  1. For #SchiffSamstag here's a hovercraft which isn't technically a ship or a boat, and even though travelling on it is called a flight I don't consider it a plane either. Whatever. This one was coming across from the Isle of Wight and about to land at Southsea in 2011.

  3. I don’t post here very often; too many networks to cover! I’ll pop back occasionally to check notifications. You can find me on BlueSky

  4. A fine cultural evening of instrumental mellifluousness at the Wedge last night; gloriously wonky tweaked beats courtesy of Secret Self, elegiac looped strings from violinist/violist Marina Moore and, to headline, the dark, ambient electronica of Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan (which is one the best band names of recent times).

    With each set was complemented by animated visuals I could enjoy the mesmerising images alongside the music or, by closing my eyes, enjoy the soundtrack to the movie in my mind.

  8. A fab nighht of live music at the Wedge, courtesy of Pompey's own Fake Empire and a hand-picked selection of local support bands, all for less than the cost of two beers.

    With a curated line-up, and acts split between the main stage and the smaller Edge space, the evening had a familiar festival vibe (reminiscent of Dials and the much missed SputhseaFest, both of which took advantage of the Wedge's two room set up, and the upcoming Night Currents)

    A great way both to showcase local talent and entertain music lovers on a wet Saturday night, all in Southsea's excellent Wedgewood Rooms. Lovely.

  12. The Hover Travel terminal in Southsea has all the charm of an unimproved 1980s railway waiting room (which to be fair, it pretty much is).

    Not setting us up for a great #hovercraft experience.
    I hope it's not full of eels.

  14. UK Pride will be hosted by Portsmouth next weekend and here's hoping that the weather will be as glorious then as it is here today. The weather app says "not so much" but I've learnt not to trust it.

    Our niece likes going and we took her last year because her mum couldn't go. This year we'll all be heading down, though.

  15. Already posted in repsonse to the person who made me aware of #SquirrelSaturday but here's the #squirrel again for others who're interested. Where I live we only have the #redsquirrel. This is a screenshot of a 2012 #photograph I took of a rare #albinosquirrel in #Southsea where they have #greysquirrels so I assume that this one is grey with a lack of melanin. I often risked being late for work trying to spot it to get a #picture.

  16. Another apartment block shot for because I like these sorts of photos where there are little details of everyday life everywhere. This was taken in Southsea, the southern part of our home city of Portsmouth back in 2014 on a warm, bright, May day.

  21. For #MeerMittwoch here are four girls enjoying the sea at Southsea, Portsmouth many years ago, so that would make this stretch of water the Solent. These days I wouldn't personally go into the sea there as it's not particularly nice, but back in 2011 it was quite possibly lovely.

  22. Easily the best thing I saw at #VictoriousFestival at the weekend were #Melbourne's awesome Amyl & The Sniffers, a rip-roaring snarl of a set that tore across the Castle Stage.

    Chunky riffs, choice barbs and apparently powered by #Jagermeister, Amy Taylor & co rocked the soul. A beautifully raucous way to wrap up a Saturday night.

  23. Seeing a few shares of that Crooked House pub burning down in definitely not-at-all-suspicious circumstances recently has reminded me when Harry Redknapp definitely wasn't involved in something similar down our way.

  24. Another Stormy day on the Solent;
    Wightlink Ferries ‘Victoria of Wight’ and Hovertravel’s Hovercraft ‘Solent Flyer’ making light of the weather

  25. It hasn’t been very summery this July. Taken in Portsmouth on the 31st: Wightlink Ferries ‘St. Clare’; Hovertravel’s ‘Solent Flyer’; Clarence Pier and water pouring from the Long Curtain Moat.

  26. My #ThrowbackThursday photo this week is a school class photo from the mid-1980s. This was at St John's College, Southsea; an all boys private school at the time, run by the De La Salle brothers. I was in Alan House (pretty much the Gryffindor of St John's) and in this photo you can this year's teacher Brother Gerard there front and centre. I'm middle row, second from the left.

  27. For #ThrowbackThursday here's a shot from 1982 when my family - like so many other families in #Portsmouth - headed down to #Southsea to see off the task force setting sail for the #Falklands following the invasion by Argentina. That is the aircraft carrier #HMSHermes in shot as our family was friends with another, the father of which ran the boiler rooms aboard.

  28. Legendary DJ duo #Hipshaker return to the food court this weekend, serving up hot #Soul & phat #Funk at #Portsmouth's Outside-In.

    DJs Simon & Dave will be joined by guest DJs Dom Cater & Boogalou, with a special appearance by #Corduroy's #bass player, Richard Searle.

    Local station #ExpressFM will be broadcasting from the venue as well, listen online from 1900 at expressfm.com
