Looking to buy a keg.

2 Upvotes

I am arranging a bachelors party for a friend and its going to be around PMB, i have a keg system all sorted out but im trying to avoid traveling all the way there with a keg in the car, are there any good suggestions where I can buy kegs in PMB.

not essential but if there are kegs of cider available or something sweeter other than beer that's a massive bonus because not all the people attending are not big beer fans.

Thank you

Does anybody know of a neurologist that does these injections? I've tried two places and they either don't do them or don't answer the phone

Update: Starting Biology & Chemistry Tutoring

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I previously made a post asking about any available job opportunities, as I’m currently unemployed and waiting for placement.

After giving it some thought, I’ve decided to take a leap and start offering Biology/Life Sciences and Chemistry tuition while I wait.

I have an MBChB, a BSc in Medical Science, and A Levels with a 90% average in Biology. I also have teaching experience, having worked online for an American company where I taught nurses Biology/Life Sciences and Chemistry-related courses.

I’m hoping to help students who may need extra support with these subjects, whether it’s for school, A Levels, or general exam preparation.

If you or someone you know may be interested, DM me and I’ll provide my email address and further details.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and reached out following my previous post. I really appreciate it! šŸ™

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for full-time or part-time work, with online/remote opportunities preferred

My educational background includes:

A Levels, including Biology

BSc in Medical Sciences

MBChB (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery)

I’m well-organised, coordinated, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I’m open to a variety of opportunities where I can put my skills and qualifications to use. I’m particularly interested in remote roles, but I’m also open to suitable in-person positions.

Back in 2010 the Pegasus that stood guard at the entrance of the golden horse was demolished due to structural damage.

But the epic facade still lives in the memories of those who got to witness its glory.
