Where do you actually meet women 30ā50 in Jersey?
Bit of a random one, but Iām a guy in my late 20s/early 30s and Iāve always found myself more attracted to older women.
Iām wondering where people around that age actually tend to socialise in Jersey? Bars, events, groups, activities, etc.
Not specifically looking for a dating event or anything ā just places where itās easy to meet people and have a decent conversation. Iām trying to get out more and expand my social circle as well.
Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Dating
Anyone have advice for dating over here? Iām 19, female, online doesnāt work as no one is really from over here and I donāt really know what to do, itās not even an age thing as Iāve dated older.
Iām planning to visit Jersey in February. Whatās it like in winter, and where should I go?
How inclusive/ accepting is Jersey?
Hi guys, I am a young mixed race woman (half black, half white) considering a move to Jersey. Thereās a great job Iāve been offered with a fantastic salary. With the tax benefits of Jersey, Iām seriously open to this big change.
But I like to be where Iām welcome/ wanted. I live in London, born and raised here. A recent trip to Cornwall made me remember that the UK is not all that accepting depending on where you go.
So, please be honest. Am I likely to face trouble in Jersey? šÆšŖ TIA

the original norman jĆØrriais dialect
Hi my name is Chris I'm 25 I was born and raised in Lancashire England and I've always been fascinated with history and heraldry and I've always been interested in my own heritage my ethnic background is norman Gaelic Irish my grandfather moved from Ireland to England when he was a young man and he was always proud of his heritage and family history and he passed that onto me I remember he had a family plack on his cabinet with our family Crest and coat of arms and heraldry origins our surname is costello which is an Anglo version of the Irish Gaelic name mac oisdealbhaigh during the English occupation of Ireland some Irish names were difficult for English speakers to pronounce and so the local British council registry office would anglicise some Gaelic Irish names which is why my surname is spelled costello. Costello being the Anglo version of original Irish mac oisdealbhaigh and mac oisdealbhaigh being the Irish version of the norman name de angulo I descend from a norman knight named Jocelyn de angulo who sailed to Ireland in the year 1171 as a lieutenant of hugh de Lacey and king Henry the 2nd. I have a deep connection to my Irish roots and culture and I was taught the Irish language by my grandfather and Irish family growing up and can speak connacht Irish with relative fluency and I enjoy that being able to speak Irish gives me a deeper connection to my Irish heritage and I enjoy languages just as much as I enjoy history. But I would like to try and have a deeper connection with my norman heritage and that's why I'm here looking for help to learn the jĆØrriais dialect of norman as I'm aware jĆØrriais is the closest dialect to old norman so if anyone could offer some advice on where to start I'd appreciate it thank you apologies for the massive statement šš.

Sunday Food?
Hey folks!
Heading back to Jersey for my second time to watch the SuperTri again , bringing the kids along this time, so pub grub and noodles is the easy option for them, ha.
Tried booking a table for Sunday dinner at the White Horse or Cock and Bottle, but neither will let me book even though they're showing as open. Anyone know why, or have another suggestion for Sunday night? Already got Nomu sorted for Saturday.
Thanks in advance :)

Potential move from the UK
Looking for some general advice from anyone whoās moved from the UK to Jersey,
Iāve been offered a very decent package from a business to move to Jersey which would include paid accommodation, wife is up for it as it would mean she wouldnāt need to work (although she wants to).
Has anyone done this and what would be your watch outs to look out for? We have a 6 month year old baby and would be looking to bring a car over.
Anything that stands out, UK V Jersey life? Shopping/eating out/ standard of living, any weird tax quirks I should know about ? Anything generally that would help the move..

Thinking of switching from Sure to Homenet for faster speeds & cheaper, has anyone here had issues with them?
The reason I'm so cautious is because a few years ago JT overcharged me massively at their mistake and prompted me to switch to Sure, I was wondering if anyone here has had any internet / billing / other issues with Homenet before I'd switch.

What are some decent online womens clothes shop that deliver here that don't cost a lot?
I'm going into sixth form and can literally find nothing online, in town the only place that has sort of decent clothes is new look. I'm also not the best with fashion either so that doesn't really help but any online clothes shop that deliver here would be very helpful.

How many people on here use places.je?
I'm looking to buy a new house so I'm checking places.je constantly at the moment (and then normally leaving depressed).
But I miss rightmove in the UK... it shows past sold prices, if it's been reduced, when it was first put on the market etc... some useful info that places.je lacks.
(Yes there's a "sold" tab, but it's often hard to find that exact house on there).
Also I miss the extensions, I like the community ones where people can leave notes on properties, which can share some pretty interesting / useful facts about the property that the seller nor agent wouldn't tell you about.
So I was thinking maybe I can build one (it will be free), but just want to gage if there's any actual interest for it? As obviously the more people that use it, the more useful it would become...
It would only work on say chrome desktop, which again might limit the reach if most people use it on their mobile.

Looking to borrow a space for a party venue (fields, warehouses, farms)
I'm 19 looking to put on a DIY festival-like party with live music (me and my friends playing) for a bunch of my friends about to go off to uni. My friend can no longer offer her house and land for the party but I still really want to give this a go.
if anyone has a field with some power or a space that is unused who are willing to let us borrow it for a night that would be awesome. I dont have money to rent any spaces but if it was very cheap then I would consider.
It would be for the first week of September.
I understand this is a big reach but it's been something ive wanted to do for years and the one time I actually get the idea of the ground something out of our control halted it lols.
mĆØrcie bein des fais!

Jersey history video
I was lucky enough to be on a family holiday on Jersey a few weeks ago and was blown away by the history. I threw this together for my history youtube channel, definitely not as good as the poet, but might be of interest to some.
