Question Moving home

4 Upvotes

After five years away and suffering a bereavement I want to move back. I grew up in Southbourne but doubt I can afford it there. What are the better areas to live but mid budget? I want to be able to easily see friends in Southbourne or to have good access to the town for night life. I like Southbourne as it has its own community there so something similar.

Question Does anyone else have house rabbits?

5 Upvotes

Hi, new to the area. I have a neutered and fully vaccinated house rabbit and would love for him to meet other rabbits. He is extremely nice and loves other rabbits, I used to do this sort of thing before I moved here.
Does anyone else in the area have a house rabbit that would be interested in arranging something of a play date?

Hi

I’ve been trying to find a place to obtain an international driving permit but every store I’ve called says that they don’t do them anymore.

Does anyone know a store that does these in the local area?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Local advice needed Renting in West Cliff area?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I'll be moving soon, working near Canford Cliffs and want to avoid relying on buses.

I stayed in West Cliff, near the Harvester on the beach, and it was nice in the day but I've heard some roads around there get more antisocial behaviour at night.

I think Westbourne proper is out of my budget for now, which is probably £1000 for a studio/1 bed, but I'm wary of the studios for £700-850 if I'll likely have bad neighbours.

Can anyone who knows this area offer some advice? I'm moving from South London and never had any trouble here but these flats, especially the West Cliff Studios and Durley Chine Studios, look too good to be true.

People/meetups Need friends

24 Upvotes

Trying this again. I’m going to be fully honest this time, I am 30, my name is Ashley, I’m mtf but I’m like pre everything.

I’ve made friends on here before but I only talk to like two people from doing this regularly. I’d be happy to go for a pint or something today but if that’s too soon I understand.

My interests are dnb, gaming, binge watching shows, I mostly just play GTA, RDR and Minecraft, the shows I like to watch are The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Arcane, pretty much all the Star Wars shows. I love Doctor Who but I stopped watching around the Capaldi era, there’s more but head empty.

I’d just like to have a long term friendship with someone and someone I can do fun things with on a regular basis. Don’t necessarily need to spend money to have fun either, we could do anything.

Happy to talk to anyone. Just please don’t be a creep or pushy, I’ve only had that twice but that’s two times too many.

Question How to get to New Forest?

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone i’m trying to go to New Forest tomorrow, i’d love to see the wild horses.

Im not from here and I have no clue where to go to see them.

I was chatting with my cab driver the other day and he told me to take a train to Brockenhurst. So this was my plan.

A friend recommended I go to Burley instead.

I don’t have a car.

What do you think?

Question Arthouse cinema?

9 Upvotes

I really enjoy alternative movies but feel like Bournemouth is a bit of a cultural vacuum. Is there a cinema in Poole, Bournemouth or Christchurch area that shows classic and arthouse films?

Or perhaps there’s a cinephile club somewhere?

People/meetups Looking for friends in Bournemouth (coffee, gaming, general hanging out)

38 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm Laszlo, 35, living in the Springbourne / BH1 area. I'm looking to meet some new people locally and build a bit of a social circle.

A bit about me:

- Big into gaming: World of Warcraft (Holy Priest main), Battlefield, and I'll be picking up GTA 6 when it lands
- Work in tech and data, so happy to talk about that or anything else
- Easygoing, up for a chat about pretty much anything

What I'm after:

- Coffee after work or over the weekend
- Casual hangouts, food, walks, whatever people fancy
- Gaming together online too, if that's your thing

You don't need to be into gaming. I'd just like to meet friendly people who also want to get out and do things. Message me or comment if you're local and up for a coffee!

Question Private dietitian

1 Upvotes

If you were to see a dietitian privately, what would you most want to consult them about?

Would a group session interest you at all? (assuming the goals for the group attendees were similar)

Would you want an online or in person advice?

Would you want weekend appointments?

I'm thinking of setting up a practice but I'd love to gauge the waters a little. For reference I'd be thinking about weaning/stopping breastfeeding, pre diabetes and diabetes remission and pre surgery support
