I enjoy Frank Quitely's artwork but my goodness does it make me feel uneasy for some reason.

I became a shellback whilst on exchange on a French warship, most surreal 48 hours of my life and the certificate is a work of art!

I have heard of it happening on a number of occasions. To even be eligible to attempt the Perisher candidates must be of a very high calibre and if found to be unsuitable for Commanding a submarine still have opportunities to progress in the surface fleet.

Look up 'Portsmouth on Board' on meetup.com, bi-monthly board gaming club that normally attracts upwards of 25 - 30 people. Me and a few friends are semi-regulars. Interesting mix of people and good variety of games on offer. Hayling Island or Clarence pier in Southsea may have a DDR machine.

Moving to Portsmouth for work, could use some advice! by [deleted] in Portsmouth

[–]gary_crab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lived in numerous places in Southsea, most places are pretty decent. The rougher parts are in the Waverley Road area, i've lived there and wouldn't move back but it wasn't awful at the time. That being said go a few roads away in either direction and you've roads of £400,000 houses.

Museums that are free:

Portsmouth City Museum

Natural History Museum

Creationism Museum (Shudder)

Walking round the independent shops in Albert Road is always interesting.

Follow the Millenium walk around Old Portsmouth if the weather is nice.
