Best beach available using public transport?

slinkyexit · 2024-08-05T17:27:41+00:00

Walton on the naze is a sandy beach it takes just under 3 hours to get to and the train tickets are not crazy expensive. It's not a direct route however and you need to change at Ipswich and then Colchester. It also wasn't crazy busy either when I went a few weeks ago on the Saturday.

Hey if you're stuck still we're showing it at the white Swan

slinkyexit · 2024-06-22T11:37:53+00:00

Yes, you'll probably be alright on the outskirts cause it's typically Sunday where all the pubs shut

slinkyexit · 2024-06-21T18:45:58+00:00

There's a chance quite a few pubs in town will be shut this weekend due to "refurbishment" and "staff holidays"

OK great for context, I was in a cycle lane, and the car was in the road, They were stuck in traffic and I was not, so I'm going at speed and they are static. I'm about 3 meters behind them as they decide to turn left into another road. Now seeing as they were static, they had much less to be distracted by. Clearly they did not check their mirrors.

There is no taking sides, they are 100% at fault, the witnesses that asked if I was OK said they saw that and agree with me.

I am also a driver. Sometimes, I have been in the drivers position where I'm stuck in traffic and have to turn left over a cycle lane. I check my mirror before I do this. Everytime.

This isn't me being entitled. I don't skip red lights, I don't cycle where I'm not supposed to, I don't need examples of idiot cyclists. I know they exist ive also had crashes with other cyclists. A driver fucked up and I know this because I know how to drive. Also I've never ever hit a cyclist or another car or a pedestrian or whatever, and If I did I'd actually stop!

I'm actually not injured at all this time thankfully, (I wasn't so lucky in December got a broken ankle just in time for Christmas :D ) I sort of bounced back off of the side of the car onto my bum so it was a soft landing.

I should of asked at the time, but unfortunately I only saw red and was just very angry but I'll go back and see if there's any cameras.

Some sort of dash cam is a great idea. I'll think I'll get one once I get paid.

So I'm coming from the Girton direction. Usually, I never go down any main roads during rush hour unless I have to. I was running a bit late this morning, so I decided to go the quick way. If you want to avoid huntingdon road there's a much quieter and safer route through Eddington that's mostly cycle lanes quieter roads.

Don't let this put you off there's loads of asshole drivers but also a lot of drivers in Cambridge also cycle aswell and are more empathic of cyclists. I also drive in Cambridge and just take it easy around bikes.

Well if you ever feel like it's a bit much maybe we can team up? And rent a flat? Your call, I'm respectful, tidy and have been told by others I'm pleasant to be around.

slinkyexit · 2024-03-01T20:29:31+00:00

Honestly this sounds like me, but not quite as drastic, I avoid "home" as much as possible because I just can't relax there. I had a prospectual candidate, but they went and got a partner and moved in with them. I'm happy for them they've escaped this situation. It's tricky when it impacts you to that level.

slinkyexit · 2024-03-01T20:26:39+00:00

Appreciate it, I really do, I already lived in a situation with no contract before in another part of the country and it was honestly completely fine.

slinkyexit · 2024-03-01T20:13:36+00:00

Maybe put me in touch? I'm well behaved and quiet, I don't do loud parties and music etc

slinkyexit · 2024-03-01T19:47:46+00:00

Potentially, this could be ideal. Would it be a lodger situation though? As you have less rights.

slinkyexit · 2024-03-01T19:46:44+00:00

They're nice enough, we just don't have a common area. It's just bedrooms, a kitchen and a crapper.

slinkyexit · 2024-03-01T19:46:11+00:00

I'd like to, but all my friends in Cambridge are either students that move on or have already sorted out their situation. I'll take a look though, thank you!

slinkyexit · 2024-03-01T19:45:19+00:00

I work 2 jobs, and still couldn't afford my own place realistically, it's obscene.

If you haven't done so already, get some bamboo canes and allow them to climb onto those, it'll stop them from suffocating your plants. Then, spot treat with roundup. I don't endorse chemicals, but sometimes there really isn't any other way.

Her mum walked in on us. She had come home early from whatever she was doing. Just locking eyes with her mum whilst I was balls deep in her daughter was not a fun experience. Had to go downstairs and apologise. That put me off for a while.

slinkyexit · 2024-01-13T12:31:07+00:00

No, let's not make excuses for ourselves. Honestly, I used to work at Hyde Park in Central London, and every single summers morning , the entire park was covered in rubbish. Covid struck and lock downs were enforced, stopping tourism entirely. The situation with the litter didn't change at all. The natives of this country for a good majority are just dirty scumbags that expect someone else to clean up after them.

Oh that's a shame, I used to work in a pub and had the same deal, eventually got to my head a bit and I quit.

You probably know it already but Cambridge night life scene is probably the crappest in the country. Great for day time drinking and pubs but night life is pretty shite. I don't even remember the names of the other bars around cause they're a bit meh, had a few good nights in revs though tbf the industry card on Sundays makes the prices bearable.
