UHCW on the up - Sky News

Positive to see the maternity unit at Coventry's UHCW being praised as "on the up" and "one of the best in the country" on Sky News' two day long live coverage of births at UHCW.

Kudos to all the hard working nurses, midwives, doctors, porters and everyone else at UHCW involved in providing such a great service.

As the title suggests, I'm after some car valet and cleaning recommendations. A proper deep clean as opposed to your standard hand wash set up. Any recs much appreciated and how much you paid (if you're comfortable sharing that).

Priory Undercrofts - new experience

13 Upvotes

I'm not linked to these guys, but I have seen the film & it's very good!

Priory Undercrofts have had a bit of a makeover as we begin the process of improving the visitor experience.

We’re currently screening on a loop the (excellent) ‘Power & Piety’ film - it’s only 18 mins but packed full of interesting background and information about the history of St Mary’s Priory Cathedral.

Visitors can come along and soak up the atmosphere anytime during our public opening hours (12-4 tues/thurs /fri/sat) - with (free) 1 hour timed access PIN codes available from the main PVC building allowing folks to explore the space at their own pace.

Ps. We’ll also be putting on a selection of events down there in the coming months - check out the full programme here:-

Lost bike from Charterhouse area, Stoke Aldermoor

5 Upvotes

It's a long shot, but if anyone knows or saw a bike being taken around 3pm yesterday from Stoke Aldermoor area, Terry Road. I would appreciate any info and would gladly offer £100 reward for it's return.

It was around the time the kids from Blue Coats School finished and I hadn't locked it up, so stupid of me! I can imagine a group of lads finding and joyriding it home.

It's not expensive, but I use it for work and occasional bike rides. Thanks for reading!

Wanted: Adults in UK using GLP-1s for Research Survey (Mod Approved Post)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm looking for more English residents so if anyone is eligible I'd really appreciate if you could take part. I’m a master’s student in Psychology - Mental Health, currently undertaking research for my dissertation on GLP-1 users’ experiences with food, lifestyle and mental health.

Who can participate?

  • aged 18+
  • living in the United Kingdom or Ireland
  • prescribed any GLP-1 medication, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Saxenda
  • taking it for 3 months or longer

The survey is anonymous and takes approx 20 minutes.

If you’re eligible, you can take part here: 

https://ucc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0ugHbdZHPtudDZs

The aim of the research is to better understand the day-to-day experiences of GLP-1 users, including food, eating patterns, lifestyle, wellbeing and mental health. This study is not funded/no commercial interest/no medical advice. More information about the study is provided on the first page of the survey.

This study has been approved by the University College Cork research ethics board.

Thank you to anyone that participates and to the mods for allowing me to post. Feel free to ask questions.

Need a new friend group. Where do I go about finding them?

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m 21 and graduated from university last July. Since finishing uni, I’ve realised that a lot of my social circle has gone in different directions, so I’m looking to meet new people and build some genuine friendships in Coventry.

I’d really like to get out of the house more, try new things, and spend time with people who are interested in making real connections rather than just chatting online. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee, going to events, exploring the city, gaming, watching football, hitting the gym, or just hanging out, I’m open to meeting like-minded people.

Ideally, I’d like to connect with people around my age (roughly 20–25), but I’m happy to chat with anyone friendly and looking to expand their social circle too.

Feel free to drop a comment or send me a message if you'd like to connect!

Coventry's Olympic sized swimming pool

0 Upvotes

Nobody's sure what to do with the site.

How about reopening it and running it as a swimming pool?

There's no shortage of funds when it comes to building unused cycle paths....

Broken Glass

11 Upvotes

Is there a reason why this city is absolutely covered in broken glass?
Everywhere I go, there's broken glass. It's not "just 1 area", I've worked a job in this city where I travelled to all areas, and just because YOU probably don't notice it doesn't mean it's not there.
I have a dog and a child and I am needing to be constantly vigilant and it is rampant.
I got back from Berlin (been multiple times, explored the entire city) and no one is saying it's spotless, but comparatively it's unbelievable. Do people here really not notice? Or do you not care?
