Does anyone know of any Scottish country dance clubs/nights in Bristol? Not exactly new to the area, but I am finally in the position of being able to have something of a social life and looking to meet likeminded lasses/individuals

Hey folks!

Bristol Northwest Gamers are having a boardgame night tomorrow (4th December) in the Lamplighters pub in Shirehampton from 6.30pm - 10.30pm. Come along and have some fun and make new friends!

You can also get in touch on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bristol-nw-gamers.bsky.social

If you own a Greyish VW Golf/ Polo and parked it outside 46 Oakfield road tonight.

I saw a car drive into your car as they left a space at 5:30 pm today. They then parked just down the road.

The car was a silver Toyota Vitz. Reg LN62 GJV.

There is damage to your driverside rear bumper and wheel arch.

There is likely damage to their passenger side front bumper. I believe the driver was a young male with black hair and glasses.

I’ve been doing a bit of production lately just for a bit of fun and would like to find some MCs and/or vocalists to collaborate with on a few tunes.

Wondered if anyone knew of any websites/apps/open mics etc where I could get started?

Like I say, it’s just a bit of fun, but I would like to make an EP or something over the next 18 months or so.

Hip hop, trip hop, garage, soulful grimey type beats are what I’ve generally been making but up for collaborating on anything. Just like being creative really.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Cheers!

Anyone heard any rumours of who’s playing? Sadly, it looks like Rod Stewart is out of the picture…

yes I know it’s ’Forwards’ I can’t change it

I'm still going but one of my mates cant make it. Bit short notice but you can have it for free, I just don't want it going to waste! First come first serve!

Just had an email saying my Nuffield Health (Stoke Gifford/Bristol North) Membership ios going up FIFTEEN percent in January (over 4 times CPIH). Is this the same for anyone else / does anyone know if NH are receptive to negotiation please?

Just a head's up; my kid's just told us they saw a weird old man fiddling with a knife by the entrance to Arnos Vale. He's got greying hair, grey scarf, jeans, a black jacket and seems very calm. We've reported it to the cops, and they're gonna check it out, but if you're going that way be a bit wary.

Hi, my children would love a Switch for Christmas but budgets don't allow for it at the moment. (I looked into renting one but that was crazy expensive too). I'd like to be able to take them somewhere to play Nintendo games consoles though, around Christmas time, in or near Bristol - there used to be a bar on Park Street which had N64 and things but that's closed now. Any ideas where? Beyond in town next to GAME only has a PS5 and PCs as far as I know.

Thanks 🙏🏼

Hey. Hoping someone can give me some advice. I've seen a flat recently and put an offer it. It seems I'm getting a steal (175k for a good size 2 bed with parking/private garde in a okayish area)

I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with BCC being the leaseholder. Cost of lease extension etc (how can I find this out!) unexpected maintenance bills etc.

I understand there can be some caveats and I'll be having a survey done anyway.

It's a block of 4 flats (semi detached houses converted into flats)

Would you go for this, Anything you'd look out for etc.

Thanks

Here’s the statutory reminder to be careful about your phones around Temple Meads! Except this time he got what was coming.

E-Bike Balaclava Boy cycling wrong way up Temple Way. You can see him about to snatch a man’s phone waiting to cross the road, building up speed, ready to snatch.

Cycled into a bush, didn’t he. Missed the phone, missed the man, straight into a bush at speed. Fantastic. Knocked his North Face hood off.

Dusted himself down, hopped back on his bike but definitely dented his pride and ego. Felt like he got what was coming to him.

anyone know anything about this? got booted off my bus and told to walk because the bridge is closed.

Hi Bristol.

We’re you the man in a band tee and green coat sat with two mates this morning in BTP (upstairs)? I fancied you, we looked at each-other a lot, but I was too shy to say hello.

Hey guys, I keep seeing that cloud every day. Any idea what it could be?

So I know this isn’t even a first world problem and I should just get a life but anyway. This bugs me every time I see it. Some people may not remember but until the 1990s, the STD code for our beloved city was 01272 (before then of course it was just 0272). Then the government changed the phone numbers of cities, so Manchester became 0116, Nottingham 0115, Sheffield 0114, etc. And Bristol became 0117. Some people refused to acknowledge having a new seven digit phone number and so just used 01179 as the dialling code. Since then we now have numbers beginning with 3 as well as 2. Make me grit my teeth when I see business signage using 01179. There; I’ve said it. Feel a bit better now🤣.

Edit: I clearly imagined 01272. As has been pointed out, it was a straight switch from 0272 to 0117.

What was it before David Lloyd or was it newly built? I'm convinced it was a leisure centre but my mate thinks otherwise

Friend is driving me to a gig there later, we’re leaving early and I’ll definitely want some food but it seems like there’s nowhere close? I’ve searched this sub and people recommend The Barley Mow but I don’t want to drag him away from the gig for ages to do that, is there anywhere that even sells just wraps/sandwhiches? I can’t see any Greggs or McDonalds which would be my usual go-to in these situations 😅 just anything vegan and quick would be great, thanks

Edit; what a brilliant and helpful sub, thanks so much guys

In the 30+ minutes I stood at the bus stop this morning (Arnos Court) 3 of the 8 scheduled busses turned up.

One was not in service, one was full, one was empty but didn't stop.

Now walking into the office (no tiers between here and the city centre) on track to be 45 minutes late. It will have taken me over an hour to do a journey of about 2 miles.

This city is broken.

Saw this on tick-tock so not a reliable source
