car trouble update 2

Thank you to the person who suggested the local garage just over the road , the old fella was very helpful and showed me it was potentially a lack of fuel issue too. only thing is now is that i still need a jumpstart now it’s been refuelled.

if anyone can provide a jumpstart and actually knows what to do i have a bit of cash i could give

thank you so much for the suggestions and feedback so far though!

Old photo of West Hoe fairground in 1908, hard to believe how different Plymouth looked

Just came across this brilliant old photo of West Hoe from over a century ago. It’s crazy seeing a massive helter-skelter and steam carousel packed onto the front right where the children’s play park and miniature railway are today. The waterfront layout looks so different, yet still somehow completely recognisable.

Found a key

Found a key at the bus stop opposite Tesco, Alexandra Road. Passed it into Tesco. Literally just a key with a blank ring. If you have lost it then I hope that this helps you!

Nice place to watch wc

Hi everyone, any good places in Plymouth to watch the World Cup? I watched all the Premier League matches alone at home, so this time I want to actually go out and enjoy. I don't have any friends here so I'm looking for somewhere with a good vibe for solo viewers too.

Tattoo Artist Offering Personal Symbolic pieces here in Plymouth

I’ve been working on a new concept over the past year and would love to share/ gather some feedback. I can message you a copy of some of the questions used to help generate the pieces.

Fithís- a symbolic grammar for internal states

Fithís is a body of work rooted in circular geometry, repetition, and the cycles we inherit through family, memory, and lived experience.

Each piece begins with conversation.
If you’d like to take part in this process - to locate something within yourself and translate it into form, I begin by asking a series of questions specific to you.

From there, I shape your responses into a personal glyph: a symbolic map made through my process.

Your story → my process → your glyph.

Retail workers, have you encountered 'that' customer?

I've been in and out of retail for absolute years now working in a few different shops and different companies but throughout the years and shops one person has been ever present and I'm genuinely curious if she's as known as I feel she might be.

She'll buy heaps of reduced things, pay seperately for each one and then as little as hours, even minutes later she'll try to get a refund on said items, bonus points if she continually tries to do this after closing time which is frequent and will refuse to leave if she doesn't get her way.

Every shop, from Mutley to Saltash she's been a known presence in, it surely can't just be me noticing 😅.

Stop the closure of Plymouth's only rope climbing wall

The council and Plymouth Active want to close down the Life Centre's climbing wall and replace it with a soft play area.

This would be a massive shame because we're on the doorstep of Dartmoor with this indoor climbing wall being the gateway into climbing for many (myself included).

Now it's an Olympics and soon to be Paralympic sport means it's something we should be celebrating having the facilities for and pushing for investment not closing it.

The fact they want to replace it with a soft play blows my mind when there're so many vacant properties in the city centre which a soft play would suit as it'd bring more people into the centre.

I've linked the petition that's been going around for anyone who's interested

International Student from Canada - Msc OT (Pre-Reg)

Hello everyone!

I’m from Canada considering to start my Masters degree at Plymouth for Occupational Therapy (Pre-Reg) this September 2026.

I would love to connect with current students to hear how the program is like! And how is life in Plymouth in general? Are there lots of international students there?

Life centre saying I haven’t attended sessions when I HAVE?!

I’ve recently joined the life centre and pay to have unlimited swims and classes/gym membership. I went to book a swim for tomorrow morning and I’m greeted with this :( I attended the spin and swim sessions, and scanned myself in with my card. What the hell am I meant to do now?! Has anyone else had this issue whilst being a paying member x
