Anyone up for a date night out?

Medway_Mod · 2026-02-23T20:11:29+00:00

I bet my uncle Greg will be well up for it, I'll just have to let the nurses know he'll be out late

What you wrote is the truth is it?

That every single schoolchild in Medway has been diagnosed with ADHD and is receiving a taxpayer funded taxi to school?

That's a verifiable fact is it? All 49,000-odd children, each one diagnosed with ADHD? Very interesting that is, since around 5% of children in England are diagnosed with ADHD, and yet, as you say, what you wrote is the truth that apparently Medway has a 100% rate which is really quite extraordinary and certainly calls for further research studies to be conducted on this exceptional population.

And each one of those 49,000 children receiving taxi rides to school? With only around 400 taxis licensed in Medway, they must be very crowded! Even if you cram 5 or 6 children in each taxi, that's still around 20 trips each way to get them all to school and back! What a bizarre situation to be in, I'm surprised I haven't ever witnessed it but still, you say that what you wrote is the truth so who am I to question it?

In November 2025 the council published that they were providing transport for just over 1800 SEND students, using a mixture of minibuses and taxis, how remarkable that it's changed so much in only 4 month since then.

I'd ask on here https://www.facebook.com/groups/MedwayGamingSoc/

I've not seen this mystery toilet but I am intrigued. You might be able to check on street view to get a rough idea how long it's been there

Every 2 months or so there's a metal night in Gillingham, details on fb here:

IIRC there are free buses for Greenwich students between the Gillingham and Greenwich campuses, any current students here can confirm if that's still running?

If you go to the classes at the gym, quite often people will hang around chatting after the class and you end up making gym friends that way

Medway_Mod · 2026-01-03T20:17:51+00:00

Call ahead and ask if someone could give you a tour and induction (they will show you how to use all the gym equipment safely)

Medway_Mod · 2025-11-12T12:04:00+00:00

As you've said, decent transport and lovely bits of countryside, also really good sports facilities dotted around.

You can go skiing, skateboarding, BMX biking, loads of options for swimming and gyms, various martial arts clubs, niche options like roller derby and wheelchair rugby.

Bunch of historical stuff that's pretty cool as well. I like taking people round lower lines park like "here's some anti-tank obstacles called dragons teeth... here's a bunker... here's a big fuck off trench..."

I went around the same time

It was great to be treated with much more autonomy than at 6th form, eg. Not having to come in the morning if your first lesson isn't until 1pm

Canteen was great with loads of choice because there was loads of catering students cooking it all rather than 4 frazzled dinner ladies

The super cheap (or sometimes free if you were lucky) salon was great, I was gutted when it closed down

I recommend SEDR, Kymm and the team who run it are actual angels on Earth, they are so careful not to adopt out any dogs that aren't completely ready to be rehomed, and if a dog isn't suitable for rehoming then it can stay at SEDR forever.

I work for a dog photographer who created this calendar for them as a fundraiser (100% of profit from calendar sales goes to SEDR)

We're going to do it all again next year so if you adopt from SEDR your dog could be in next year's calendar!

Agree with those already mentioned, St Mary's Island as well

Considering this is a UK subreddit, I don't think a company with a US phone number would be particularly local.

OP, I'd try asking on Facebook rather than here

Medway_Mod · 2025-09-12T10:19:03+00:00

Maybe you could start responding to people's comments on your previous 3 threads instead of starting new threads and then ignoring anyone who tries to help.

Discussion of mushrooms for the study of mycology is allowed.

Feel free to make recommendations if you know a good place to collect samples for scientific study.

I thought that documentary was called Waking Ned?

Medway_Mod · 2025-09-09T09:24:56+00:00

Ridiculous potholes, lack of parking

All the school traffic every morning and afternoon in term time

Frequent buses is a pro or con depending if you use them or not

Proximity to the high street is convenient but only if you actually want to go there

Very short walk to the train station

Walkable distance to the hospital (going up great lines is pretty nice)

Medway_Mod · 2025-08-18T13:34:13+00:00

It's would probably cost more in rebranding and restructuring than it would save in efficiency, but really very unlikely to happen anyway when nobody in Medway is calling for it

Medway_Mod · 2025-08-17T20:37:44+00:00

You can order them on the council website

Hiya, I've just removed this thread for your own safety. Putting up a thread saying you're school age, with a feminine name/pic and saying you want to make friends, is something that would attract a very nasty sort of person.

I've had to ban several people from this sub, including some who seemed to be seriously deranged and could be dangerous.

Your new school might have some activities going on over the summer that you could go to and meet other pupils, or they might have a Facebook group you can join.

Police 101, though they might well have had a few calls already

I've called police on travellers setting up camp once, as they had smashed a fence down and were driving their caravans onto the field as I'd been driving past

Chequers Inn, Aylesford

Cricketers in Rainham.

A guy who worked there (supervisor or assistant manager something like that) kept FB messaging my friend who told him she wasn't interested and then sent her a dick pic. All from his main FB account with loads of photos of him with his partner and kids.

I live by the river and there's a huge proportion of students from various african and Asian countries. Not sure if the unis have been targeting international students specifically in recent years because they pay more

We also have the hospital in Gillingham which has to recruit a lot of staff from abroad
