Edit: this dog is now safely back to his family!

Hi, hopefully this is a good place to post this but I've found this chonky boy (came up to my door, no owner in sight). All the vets and numbers to call are closed now, so I was wondering if anyone here knows who this belongs to? There is a collar but the address is in Hastings, the landline number isn't being answered and I don't think he wandered all the way over here! Please DM if you know anything!!

This beautiful angel has been hanging out in my garden all evening. She’s very skinny. I’ve fed her but wondering if she has a home. I’ll take her to a vet tomorrow if she’s still hanging around.

Hey is there any History social clubs in our local area. Looking to make some new friends and recently starting getting into British empire history aswell as Military history in general.

Ive seen some online but they are Archaeological or based on local history 🤔

Cheers thank you and by the way im 24M

everyone near me is shite, managed to butcher simple layers and trims

need a hairstylist that can actually do layers 🙏🏻

I’m looking for some recommendations of pet care/ house sitters.

I’m looking at booking a house sitter to look after my 15 year old cat in November and for 5 nights.

Are there any good sitters in the area?

Hey everyone, Im looking for Pilates classes either in the city centre, hedge end or somewhere inbetween. Ideally an option of morning and evening classes and not too ridiculously expensive - does anyone have any suggestions please? Thank you 😊

All of the alternative social stuff ive seen on here are from like 1 to 2 yrs ago so ive decided to just make a new post :)

Just moved to Southampton recently ish- im already familiar with the hobbit and shooting star, etc, but was wondering, are there any alternative meet-up group chats??

23F and I just can't seem to make any friends for the life of me. Everyone my age alternative wise is suuuper rude lol or doesn't seem to want to socialise much at the hobbit (heard its gone a bit downhill from how it used to be)

Just looking for people to socialise with and potentially go to gigs and pub with occasionally :)

A few weeks ago I got a job in Southampton, and since then i've been house-hunting to find a place to move to within the next week or 2. Got a few house viewings booked for tomorrow and 1 of them is a flat above a bar on Oxford Street, which looks like quite a big street for nightlife. Kind of a dumb question as to some extent I already know the answer but how noisy is it round there, especially at night? Obviously can deal with a bit of noise and i'd expect that going into it but don't want to end up in a situation where I sign the lease and find blaring music every Friday until 3am. Any local knowledge would be appreciated :)

I have 2 tickets for The Hundred matches on Monday at the Utilita Bowl; Southern Brave vs Mi London.

Got via thee SkyVIP ballot but I’m unable to go now so giving away to anyone who wants them.

Received this message not long ago. I don’t have any leaks and wondered if anyone else has received this too. Wasn’t sure if this was a generic message sent out by Southern Water.

Hello r/Southampton .
I'm Sox and I run The Goblins Nook, a tabletop and wargaming shop over on the Liners Industrial Estate in Shirley (Freemantle). Been meaning to post here for ages and never got round to it.

We're an official Warhammer stockist and we've also got a decent paint selection, Army Painter and Vallejo ranges, plus Gamers Grass tufts and basing bits, Rosemary & Co brushes and Colour Forge sprays. Basically if you need to get an army painted we've got you covered.

It's not just a shop though, we've got gaming tables you can book for 40k, AoS, Bloodbowl, board games, RPGs, whatever you play really. There's painting desks too if you want somewhere to sit and paint with other people instead of hunched over your kitchen table. And a snack and cold drinks menu.

We run leagues, painting nights and other gaming events, and there's a good bunch of regulars on our Discord. Everyone's welcome, whether you've been in the hobby for years or you're just curious.

We're open Tuesday to Sunday. Everything's at thegoblinsnook.co.uk if you want to book a table or have a nose.

Any questions about the shop or the hobby, ask away.

Edit: I better add the address, that would help!

The Goblins Nook
Unit J1 Liners Industrial Estate, Pitt Rd, Southampton SO15 3FQ

also for anyone that would like it, here is a direct link to the Discord Community, we have many very helpful members :)

Hello! I'm looking for a cleaner for my home. Does anyone have anyone they can recommend? I have contacted Sparkling Clean and KayCee Cleans -two recs I found on posts here from many years ago - but they never responded. Thank you!

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend tailors or someone who can fix a pair of trousers for me? I'm unable to sew.

Random question - can you run through the port roads, going in at Dock Gate 10 and out at Dock Gate 20 or are they off limits?

Never been in there and on the plus side, its flat haha!

Hi me and parter want to go to a car boot sale, we live over in hythe so will have to travel to go somewhere , we went to strawberry fields and it was a good laugh, is there any what are actually worth going to? 😎

I am moving to Southampton soon
and I need to take the train to work everyday.

I am very anxious as I will be walking by myself early morning and at night (single female).

I am looking for somewhere to live at the moment, and the safe commute from and to Southampton Central station comes first.

Could you please suggest me the areas to avoid? Any advice appreciated as I don’t know anything about the area.

Hi there I have a spare double room available for rent for a year. It is in the Polygon area and it is a 4 bedroom house in total. I will post photos too

Around Wilton Ave area. Today witnessed all the bins have been knocked over by apparently a wandering guy in a hoodie and cap ? Violent as well. My mate rang the police and they've said its not a police matter even tho there's someone potentially violent causing antisocial behaviour and blocking the street to wheelchairs and vulnerable people absolutely ridiculous. Watch out and be careful if you're in the area
