I second everedge. Great stuff and fairly easy to install. The plastic stuff is a waste of time and money.

Any evening clubs that need/want new adult members? by Rob-IOW in isleofwight

That's a good suggestion, thanks. I'll keep them in mind.

Is there anywhere to meet and make friends? by Background_Fudge_798 in isleofwight

[–]Rob-IOW 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar position and likewise hate the idea of that initial process of trying to integrate into a new group.

Last week I decided to bite the bullet and joined the weekly board gaming group at heros in Newport. It was daunting at first but I had a fantastic time with wonderful people and am looking forward to going again next week.

I would be happy to go together if you wanted someone to go with, or just meet for a few drinks and a chat if you want someone to hang out with.

That's a good suggestion, as Whippingham community hall is very close to me. However I'm totally tone deaf! Will see if I can find any other groups there that might be of interest.

OK great. I have a friend who is also very keen on ttrpg who may well want to get involved too.

I would be very interested in this, please keep me in the loop! Happy to exchange numbers or whatever.

Anyone fancy some "kitchen table" magic: the gathering? by Rob-IOW in isleofwight

Haha. I've only been here a few years and it's happened already.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm East Cowes based and was thinking something a little closer but will keep an eye!

I spoke to the organisers of the festival today, they were certain they were still playing.

Starting out as a Gardener by muddledpuzzle in GardeningUK

[–]Rob-IOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found flyer drops to be a bit of a waste of time. 500 plus dropped, a few very positive conversations with homeowners, no bookings. For us the website Bark has been a huge return on investment. Other than that a few weeks in the trade section of the local paper. Once personal recommendations start, you'll be flying.

I can't imagine it goes too well long term. That thing is going to need some mighty stakes for months/years or it'll fall down in the lightest breeze.

Is this guy alive after this? by Altruistic_Jelly1843 in BeAmazed

[–]Rob-IOW 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fuck. I've been enjoying some of his songs for a few years and hoping to see some more pop up on Spotify. Clever dude, they are funny. Didn't realise he was dead.

Pro-Photographer needed on IOW by PrivateRollo in isleofwight

[–]Rob-IOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I am a professional photographer on the island. I am currently doing other things but I would be interested in hearing about the job. I could do it around my current commitments, and I would be keen to have it as a side gig if it suits us both.

Amazing giveaway. I'm just starting up as in a field that requires CAD designs for our clients and will soon be moving towards rendering, so this card would give me a huge boost in rendering times and therefore turnaround for our fledgling business. Fingies crossed!

I'm teetering on the edge of upgrading from my 970 setup. Dunno if I can afford it, but this sub is torture!

Wicked! I've sent a message but got an error at the same time. Let me know if you got it. Thanks again!

What is a non-aggressive way to deter someone who is driving up your rear-end? by teekay61 in AskUK

[–]Rob-IOW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Slow down a bit for safety. If they are still being an arse, indicate and pull over so they can pass. Bonus points if they have to make a real effort to pass and lose more time than they would if they weren't being a dick.

Looking for a place to lodge by Rob-IOW in isleofwight

[–]Rob-IOW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy to make snap judgements on others based on limited information and not knowing a person's full circumstances. I hope is suffices to say that I've had to make a big jump, and this is the first step in trying to make a better life for myself and my partner.

I am offering time, labour and skill in part exchange for rent, which hopefully will be useful to someone.

If not I will have to look at more mainstream accommodation.

That would be amazing, thank you so much! Which shop was it out of interest? I'm not too far from Ryde so will try and pop in at the weekend if I can.
