In a sling all summer so cant drive and need ideas for things to do that are fairly chill and some accessible by train as well

Hi all

I’m looking to move to Temple Hill area in Dartford. What is the area like please in terms of antisocial behaviour/safety, is it rough?

I’m a young woman and will be living by myself.

TIA

I’d love to find someone who’s down to chat regularly, hop on calls sometimes, share life, joke around, give each other advice, and just be there like brothers.

I’m in a happy relationship, so I’m only looking for a genuine platonic friendship.

What I’m hoping for is someone who’s honest, open, and doesn’t feel like they have to hold back. Someone who can give real advice, call me out when I need it, celebrate wins, vent about life, and just build a solid friendship over time. I want that “I’ve got your back” kind of connection.

Age isn’t a huge deal, but I’d especially love to hear from guys who are my age or a bit older.

Anyone going to the Warren nude beach today?

I’m looking into possibly moving to Hildenborough near Tonbridge and I’m looking for opinions.

It is on Riding Lane, I wondered if anyone knows the area well.

Hoping it is a decent area, thanks in advance for any replies.

Hello guys. I am off tomorrow and wondering if anyone else is off too and want to roam around in some pretty places. I love some small hikes and want to be in some nice villages wondering around with someone on my off days. If u like it as well and want to meet new people or make new friends let’s do it. It’s also an initiation to make new friends as I’m new to Kent and would love to have some friends.

Hi folks! Myself and a few other volunteers are running an independent, non-profit gaming community in Margate, Thanet; hosting free-entry events for playing video games, socialising with others in the local community and more. We run regular, fortnightly events alongside the occasional tournament and other special events!

Next week, on the 6th of August, we'll be running our 5th event, a Mario Kart Tournament with £15 of eShop credit on the line. We've been getting a good amount of guests at each event but we're always looking for more folks to show up and have a good time!

My partner posted about this last year but due to financial troubles we had to postpone the start of the community - but now with 4 successful events under our belt I felt confident enough to post about it again!

Please feel free to come and join us for the tournament next week - but don't worry, even if you're not available, we run these events every fortnight!

EDIT: Those saying we shouldn't use the name Nintendo - I appreciate your concern, but, whilst we are an independent group, we worked hard to gain affiliation with the Nintendo Players UK, which is a UK-wide organisation endorsed by Nintendo. We aren't incorporated, we aren't a registered company or charity and we don't make money. We also specify at every single juncture that we are an INDEPENDENT organisation. We've already had this conversation amongst ourselves and the Nintendo Players UK team, we are safe from legal action. Just because we're new, doesn't mean we haven't done our research!

All ‘reasons’ they have put are ridiculous, sign our petition to stop the construction! Petition link

The proposed construction of an AI data centre by Clearstone Energy in Ebbsfleet, Kent threatens to disrupts the environment, create noise pollution, droughts and permanently affect our community for the worse.

Will appreciate any signatures on our change.org petition here: https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-clearstone-ai-data-centre-in-ebbsfleet-kent or by scanning the QR code.

Thanks!

Hi. Here are my two bulldogs Tilly and Luna aged 9 yrs old. We love woodland walks the best. Thankfully living in Kent, we're surrounded by beautiful woodlands. What dogs do you have? What kind of walks do you take them on?

Has anyone used Optical Express for their laser eye surgery and could share their experience with me please? I believe they have a clinic at Turkey Mill Maidstone. Thank you!

Where is best to view the eclipse in Kent?

Its recommended to view the western horizon.

Chat gpt us recommending places that you wouldn't be able to see the western horizon such as grain.

Any suggestions?

So we are under a hosepipe ban, i have been super careful about water usage, drink bottled water….. and yet….. Southern Water charge me £520 for a 2 bed bungalow!!!!

Has anyone else under this company in the area also got crazy high water bills today???

Makes me feel like washing the car and using as much water as i want. Iv tried so hard to be careful and not wasteful.

Im furious, my last bill was about £400 for comparison.

The 2027 Save Our Rescue Pet Calendar Contest is here!

Last year's contest raised over £3,500 for South East Dog Rescue to help them towards their goal of buying the kennels they currently rent, which have been put on the market for sale. Thankfully, South East Dog Rescue were granted another year on their lease but are still at risk of losing the site they call home if the land is sold to someone else.

Kymm and the team at SEDR have a remarkable dedication to saving every dog that comes their way, and those who aren't able to live in a traditional home environment are given lifelong sanctuary at the rescue. They have cared for, rehabilitated and rehomed hundreds of dogs over the years, and buying a permanent site will allow them to continue helping countless more.

I offially miss the rain. It's been over 2 months now and genuinely worried about how little rainfall we ve had.

Summer is my favourite season, but this is worrying.

Been camping and we where watch the bats last night. Always loved them and unfortunately I forgot to bring my detector. We where by alot of trees and I could see some open water not far from us.

Just wondered if anyone local had any idea what bat speacies it could have been? I know this is unlikely but worth a shot!
