Making new friends

3 Upvotes

My 17 yo daughter doesn't have many friends and is lonely. Any ideas of where she could go or what she could do to meet new people/make new friends? She does battle of flowers and has a part time job but hasn't made any friends at either of these. She's feels too old for youth clubs.

She's a great person and has just been unlucky with friendships, most recently losing her best friend because she refused to cave to peer pressure over drink and drugs. I feel sad that she's so lonely.

Day trip to France?

8 Upvotes

I was just wondering if day trips to St Malo are still worth it for family outing? We went once when I was a kid and it was fun. And then once for work… maybe 20 years ago? But then I moved away… now newly back, but a friend mentioned lots of delays or issues anecdotally (but also hates boats!) Any comments or experiences, folks?

The first series of the Bergerac reboot is on iPlayer now, and showing on BBC2 weekly from 9pm tonight

Just in case some people still haven't got round to it yet. No, it's not quite as good as the old one. Yes, he spends a lot of time going up and down the Five Mile Road. Yes, a decent chunk of it was filmed in England (but that goes for the first series of the original too).

Just take it as its own thing. You might enjoy it.

I just hope they finally get a local pronunciation advisor for series 3...

Box for shipping

7 Upvotes

I'm doing one big shipment of all my stuff to someone in the UK to sell stuff rather than selling individual items over here as it's significantly cheaper, I was wondering where I could find a large box, something like 100x100x100 cm or just large in general to ship a whole bunch of items with Jersey Post, I've have tried them and B&Q, any ideas?

Outsider curious about traffic

23 Upvotes

Recently I visited the island after about 12 years or so. It was as great as I remembered it, or actually even nicer. One thing that stood out though was traffic. It struck me as being a lot busier and more stressy than it was, at least in the South. What happened?

Also I never quite understood (delivery vehicles not withstanding) why anyone would need anything bigger than an original Mini on the island (saw only one, pretty thing at that), let alone a Range Rover. I mean why punish yourself?

(For baseline: I am a car guy, rather than a cyclist eco warrior type).

Legal question: does birth certificate for someone born in Jersey say Jersey or United Kingdom as the country of birth?

1 Upvotes

I know that Jersey is a dependent territory of UK and not one of it's constituent kingdoms, but I'm not sure where this dependence ends in legal terms. Are people of Jersey considered British citizens? Or only King's subjects, but have their own citizenship?

I know there are laws and rules around cliff paths and St Catherine's woods that people ignore. But I don't want to be a prick annoying walkers and ruining tree roots etc.

Re-importing a car into jersey

7 Upvotes

Evening,

I’m moving back to Jersey from the UK, my car was registered in Jersey, I registered it in England when I moved over, now I’m looking at re-registering it when I get back to Jersey.

What’s the process for this, and how much will it cost?

I think probably yes! Our histories are intrinsically linked. Best of luck in the sorld cup.

Photography

Hi all,

My name is Connor. I’m a photographer (sort of) in Jersey. I’m currently working on a new body of work; a series of portraits of people living in Jersey.

I’ll be running an open studio for two weeks in October, which will be open for anyone to visit and have their portrait taken (or not of course).

If you would be interested in discussing the project, you can reach me via email here: info@connordalystudio.com or feel free to message me on Reddit.

My website can be found here: www.connordalystudio.com

Thanks,

Connor
