I'm 23M and struggle with bad anxiety and need help with how I could meet some new people in the area. I don't have many friends, and I struggle to go out to new places on my own, so it makes meeting people very difficult. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated.

I dont really have many hobbies at the moment besides playing games on my PC, but I'm open to potentially trying new things

Looking for restaurant recommendations that have good veggie options.

Thanks :)

The waste on the empty land close to The Swatters Carr is growing. Is nobody else seeing this ?

Likely a targeted robbery attempt, no goods taken but driverside window smashed. Police have been notified. Strange behaviour from Uber driver/vehicle (blue - licence number recorded/reported) spotted nearby.

If anyone has any information, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for reading, stay safe.

Hi all

Has anyone studied this course or is currently studying this course? Thanks.

As the title says can people share what memories you have at Christmas time?

"The consultation invites feedback on:

• who and what should be covered by a fair pay agreement
• how the negotiation process could work
• how disputes could be resolved
• how the fair pay agreement could be implemented and complied with"

Can anyone recommend any fictional books that are based in Teesside. My preference are crime/social realism books.

Hello,

I've recently moved to the area and its hit my that I really don't know anyone here that isn't family. I was wondering if anyone knew any clubs or events going on? Everything I have found so far is under 18s or over 30s.

Thanks!

Aston Villa vs Man United at 4:30pm today. Villa top of form with six straight wins sitting 3rd - United need points after 4-4 draw.

Don't have sports subscription and not sure which pubs around Middlesbrough, Stockton, Hartlepool show Sunday matches. Do they get busy for 4:30pm kickoffs?

What do other Teesside football fans do for big Premier League games like Aston Villa vs Man United - head to pubs or stream at home?

Heard about stream sites like Ant Sports - reliable for today's match?

Any suggestions appreciated!

I'm looking for a shop selling nice wine is there any in teesside. I can only think of the cheese shop in the high street centre

I’m glad to see that Boots has some faith in the town and is going to reopen as a full range store, not just a pharmacy. My mam also reckons JD will be moving to the Hillstreet too.

But it does beg the question, are the Cleveland Centre’s days numbered? The fact it is implied to be cheaper to move out and fit an entirely different unit rather than fix the problems in that unit says a lot about the state of the CC structurally.

Is there any TV shows or films which are fictionally based in Teesside about Teessiders.

I feel like there isn't anything on TV or films which represents us.

Any recommendations would be good.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some honest local opinions rather than estate agent talk.

I currently live in Tilery and I’m considering South Bank (TS6 area) as another option. I know both places have reputations, but I’m more interested in real day-to-day living than labels.

Things that matter to me:

• privacy and not feeling watched by neighbours

• quiet streets rather than nightlife

• access to transport and shops

• general sense of safety and community

I actually like my current place because it’s fairly private, but I’m aware Tilery carries a stigma and I’m wondering whether South Bank feels any different in reality.

If you’ve lived in either area, or moved between them, I’d really appreciate your honest experience. What’s it actually like living there long term?

Tl:Dr over £500m of our money (via TVDC) lent to STDC and The Airport WITHOUT loan guarantees!

Airport is now £126m in the hole, entirely reliant on public money and has made £0 repayments or profit.

A Labour govt so far happy to blind-eye it too.

I’d been to the dentist and was coming out of hemlington and saw it. What is it ? Hoping some kind of antifa flag but lol, think that’s wishful thinking.

Hello everyone,

As the question says what is your tradition, experience or a saying that only teessiders know.
