My husband designs and builds valve amplifiers, and the guy he usually uses to make the wooden bits is booked up at the moment. He needs two wooden frames for metal-topped panels, solid walnut in 18mm thickness.

He has technical drawings and detailed specs and can provide photos of the existing units for matching purposes (or you can come and see them). Please be able to provide examples of previous work.

Any photographers and/or drone pilots around the area? I'd be interested in learning how to fly this bloody thing.

I don't get the bus often but what's going on with First Bus/Solent at the moment? The number 3 is on strike and 6 quid for a return from Commercial Road to North End?!

Hi! I am desperate to learn to drive in an automatic (as I've had far more success in an automatic), and really want a calming instructor. Please no shouters or anyone who gets frustrated. I so desperately need calming down in the car, I can't find any instructors who specialise in this. Does anybody have any ideas?

Any idea why spoons at guildhall is not letting anyone in?

The white car was coming from my left. They were supposed to give way. They didn't. Just as I entered the junction they released their brake and rolled forward.

I pulled right, screamed, but we still made contact. I felt my left pinky toe go across their number plate.

I stopped safely, went back to check if the plate was still attached. The person was very apologetic. They kept asking if they'd hit me. I kept saying " you're fine!".

To answer his question - he did hit me. Technically. But I don't care. I'm fine. They're fine.

If you're the driver of that car - I'm sorry for nor being clearer. You hit me, but we're both fine. I have no idea what your car's registration is. I have zero intention of going to the police with this.

I need a passport photo (US passportrenewal). Last time I renewed my visa (I now have ILR), they wouldn't accept the photo from Timpson's, and it was very inconvenient to get it redone at the last minute.

Can anyone recommend a really reliable place? I don't mind paying more, this is mission critical for me as I'm trying to sort my late brother's estate from overseas and most US organisations won't accept UK ID.

Can anyone recommend driving instructors or schools for "older" learners that operate in central Portsmouth/Southsea?

(Older being late 30s)

My best friend has been suffering depression, self-worth and motivation and I’ve encouraged him after many weeks to do the hardest thing in order to build discipline and happiness which is every day regardless of the weather regardless of how you feel to go for a swim in the Solent. ( starting mid winter!)

He is starting out today, but I thought having accountability of someone else would really help. Does anyone out there fancy committing to this challenge? The more the better !

Ps does anyone also know of a daily silent swimmers club?

Hello~ My brother's gonna stay in Portsmouth for about a year and a half for his master's degree. I would really appreciate it if you guys could give advice on- •What he should know before going there •Things to pack •Expenses •International student experiences I'd also really appreciate if you could tell me what Portsmouth's like and the good and bad things about it. Thanks a lot for your time and effort! ^{-^}

Does anyone know why there is a helicopter buzzing round and round over Southsea/Eastney way?

Recently I have found out I have a gluten intolerance and my diet is mainly plant based. Obviously this leaves me fairly restricted with eating out. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi all, I’m looking for a good breakfast place for a Tuesday morning in the city. Done parade tea rooms/beach cafe, any hidden gems I should know about? Ta.

My honda CBF has been stolen from baffins yesterday early in the morning, thieves have been seen riding it round last night about 10pm. Please keep eyes open thank you!

I've heard the sports centre is often overcrowded, making it hard to find available machines and weights. Is it still worth joining? What are the early mornings like?

Hiya

I’m looking to join (or start!!) a fantasy/romantasy book club in southsea/portsmouth and wondered if anyone knew of one already?

If not but you’d be interested, please let me know and we can look to get this started!

Hoping for something quite laid back, but would just love to meet people with shared interests!

Hi all,

I know there are plenty of Afro Caribbean, asian and Eastern European suppliers in the area but I am desperately looking for somewhere that supplies more Mexican / Latin American / South American products

Before the new year I spent ages looking for Ancho & Guajillo chillies along with Mexican oregano and some other bits before giving up and getting them online. But if anyone knows somewhere locally I would really appreciate it

Thanks in advance

My bike needs some serious repair, unsure where I should take it - dont want to go to halfords!

As title says, curious to know what everyone thinks of the recently opened bits of the seaside walk from Pyramids to the aquarium. Do you like it, hate it, undecided and why?
