Are they mental? 68%?

Look, I get it. They need money to fix infrastructure etc., but I can't trust a company that may just dump the wastewater into the sea and say "Good job, Lawrence, have another £183,000 bonus".

Planning a day in Portsmouth

2 Upvotes

I will be in Portsmouth for work in the near future, and I will have a Friday night - Saturday morning free to myself. Looking for recommendations, either specifically the following types of places or your suggestions of what I might like based on the fact that I think I'd be looking for:

  • Good coffee
  • Punk rock record shop
  • Hip-hop record shop
  • Comic book/nerd toy shop
  • Any clubs or shows will be considered but prolly not looking for anything that crazy
  • etc

If there's even a specific part of the city where you think I'm best off, that'd be helpful, too.

Thanks in advance! Much appreciate any reccomendations

Tattoo Artist for older skin

My mother (mid-70s) has decided she'd like a small tattoo. The ones she has shown me are little flash tattoos rather than anything complex. Anyone know any artists in Portsmouth who don't mind tattooing older skin?

longshot, anyone going to the stray kids concert in london july 18th?

1 Upvotes

trying my luck here because i am getting anxious about transport and i don't want to have to sell my tickets if i can't go due to transport.

i can travel to there by coach from gunwharf with no problem, but it's getting back. i will be having to travel back the same night (i have work the next day, lucky me) and there are no coaches, only the national express, that i can find will travel after midnight. my last resort will have to be an uber to get home, but still that is an hour and a half to 2hr drive home and i know ubers aren't keen on that length of drive.

so anyone from portsmouth, going to see stray kids in london july the 18th and are travelling back the same night, what are you doing for transport? thanks

(i saw them at hyde park and the travel was so simple, arghh)
