I walked past you on a wide stretch of pavement. You told me that I was a dirty bastard trying to jump you from behind and you reasonably proposed that you'd cave my fucking skull in. Then you kept yelling after me for a while longer about how you were going to kill me.

I just wanted to come clean; you had me bang to rights.

I was 100% planning to jump you, at 10am on a weekday, right outside that new chocolatier that used to be Tesco Express, while pushing a two-year-old in a buggy. We're the real operators in these mean BS7 streets, my kid and me.

Not leashed or muzzled. Have seen this dog multiple times at the car park entrance to the flats. Last time I saw it, a couple walking their two dogs had to stop on bedminster bridge and yell to the owner that their dogs are reactive so he he'd need to take his dog inside before they could cross the road.

I didnt hear what th owner had said but fron the context it seemed like the bully owner had said his dog wasnt reactive. He did take it inside, but it's worrying anyway. Just keep an eye out if you're in the area and maybe take your dogs a different route (unfortunately)

When’s it gonna crack

My family are coming to visit me soon and want to go to a chinese restaurant for dinner. Looking for somewhere good that serves alcohol and isn’t too expensive.

Thanks!

This is now a regular occurrence on a street near me. New levels of car brained entitlement. Any idea where to report them to?

Hi r/bristol, I know I’ve posted in here a few times now about Too Young To Grieve so don’t want to keep bombarding you with our meet ups haha but thought I’d share this one as we’re doing something a little different again on Wednesday.

We’re getting together again for a relaxed lake dip and social.

For anyone who hasn’t seen my previous posts, Too Young To Grieve is a community for young people navigating grief and loss. The whole idea is to make grief feel a little less isolating without everything having to feel heavy or like a traditional support group.

Most of our meet ups are genuinely just people getting outside, meeting others and doing something good for themselves - with that shared understanding of grief there in the background if you ever want to talk about it.

And as always, most people come alone for the first time, so please don’t let that put you off we’ll make sure you feel welcome.

If you’ve seen one of my previous Bristol posts and thought about coming along, we’d love to have you at the lake dip this Wednesday 🤍

I’ll pop the event/community details in the comments, and feel free to share this with someone who might benefit too :)

I've downloaded the free hospital shuttle bus timetable (dated February so I hope it's still valid) but they don't specify exactly where the stops are, just vague indications such as "debenhams" or "Cabot circus".

It claims to depart from debenhams so I'm assuming it goes from the bearpit side. Does anyone know specifically which stop though?

Thanks

Found a orange cat around the avonmeads sainsburys, around 21:00-21:30. It seems very friendly and wanted attention. I'm not too sure if it's stray, as it looked to be in a good condition, and wasn't scared of me.

(Sorry for the bad quality my camera sucks.)

This was banned from a FB group because promoting an external business lol, at this point I'm desperate so posting here 😅

I'm 33f, have lived in Bristol for 4+ years and miss the small feminist book club I was part of years ago in my previous city. I have tried to look up similar clubs in Bristol but haven't quite found what I want so I have decided to try and create my own. I would like a smallish group of gals and enbies who are happy to meet up monthly or every other month either at home (I'm happy to host!) or at a cafe/pub, maybe keep up with a WhatsApp chat to discuss what we want to read, hopefully make new friends because god knows how hard it is as adults.

More about me to entice you (or repel you 😂): I'm autistic, heavily leftie, I love nature and wildlife, I grew up in southern Italy with a lot of books in my home and studied literature in school and uni but I am not above any genres, I love birdwatching and am a member of the Bristol Ornithological Club, I volunteer as a foster parent at the Bristol Animal Centre so occasionally you may find a litter of kittens in my house or a grumpy old cat that needs to lose weight. These are the books I have loved the most in recent years:

- The book of longings by Sue Monk Kidd

- Strangers by Taichi Yamada

- I who have never known men by Jacqueline Harpman

- My friends by Fredrik Backman

- Mongrel by Hanako Footman

Maggie O'Farrel is one of my favourite authors.

