General Questions Dispose / sell wheel and tire
I have a usable, good condition wheel and tire that I need to get rid of.
Anyone got any suggestions for where to get rid of them? Recycling centre won't take them, I could scrap it but it seems a waste as they're both absolutely fine.
The tyre isn't on the wheel.

My wife survived breast cancer this year. In 3 days, she’s running The Great South Run attached to 3 people as a giant caterpillar for Breast Cancer Now!
Hey everyone,
Mods, I hope this is allowed; if it's not, please remove.
Earlier this year, my wife Suzie was diagnosed with breast cancer. After surgery and treatment, she is thankfully cancer-free today, but as anyone who has been through it knows, the physical and emotional recovery is an ongoing journey.
To celebrate how far she’s come, she decided to take on the Great South Run 10-miler this Sunday (October 18th).
Because she never does things by halves, she decided not to run it normally. Instead, she and three amazing friends are running all 10 miles physically attached to each other as a giant caterpillar! 🐛🏃♀️
They are doing this to raise vital funds for Breast Cancer Now to support life-changing research and give other families the support we were so grateful to have during her treatment.
With 3 days to go, training is done, and the costume is ready.
If anyone would like to support or donate a couple of quid to help push the caterpillar over the finish line, here is her fundraising link:
👉 https://www.justgiving.com/page/suzie-richardson-4
And if you’re in town on Sunday, keep an eye out for four people dressed as a giant insect and give them a cheer—they are definitely going to need it by mile 8!
Thanks so much for reading!

lost glasses
me and a few friends on the way back from drinking got mugged and in the process I dropped my sunglasses. as far as I'm aware they weren't picked up at the time at least. it was in the Southsea area and if anyone comes across a pair of Ray-Ban jacks it would be more than appreciated and rewarded if they could be returned. thankyou very much in advance :)

General Questions Boss Swan
Anyone else seen this unit of a swan at the Canoe Lake? I saw it stamp on a pigeon in an effort to mug me of the swan food I had 😂 Dogs seemed to give him (or her) a wide berth as well 🦢

Lost Camera in Southsea
My friend lost her camera in Southsea last night, possibly en route from Deco in Elm Grove and then down to Southsea seafront via Waverley Road. I know it's a long shot, and I've tried to retrace our steps, but if anyone has come across it today, please let me know!

Spanish–English Language Exchange in Portsmouth
Hi everyone!
I'm Colombian and currently living in Portsmouth. I'm learning British English at college, and I'd love to meet local people who are interested in learning or improving their Spanish.
I'm a native Spanish speaker, and I'm happy to help with pronunciation, vocabulary and everyday conversations.
In exchange, I'd really appreciate some help with my English, especially speaking, listening and natural British expressions.
We could meet at a local café or library for a friendly language exchange — perhaps 30 minutes in English and 30 minutes in Spanish.
I'm also interested in technology, artificial intelligence and software development, so it would be great to connect with people who share those interests.
If you're interested, please leave a comment or send me a message.
Cheers!

General Questions Where can I buy Pokemon cards?
I'm looking to suprise my boyfriend with pokemon cards for his birthday and I'm not sure how to find places that stock pokemon cards that also dont cost a fortune.
I've accidentally bought fake cards in the past so I dont trust myself again.
Do people have any recommendations or know how I could go about buying some, I'd love to support local shops if there are any.

General Questions Master Degree Research Project
Posting with Permission:
My name is Jasmine, a Masters Student of Visual Communication at The University of Portsmouth.
I am currently undergoing a research project around the Cascades Shopping Centre, the former Tricorn site and Portsmouth north in general.
The brief:
A fictional company is planning to build within the area of Portsmouth City North; on-top of the former Tricorn Site and north of Commercial Road.
As a Master's Student in Visual Communication, I have been tasked with finding the human truth, opportunities, gaps, fears and memories of the area and respond to that in a visual way.
It could be an intervention, something to include in the space, or communications as the works are happening.
For this to happen, I am looking for as much insight as I can, to begin to form a response.
If you have a 5 minutes or so over the next week, please can you fill out this questionnaire: Portsmouth City North: The Human Truth.

Getting the council to enforce EV charging spots?
There's a family who have one of those big VW vans that use the EV charging spot on our road as their personal parking spot. They plug the charging cable in so it looks like they're charging but they don't start the session. They do it every night and have done so for months.
I've reported it 5 times, about once a month, to the council but nothing has been done. They just tell me they'll take a look when they have someone available. What can I do?

General Questions Youngot £250 to spend on one dinner for 2 people. Where are you going?
Reasonably speaking I don’t think we can buy 10x Five Guys meals each.
Any posh places you would recommend where we can spend this money on a dinner? We don’t drink so that makes it harder.
Willing to travel if anyone got some good shouts further away
No 10 course half bite sized tasting menu please because I will lose my patience very quickly with those
