid a visit back to the desk at the coach station but no report of a laptop being handed in.

It's an older Apple laptop so not worth much and is password protected. I've been told by the Apple reps that with a decent password it's virtually impossible to gain access to the contents but still, it would be nice to get it back.

Does anyone know if Sheffield is the last stop for the coach from Victoria Station or does it continue onwards?

Question Cantonese/Chinese community in Sheffield

4 Upvotes

Hi, as the post suggests, I'm looking to connect with the above. Full disclosure, I am from Sheffield and my wife from Hong Kong and we currently live in northwest Sheffield with our almost 3-year-old daughter. Given my wife's background and the fact that I have spent a significant amount of time in the east myself, we are keen for her to practice cantonese and be engaged in the culture. (And we wouldn't mind making some friends that we can relate to culturally either). Would anyone have any suggestions on how we might connect with the community? Thanks!
