SuperBacon Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I have skylights and had to fucking close them half way through the night because of the rain so the flat was roasting when I woke up. My two girls stayed asleep as well.  Was wicked to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenryck Pilchards Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I just grabbed a few bits from the local Tesco and as I was walking down the dairy aisle there was an old chap with a bit of a look of Dr Shipman with a basket of shopping. He reached up to the top shelf of the yoghurt shelf to grab some of those posh Danone's in a glass jar. He lost his grasp of the multipack and instinctively tried to catch his dropping produce into his shopping basket. But he had a bit too much force in his forward motion and whacked the shelf with a massive donk which was enough for the shelf to dislodge from the bracket. Cartons of pasteurized cow juice was scattered right across the aisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Had a lovely day down in Bournemouth and it’s surrounding towns with the ex and kids, ate a Franco Manca pizza, had some beers and threw stones into the sea for an hour with my 6yo. A bloody good day for once.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2019 Bournemouth is lovely. We stopped there for a few hours on the way home after spending a week in Poole during the Easter holidays. Obviously the beach is nice but the park is also worth visiting, the rock gardens are beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted July 28, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) A fight broke out in a Britannia cruise ship. I’m not surprised, look at the fucking state of this, a full on patriotic Brexit cruise. Hopefully it somehow ventures in to Somali, Iranian or Russian waters. https://mobile.twitter.com/richardgaisford/status/1155029988791468032  Edited July 28, 2019 by Kaz Hayashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we spent most of the day on Southbourne Beach, and around Christchurch as the idea is to actually move down there within the next 12-18 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you'll need to sell one of your kidneys to be able to afford Christchurch or Poole, the property prices are insane even compared to London IIRC.

SuperBacon Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 100% not moving to main town Bournemouth, as I just couldn’t deal with it, more a surrounding town and property prices are fine tbh. What I pay for a one bedroom flat in Weybridge, I could get a two bedroom house with a garden, but I understand what you’re saying. Every coastal towns has its absolute ragers who come out at sundown. Suppose it’s just about avoiding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Cod Eye Posted July 29, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2019 How do things change down there once the summer season ends? Only asking as I did 2 years on the Lincolnshire coast when I was a secondment at work, and once the season ends it become an almost completely desolate ghost town. Even most of the houses were empty during the winter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 29, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2019 There's a Uni nearby so I'd imagine it never gets quiet, except for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Bournemouth being a uni town means it is still relatively busy over the winter months. Even during the summer when the students fuck off, you get a ton of tourists. It isn't like many of the Devon coastal towns that die off from October to April.
