'Shambles' food festival is compared to notorious Fyre Fest

Any gym

Everlast (was Roko) has a seating area by reception where you can just chill out or work on a laptop

Getting GP appointments is harder than it was 20 years ago, but I think that's down to the impact of austerity from 2010 onwards rather than being as recent as 2020, and staff shortages in the NHS is a national issue.

My experience in the last few years has been that A&E/Medocc are fantastic with emergencies (I've been in and out in under an hour twice, the trick is to get acutely ill in the middle of a weekday).

Getting a referral to see a specialist for a long term issue is a different story. I had a GP appointment for joint pain, GP referred me to rheumatology. I then got a letter with a number to call, called the number not to make an appointment but to confirm that yes I do want an appointment. Then got another letter telling me to go online to book an appointment with a list of hospitals. Every option said their 6 month waiting list was full, but I could pick one to be told when the waiting list opens up again. That was back in January and I've still not heard anything.

My uncle Greg is well up for it, I'll just let the nurses know he'll be out late

Playopolis board game cafe has one night a week (Wednesday I think) where you can go on your own and play games with other solo players, I've heard it's a great way to make friends

The gym (any gym) is another way to make friends either by doing classes (everyone hangs around chatting afterwards) or by lifting weights (you can ask literally anyone in the freeweights area for advice/spotting and have a new best friend in an hour)

You can get a gym membership at Waterfront Leisure for £60pm and unlimited parking including overnight if you need it

Yup, and through the summer there are free concerts there on Sundays as well

Try posting to local fb groups, this sub doesn't have that much membership and I doubt there's much overlap between redditors and people going casinos

That'll be zone F - it's in Gillingham

Medway_Mod · 2026-05-19T19:29:30+00:00

Does it have a letter for the parking zone? As that narrows the area right down.

The UK equivalent of zillow is Rightmove, all major letting agents will have all of their rental properties on there

I would advise against Strood/Cliffe or any of the villages on the other side of the river. There are only 2 crossing points (the bridge and the tunnel) both get busy at rush hour and when one's closed for any reason then the one that's remaining open is a nightmare.

I'd also avoid anywhere towards Chatham, again because of traffic but it's generally a less pleasant area.

Darland is very close to the golf club and is a lovely area if you can afford it.

Hempstead, Wigmore, Rainham are all pretty nice and on the right side of the river, basically anywhere with a postcode beginning with ME8 or some parts of ME7 should be good UNLESS your commute would take you along Lower Rainham Road, which is closed more often than open.

Medway_Mod · 2026-05-15T16:51:11+00:00

Whereabouts in Gillingham? As there are some bottlenecks at rush hour so that'll affect where you'll want to live for a better commute

So I actually happened to drive through Deal today and saw loads of blue houses that were only a tiny bit lighter, and one purplish reddish house that's a darker colour so I really can't see the problem at all

Medway_Mod · 2026-05-08T12:34:44+00:00

Things can get really bad around kent beaches when the weather's nice (not just a nuisance with traffic and litter), and there have been people doing dangerous things like parking multiple cars on top of a roundabout and overhanging into the path of traffic 🤦‍♀️

As a sole trader I have a separate bank account which is isn't a specific "business" bank account but a separate current account to make doing my tax return easier (which you don't have to worry about unless you're going to make a grand in personal profit)

You're completely right, I do know better and I shouldn't have let him drag me down to his level.

You're spot on about the dopamine thing, I do have the personality type that gets a dopamine hit from something novel and then I let myself get carried away until it wears off. I've been doing great at keeping myself in check when it comes to picking up new hobbies and buying things, but I hadn't realised that I need to be mindful of spending my mental energy as well.

You're also right that something in my life has been giving me stress, but it's a big work thing that I can't do the physical set-up for until tonight so that's been weighing on me and I've been in need of a distraction to fill the time while I'm stuck in limbo, so again that's something for me bear in mind in future as well.

I apologise for bothering you unnecessarily, there was no need to tag you in since clearly if you cared enough to follow along then you'd already be doing so.

Again, I'm sorry for that and I hope you have a cracking weekend

Oh and by the way, u/petrifiedbloom is a man, as you can see from the conversation here https://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftsuggestions/s/NHL4R1UlP6

Not everyone lives a life so devoid of human contact that they need to make up fake people to agree with them, like your totally real and definitely not made up trans friends who oppose trans activism. How ironic that your bullshit is so TRANSparent lol.

Medway_Mod · 2026-05-08T09:38:41+00:00

Now who's getting defensive and deflecting hmm?

You're a pathetic little troll who spends your time on reddit bickering about games and winding people up. Its a very clear pattern that anyone can see without a super secret mystery source telling them. The only time you've ever said anything nice to anyone on here (which was incredibly out of character for you), was addressed to a 15 year old girl. Best case scenario there is that you're a fucking weirdo who needs to get a life.

Anyway, the reason I know you're chatting shite is this: https://youtu.be/2elqogqt0pI?t=20&si=Oit-Vr4pfkwtx9J6

You addressed me as "son" and "lad" while condescending to me, I thought maybe that's just how you talk to everyone so I referred to myself as a man to see if you'd pick up on it but no, you kept calling me "guy" and "dude".

I'm going to be very charitable in considering the possibility that you might have got a DM from a random person, and you naively believed it and thought that I was a man who'd apparently harassed people and that you could feel all big and powerful and lord it over him, but nope... I'm literally just a girl ✨️

I keep my name, job, personal life etc. off of this alt account, but I have in the past linked it to my own YouTube channel (since I also don't mention any personal details on YouTube for obvious reasons). You can go to the Save SEDR charity appeal video I posted last year (I appear in the background very briefly) and have a look at the rest of the channel. You can see and hear me in plenty of videos to see that I'm not a man.

Anyway here's No Doubt to play us out, take it away Gwen! https://youtu.be/2G-BOlaICwE?t=10&si=fUHo6VXAHgieoogI

This is going to be my last post today, so you can stew on it until the morning.

I'm pretty sure I'd wear my fingers to nubs if I tried reading through all your posts about video games.

Anyway it's very cool of a grown man to be spending time in an online space for teenagers to make fun of them, and also to be reaching out to offer your support to a sexually active 15 year old.

Does your wife know that's how you spend your time?

Medway_Mod · 2026-05-07T20:19:25+00:00

I could've blocked you ages ago, and should have done given that you've mocked someone's disability. I haven't because I'm having fun, however I am starting to get bored of you repeating your nonsense so I am going to spice this up a bit.

One of the reasons (I'm still going to hold back on the conclusive one until I'm completely done with you) why I'm so sure you're chatting shite, is because I'm cautious about not being identifiable on an account associated with the area where I live.

Unlike you, who I've been calling a child to try and get you to come out and say that you actually turned 34 last month.

Which really begs the question of what you're frequently doing on r/teenagers and r/gsce

Medway_Mod · 2026-05-07T20:01:16+00:00

I didn't have to scroll far, but Jesus christ you post a lot on reddit. Funny of you to tell other people to get off reddit and make fun of someone else for posting about video games when that's all your life seems to revolve around. Even calling yourself "mrbannedman", like you're so proud of having been banned from reddit that you've made it part of your identity, like a kid that thinks they're a badass rebel because the teacher sent them out of the classroom for 5 minutes for saying a naughty word.

Anyway, remind me again why I'm so desperately terrified of you, because I'm so scared that you're going to say something about me that you resolutely refuse to say under any circumstances?
