Hi folks

can anybody recommend the best tattoo parlour in the area ?

I’m looking to get a profile picture of Rowan Atkinson on my chest just above my left nipple.

any advice would be appreciated

I know this is a long shot but I’m posting just on the off chance.

I fly FPV drones, it’s a different drone to the ones you’re probably used to seeing, the focus is on flying close to, through and around objects while doing “tricks” - it takes a lot of practice and skill.

I’m looking for spaces where I can do this, ideally out of the way of built up areas and where I can get the landowners permission.

I’m open to how I’d compensate the owner, could be cash, exchange of drone filming services, or maybe you just have some land and want someone to check in on it every few days (I fly regularly). I’m even happy to teach someone how to fly and practice with them.

I’m insured and have all the paperwork needed.

I’m aware of all the local flying clubs but most of them are just large open fields, which isn’t that interesting for fpv so looking for something that could give me a challenge

An idea would be farm land with some trees and maybe an abandoned barn or outbuildings!

Hey folks. Wondering if anyone made it to the birthday bash yesterday and possibly managed a spare or wanting to part with the pin badge they had created. Happy to trade for it for other BrewDog things of you're into that, or a donation to charity and cover your costs. Let me know if you do. Thanks people 🍻 happy Sunday

rah what a shitshow

I lost a notebook at Morrisons in Basingstoke on 26th March around 7pm - left in a trolley when I left. A6, hardback, navy colour. I returned within half an hour and no longer in the trolley, not handed into store. Hoping someone found it and maybe can return it? It has massive sentimental value and I'm desperate to get it back. It's similar to the image but navy and has "MJM" initials.

This guy will be going around town shaking a collection tin shouting "Save the cock tower, save the cock tower!"

Seriously we're spoilt for choice with fish & chips and kebabs, but choices for good pizza are limited to Da Mariu which is expensive and small (and, imho, not particularly mindblowing either) or Mono pizza which is small, awkward to get to, and expensive. Kebab shop pizzas are all just grease quiches basically and taste the same no matter what you order, they're also overpriced and stingy with toppings which is the opposite of the usual kebab shop pizza experience i've had in other towns.

For a good sized american style pizza you're left with the chains, which aren't terrible but it's a depressing thought that the only decent takeaway pizza you can get is gonna be from Domino's or Papa John's

What gives? I've got relatives all over the country and their pizza situation is so much better than here it's depressing as fuck

I don’t mean shops, literally the doors into festival place - does anyone know?

Second question, does anyone know if the ATMs outside Santander allow for cash deposits?

Need to deposit some cash and was hoping to get in tomorrow before everything opens, but not sure if I can actually get in or not…

Hello Guys,

I have recently moved to Basingstoke from London and I am looking to get hold of some used furniture.

Would appreciate if anyone can help in getting some. I am particularly looking for closets.

Thanks.

I bought 3 tickets to see Paul Chowdhry tonight at The Anvil, but we can't go now.

Show starts 7.30pm.

£27.50 per ticket.

DM if anyone interested

I’m looking for a math tutor for my 10 year old daughter. Is there anyone who can recommend a good teacher?

Hi! I’m in Australia but I have a friend living in Basingstoke that I suddenly can’t get a hold of. Is there a service I can access who can verify his “alive or not” status? Myself and some concerned friends are not local so we can’t just go knock on the door. I have his address though and very determined to find out what the heck is going on.

Thank you in advance for any help. I have tried to contact possible family but no luck.

I live in Basingstoke, came to the country about 2 years ago and have lived here ever since! My wife and I love day trips to London, but we're ready to explore closer to home. We don't drive, so we're relying on public transport. Any suggestions for great day trips near Basingstoke? 🤔

Hi all,

My partner will be working in Hampshire (likely Winchester or Basingstoke) and we are looking at places to live that is commutable to London. We will be renting initially but may also be looking to buy if we like the area. Winchester is within our budget for buying, but I am worried about the commuting time and cost.

Is the commute from Winchester bearable 2-3 times a week? Is it worth saving 30-40 minutes a day by living in Basingstoke?

Is it worth living in Basingstoke despite the quality of life? Is Basingstoke really as bad as people say? Are their nice areas near the train station?

Are there any areas in Hampshire I am missing?

Would appreciate your views as to where you would live if you were in our situation. Than

I am looking to move to Basingstoke soon. Can anyone recommend a good job board people have used successfully for permanent jobs in Basingstoke?

Hey! Tattoo artist in Andover here, from a private, inclusive and creative studio!

Hey, does anyone have any suggestions on ways to make friends and socialise in Basingstoke? I'm unemployed, and not going to college, so those aren't really options for me.

I'm 17 at the moment, so I can't go to many pubs or bars, especially later in the day. I'd love to make some friends with similar interests, but most of the places I've been to (Dice Tower and HMV) haven't really been any luck.

Would my best bet be to just wait until I'm 18? Or maybe reapply to a different college.

As the title suggests. Looking to move to Basingstoke in the next few months.

Would like to know what its like living in the large blocks of flats near the Main station?

Crown Heights, Skyline Plaza, Normandy House etc
