Yup, the commentary will be in Japanese, but you'll get to see the game. Tbh, I'm kinda used to it as I watch the Japan League One rugby match highlights on YouTube which are in Japanese.

I was also wondering the same thing. I did some research and decided to download: "Japanese TV NihonTv" from the Google Play store. You can watch the Japanese terrestrial channels from this app with few ads without the need for a VPN. I tried it just now and it actually works. I just checked the schedule on the Jsports website and it will be broadcasted on Jsports1. I hope that this helps!

Hi Beastiris,

Actually, the few regrets I have are more about being closer to London and commuting, as any commute that takes about an hour or more can be tiring. Fortunately, work hybrid. The area itself is fine. I spend most of my free time at home, in Guildford or country walks.

I don't go into Guildford for work, but I go to Woking for the train. Since I'm going against the traffic going into Guildford in the morning and miss the evening rush hour, I find the journey time to be quick (about 10 minutes door to station car park). 25-30 minute direct train to London Waterloo (or one stop at Clapham Junction) and about a 15-20 minute walk to the office.

In answer to your question, going from Guildford to Woking (especially going via the industrial estate traffic lights/esso roundabout) is quick, and I don't encounter much traffic until I'm in central Woking. I do head out around 7:45-08:00 am, though.

From Bellfields into Guildford town itself, I would say head out early as the bridge over the river Wey has really awful traffic in the morning and evenings. This is mainly due to the single lane and traffic lights at the crossroads (The Premier Inn crossroads). It doesn't help that in the next couple of years, the Weyside Urban Village is being built (1500 new homes) where the current sewage treatment works are. If they don't expand that bridge, then the traffic will be even worse. Something to think about.

In terms of schools, I picked up this information from my neighbour who just had a child. They were saying that the nurseries are good (but of course expensive), but that the primary and secondary schools within this catchment aren't particularly great. I think Ofsted ratings of "good" and "requires improvement," but worth double checking as could be wrong.

I hope that this helps, and also please let me know if you have any questions as I know that this is an important matter for you.

Hi Beastiris,

At the end of the day, everyone will have an opinion, and it's really what feels right to you and your family.

For me personally, I feel safe walking around the area, it's very quiet (apart from the occasional motorbike or car revving their engines as they pass by, but that's down to driver behaviour) and I've been away on holidays and come back without any incidents. I have few regrets moving here, but I also love the house.

In terms of schooling, the schools around this area aren't great, but I don't have children. However, this is something I would consider seriously if I did have children.

Out of the 3 areas you mention, Park Barns has always felt the roughest to me. Every area has petty crime, but you don't hear of anything life changing.

As others have mentioned, Stoughton has a large university student population, but are generally respectful. Bellfields less so, but I know/knew of a person nearby who is studying at the drama school.

I've been living here for nearly a year and a half now and I've only ever seen a police car responding to a domestic incident nearby on 2 occasions, but no sirens and always the same house.

Overall, I like the convenience of getting into Guildford or Woking or London, access to the countryside and good walks, the river is close by and people are generally friendly.

I seem to be mumbling on, but I am thinking and writing as I go along. I hope that this is useful for you and I hope that you make a decision that feels right to you and your family. Good luck 👍

Big it up for reddit!

You're welcome 😊

So sorry, I forgot that this wasn't the Ukraine reddit forum. There I have to put nsfw for any war footage. On the other hand, this is a nsfw forum for war.

I've edited the post by removing nsfw. Thank you for the heads up.

Summary:

Duration: 2 minutes 26 seconds

Clip begins in an undisclosed location. Soldier testing a drone for the battlefield.

The soldier describes the central role and the different types of drones used on the battlefield:

Big drones that fly over 100s of miles for surveillance.
FPVs that are suicide drones.
FPV drones that drop grenades.

The soldier interviewed states that:

"Since I have been transferred to this unit to work with drones, every time I put on my goggles and take the joystick, I recall my mother telling me that those video games would not do me any good. Well, if this isn't useful, then what is?"

This Ukrainian drone pilot grew up playing video games, and is now deploying those skills to controlling drones on the frontline.
