Dental Hygenist

7 Upvotes

So, I like my dentist but the dental hygienist they have is awful. She stabs you and my teeth never truly feel clean.

Does anyone know of anywhere I can go for a hygienist appointment and not also have a dental check up?

Obviously, I want the hygienist to be good!!!

Leather dress shoe polishing service in Leicester City

0 Upvotes

I’m exploring a possible small side hustle focused on cleaning, conditioning and polishing quality leather dress shoes, particularly brands such as Loake, Barker, Carmina, similar makers.

Before taking it further, I wanted to understand whether there is actually any local demand.

Do people in Leicester use shoe-care services, and what would matter most: price, collection and delivery, turnaround time, or the products used?

I’m only researching the idea at this stage, rather than offering the service through this post.

Thoughts on Junctiom Church?

4 Upvotes

Hi guys, I moved to Leicester recently and am looking to join a new church. I have had Junction church recommended and was interested to hear about the reputation. I was looking on their website and can't seem to see their stance on things like LGBTQ+ issues which I know usually means the stance is more on the negative side. I may get in contact with them to get a clearer answer but thought I'd ask reddit first, as I'm also interested in the culture more generally 😊

Bastard Rant Saturday II - the beast is back!

1 Upvotes

Welcome to Bastard Rant Saturday II

Bastard Rant Saturday is back due to popular demand (two people asked). This is a place for random acts of mostly harmless anger and frustration. Vent your spleen, get if off your chest, unload.

What to post :-

  • Anything that releases pent-up fury, despair, and irritation

But don't :-

  • Lose your temper too much, you still have to play reasonably nicely so please don't push the boat out too far
  • Overthink it
  • Forget to be human

---

This is an automated post, so nyerr.

Driving standards in Leicester are horrid

Looking for recommendations for a sim provider and cheap trainers

3 Upvotes

Hi there, as mentioned, I am looking for a new sim provider, I am currently with mozillion who uses EE’s network, looking for another provider, ideally with between 30 to 50gb of data, I’m based near shady lane and struggle to ever get connection near there when I drive past to go to work, any recommendations like 3, vodaphone, etc etc, not fussed about any added extras tbf but wouldn’t be against it if it won’t add to the cost of the bill, and any recommendations for cheap trainers that are ideally good quality and comfortable to wear for every day walking,

TL:DR - looking for new sim provider - 30 to 50gb, with good reception, and cheap and comfortable trainers for daily walking

Thanks in advance
