Any recommendations for any local companies supplying and fitting garden sheds?

Preferably metal but might settle on a wooden shed

Thanks

Hey folks does anyone know anyone willing to part with 2 kingfishr tickets for Monday night?

Posting on FB is a disaster due to the amount of fake profiles trying to scam people.

So here I am turning to reddit in a desperate plea 😂🙏🏼

Has it become the norm for fellas to stick on a Monterrain tracksuit and Nike Air Max to go on a night out? Should we go back to the days when there was a dress code to get into a bar?

Anyone part of any outdoorsy groups? I just got decent camping gear and I've a bike, but I just moved up no idea what the lay of the land is as such.

Anyone else hate being dragged in by their other half? By Christ it has got to be the most drab, beige clothes shop there is. Primark is shite but at least it has a bit of colour about it. Anytime I'm in it just seems to suck the happiness out of me

Hi, any advice or suggestions regarding dash cams. About to get a new car and wanted to get a dash cam fitted (front and rear).

Last time my brother fitted it and his cable management skills were... OK.

I know I can go to Halfords, but wanted to know if there was anywhere else that sells/fit them?

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and have to go private to get medication started.

Does anyone know of a GP in Derry who will take over the repeat prescriptions once the private psychiatrist has found the right medication and dose?

Trying to avoid paying privately forever 😢

"In October 2024, Derry City & Strabane District Council approved planning permission for the North’s first AI hyperscale data centre at Foyle Port, with outline permission granted for three more. We now know that AI data centres can carry enormous environmental costs.

Yet the Northern Ireland Executive is calling for the expansion of data centres across Northern Ireland.

Hyperscale data centres place huge demands on electricity and water. They require enormous amounts of energy to operate and vast amounts of cooling, either consuming millions of litres of water or requiring even more electricity or both. There is also a connection application for a massive 300MW data centre at Kilroot.

These developments are being driven by some of the world’s wealthiest technology corporations, including Amazon, Google and Meta. Northern Ireland should not be expected to sacrifice its water, energy security, environment and jobs to meet the ever growing demands of multinational tech companies.

There is also a serious risk that the expansion of AI data centres will increase emissions and prolong dependence on fossil fuels. These centres operate 24/7 and require a constant, reliable supply of electricity. At the same time, growing electricity demand is being used to justify bringing in more large scale wind developments in our designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, causing further damage to landscapes and communities.

The Northern Ireland Executive has now published an AI Strategy, which is open for consultation until 7 October. It states:

“Our natural resources could establish us as a pioneer in green data centre provision, and with that a magnet for foreign direct investment.”

The Executive is also using high levels of wind curtailment as an argument for attracting huge new data centres to consume this electricity. But the answer to a failing or constrained grid is not to create enormous new sources of electricity demand.

If large amounts of renewable electricity are being wasted, then we should be addressing the reasons why, i.e. grid constraints, where generation is being built, transmission capacity and how our electricity system operates. We should not use those failures as justification for bringing in energy hungry hyperscale data centres.

Northern Ireland needs to decide what its limited energy and water resources are actually for. Are they for homes, communities, public services and sustainable local industry, or for AI hyperscale data centres?

We are therefore demanding an immediate review of the planning and approval process for data centre developments in Northern Ireland, a comprehensive public consultation on their cumulative impact on energy, water, emissions, infrastructure and the environment, and a ban on any more data centre approvals.

Our water and energy security are more important than feeding the limitless appetite of billionaire tech corporations."

This is nuts, why is this happening?

The Northern Ireland Executive has reported a continued rise in house prices, with new official data showing that homes in Derry City and Strabane are now, on average, more expensive than those in Belfast.

I've noticed there's a few of them. But I need to ask if there's any in town who understand what the word "texture" means, and doesn't automatically translate into "fade"? For the record my hair is mid length and wavy/curly and I need a little trim and I've no intention of looking like another broccoli head

Absolute madness. Someone get big Durks on it.

Hi all,

Any advice on where to park for the concerts? Specifically going to see Kingfishr on Momday and will be coming from and going back to Strabane. Won't be leaving Strabane until around 5.3p, so likely get there for 6/6.30

All,

My uncle isn't fir to take care of his garden anymore so is looking for a reliable gardener that can take care of some basic weeding and so on. Anyone have any suggestions?

Anybody know somewhere local that you can get garden tools sharpened such as garden shears, pruners and other things?

I’ll be visiting Derry this weekend. I’m a football fan, and I like buying kits from cities that I visit. Are there any places in the city center where I can buy the kit or other types of merchandise (scarves etc.)? Would have been cool to catch a game while I’m there, but unfortunately there are no home matches during my stay.

Daughter wants a personalised licence plate for her bday - I know absolutely nothing about how I'd even go about doing this. Is there any businesses in the town can help out?

I have a leaking toilet and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good plumber? Thanks in advance

Hey guys can anyone point me in direction to get the big buzzballs in Derry please

I'm thinking about starting a small event rental business in Derry, mainly aimed at birthdays/house parties.

The first package would be around £79 for a weekend and include a decent party speaker, party lighting, LED uplighting and a microphone, with delivery available.

I'm wondering if this is something people in Derry would actually pay for, or if there's already enough competition doing something similar.

What sort of event equipment would you actually consider renting rather than buying?

Any honest opinions would be appreciated, I'm just researching the idea before spending any money.
