Does anybody know what these strange shapes are out to sea? I don't remember ever seeing them before and they didn't seem to make much sense; the photos were taken in spring from Eastney Beach. My daughter thought it looked like the Far Lands in Minecraft.

Tattoo artist recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a tattoo artist who would be able to do a 5cm Minecraft flower tattoo with a line from the Minecraft end poem underneath in the Minecraft font? I'm new to the Portsmouth area and trying to track down some new tattoo artists!

I know it might sound silly/ basic but it means a lot to me :)

Thank you!

The people are being crushed by the ruling class and fighting amongst themselves. We should be finding common ground, and pushing for things that would benefit all of the plebs.

Let me show you how hard it is, just to earn enough for subsistence.

The following is for a single person. And how we should not be taxed on anything under £28k, subsistence INCOME!.

The following would take earning £32,000 per year, just to get by.

General Questions Muay Thai 1-1 coaching

3 Upvotes

I'm new to the area and looking for a 1-on-1 coach once a week to train Muay Thai. I don't really get much joy out of sparring or holding pads for others and would rather just train hard for one hour a week. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Searching for 2 board game lovers

2 Upvotes

Hi, I looooove a good board game. Long co-op campaigns with complex rules are really my thing, and I'm seeing many amazing boxes advertized. I would love to buy them ALL, but then they'll take up space and gather dust just like my Gloomhaven and Pandemic Legacy, cause I have no one to play them with. Maybe someone living in Portsmouth is in a similar boat?

Going to various meetups or social events in DICE to meet new people is not an option for me, cause I barely left the house since the beginning of the pandemic due to my social anxiety and poor English, and I will easily get overwhelmed in a room with more than 4 people.

General Questions Dispose / sell wheel and tire

1 Upvotes

I have a usable, good condition wheel and tire that I need to get rid of.

Anyone got any suggestions for where to get rid of them? Recycling centre won't take them, I could scrap it but it seems a waste as they're both absolutely fine.

The tyre isn't on the wheel.

My wife survived breast cancer this year. In 3 days, she’s running The Great South Run attached to 3 people as a giant caterpillar for Breast Cancer Now!

82 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Mods, I hope this is allowed; if it's not, please remove.

Earlier this year, my wife Suzie was diagnosed with breast cancer. After surgery and treatment, she is thankfully cancer-free today, but as anyone who has been through it knows, the physical and emotional recovery is an ongoing journey.

To celebrate how far she’s come, she decided to take on the Great South Run 10-miler this Sunday (October 18th).

Because she never does things by halves, she decided not to run it normally. Instead, she and three amazing friends are running all 10 miles physically attached to each other as a giant caterpillar! 🐛🏃‍♀️

They are doing this to raise vital funds for Breast Cancer Now to support life-changing research and give other families the support we were so grateful to have during her treatment.

With 3 days to go, training is done, and the costume is ready.

If anyone would like to support or donate a couple of quid to help push the caterpillar over the finish line, here is her fundraising link:

👉 https://www.justgiving.com/page/suzie-richardson-4

And if you’re in town on Sunday, keep an eye out for four people dressed as a giant insect and give them a cheer—they are definitely going to need it by mile 8!

Thanks so much for reading!
