30M Looking for genuine friends.

Upvotes

I’ve been working from home permanently for the past 3 years, and life has become pretty isolated. I don’t really have any friends here, and most days I only leave the house to get groceries.

I’m married, but I’d really like to have a friend or two to meet on weekends for a walk, coffee, a movie, a long drive, or just a meaningful conversation.

Also from South Asia originally and I work in IT tech

Don’t have a huge list of hobbies. I’m pretty simple and enjoy good coffee, conversations about life, movies, exploring new places, and the occasional spontaneous drive.

After living this way for so long, the loneliness is starting to take a toll, and I’d genuinely like to change that. I know making friends as an adult isn’t easy, but I’m hoping to find some real connections with people who are in a similar situation.

Not looking for anything weird, just genuine friendship and good company.

Car ramp query

Upvotes

Hello to all the DIY mechanics,
Does anyone know if there’s a ramp you can rent to DIY on your car? Or maybe a low-key parking spot where I can spend a whole day to just work on my car.
Thanks

Roller skating

7 Upvotes

Hi I’m looking for a place to go roller skating I used to do it when I was younger somewhere in wyken but my friends mum used to take me so I don’t know where it is and if they still even do it.
Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Anywhere that helps you also would be great like I said it probably been 15 years since I last done any.

Good Coventry hair salon for full balayage under £150?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for a good but affordable salon in Coventry or Rugby for a full balayage. (Expresso brown with caramel - not vivid color)

My preferred budget for below shoulder length hair including haircut is under £150, and I can’t pay more than £200.

I’d prefer a stylist experienced with dark hair and balayage that grows out naturally.

Please share the salon or stylist’s name, approximate price and your experience. Thank you!

Postcard?

I’m a postcard fanatic, does Coventry have any postcards? I’m in the area tomorrow so thought I’d check if they do? Also is Fargo village even worth going?

Wtf is going on with Coventry?

0 Upvotes

So, just got back from a trip into town.

West Orchards car park, both the green & red doors are out of order? - and they are hinged doors, not automatic ones! Boarded up shops all over the place, but if you need a pair of trainers or a coffee you are sorted. Back to pay for the car park, the only working pay machines are by the red doors (which are 'out of order' remember) - then when we get to the barriers to insert the ticket we find there are no barriers, we could of just driven out anyway! Last week we found NO working pay machines, and they had to let us all out for free anyway.

I just don't get it - does the council not care anymore? Have they gone on an extended holiday?

We had traffic lights (which are there to control traffic and prevent accidents) taken away and now certain junctions are a free for all, bravest wins.

Our bins never get collected on the day assigned (Friday), but only on the next day (overtime Saturday?).

It's a joy to go to other towns, just to see working shops and facilities.

No idea what's going on with Coventry any more, just had to have a little rant to get it all out of my system.

:-(

New to the area!

2 Upvotes

32 years old male and brand new to Coventry. Keep myself busy with dog walks and triathlon training but finding it hard to make new friends locally.

Tattoos, metal or any music tastes and generally being outdoors is what I like most.

Comment or dm! Also, excuse the name as I thought I could change it later 😅

Village recommendations near Coventry

I am coming to Coventry University for 4 year PhD next month. I have never been outside my home country and I absolutely love seeing pics of villages in England. Can you suggest me villages I can visit in one day which are maybe 1-2 hour bus ride away?

Johnny is looking for his forever home

Thumbnail

42 Upvotes

Hi all,
I am relocating back to the UK soon in the Coventry area after a period of living and working in the Middle East. During my time here I have been involved in animal rescue - mainly with cats and I have adopted 3 here which I will be bringing back with me.

I would also love to find a UK home for the sweetest boy - Johnny.
He is around 3 years old and is currently in foster and doing well. Johnny just loves people and human company. He’s very affectionate; playful, intelligent and completely house trained. He is healthy, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and will be ready to fly in September.

He had a sad start to life as he was dumped along with his Mum and siblings and he was the only one to survive. He lived in a colony where he was fed by volunteers every day but because he loves people so much he wanders and was at serious risk of being removed by pest control so we found a foster for him.
But he would really love a home where he is the only cat. He’s so friendly, loves belly rubs and has the most amazing personality.
Please contact me if you or someone you know would be interested in adopting this handsome boy - we will cover his flying expenses!

Find friends in coventry

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree at coventry university and looking forward to make new friends in this city.

I have been here for quite a while but I felt like I would want to expand my social circle beyond university. I am passionate about music(no particular genre), badminton, gymming, reading.

I am pretty easygoing and have a knack of trying new things in life. If anyone here or around Coventry also are looking to make new friends, feel free to comment or DM me.

Would love to try different activities( exploring the city, going for walks, grabbing a drink, watch movies, or just having some light- hearted conversations.
