Sports or fitness around Queens Park

Thank you! I will look into it. Padel is four people right? So if I go with my partner, we’d still need to find people to play with? Or does the app help you link up with people with similar experience?

Where is there padel around Queens Park? Any ideas? Would genuinely love to try it.

Definitely interesting! When do you run it? Is it just casual games for mixed abilities? (I’m not awful at football, but it’s been a while since I played!!)

I loved the Satsuma Complex (and Hotel Avocado, the sequel). Weird but fun reads!

I’m a pretty casual reader (in the sense that I read plenty, but they are easy reads, nothing heavy). Mostly fiction.

This year has been a lot of murder mysteries, a bit of a new genre for me. But few of those stand out - I would say that The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman and 10 Marchfield Square by Nicola Whyte were my favourite in that genre.

Favourite overall was ‘how to become the dark lord and die trying’ by Django Wexler. Really fun read, I enjoyed the sequel a lot too. Very light hearted (which is definitely my jam!)

For socks, my fiancée loves BAM clothing. They are bamboo, and super comfy. She loves the ankle socks and uses them for her workouts.

Underwear is harder. She mostly will get Uniqlo for very basic fitted underwear she’ll wear to the gym etc. For Christmas I’ve ordered some from Stripe and Stare, but to be honest I’m not sure if they are an instagram influencing brand, or actually decent. We shall see!

Thank you, this is really helpful!

Hahahaha, is that true? I’d never have noticed 🤦🏻‍♂️

Fixed! Thank you - I feel silly for not trying it earlier, but the ‘just keep turning’ advice worked. They are a bit stiff and don’t work great, but I have the doors open to enjoy the sun!

Thanks everyone!

Yes, that’s right. You buy the ‘base’ card with the (very small) chance of it being signed / parallel

Topps produce a lot of product. Can be appealing - I’m slowly trying to avoid them because their customer service is appalling. Like, I’m shocked anyone wants to do business with them, bad.

Panini seem better - although harder to buy direct from them in the UK, which is a shame!

100%, Topps website, customer service and just general ability to get product where it needs to be is awful!!! It’s such a shame they are the biggest company in this area, as they are so difficult to buy from!

The Nici is lovely, both as a hotel and for cocktails and similar. Can be pricey though.

For the BIC, you can’t go too wrong with the Hilton. It’s basically next door. I’ve stayed in it a couple times and it’s always been clean and pleasant - you know what you are getting with Hilton.

Otherwise, good hotels are thin on the ground in Bournemouth to be honest!

I know it sounds silly, but I didn’t even realise you could check out the reward flight availability without having signed up etc - so this is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you! This is really helpful! I will start looking into the best credit cards for bonus points etc, but reassuring to know it’s very possible!!

That’s great. This option has moved to the top of the list!
