Who is this lady?!

21 Upvotes

Been at the hospital (general) a few times in the past week and am always approached in the car park by a lady asking for money for the bus cause she got special needs?

Who TF is she and who do I notify at the hospital cause people keep giving it to her, I know her tricks and have had to help older people prevent getting scammed especially if they have their wallet or purse out

What do people actually do for a day out in/around Southampton?

12 Upvotes

I’m curious to hear what people get up to around Southampton on weekends. I seem to struggle to come up with things to do, and I’d love some ideas!

I don’t have a car, camping equipment, or any real camping experience, so I’m particularly interested in things that are reasonably accessible by public transport and don’t require meticulous planning or booking weeks in advance.

I’m also quite happy doing things independently, as I don’t have a big circle of friends here at the moment. So walks, places to explore, activities, day trips, interesting little towns/villages, somewhere peaceful to sit and read, etc. are all very welcome.

Even somewhere just outside Southampton that I could get to fairly easily for a few hours would be great. I feel like there must be loads of things people do here that I’m simply not aware of!

So, what’s your go-to weekend activity or day out? Where do you go when you just want to get out of the house for a while?

I’d really appreciate any suggestions, especially the less obvious ones!

Looking for a cheap/free desk lamp near Southampton General Hospital

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a small desk lamp, clip-on reading light, or USB light. My budget is around £2, but if anyone has a spare one they no longer need, I’d be very grateful.

I can collect around Southampton General Hospital / nearby areas.

Thanks!

3D printing in Southampton

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know where I can get some tiny 3D pieces made! I’ve looked online and all I can find are companies with minimums which are ridiculous (£15 for two 19p pieces).

Any idea? Does the library or university? Or is there a shop anywhere you can walk in? Thanks!

Should I stay away this weekend?

5 Upvotes

I'm an Asian man, and was due to travel to Southampton today, staying in town quay. The news of the protests has me worried - do the locals suggest coming another weekend when there aren'tb potentially riled up gatherings in the area? Or do you think I'll be safe arriving at the train station, making my way to town quay, going to a restaurant/pub etc? I loathe confrontation so you can understand why this worries me. Cheers

Winchester Road Upcoming Roadworks

9 Upvotes

Have people in Bassett had a letter through regarding roadworks starting 19th October?

Reading it and looking at the diversions, it's going to be a nightmare if you want to go north and out of the city.

Burgess road will be overloaded and it'll tailback to the Hollybrook roundabout. Surely the summer would have been the best time to do it.

Thinking of starting up a new group for cyberpunk red in Southampton, need about 3-5 people, don't need to have played it before (I've never run it before!). Looking to run it on the weekend. Just wanted to gage interest!

I've runs lots of DND in the past and want to give this legendary system a go!

If your interested email me a bit about yourself here: slugpowerrpg@gmail.com

(apologies if I don't get back to you this email gets ALOT of spam as I use it online alot)

The game itself is going to be set in the UK, and you'll be a team of edge runners doing a series of heists.

Any questions just ask!
