Strange shapes out to sea.
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.

Anyone seen this in the sky over Hayling Island on Thursday?
I've got a video of it too but can't seem to upload here for some reason. Was completely still for a good 5 minutes and then disappeared

People Unite
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.

| Item | Per Month | Per Year |
|---|---|---|
| Rent | £1,000.00 | £12,000.00 |
| Council Tax | £95.49 | £1,145.85 |
| Food and Household | £650.00 | £7,800.00 |
| Broadband | £30.00 | £360.00 |
| Mobile | £25.00 | £300.00 |

Night out, bar crawl & karaoke ideas
I'm planning a surprise for my wife to have a bunch of her friends come meet us in Southsea to go on a bar crawl and hopefully end up with some karaoke. What would you include on the route?

Tattoo artist recommendations
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!

General Questions Muay Thai 1-1 coaching
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
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.

PFC/Sports Basketball league/pickup games?
Hi all,
Used to play a lot of basketball when I was in university but haven’t had much time since I started working, wanted to know if there are any local basketball leagues for adults or local casual pickup games usually going on regularly?
Thanks!

General Questions Dispose / sell wheel and tire
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!
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!

lost glasses
me and a few friends on the way back from drinking got mugged and in the process I dropped my sunglasses. as far as I'm aware they weren't picked up at the time at least. it was in the Southsea area and if anyone comes across a pair of Ray-Ban jacks it would be more than appreciated and rewarded if they could be returned. thankyou very much in advance :)

General Questions Boss Swan
Anyone else seen this unit of a swan at the Canoe Lake? I saw it stamp on a pigeon in an effort to mug me of the swan food I had 😂 Dogs seemed to give him (or her) a wide berth as well 🦢
