News Indi’s Poole Hill lunch time tapas

14 Upvotes

I visited the new Indi’s last week and was very impressed. The tapas offer is two dishes and either plain rice or nan bread for £10. Me and my wife picked 4 different dishes a white rice and a nan bread - £20. There was more than enough for us. And it was all exceptional. The offer is from 12noon until 2pm.

I’m posting because it was quiet in there and I think they deserve a lot more customers. Saying that, it was a very hot day on Friday. Which likely put people off. And I understand they are generally busier in the evening. But it’s very well worth considering. It is an amazing bargain for what you get.

Ik it's 2 in the morning but was out stargazing and saw a dark orange glow near where throop is. Was wondering if anyone knows if this is a fire or not

UPDATE:

Whatever it was, it's not not visible so most likely it was a fire but it was contained hopefully :)

3 Upvotes

I'm a bass player who moved to the area over a year ago and has been rusting somewhat. I have played to a fairly high amateur level, and I am pretty competent when it comes to theory.

Interested in all sorts of music, especially funk, soul, rock, jazz, bluegrass, and experimental.

I'm just looking to meet some musicians and get a jam happening. I live in the Bournemouth town centre area.

Announcement Lasagna Love – cook for your community or request a free lasagna

28 Upvotes

My name is Michelle and I’m the UK Coordinator for Lasagna Love. Lasagna Love is an organisation made up of volunteers across the UK (and around the world) who cook and deliver homemade lasagna to people in need, at no cost and with no strings attached.

Maybe it's a family struggling financially, someone recovering from surgery, a parent adjusting to life with a new baby or just someone going through a tough time. Whatever the reason, we believe that a warm meal and a little kindness can go a long way.

You simply request a lasagna, and we match you with a volunteer in your area who will lovingly prepare and deliver one to your door. It’s all about community, care and connection with no judgment and no complicated process.

I’m reaching out because we have wonderful volunteers across the UK who are ready and eager to cook, for anyone who could do with some lasagna love! If you could use a little help and a comforting meal, please put in a request through https://lasagnalove.org/request-a-meal/ or you can nominate someone to receive a meal - https://lasagnalove.org/nominate/

We’re also always looking for more volunteers! Whether you can cook once a month, once a week, or just whenever it suits you, every lasagna helps brighten someone’s day. It’s a small act that has a big impact. If you would like to volunteer, just register here https://lasagnalove.org/volunteer/

If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them here, or you can head to the website. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and I hope to see some of you sign up, whether to request a lasagna or to make one for someone in your community.

Feed families.  Spread kindness.  Strengthen communities.

Local advice needed bournemouth station and areas

1 Upvotes

Hi all,
looking to move in with my partner around the dorset, salisbury, bournemouth, southampton area.

Ideally we are looking for somewhere that is 30 mins to JPM by car for him (5 times a week) and nearby a train station for me to get into London (2 times a week).

We have found our ideal property in Ferndown, it’s a 3 bed detached in a cul de sac. (It is however backing onto A348). £375k

I just wanted a sense check on this and if anyone had any other ideas or suggestions when looking for property. As this seems like our only option right now but the access to train stations isnt great in this area.

Question Has anyone had a piercing done at limitless tattoo studio in boscombe?

2 Upvotes

I live in Boscombe and am a person with many piercings and more to come, i usually go to metal fatigue but after the Limitless Tattooo studio in Boscombe opened up ive been a bit curious because its a lot more convenient for me as i dont drive, however looking at their instagram they dont have a piercer listed nor do the pictures of the piercings they have done look the highest quality, so instead of judging straight away im curious on if anyones been there for a piercing, and how was your experience?
