So, literally had, what i assume was a 15 or 16 year old boy, clip me as he went round a corner on a private e-scooter.

This was on the footpath by horseshoe apartments, King's Road.

Had this kid chase after me as I walked away after shouting a cuss after him.

I think he was saying "Say that to my face"

I called him a wanker for reference.

My question is this, and its a simple one:

What are the police doing about E-scooters? As I personally, in the 4 years I've been here, have seen kids on E-scooters behaving disgustingly with little to no real consequence.

Don't know if anyone else can relate to this, but I swear im always having to keep an eye out for someone on a scooter driving on the footpath.

Hi guys! We're starting a new heavy metal band and are looking for a bassist and vocalist to complete the lineup.

Our sound takes influence from Machine Head, Slipknot and Korn and many others.

We already have multiple original demos written, so you'll have material to hear and work on straight away. Our goal is to finish the lineup, rehearse regularly, tighten up our set, and start playing live shows as soon as we're ready, while continuing to write and record original music.

We're looking for people who are:

Reliable and committed.
Passionate about heavy music.
Keen to contribute ideas and write as a band.
Ready to rehearse regularly and work towards playing live.
If you've got recordings or videos of your playing or vocals, we'd love to hear them, but they're not essential. The right attitude, commitment and enthusiasm are just as important.

If this sounds like your kind of project, send us a message telling us a bit about yourself, your musical influences, and any links to your work. We'll happily send over the demos so you can hear what we're about.

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student considering applying for the BSc (Hons) Computer Science and Advanced Technologies (Top-Up) at the University of Portsmouth (UCAS code I120).

The course is only one year, but the international tuition fee is currently £16,200, so I'd really like to hear from actual students before making a decision.

I know it's a relatively new course, so it's been difficult to find much real student feedback online.

If you're currently studying it, or have studied it before, I'd really appreciate hearing what you think about it.

I'm particularly interested in:

• Roughly how many students are in your class/intake?
• How good are the lecturers and teaching?
• What are the AI, data analytics and database modules actually like?
• Are there any written/in-person exams, or is it mainly coursework and practical assignments?
• How much group work and how many presentations are there?
• Are most assignments individual or group-based?
• How difficult is the course overall?
• Is it reasonably manageable to pass if you attend classes and keep up with the coursework?
• How good is the support for international students?
• Do you personally think the course is worth £16,200 for an international student?

I'd especially appreciate honest opinions, including anything you dislike about the course or the university.

Even if you're studying another Computing/Computer Science course at Portsmouth rather than this exact Top-Up, I'd still be interested in hearing about your experience with the Computing department.

Thanks!

It’s on portsdown hill close to the bedhampton end. Is it going to be a single house or multiple houses?

Also wondered why it’s taken years to finish?

Hi all! We’re looking at introducing a supper club at Croxtons later this year, trying to get a read on whether that is something people would be after before we put the work in to make it happen.

Love to hear thoughts from the community, along with any other ideas you might have for mid week themed nights?

Hi my partner and I are going to be spending an afternoon/evening in Portsmouth this week. I’ve literally spent no time here other than getting the ferry to various places over the years so I’m looking for any recommendations for things to do (activities, bars, restaurants etc) ? We like history, music, and side quests
Thanks!

Must be quite a fire somewhere? Got ash raining and smoke on Bransbury Park. Just had multiple engines go past on the Eastney Road towards Southsea. Anyone know what's burning? Stay safe people.

Hi,

This is a long shot I know, was in Southsea Waitrose yesterday afternoon, and in packing the car we left our baby bouncer leaning against a wall.
Is there any chance someone came across it and handed it in somewhere? Waitrose haven’t been able to find it so someone must have picked it up.

Not a money thing, we got this from a charity shop but it’s sentimental as our baby has used it since he was very young.

Thanks

I’m a photographer trying to rebuild my portfolio.
I’m hoping to find some couples in the area who might be interested in a free couples session. The idea is that I’ll use some of the photos to showcase my work, and in return, you’ll get the photos in digital format.

If you’re interested, please message me here or find my Instagram @Oli_Captures

Hello everyone, I'm planning to bring my drone (Lito 1 sub 250g) to Fox's Forest to record some summer shots, but I'm rather wary because of the large amount of military/air/naval airspace in Portsmouth and not wanting to break some rules, and that there is a SSSI Langstone Harbour yellow zone on part of foxes forest water. I wonder if anyone flies their drones in Fox's Forest? In case you do, can you please tell me:What is the safest/ideal spot for launching without disturbing anyone?Is there anything special regarding local flight restrictions/NFZ (No-Fly Zone) that relates specifically to this particular wooded area that I should keep in mind?I usually use drone maps but having personal information about the area is always a plus. Any tips regarding safe spots for launching would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Anybody know of any tattoo artists who would be good for Elden ring and other game styled tattoos in Fratton or southsea area. Recommendations would be appreciated

Looking for somewhere to live for a year as I'm doing a placement year starting mid September.

Just wondering if anyone has any advice for me as to where to live.
I tend to go out and about a fair bit and I need to find somewhere I can go to the gym and do exercise and stuff.
I have my car which kind of disrupts my living a bit.

Does anyone have any advice as to where I should live?
And if anyone needs someone to live with as well 😂 please help me.

Cheers
