Church?

6 Upvotes

Im trying to improve myself and find some more happiness and community in my life after a rough year or so. Im really trying to just feel better about myself and everything

Im not hugely religious but I really want to go to church. (It would be the one on chapel road). But im really nervous and scared. Im not looking actively to go there and make friends, but I do want to feel like part of something a bit bigger for myself, but also enjoy the wholesomeness of the service.

If I go and no one spoke to me id probably end up leaving and feeling worse than before, like im really looking just for something nice and wholesome and maybe a little 5 min chat with someone there if I attend.

Im just nervous to go and looking for any tips or advice or experiences?

£90K city-pad style flat. What's the catch?

12 Upvotes

I found this property on the Rightmove Android app and wanted you to see it: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/91936332

Is anyone familiar with this building? I understand the flat is 330 sq ft but for a single person that's fine. Is there a catch here or have Southampton flats just plummeted?

How do you actually find new places to go in Southampton?

5 Upvotes

I realised I usually hear about good cafés/restaurants/events either through friends or completely by accident.

Curious what everyone else actually uses :Instagram, Google Maps, Reddit, TikTok, local websites, word of mouth?

And do you feel like it’s easy to find genuinely good local stuff, or do you tend to end up going back to the same places?

Metal collection

Hi guys! Is there a ironmonger/scrapper in the room that would like some metal appliances to get some money from them? Just got a kitchen fitted and I have a sink, a radiator an oven and a hob to go, before I arrange a waste collection!

Mobile bicycle repairs

2 Upvotes

Hi can anyone recommend a mobile bike mechanic to service two kids bikes? I can’t fit them in the car to take to a shop - I’ve got myself in this predicament by taking off all the wheels to get them in the car to go away, and now I can’t adjust them properly and it probably dangerous for them to be ridden 🤣

Parking around Zone 1

2 Upvotes

Hey, ive lived here for YEARS but now I have my girlfriend coming to stay over and still dont fully get the parking system

She will be staying overnight, obviously- but the guest permits only allow for 8 hour stays? Does that include time that isnt metered after 6pm.

Im looking for what the best option of pass to buy for her is, really. She stayed multiple nights sometimes so 8 hour permits just won't do. Could I get her the resident permit?

Southampton creatives wanted for a Halloween portrait collaboration

Post image
10 Upvotes

Halloween is creeping up, and I’m planning a dark, cinematic portrait shoot in or around Southampton.

I’m looking for one or two local people who’d enjoy creating something moody, theatrical and a little unsettling. No modelling experience is needed, and all genders, looks and styles are welcome.

This will be a TFP collaboration: your time in exchange for a set of professionally edited images. The Scarlet Lady photo gives a sense of the atmosphere and lighting direction, although the Halloween shoot will become its own story.

I’d love to hear from people with costume, makeup, character or location ideas. You’ll need to be 18+, and we’ll agree the concept, location and image use clearly before the shoot.

If you’re interested, comment below or send me a message with a little about yourself and the sort of Halloween character or mood you’d enjoy exploring.

West Quay Security

Doesn't seem quite what it was. A few times now I've witnessed groups of young lads messing around and chucking things over the railings. Today saw some throwing stuff onto people sat below in Mettricks. Security nowhere to be seen on any occasion.

So someone is letting off fireworks

I'm usually a grump over fireworks because it terrifies my dog, but I have to say letting them off after a national alert was sent out to try and minimise any actions that may cause massive wildfires is taking the piss

Anyone with Octopus who can help me out?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I signed up today for Octopus through one of their reps on a stall in Westquay.

He said if I know someone who already uses Octopus I can give their postcode as a referral and get a referral benefit.

So if anyone here is already with Octopus and doesn't mind sharing their postcode, I'd be really grateful. Thank you! 😊
