Seals washed up on Broadstairs / Dumpton / Ramsgate beaches

Anyone noticed a higher than normal number of seals washed up this year? Obviously after the heavy weather these last few days the beach was covered in the normal dog fish, bits and bobs. But the adolescent seal at Dumpton Gap this morning was in a proper sorry state. Head gone, fins and flippers all ripped off. Real sad.

Virgin Media down

FFS... WFH and Virgin down all night and still off now.

It's not like it's just for me either as I would accept it taking a bit of time but an entire area down you would hope would be a priority!

Throwaway Account / Super Lonely

Waddup people of Thanet. Just thought I’d hop on here and get this off my chest.

I’m (f24) super super fucking lonely, and it makes me so miserable. I have a great life pretty much otherwise. I’ve managed to get onto the property ladder, I have a loving boyfriend and family, a great job, but fuck me if I’m not the loneliest person ever.

I literally only have one friend who lives in Brighton. I see her maybe once a year. Other than that the only people I talk to are my boyfriend, colleagues, and family. I wish so badly that I had a friend who I could just chill with, play chess or Mario kart with or some shit like that. I pretty much never leave my place and my boyfriend works nights so every night I’m just lonely as fuck with my cat.

I just get so in my head about things as well, like I’m overweight af also and can never seem to do anything about that no matter how hard I try, and that also makes me feel like no one would want to be my friend anyway because I’m so gross. Then there’s the fact that my bf probably wouldn’t be over the moon if I got a new male friend so that limits me to just making friends with girls which I have always found difficult (again probably due to my own body image issues).

Bf has a group of friends he gets on PS4 with some evenings and they invite him out to spoons for lads nights and I just get so jealous. I don’t want to invite myself or make him feel bad for going, but what I would give for a friend or even some friends to go out to spoons with or do some sort of hobby with and just to feel included. Fuck sake.

Anyway thanks for reading if you did, no real point to this post other than me having a moan. Have a great evening everyone.

Survey on the impacts of the National Living Wage on workers in the UK

Hi all,

I am a student of the IB Diploma. I am writing an academic research paper for the Extended Essay in Economics, where I am attempting to analyze the impact of the recently imposed National Living Wage on employees in the UK.

The survey set requires people working in the UK. Ideally, it would be nice to get responses from minimum wage workers aged 25 and above, however, any/ all responses will be extremely helpful.

I request workers in the UK to please help me by participating in this survey and answer some very simple questions in the link attached.

Also,I will be extremely grateful if you can help circulate this survey to your known acquaintances in the UK.

Keeping in mind the privacy aspect, please note that this survey is and will remain completely anonymous, nor will the data be reproduced anywhere. This survey, once again is for my course research purposes only and not for any other intention or purpose.

This is the link to my survey:

Watch Out For

Be careful if your elderly loved one is being “looked after” by a woman in her 40s/50s named Janice. Blonde hair and slim. She is a predator and robbed so many of my late grandmothers belongings in her last few years. She earns trust to the point she gets left money in wills. She is a home helper. I won’t give her full name due to the fact the same answer we got from the police. If things start to go missing or swapped with cheaper items be warned this has happened before.

Looking for social gamers

Hello,

I hope this post is consistent with the rules of the subreddit.

Gaming is a social activity.  Something you do to relax, unwind and take your mind off the real world.  This activity is always made better when you can do it with like-minded individuals. 

We are local gamers, based in Kent in the south east of England.  After graduating University and entering the "real world", we noticed it became very difficult to co-ordinate and find times to play games with our friends.  So, we decided to do something about it.

Introducing our new discord server, Memin' and Dreamin'.  We created this for a place for local gamers to play together, have fun and potentially organise Local LAN parties and social events.  We're looking for gamers based in the UK to bolster our numbers and have fun with us.

We have various bots and voice channels set up, as well as doing game key giveaways that are free to enter.

If you're interested in joining, please join us at http://invite.gg/MaD
