CITY OF LONDON Why is the dating scene here rough?

0 Upvotes

I’ve moved from Seattle to London and man, the guys that like my dating profile and want to chat make no effort whatsoever. The number of men that post themselves on a random Tuesday in the bathroom mirror is staggering. They cant even be bothered to wash their face or comb their hair or have something to describe their likes/dislikes. Them thinking a photo is enough is depressing. In the States, handsome and communicative men will reach out to me. But it’s so different here. What am I doing wrong to attract people like this? I’ve seen very good looking men on the underground so I know you exist!

Does anyone know a reputable removals firm that can safely move musical equipment?

6 Upvotes

About 10 years ago I used a specialist firm of roadies to move my music gear and synths. They were properly insured and knew how to move sensitive/valuable equipment without damaging it. Unfortunately it looks like they went bust around pandemic time. Does anyone know of a similar firm based in London? I've tried searching and asking other musicians without any luck.

Does anyone know of a place in Central London where I can book a cheap room for rehearsals?

10 Upvotes

My friends and I need a room to rehearse. We literally just need a room, no equipment.

We usually get together once a week on a week day (the day varies according to availability) from 7pm - 10pm. We used to be able to get a room at Theatre Deli in London Bridge for just under £50 but it’s closing down.

Any suggestions?
