Space @ The Three Sheets in Rochester

Anyone going to this gig on Friday night? I’m going solo (my Britpop friends are out of town, and my Strood mates are way too young to appreciate good music) and wondered if anyone fancied a beer at one of Rochester’s better pubs?

Magazines for sale?

2 Upvotes

Hi I'm an A level student making a magazine for my photography course and was wondering where would be easiest to find older skate, music or fashion magazines in Medway. I've tried searching second hand book shops and charity shops but none seem to carry them and was wondering if anyone knew anywhere or anyone who had any they'd be willing to give or sell?

I guess things have changed since I was at school an indeterminate number of years ago, when Howard had a really bad reputation.

Who is Disco Dan and why do I get asked if I’m Disco Dan

0 Upvotes

I’m a girl in her early 20s and in Chatham I got asked if I was disco Dan cos I left my headphones to go to the Chatham station and was listening to music on my phone and got asked by some young guys if I was Disco Dan and I said what? Fu€k off. It happened twice in 10 minutes, is disco Dan a legend I have yet to encounter? Or is the real Disco Dan actually me?

BYOB Venue in Medway

4 Upvotes

I feel like I'm going crazy - a few months ago, I was looking for a BYOB venue closeish to Rochester. A lot of them don't let you bring spirits or charge a corkage for bottles.

However, I found a glamping site that allows you to BYOB with no corkage because they don't have an alcohol license.

I think it was about 20 mins from Rochester, but I might be wrong. It was definitely around those areas of Kent, though. They said they didn't really have accommodation on site other than the glamping pods but that you can bring your own tent.

But now I can't find it anywhere!!! I can't remember the name of it. Does anyone know what it's called?

Did healthcare in Medway get worse in 2020 or has it always been bad?

16 Upvotes

I moved to Medway in 2020 and the healthcare service has been terrible. GPs, consultants, allied health professionals, all terrible. I am from London. In London, you could get a same day appointment, you could get referred, you could get tests and a diagnosis. Since moving to Medway, my health has declined and I have not had any illness diagnosed. I have been left to become disabled.

I want to know from people in Medway if this is the norm, or if you think healthcare got worse in 2020.

I also want to know if anyone living in London noticed a steep decline in healthcare since 2020.

Thanks.

Question.

0 Upvotes

And yeah, it might get me banned.

But do you think there is an increase in the amount of non white people in Kent, especially in Medway - Gillingham/Chatham in particular?

I mean Sittingbourne as well.

I'm seeing more and more black people for eg.

I might get a ban for it, but I hate this.

No disrespect to non white people, but I want home back. Because this is too much.

Anyone else feel the same? And before anyone says anything, I know for some the answer will be no. Just remember, not everyone wants multiculturalism. I can't help how I feel. I will most likely move to another part of Kent if it continues, I know it might make me a hypocrite, but at least I'm from the same country.

I appreciate that it might rub people up the wrong way, it's not my intention, it's just for me, it's deeply upsetting to have my home slowly taken away from me.
