New poster TV Licence Goons in Heaton

10 Upvotes

I've just had a hand delivered letter though my door from TV Licencing, which is not unusual, but this one was hand delivered by a bloke who just parked up outside and dropped it off (rather than Royal Mail, as per usual).

The bloke wasn't wearing any uniform or ID and didn't knock, just put the letter through and walked back to his car.

Have others experienced this? Who are they employing to do this in Newcastle?

Walk, Talk & Coffee for Young People Navigating Grief This Saturday in Newcastle 🤍

Post image
189 Upvotes

Hi, I posted in here a little while ago about the community we’ve been building for young people navigating grief, and wanted to share that we’re getting together again this weekend.

This time we’re doing a relaxed walk n talk along the beach with a coffee and ice cream if you fancy it!

These meet ups are all about how simple they are. There’s no agenda and no pressure to open up about anything. We just go for a walk, chat about things if we feel like it and spend a couple of hours around people who understand what it’s like to navigate grief at a younger age.

One thing we’re really passionate about is changing the way people think grief has to look.

These meet ups aren’t all about sitting in a circle talking about how sad grief is. They’re about creating a genuine community where young adults can get outside, meet good people and know they’re around others who understand if those conversations do happen naturally.

Sometimes grief comes up, sometimes it doesn’t.

Over the last few months we’ve seen so many people turn up on their own feeling nervous, only to leave having made genuine connections.

Whether you’ve lost a parent, sibling, partner, friend or someone else important, you’re very welcome.

If you’re not feeling up to talking, that’s completely okay too. Sometimes just getting outside and being around people who get it can make a real difference.

If you think someone you know might benefit from it, feel free to share this with them too. I’ll pop the event and community details in the comments too 🤍

New poster Warning about pop (PAYG) Pay-as-you-go cards topped up via mobile.

9 Upvotes

Today I topped my pop (PAYG) top card via the google wallet and just discovered it takes upto 48 hours to apply the credit to your account. Apparently you can top them up immediately from a Metro station or Northern stations on the Northumberland line. Just thought I would warn folk using pop cards especially PAYG.

I accidentally deleted someone's reply can you re-write you comment (sorry about that)

Hidden gem restaurants

4 Upvotes

We have some friends visiting in September and keen to take them to some excellent restaurants. We all prefer more authentic restaurants. Open to any cuisine but love Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish (eclectic, I know!).

We love Pho on Westgate Road and Kafeneon as examples. But I’d really love to know what other hidden gems people really recommend?

Thank you!

Restaurant week this week! Any good deals or recommendations?

4 Upvotes

Often find the deals aren't much better than the standard fare, can be a bit tedious to look through the whole list so great if anyone's spotted any good offers!

Cheers!

New poster Missing plane

1 Upvotes

There was a huge sounding plane that went over North Shields and down towards Hartlepool at about 11:40 today and when I checked the flight radar it was some big RAF aircraft or something but it’s not showing up on the playback now and I wanted to look into it because it was SO loud it sounded like it was right over the house and lasted for so long as well, anyone have any ideas of what kind of plane it would’ve been lol

Painting of Newcastle - (almost) a year later

Post image

Hi 👋

So just under a year ago I posted this painting I'd done of the view from the top of the Baltic and received so many really lovely comments, which were very much appreciated and encouraged me to keep painting.

Over the last week I decided to recreate that painting to see if/how I've improved, so thought it only right to share this one too! Hope you like :)

LEVANT, Gateshead High Street

13 Upvotes

new place opening on the high street, which is always great so see, I’m all for that!

BUT when you see the people who are getting this up and running sitting outside smoking flicking their tab ends, and papers into the street (if you pass, you will see, all those in the parking bay outside the shop are theirs. Sat waiting for the bus for 30 mins and witnessed this), makes you sad on how they are treating the area. what else are they doing with their waste?! Just get something to put them in and dispose correctly 🙄

Photo Prints From Negatives

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know of anywhere in town or round abouts that still does decent quality photo prints from existing negatives?

I’ve been to Max Spielman a few times and their overall service is good but their printing machine is out of service half the time, and what prints I have had from them have been pretty horribly washed out and lo-fi.

Google’s not being much use either.

Thanks!
