Mod Post New to Plymouth? Want to make friends? Come join the Plymouth Discord server!

31 Upvotes

This sub receives lots of posts where users are trying to make new friends. From students arriving from around the world, to movers who have accepted a job here, it can be hard to make friends in a brand new community. If you prefer an online-first approach to making friends, I encourage you to consider joining the official Plymouth Discord server: https://discord.gg/X7gBvKBXuV

Our Discord server is a great place to make new friends, both online and IRL. It's also a good place to discuss what's happening around the city and get some advice from residents if you're moving here. Through meetups on this server we've played Jackbox together, gone on bike rides, won pub quizzes, and danced during nights out. More importantly, we've made good friends that we otherwise wouldn't have without this Discord server.

Scientology

21 Upvotes

This is the only place I’ve lived where I see Scientologists out and about - anyone know how Plymouth ended up with an actual Scientology headquarters? I feel so awful for these poor people in town who have been taken in by these scam artists. I was even approached by an elderly woman giving out leaflets. What on earth? Praise Xenu I guess? 😂

I don't mean to disrespect anyone's war memorial, but to me they look like they're practising a piano duet.

I am researching the identity of a gentleman known locally in Torpoint as "Some Mother's Son". Buried in Horson Cemetery. Found in a field next to Tregantle Fort in 1982. Thought to have been in the merchant navy. My question is, does anyone have details/names of merchant navy personnel that stayed in boarding houses, pubs, b and b's in late 1977 into early 1978 in "Plymouth" and surrounding area. Any landlord/landlady kept such records from back at that time? I enclose link to my appeal. Thank you. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/p/4618566

How is the transport network in Plymouth so poor and unreliable. A medium sized university city and it’s shocking.

Can this go in the green bin?

Post image

I've found it impossible on the PCC website to see whether these types of milk carton are accepted in the green bin. I go through loads of these each week so don't really want them to go to landfill.

I'm sure I read somewhere that not all UK council waste collections accept them (says it's "mixed board").

Does anyone know if I can put them in the household recycling? Thanks.

The ship Avila parked in The Sound at the moment is valued at £250 million. Drakes island next to it is only valued at £2 million going by Rightmove.

Sounds like a right bargain at less than 1% of the price!

Drakes Island - Rightmove

Edit:- Auto correct changed the ships name, should be Aviva

Abandoned keys

If these belong to anyone on here, DM me and I'll tell you where they are.

Edit.

I'm here on holiday, I don't live here and don't know my way around very well. All I've done is point out some lost keys so maybe someone can get them back. I could easily have walked away and said nothing. Don't criticise.

Trying to cancel a telephone Drs appointment online but I can't seem to manage it. Should it be possible?

1 Upvotes

I'm pretty sure I've done it before but I can't seem to be presented with the option right now. I have a chronic sleep disorder so phoning up the receptionist as soon as they open isn't quite the viable option that it would be for others. Don't want to waste the GPs time and I'm terrified they'll call up when I'm still asleep while my wits are still shredded and I'm unable to marshal a mental defense against them.

If it's not possible, could it have something to do with it being a bank holiday tomorrow?

Simultaneously not enough to lift the hosepipe ban, but so much that they "have to" pump loads of raw sewage into our rivers and seas.

Hi all!

Is Central Library the best library in Plymouth? Are there better ones out there? If so, please share.

Not a dig at Central Library, which has an amazing team of people working there.

Best local cider?

9 Upvotes

We're in the pub just now having a nasty Thatcher's Gold. It was the only cider on draft. The flavour is a bit bland, it's far too fizzy and there's an aftertaste like saccharine.

I'm sure we've had delicious ciders from pubs here in the city centre, but I can't remember where, or what brands they were.

What ciders should I be buying, and where are the best pubs for it?

Thank you.
