@xTRYB_Media Would you not be better off kicking by the hinges? Sure it’s extra kicks but much weaker with only a few screws holding the door on

A thread of 20 Survival Tips And Tricks You Might Not Have Known Before. 1. How to break a door

If you were at the top Langford car park driving an old light coloured Fiesta (light blue maybe) and heard a car beeping that’d be me. Your kid twice opened their door into my car door, while I was in it, you drive off, I’ve now a chipped door. Thanks arsehole.

@gibbonarms99 @mpw_ There are a great many skate parks built or being built 🙄

@mpw_ @thenorthface There’s fuck all for them to do over here.

1/ Short wander through St Helier town... passed 3 packs of pre-mid teens, all dressed in a uniform of ferral chavs (black joggers, black hoodie & black gilet @thenorthface being preference it seems) occasionally a black balaclava. Just roaming about being unnecessarily loud

I’ve made the jump, not much Jersey content over there but we can change that, come say hello 👋 @adam-brown.bsky.social

On ferries I’m told St Malo only has two berths (ports or docks or whatever called) that can take passenger/roll on/off ships so would they want to be at capacity with two CI ships at the same time given dictated by tide?

If you’re familiar with John Carpenter’s The Fog there are eerie parallels with Jersey and it is #halloween2024 so it’s apt but also, there could simply be a problem with the kitchen at the yacht

#staycation the art deco inspired air vent is delightful and the trellis is a nice touch

@ReywasYbot @dwedigital Ah come on now, Excel is still Jersey’s biggest fintech, sadly

@dwedigital @DigitalJersey At least it’s moved a bit further on from the original DJ skills survey that highlighted the island need for people with ‘Microsoft’ skills 😂

@TheOnlyGuru Visiting Guernsey or a bumpy flight? 😀

@ab_FinTech Yes. Hope not, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Jesus, enormous thunderstorm overhead.

@BBCJersey Do it, don’t do it, I don’t really care tbh, it’s hardly Las Ramblas and once past the post office it’s a mess, a building site, the back of shops, a few small businesses and a pub where people drink Carling outside at 11am

@Getonthelash2 The most challenging part to swallow today was the statement that while you can move in with a suitcase that the property would have enough space to store it thereafter

The JEP excelling themselves today with an attack on the JFSC …the days of someone bowling up with a suitcase of notes have long gone,we need to be seen to have a tough regulator or are toast . Do I like compliance ? No I preferred the game in my day in the City when it was fun!

@SandraHayes1 @LucyStevoJSY As a St Clement resident this is disappointing but there are, to my knowledge no local community doctors surgeries so we have to go elsewhere for nearby prescriptions but that does not seem to consider parish population density and needing pharmacist advice

@LucyStevoJSY We’ve lost our pharmacy altogether at St Clement’s M&S!

Hearing today that Roseville Pharmacy is going to reduce its opening hours, so no out of hours community pharmacy any longer. Anyone have thoughts/views? I’m not aware that any other pharmacies around the island stay open late

@David5692369455 @JEPnews I did fall off there once, a dog shot across my path leaving me no choice. Still, lovely soft white sand to land on. I crashed into railings once too, that one was my fault and it bloody hurt.

@JEPnews It doesn’t require railings as cycling west bound you are naturally on the right of the promenade overtaking walkers or left the other way , you should be on the road but that’s another argument. Unless you are daft you shouldn’t fall off this stretch of pavement.

Another planning application is submitted for railings at La Haule brnw.ch/21wMGE6

@TheOnlyGuru Schools are closed, my kids finish at 14:50. While I recognise short notice cancellations, the disruption for both children and parents needing childcare cannot be justified going forward if this is what to expect in years to come.

Aww gahd, the mess that is the Air Display, is going to be painfully long and drawn out. Higgins et al, should hang their heads in shame. That’s taxpayer money they’ve taken to produce this rubbish.

@TheOnlyGuru I saw the 1A eastbound full today, nobody else could get on as it was full of Le Rocquier pupils, much like the bus routes these things go both ways

Oh no, local politician gets a dose of reality. This is why having a car is essential. #jerseyci🇯🇪

@JerseyITGuy Yes and no, I know many of my parents generation (65-75 ) perfectly happy to bank online, after that there’s a diminishing tipping point. Community is key, similar to libraries, banks are a hub, in my banking days there were many customers that just popped in for a chat

@ab_FinTech I suspected the elderly concern. I believe this is where we need to support them to digital onboarding. Community support centres etc. it's a real issue that's needed for the island to evolve.

Yet another out-of-town bank is to close after Lloyds announced its Les Quennevais branch will shut in December, blaming a fall in customer transactions of almost a third between 2018 and 2023. Subscribe to read more: brnw.ch/21wMp5l

@JerseyITGuy Typically the elderly and vulnerable but here’s the thing, they aren’t a profitable or even cost neutral segment to serve, it’s a cost. Any largely cash business these days is an AML risk.

@JEPnews I've not needed a bank for nearly a decade. Genuinely what are people using them for? You can cash cheques online. Cash is on the decline. I know I'm a digital first person, so really asking, just to see the other side of the discussion.

My goodness £4.75 for fizzy pop, in a local retailer, it must be hot 🥵

I’ll say one thing about getting #Oasisticket it’s a great day for nerds like me who like to see (not receive) error messages 🤓