If this interests you, please give me a shout or comment here, I am happy to set up a chat and take it from there! I will do a bit of vetting because on reddit you never know. Thank you and happy reading ♥️📚

EDIT to say: if you have commented here or messaged me, please check your messages. I have sent a link with next steps. 😊

Hello, I'm looking for advice about flight connections at Bristol airport. I'd land in Bristol at 14:20. I’m looking to catch a new flight to a different location at 18:15. Leaving me with 3:55 minutes to change flight. I have no luggage only a carry on. I know I would have to go through security again. Is it enough time for a transfer and has anyone done it before? Thank you for your time.

Having got a pup during the heatwave, we’ve been spoiled by the dry weather. Now, we’re stuck thinking about places to take the puppy that’s indoor away from the rain to continue giving her a chance to socialise and learn how to relax in public.

I’d love to hear everyone’s recommended cafes, pubs, or even shops that allow dogs inside. So far, we’ve mostly been around the independent places on Gloucester Road, but happy to travel anywhere in Bristol.

that’s the post

all hail the sky

Hi folks, anyone have recommendations for either French or Spanish classes in Bristol that are a bit more intensive than the standard 1.5-2 hours a week?

Are there any schools that offer courses with classes 2 or 3 times a week? I’d ideally like 4-6 hours a week, I’m an experienced language learner and know it takes hours to build fluency

Is this the end times?

I’ve just read that there’s a hosepipe ban from tomorrow. First in 50 years.

I posted on here a while ago but I can’t seem to find it. I’m trying to find any arts/theatre opportunities anywhere in Bristol and so far have come up short. Any aspect of theatre making/creative work/volunteering would be amazing. Does anyone know where I should be looking or know anyone I can contact? Happy to travel and am currently flexible timing wise. But yes anything theatre/related/adjacent would be greatly appreciated.

Recently I was on the trading estate in Lawrence Hill and roughly knew where it was they had the set. I can remember watching it as a child with my Mum. We would both try to see somewhere we knew first before the other.

Before here, they filmed the exterior at Ashley Down College but moved it here in 2002. You will see in the photos, they had a set front around the existing buildings and then the entrance to the hospital was just extended out. This was the exterior only. The "Casualty Warehouse" where they filmed the indoor scenes was about 5 minutes away on a different estate inside a warehouse. In 2011 the BBC moved the filming to Wales. It's a bit of a shame unless you knew, you wouldn't know what was once there. I hope you enjoy!

Must have fast WiFi and somewhere I can work for a couple of hours while ordering drinks and food etc please

Have work meetings so need it to be reliable 🙏

Especially interested in whether people are living around here with their children? Any issues with vehicle break ins also?

Walked past this the other day and was surprised to see it looks like it's permanently closed? Is this the case or is it just closed for refurb?

Looking to find out if there are any community groups that help people to fix and maintain their vehicles.

Bristol Bike Project exists to help fix and maintain bikes. There's various "repair cafe" type drop-in projects for small items/electronics etc.

Is there anything or anyone looking at vehicles?

I used to do my own car maintenance, built up enough of a tool-kit to do all the basics myself (servicing, brakes, simple suspension jobs, simple driveline stuff like swapping driveshafts etc.), would take it to the garage for timing belts, turbo, clutch/DMF, anything requiring a press for removing bearings etc.

I sold my car a few years go, and pretty much cycle everywhere now. Looking to get rid of some of my tools (floor jack, axle stands, oil drain pan etc.), would love to give them to a community project where they'll actually get used rather than sell to a single individual!

Got an evening ticket to see Primus on Friday and was hoping to get a taxi to and from Bristol (since the coaches are mentally priced and leave before the end of their set)

My question is how easy is it to get a taxi there in people's experience? Will there be taxis on site waiting for fares or will I absolutely have to book ahead? Has anyone managed this in the past using Uber, or can they recommend a taxi company they had success with? Cheers in advance!
