I swear I have seen people walking their massive flipping parrots in the wild at least 3 times this year.
One a red parrot walking around Burrator reservoir, once someone camped with their massive fucking blue parrot in what I can only describe as a camping cage at some other place in Dartmoor and today another red parrot in Plymbridge woods.

Is this just something people do around here??? Is this some sort of pirate legacy thing?
Wtf?

As the post says, im wondering about some cool cycling routs around Plymouth!

My bike is fixed wheel so they will have to be paved for now until i get a suspension bike!

The thistle park tavern will be showing the football tonight kicking off at 1am - we will be open until the game finishes 😊 it will be on the big TV come along! ❤️

I'm a 16 year old A-Levels student in Plymouth, UK who is currently studying Art, Graphic Design, and Performing Arts. Performing Arts/Drama has been one of my favorite subjects. I've taken every school year since I was in Year 8 and took it all the way into my Year 11 GCSEs. I got top marks in my GCSE performance and I've always been praised by my Drama teacher who I have had since Year 8.

Acting and Entertaining has been a deep passion of my as far as I could remember. I remember watching Andy's Dinosaur Adventures and Andy's Safari Adventures on TV when I was little and thinking "I want to be just like that." Zoology and animals has been a deep hyperfixation of mine since I could read. I adore animals and love teaching people around me all about them. I'd binge dozens of YouTube videos that would teach all of these amazing fun facts about our worlds beautiful animals.

I've always struggled with what I wanted to be when I'm older. Zoologist? Actor? Neither? Then it finally hit me. Children's entertainer. The person you'd hire to entertain kids at a party or event. I've also considered a YouTube channel too.

I want to finish school first of course and save up with a small job and I'll obviously keep my main job to make money in between gigs or events. But where would I even start? What advice does anyone have? I'd really appreciate anything.

I'll answer any questions anyone has too I don't mind any.

(I'm sorry if this isn't the right subreddit I'm struggling to find where to post this.)

I hope the security they've paid for does a good job to keep it the way it is. I felt like I was abroad down there it's absolutely lush. I feel lucky to live here. Can't believe it. Hats off to whoever organised all that.

... and yes there are loads of new trees.

Hi all. We’re a lesbian couple, almost 20 years together and finally ready to welcome a baby into our family ❤️

Has anyone here been through the IUI process and have experiences / feedback / advice please? We’re a bit nervous. We’re in our 30’s as well so worried about the chances.

I've seen plenty of pics and videos of what Armada Way is going to look like. I'm a big fan, it looks like something worth seeing.

I'm not going to bore myself with a debate over whether or not it's value for money - don't like it, move, simple as that.

The only concern I have is that we Brits are obviously not as culturally respectful of anything we have and so I wonder how long it will be before the inevitable vandalism, urine and soap powder becomes synonymous because of all the fkn classless, gormless pricks we have living down here.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but I wholly expect this very pleasant highlight of Plymouth to be ruined by Plymouth.

I’m relatively new to the game, even if it’s just for training I’ll be happy.

After doing some research and talking to people, I've noticed that there are quite a few fighting game people in Plymouth, but none are coordinated/active. (According to a friend of mine there used to be a pretty active scene in Plymouth about 10 years ago)

So this is my formal attempt to try and coordinate the FGC in Plymouth. Either to start our own local (I already have the necessary equipment to do this, would just need a venue and the people), or to visit a nearby local.

If you're a fighting game player in Plymouth and would be interested in starting a local/group (or just coordinating in some form), please let me know!

If you also know anyone that would be interested, please tell them! Even if we just got a few people, it would be enough to get something started.

(Just for clarity, I'm referring to traditional fighters here (like Tekken 8/Street Fighter 6). There already seems to be a pretty decent scene for Smash Bros./platform fighters here).

My partner and I are in Plymouth this weekend, we need to eat a low fat diet due to health reasons, does anyone know of anywhere that states fat content in their meals?

Hi all!

My name is Avery and I am currently booked with my boyfriend into a dual occupation tenancy with CRM Reservoir in Plymouth. We are trying to leave this tenancy as we have decided the room is not suitable for us but we need to find replacement tenants

It is a 3 minute walk to almost all lectures, close to the aldi, and is in an easily walkable location to the high street and train station.

The room is a 32.8sqm Large self contained studio with an oven and built in fridge-freezer with a large double bed, wardrobe, and built in desk. It has an extremely large wet room bathroom and is a corner room with a lot of natural light facing the reservoir with a possible sea view.

The price for dual occupancy is £305 p/w so £155 each p/w. The single occupancy price is £275 p/w which we know is unreasonable however any working students would be very at home in this room with their own space and kitchen but also perfect for couples if you get a second desk. It is on the second floor and is also accessible as the building has a lift.

If you know of anyone or think you would be interested, please comment on this post!

We are desperate as we are no longer able to afford it and it is not suitable with my conditions and have been unable to convince her to let us out of the tenancy through these reasons.

hello!

I’m a breastfeeding mother to a 1 year old and I’ve come down to Plymouth to visit MY mum for the weekend. in the rush of leaving the house I’ve forgotten my breast pump…and my son isn’t with me.

I wondered if anyone has a breast pump I can borrow or can point me in the direction of a WhatsApp group or something where I could borrow one.

many thanks

Hey everyone! I've received an offer to study BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing at Plymouth University as an international student from Kerala, India. Before I finalise my decision, I'd love honest feedback from current students or graduates on:

Quality of teaching and support for nursing students

How are the clinical placements organised?

Part-time job opportunities in Plymouth alongside studies

Living costs compared to other UK cities

Would you recommend Plymouth as a city for international students?

Also would love to hear from any Malayalis (Mallus!) already studying or living in Plymouth — would be great to connect!

Any insights appreciated, thanks💗

Can anyone recommend dealerships in Plymouth to look for a car please?

Hey,

Anyone know where the best free outdoor ping pong tables are located in Plymouth?

I know of a handful, bu most of them are either half-broken, slanted or too far away from me (Stoke), so I thought I'll just ask here to see what your favourite spots are?

My plans got cancelled and I have nothing to do lol
