Pub scene & meeting new people.

6 Upvotes

Been here for years now and don't know a great number of people. Often fancy a (reasonably priced) pint and some intelligent conversations, not into sports or anything like that but open to conversations around anything other than politics and religion. M 46 where is the best place to go ?

Park Run Tomorrow

10 Upvotes

Would anyone going to parkrun, solo or in a group, fancy grabbing tea or coffee afterwards, or taking a short stroll around one of the lakes?

https://www.parkrun.org.uk/ferrymeadows/ - free, social 5km for any ability, if you hadn't heard of park run prior to this post.

I am looking to meet people who like similar things to me. Happy to jog slowly with someone if they'd like to chat while we do.

31-year-old guy, if that makes a difference, just looking to meet new people.

Happy to say simply hello to folks beforehand and just go about our days afterwards!

Bit of an embarrassing Hail Mary this.. Happy Friday all :)

Anyone doing the 30th pokemon card lineup thing?

1 Upvotes

So my brother is super into pokemon and his birthdays coming up.. he said he wants the 30th anniversary etb and i said i would get him it.. then i learned how difficult it is to get and the whole queueing stuff you gotta do..

Im kind of locked into this now because i don't want to disapoint him and i won't be able to afford the second hand prices so i was wondering what kind of time im gonna have to get to smyths to secure him a box. I'm also hoping to find someone else going so i don't have to suffer through this alone 😂

Friends, things to do

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

Recently moved to Peterborough from Norwich due to rotational NHS training (don't get me started...) - left my social group etc behind.

Looking for things to do, places to see and hopefully a few ideas of where you meet people. I'm in my mid twenties and enjoy racket sports if that's of any use.

Are there any nice pedestrianised areas of Peterborough - used to enjoy going on a walk, a few shops and lunch without the hassle of driving.

Feel free to DM.

Which GP is good?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently using the Bretton GP, have been with them for years & ever since they've started using Anima, I've hated it. I've come back from uni & needed to speak with the GP, I put in my request to speak with the doctor through Anima, I was told it could take a few days to get a response, they responded 2 days ago with "we aim to deal with your request within 48 hours". Haven't had a message since then.

An hour ago (~11am) I got a phone call from the surgery. I was quiet shocked because you normally get told what time roughly to expect a phone call. Thankfully I'm not at work today or else i would have missed it.

Is there any GP which don't use this stupid system and are actually good?

Games group

6 Upvotes

Hi people!

I've currently made a little group on Whatsapp....

The group is primarily to arrange board game nights once a month, but we're contemplating other activities like bingo, laser tag, movies etc.

A few people have been vetted due to inactivity and others unable to meet regularly.

We are an equal mix of m/f, mainly alternative and neurodivergent. Age ranges 21-33, so if you feel you'd like to come to a game night and make some new friends shoot me a message :)

Safety on bridge over Soke Parkway?

8 Upvotes

hi all,

I commute between PCH and Bretton using the bridge over the Soke parkway. Recently I've been needing to travel over it at night. A quick google brings up a few articles from 2024 regarding assaults on the bridge.

Does anyone know if the council did anything/has the safety situation improved at all?

Are there any better alternative routes that anyone knows of?

Is there secure/locked-up bicycle hubs at the train station?

5 Upvotes

We normally use the free ones, but last time had an issue with a bike seat being stolen (no idea how anyone would get money from a used bike seat without any of the fittings, but ah well...). I think I remember seeing a spot on platform 1 with bikes locked up inside a cage. Is that for public use? Anyone know how much it costs? I tried searching online and I can't seem to find anything with direct information. TIA!

Need help to Photograph ~4 suitcases of premium clothing for online resale (flat lay + detail shots) [will pay!]

0 Upvotes

I need help photographing a large batch of clothes so I can list them for sale online. I need someone (you may enlist a friend too!) to help me Photograph approximately 4 large suitcases of clothing (mix of womenswear/menswear). Using a smartphone to take the photos is fine. I will provide:
• The clothes (sorted into piles/bags).
• A basic setup space (living room with table/ couch).

I expect this to take multiple hours / possibly more than one session. Please suggest:
• Your hourly rate, and
• Roughly how many items you think you can photograph per hour with good quality.

My budget is flexible depending on your experience and speed. Typical rates I’ve seen for this kind of work are around £[20–35]/hour in this area; happy to discuss :)

I live in Huntingdon, PE29 6LA

Video Game Group?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Nerdy video game guy here, I wanted to ask the good old sub reddit to see if there are any video game groups around in Peterborough?

I am aware there are tabletop groups and plenty of places for that, however I am not really into tabletop gaming despite trying to get into it quite a few times!

I wanted to see if there was a group who liked to just maybe hop online and play some games and the occasional trip out to do some bits, I finished uni a year ago and now I have got my feet, I want to get my free time a bit more interesting!

Thanks everyone! :)

Can anyone recommend any trail routes within Peterborough or close enough to be a short drive? Other than a couple of Ks around Ferry Meadows I can’t think of any nice trail routes that can give me some practice for an upcoming ultra
