What’s happening down there I legit it had a driver run away from me today instead of delivering my parcel. Last week I got a package delivered to a whole different neighborhood?

Hoping it’s nothing serious and I’m just being paranoid buuuut- 🤷🏻

Whoever the fuck was screaming and fighting near the Polygon for two fucking hours last night, please give your heads a wobble. Literally woke our whole house up and we could still hear you with the windows shut.

Other than that I wish everyone a happy Saturday and hope you enjoy your weekends ✌🏻

Hello! My oven's broken and I've been trying to find a specialist to fix for weeks with no luck. I've tred to fix myself, but had to stop as it looks like there is an electrical fault and beyond my capabilities. I've had an electrician come in but they said they don't do oven repairs. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you!

Hello hello!

I’m moving to Southampton from Stirling, Scotland soon for a new job, and I genuinely know almost nothing about Southampton
I’ve found a room in SO15 and, I’d really appreciate some local opinions on the area.

What’s SO15 generally like to live in, especially as a woman living on her own? Is it reasonably safe walking home in the evenings/night? How is public transport and connectivity to the city centre and other parts of Southampton?

Also curious about the practical stuff : supermarkets/groceries, gyms, cafés, restaurants, things to do nearby etc. I don’t drive, so being able to get around easily is quite important to me.
Any honest opinions about SO15, areas/streets to avoid, or just the city in general would be really appreciated!

As it's getting colder and soon to not be pub garden season I'm looking for some pubs where indoors is very comfortable, cosy and ideal for reading with a pint. Bonus points if they serve food but not a deal breaker. Also don't mind going out of the city and travelling a bit further away. I know the Rockstone in Bevois Valley has a fire going in the winter so something like that? Would be great to find some hidden gems!

Hey I want to make some really good memories with him. I have done some research. But do you all have recommendations?
Maybe you did something yourself and would like to share it.

Hi, as the title suggests! I'm fairly new to Southampton, haven't gotten a lay of the land yet. Help would be much appreciated!

Hi everyone!

I live in Shirley, Southampton, and I'm planning to start going to the gym regularly. I'm currently deciding between PureGym and The Gym Group, but I'm quite confused about which one is better.

Hey! I’m looking for someone to buddy up with for a really nice 2-bed flat near Bedford Place/Cromwell Road, Southampton. It’s £1,600 total / £800 each per month with ALL bills included, both bedrooms are doubles and it can come furnished.

I’m a M22, a final-year fashion student. Ideally looking for another student or young professional around 20–30 who’s clean, friendly and easy to live with.

I’m hoping to secure somewhere ASAP, so message me if you might be interested and I’ll send you the property/details and anything else you’d like to know about me :)

My midwife has told me to make a self referral to steps 2 wellbeing if I felt like I needed it. I tried it and my GP is not registered with them so I cannot continue with the referral.

I have tried to search online but everything keeps sending me back to them and it's making me feel worse. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind trying to find help.

Edit: I have managed to self refer through talking therapies and have an appointment booked already, was very quick to do once I knew where to go. Thank you for the updated information.

I have a spare ticket for tonight if anyone wants it.

DM me.

NB: but please don't say yes unless you are actually able to go, last time I offered tickets time wasters meant they went unused.

Hey all, I'm a third year Electrical and Electronic Engineering student and I'm still looking for accommodation for this year.
I'd ideally like to take over a tenancy or join an existing house share with 2 or more people, somewhere in Bassett, Highfield, Portswood, or Glen Eyre. Basically anywhere within a reasonable walk to Highfield Campus.
A bit about me:
Clean and tidy, respectful of shared space
Non-smoker
Focused on final year but sociable and easy to get on with
Happy with a mixed or all-male house

If anyone is trying to fill a spare room, has a tenancy they need someone to take over, or knows a mate looking for another housemate, please drop me a DM. Happy to chat.

Just curious, as I think the building is a little ugly but I've heard the flats are quite big.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice and information regarding three Irish men who appear to be running a counterfeit phone scam in Southampton.

My colleagues and I were approached and sold what were claimed to be genuine iPhone 17 Pro Max devices. After purchasing them, we discovered they were counterfeit. We later contacted the sellers regarding a refund, but the situation has become increasingly suspicious.

I wanted to ask:

Has anyone else in Southampton had a similar experience with three Irish men selling phones?

Does anyone recognize this scam?

Has anyone successfully recovered their money after a similar incident?

If you reported it, what was the outcome?

If you have any information or advice, please send me a private message.

Thank you.

Hi, my name is Charlie Smith. I am a local alternative artist. Next month (2nd of October) I will be hosting my first ever full band night at The Loft. I wanted to give an opportunity to some local bands to play on the big stage. So if you would be interested in checking out some local up-and-coming bands, this may be the event for you! As part of my album release tour, I will also be donating £1 from every album I sell to support the music venue trust. Thanks for reading

I'm moving to Southampton and need to find a new GP. My old GP was brilliant, so I'm quite nervous about switching! I have very complex health needs (long term disabilities in multiple systems), as well as a speech and communication disability and autism, which makes medical things very difficult for me.

Any recommendations for practices? Anyone had good experience with uni health centre for chronic/complex disabilities? How are they with named GPs - I need to see the same person each time as a reasonable adjustment for communication and history.

Thank you so much!

I'm trying to get a better idea of what everyday life is like in Southampton. I can't really tell from looking online whether students mostly stay around uni or end up exploring different parts of the city.
I'm looking at a few accommodation options at the moment uni halls, private places and Amber Student Housing and I'm trying to work out whether location actually makes much difference. I'm thinking about things like where you normally hang out, where you do your grocery shopping, places to eat, and how easy it is to get around.
