Just a heads up to everyone in the Bevios Hill/Lodge Road/ Spear Road.

At around 5:30am today, a group of three people were walking up and down the roads trying car door handles to see if any vehicles were unlocked. They were quite loud while attempting each handle, which is what alerted me.

I shouted out of the window, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. In fact I heard one of the women who was part of the group say “ I just need an hour of sleep”….

Please make sure you lock your cars overnight and don’t leave any valuables inside. It might also be worth checking any doorbell or CCTV footage if you live in the area.

Hi, I’m wondering if someone lost their glute recently? I found it and I believe it’s quite expensive I looked inside the pockets to see any way to contact the owner but there were none. If you’ve lost it please send me a message!

Wondering if there are any martial or fitness classes or groups that are friendly/welcoming/safe for trans/genderqueer people and beginners? Not gyms though - somewhere with structure/guidance to start a fitness journey. Or any social groups around this/buddies?

Asking for a friend because not being trans I’m coming up empty on specific recs!

DM me if preferred, thanks all!

My barber—a Kurdish refugee,—told me he’d arrived in Britain only a few years earlier after seeking asylum. Yet somehow he now drove a Mercedes, opened a mini mart with his mates who is open till 2 am and had no hesitation about flying back to his hometown for holidays, and even proudly showed me photographs from his latest trip.
I couldn’t help wondering: if the place you supposedly fled is safe enough for summer holidays, was it ever unsafe in the first place?

A system that isn’t seen to distinguish between genuine refugees and opportunists ultimately fails everyone—including those who truly need asylum.

Currently on the waitlist for NHS talking therapies. I have anxiety and depression and really looking to connect with people who have experienced the same.

I'm not looking for emergency services like samaritans/ shout. I am 30F so can't use places like no limit and a lot of other services are for under 25s only. I have not had any issues with abuse so can't use charities like yellowdoor.

I've tried the lighthouse centre and tbh didn't enjoy the experience (felt very judged).

I contacted solentmind and the only place they seem to have available is peer support at the mayfield garden centre which is a bit far from me.

Bit of a weird one… 😅
I’m moving into Parker House soon, and I’ve somehow become emotionally attached to my giant fridge. Before I discover the hard way that it’s bigger than the lift, does anyone know what model of KONE elevator is in the building?
If anyone lives in Parker House (or nearby) and happens to be passing the lift, would you mind snapping a quick photo of the little KONE model/rating plate inside the lift? You’d be saving me from an awkward “fridge vs. elevator” showdown on moving day.
Cheers! 🍻

Apparently they’re renovating the whole halls complex there and will be permanently shut from 17th July.

I’m looking for a new gym that has a similar ‘chill’ vibe and is not too expensive.

Considering going to Village Gym Eastleigh or The Quays because it would be nice to have pool access, but I heard the new management at the Quays haven’t improved much, happy to hear otherwise though.

Is the Village Gym ‘chill’?

Any other Southampton gyms that are laid-back but don’t necessarily have a pool?

After OD Shirley shut, me and my mates miss this beer

Anyone seen it about?

Do any of the supermarkets do hot pizza to takeaway in the early evening?

Thanks ☺️

Some brief description or key points as to why it is overrated would also be appreciated. Thank you

Does anyone know of some nice open grassland I can go to relax in?

i.e. short grass you can sit on but somewhere really isolated?

Bit like the common but without people around.

Happy to drive. New Forest is my first thought but can go elsewhere.
