Bit of a long shot, but are there any women around Newcastle/Hunter who play League of Legends?
30/f/newy here, and mostly play Ranked, and I’d love to find a regular group to queue with. I was thinking it could be fun to start a Discord where we can jump in voice, stream our games to each other, have a few drinks on a Friday or Saturday night (irl or VC), and just enjoy League without typical toxic groups. Thinking of hosting a cocktail and league type event every month.
If there’s already a group like this I’d love an invite, otherwise send me a message or comment if you’d be keen to join. It’d be nice to make some local League friends!

Hello good people of Newcastle. I hope this chilly Friday night is treating you well.

I have a question on behalf of my kid. Who recently bought himself a honking great CRT tv from circa 1897. Or 2002. I forget which. Anyway. It was against my most vehement and heartfelt advice. On account of them being extremely old, heavy, the size of a small planet and sadly prone to being pretty shit. However. My child is an intrepid gamer and no stranger to flinging good money into the abyss. And that’s why we have a Panasonic monolith taking up valuable real estate in our home right now.

As predicted, it’s a bit shit and is in the process of becoming more shit. It’s going dark and making both Mario Bros very sad. Is it the fly back transformer? Failing capacitors? I don’t know what either of those are but google said it might be.

Does anyone else who makes poor home AV choices have a line on any repairers in the area? Or know an old timer who repairs shit in his garage? As fun as it is saying “I told you so” in a variety of creative ways, I feel pretty bad for my kid and would love to find someone who can fix this beast.

Thanks in advance!

Curious what people think of the george on darby and the renovation/refurb and change of use from a nightclub to a pub/sports bar.

Is it good? Pros/Cons/Feedback?

I know it's been there a while but I've never seen it posted here before.

This is south bound on the Pacific Highway just after Bunnings as you go up the hill towards Belmont.

Is there a festival going on by Bar Beach? Can hear it going off from Cooks Hill but can't find what it would be online.

Is there anywhere around Newcastle or lake Mac that sell Guinea pigs?

Any recommendations for a builder who could add a small ensuite in a small villa? In the Beresfield area.

Global engineering and construction firm Bechtel has been announced as the delivery partner for the development phase of the project to deliver high-speed rail between Newcastle and Sydney.  

Over the next two years, Bechtel will help to progress planning, design, procurement, and delivery readiness activities before construction starts

The Newcastle Herald has the story but I went and grabbed a non paywalled article that has some of the details.

Football Australia are investigating an unnamed Charlestown Azzuri player after he was alleged to have placed a bet on a Charlestown Azzuri match against Belmont Swansea in round 17 on June 27th, Belmont Swansea won the match 3-1.

Charlestown Azzuri didn't comment other to say they were aware of the Football Australia probe.

The $381 million Muswellbrook Bypass is powering forward with early work well underway and a refined design to deliver safer journeys, faster freight movements and better outcomes for the local community.

My partner is a mature aged electrical apprentice (m42) with 6 months left of study before becoming qualified. Looking to see if anyone knows of any recommendations or advice around finding work for him. We’ve recently bought a house and would like to start a family and want to find something long term for him. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers.

The stickers handed out at school, yearly visit from mr plod to golden wash community safety. The amount of loud bangs, grubs, break ins on this sub I’m beginning to believe we were misled.

Hello all, genuinely curious why is there so many car accidents happening across Newcastle lately, especially considering our population is much smaller and we have fewer drivers compared with Sydney.

What’s interesting is that cars today are safer than they have ever been. With features like automatic emergency braking, lane assistance, improved crash protection, and the growing number of modern electric vehicles with advanced safety technology, you would expect the number of crashes to be decreasing. However, we still seem to be seeing a lot of non-fatal collisions, especially rear-end crashes during peak-hour traffic.

Something else I’ve noticed is how often crash reports appear on apps like Waze and Google Maps, sometimes showing multiple incidents across different parts of Newcastle during the same day. It makes you wonder what factors are contributing to this ongoing pattern and whether these crashes are becoming more common or if we are simply noticing them more because of better reporting and navigation technology.

So what’s really causing all these crashes? Why do we still see so many accidents during peak-hour traffic, even though cars are safer than ever and packed with technology designed to help prevent them?

It would be interesting to understand what factors are behind this pattern and whether there are ways to reduce these crashes and make Newcastle’s roads safer for everyone.

Anyone know what it is? Is something on fire again?

Anywhere in Newy showing England v Argentina semi final tomorrow morning?

Have any thoughts on this?
