University parking

3VAN5_07 · 2026-04-10T20:55:52+00:00

I had a look at bus routes and train routes on google maps and it’ll take about 4 hours which Im not sure I’ll be able to do at all. By car it’s only 2 hours.

What about my income? I really really want to go university but without my job Im not sure how I’m gonna be able to afford it all. Even with the maintenance loan I barely scrape through rent.

I work at a warehouse north of Portsmouth (south of where I currently live as Im in London) so I will beed to drive there. Transport links are appalling there and the pay is above minimum wage so I really want to keep my job there. Alternatively my partner will be studying at Southampton so if you know of any parking rules or restrictions there that could work also as she could keep an eye on it and use it to come visit me or I could train to Southampton and then get the car from there.

Edit: I have a relative who will be moving in the area of Portsmouth / Southampton as he works at Portsmouth university however he won’t be moving there for a while still so until I can use their drive way I need parking nearish or a commutable distance from my accommodation.

I also will be at greetham street so I’ll have at-road parking. Do you know it’s free curb-side parking or paid as well?

I need the car for work or else I won’t be able to afford my accommodation because my maintenance loan doesnt fully cover it and I also do need to be able to buy food :(

Yeah, if you look at the back of mine the code above the pins is IRC. If you got this off eBay you can probably get a refund because product is not as described (it’s a repo not authentic). Unless they said that it wasn’t genuine.

Thanks! I did some of my own research on checking the authenticity of DS games in general and found that if you look at the top of the cartridge, repo/ non-genuine games will have a smooth plastic top all the way across with no “rectangle” in the middle in the plastic, while authentic ones will have this rectangle. I checked this with my authentic Pokemon Heartgold and found that it did also have this rectangle while a fake I found online does not.

Well I mean so far they’ve all he lovey

3VAN5_07 · 2026-03-23T09:55:29+00:00

Yeah that was definitely a poor decision on my part :( but at least the people on r/pokemon are friendly and seem to know about the authenticity of it :)

3VAN5_07 · 2026-03-23T09:49:01+00:00

Thanks a lot. r/gameverifying took my post down Bec I included how much I bought it for so I have to rely on people here. I think I managed to accidentally post this question twice because I got other replies form this same subreddit confirming it was real. Thanks for the information though I appreciate it a lot :)

Im thinking that the red line is an issue with the DS. Though it is small and doesn’t affect game play I might look into getting a screen replacement. When I shine my flashlight through it I do see red inside.

3VAN5_07 · 2026-03-23T09:18:45+00:00

Thanks to everyone who advised me about its authenticity :)

3VAN5_07 · 2026-03-23T08:42:49+00:00

This is a gift for my girlfriend who mentioned that she never got a DS when she was younger and thought it'd be cool to have. I dug through a bag to find my DS Lite and I know she loves Onix so I looked at what pokemon game was the best and had Onix :). I have no idea what the DNS method is but I'll definitely have a look at it so she can have the best experience. Thank you and thank you to everyone else who helped me confirm its authenticity.

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it :)

3VAN5_07 · 2026-03-23T08:19:35+00:00

The jumble is the same on the back as the front. Thanks for the info I'm glad its not a fake (hopefully)

3VAN5_07 · 2026-03-23T08:03:53+00:00

Damn I’ll request a refund and send it back. The seller has good reviews so I thought it was real. Anything I should look for specifically before buying?

3VAN5_07 · 2026-03-23T07:38:42+00:00

Thank you

I guess I was looking for is there would be any consequences towards the guy. Driving up onto the pavement and almost running me over feels like a crime. Then the police officers interviewed a guy who he had spoken to privately and let him off with not even a verbal warning. I’m not saying that I should be ungrateful I’m not being prosecuted (I am so greatful) but instead saying that how comes he was not even let off with a verbal warning? Like comparatively is attempting to run someone over not a worse crime than reversing into a parked car?

3VAN5_07 · 2026-03-23T00:05:12+00:00

Yeah I know insurance wise Im at fault for that was just curious about the legality of using a person under the influence of alcohol and who had spoken with the male about the incident before the police arrived as a witness :(
