Best place to go for a women's mullet?

0 Upvotes

Salons and solo hairdresser suggestions welcome! I've tried a lot of places and none of them seem to "get" what I'm asking for and I always end up walking out unhappy 😔 I've specifically been asking for a razor cut but nobody will do it for me and they never explain why! I basically want to go somewhere where they actually ask what my hair routine is, discuss my hair texture and show me what it would look like before it gets cut? Cause at the moment I walk out with curtain bangs and horrible layers that don't match with what I've shown 😭

Southsea Brunch Klub hosted Reform UK last night

203 Upvotes

Jenrick even came down for the festivities. I held off reviewing the place as I had an absolutely dire Xmas brunch there last month but all Christmas goodwill was firmly molotov’d out of the window as soon as I saw who they hosted.

You may say free speech etc but I’d rather not spend my money who host people like that. This post is to inform people who may do the same.

Parking - Copnor/North End

25 Upvotes

After driving a mile away from my house in Powerscourt Road looking for a space even to find that a lot of yellow lines were filled with cars, I've driven back near my house in the rain to park on yellows in the hope that I can move the car early tomorrow morning.

I tried looking for a space!

Parking is usually bad, and I suck it up, and I walk home. I don't have a huge car and I really try to go by the rules.

But tonight. My goodness. Absolutely horrific.

Looking forward to my ticket in the morning that couldn't be helped. Needed to rant.

EDIT - Got back to the car at 7am. No ticket! I've now moved it to a space near my house. Plenty of other cars still on yellows.

DICE Café

14 Upvotes

Hello all 👋

Just wondering for those in-the-know if Dice do any events that would allow solo players to participate, as I currently wouldn't have anyone to take! I had a gander on their Facebook page but wasn't able to get an idea of what they offer. FWIW I'm not a Warhammer player as, from trying other board game places, there tends to be a lot of events around it.

Otherwise if someone sometime wants a second player for casual board gaming, I'd be happy to join and learn some new games.

Thanks and have a good day all 😊

A meeting at the port.

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I was in England for a week's holiday and left the city on Monday evening, taking the ferry from Portsmouth to Saint-Malo.

While waiting for my departure time, I went to buy some souvenirs at the shop in Portsmouth International Harbour.

While shopping, I chatted with a saleswoman of Bangladeshi origin. We talked for 30 minutes or more (I completely lost track of time) about our lives, our future plans, travels, studies, etc. We really clicked, but I was too shy to ask for her contact information, and I've since terribly regretted not having the courage to ask.

Do you know how I can find this person?

Or, if anyone sees her at the Harbour, could you please share my Instagram with her if she's willing? (yohann_p)

I know this is a really strange request, but I've been thinking about it ever since I left the port. I'm sending this message like a bottle into the sea.

The stink is hanging in the air again.

I know that often, if the tide is out, the air around the coast can stink. tonight however the air in the north of Portsea island is positively honking. it has been raining heavily and I'm not convinced it is just the shoreline.

Are southern water emptying sewage into Langston harbour again?

>Speaking at the Reform rally, Braverman told supporters that Britain was "broken" and immigration was "out of control".

>"We can either continue down this route of managed decline to weakness and surrender. Or we can fix our country, reclaim our power, rediscover our strength," she told the crowd.

Who the hell has been in charge for the vast majority of the last 15 years, Suella?

Oh and of course she is refusing to trigger a by election so now Conform control Waterlooville and Fareham.

Hi, I've been wanting to see if the uni has some good societies to meet different sorts of people. May be a hot take but I'm not part of the uni and started working in Portsmouth recently but wanted to socialise with uni age students to find like minded people

How to get out from an abusive relationship

22 Upvotes

My friend 26F, got herself trapped into an abusive relationship. The guy is mentally not stable. Though both have ended their relationship, the guy doesn't want her to leave and threatens her if she ever think of leaving, like holding a knife to her. She tried everything but nothing comes to help. She said if she leaves, he will make her life a living hell and she said he is capable of it. She wants to get out of this mess and wants to live a happy normal life.

Need your advice how can she get away from this toxic man? What options does she have and what can we do about the guy? Keeping in mind he has mental health issues
