I've recently gotten into skating and I'm looking for like minded people. I'm not the best (yet) but I really enjoy getting out on the wheels. I'm looking to eventually try using some skate parks but do not have the confidence yet.

Does anyone know of any meet up's or do you skate yourself and fancy creating a community?

Thanks!

Is there a cafe in Ipswich that does kippers for breakfast? I'm staying in a hotel, so can't cook them myself, although doing cook in the bag in the little kettle could leave a fun smell in the room on checkout day.

If anyone is up in the area near the swan can they keep an eye out please? She's my mum's and she's worried. Cheers

Hi Guys Moving for work in the next few days and going to base myself in Ipswich for a bit whilst I get to know the area in general. Just looking for recommendations really of things to do/places to go. Things I like:.

Indoor/outdoor sports.

Gaming - board and console.

Am Dram.

Books - member of a book club at the moment. So if any good clubs around.

Pub Quizzes.

Exploring the countryside/nearby coasts (probably a spring/summer thing).

Cheers.

Just working from my girlfriend's and having to hotspot as the internet isn't working.

I assume it's an area wide issue?

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a cafe or similar where I work with my laptop for an hour or two? In and around Ipswich. Good coffee is a bonus? Thanks.

Edit: wifi a bonus.

We have to move very soon, as in ASAP in the coming week, and we can't take our bunny with us.

Can anyone quickly help us find him a loving home?

He doesn't like being picked up or cuddled so he would not be a good pet for a child. We leave his cage open and allow him to have free roam of our living room. He's house-trained so he goes into the cage for his business. Admittedly he does leave the odd pellet around the outside of his cage, but they're dry and solid, and can be picked up with a tissue and leave no mess.

He eats the Selective rabbit food from Pets at Home, curly leaf kale from Sainsbury's and he likes the odd treat of raisins, a carrot, or broccoli.

We never got around to giving him a name so he's just Bunny, Bun-Bun, or "Hey, Buns!" :-)

He's been seen a couple of months ago by the vet in Christchurch Street for claw snipping. They weighed him and said he's fine and healthy.

He hasn't had contact with any other rabbits for the 5 years we've had him, so he won't have any rabbit diseases.

Please help a poor Bunny find a new furever home! :-)

Well, delivery.

I need some decent Indian food. Been craving it since i moved.

I wasn’t really sure where to ask for advice on this, but living in Ipswich I thought this community could help.

I need to return a parcel that is massive - a bicycle. It came in a box 190x130x30cm and weighs 14kg. It arrived via DX delivery however I cannot see anyway of sending parcels via them as they seem to be business delivery service only. I used all the usual parcel couriers to check quotes (parcel force WW, dhl, ups, DPD, apc, evri) and none of them have managed to give me a quote online. Parcelforce WW seemed like it would work with the dimensions, but when I submit the quote it says not possible.

If anyone has any advice on this kind of oversized parcel sending - it would be much appreciated.

The parcel would be going from Ipswich to NG20 8RY

Hi, I'm looking for a place where I can buy plants for my room, I moved to the UK 3 weeks ago and I don't really know in which shops they sell plants. Do you know where I can buy some, preferrably in the town center? I found some in b&m but they were dying and I didn't know if I would be able to revive them lol. Thanks!

There's about 6 police cars and at least one van all gathered in the town centre outside Costa/Santander right now. Does anyone know whats going on? 👀

Does anybody have a recommendation for a fairly local supplier for a high quality sit/stand desk please? I'd want it installed in Ipswich.

To the person that stuck the googly eyes on it - chef's kiss 🤌

I'm sad to say I went past too quickly to snap a pic.

Hello all. I need to replace the battery of my early-2016 MacBook. It’s a discontinued model (12-inch screen) and when I took it to Apple, they said that as it’s considered “vintage”, they can no longer provide services on it.

However I adore this laptop, and apart from the extremely short battery life, it works completely fine.

Where can I go or what can I do to get the battery replaced?

As the title says, just a shitposting thread, use for venting when the bridge is closed, when you've won the lottery, and you're going to donate some to the sub, and anything in-between!

Anyone know any teams/leagues for 35+ year olds? I’m 37 and can’t run for more than a minute without practically dying but I’m hoping there’s a team I can join so I can get fit and enjoy playing football again. I used to have the athleticism but not the football brain, but now it’s the other way around. I live in Woodbridge area. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am relatively new in the town, was just wondering if there is any football clubs for like 20-year-olds going in town? Just to have a fun kick about?

Hey all,

I was thinking of adding flairs to the sub.

The first one I thought of was either postcode area (IP1, IP2, etc) or area name (Stoke, Whitehouse, etc) but equally aware of people maybe not wanting to use these for obvious reasons of privacy.

If anyone has any other thoughts, or suggestions for flairs, please feel free to pop them in here.

Hello, a few months ago I mentioned I was moving here from Canada and now that I am here I am looking for some good places to eat. I’m looking for both dine in and takeaway and would be interested in any recommendations. I have already tried the following:

• Bang Burger
• Fortune Cookie
• Bodrum Kebab House
• The Sausage Cart
• Greggs

Also, do all pubs not serve food, or do selective pubs do both, clearly I haven’t been to a pub here but my first few days in London I went to a pub and it didn’t serve food which seemed odd to me because in Canada (at least the province I’m from) you legally have to serve food with alcohol.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions, thanks in advance 😁

Edit: Holy shit thanks everyone for all the lovely answers, I’ve added many to my list, and I do truly appreciate it😊

Preferably not too busy and rowdy ones please.

Thanks
