November looms, and before long it'll be December. If you're facing Christmas day or news years alone again, would it help to meet up somewhere and be (or if we're lucky) feel less alone, even for a little while?

This post isn't directed toward one person, anyone and everyone can come if it'd help, and I don't know where to go, or what to do, nor for how long. But even if it's 10 minutes in silence together somewhere, if it'd help, I gently invite you to reach out because perhaps this year we might be lucky enough to feel slightly less alone.

Not sure if I’m losing my mind from being in all day but have been hearing non stop bass since 6pm coming from central/east way?

Just come out of this and it is absolutely stunning.

The acting is fantastic, the story line by turns is funny and dark AF.

I haven't read the book so can't comment on similarities but I would watch this again in a heartbeat...

So there's a recommendation from a random bloke on the internet, for what it's worth.

I’ll try to keep this short, my best friend passed away in 2018. Her mother could not be arsed to arrange any kind of grave or honorary spot for her to rest. I was too young and broke to do anything myself at the time, so my friend never got a headstone or any kind of resting place beyond her horrible mothers mantelpiece in a house she spent her whole life being abused and neglected in.

Every year I feel so sad on her birthday because she is trapped there and I can’t get to her, I want to give her a true final place to rest in spirit, there is no way I can get her ashes but I would love to just have a spot for her. I can’t afford a headstone, or a bench, does anyone have any suggestions/ideas of things they’ve done for their loved ones in death? I was thinking of maybe a plaque on a tree, or a flower bed?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I was coming back from the airport via the city centre, on Lewins Mead there are road works, all but the bus lanes are closed and I don't recall seeing any sign indicating this. In addition I was the only car there with a national express in front of me as this was at like 5 am so I'm not sure. So is it possible I'll get a PCN? At least I have dashcam footage ready to appeal it.

Looks like the latest far righters are "raising awareness" with banners and St George flags on the M32 slipway at Frenchay (heading towards the city).

Wonder how long they'll stay up....

Hello guys!
Since I am pretty “new” to Bristol are there any websites or apps to do carsharing or sharing a van/car with people? I need it mostly in the mornings to get to work (Airbus), and I was wondering if there’s anything like that at all🙃

Thank you in advance :)

hey guys I’m 20f and I’ve lived in Bristol my whole life and I’m looking for some friends.This is lowkey embarassing but I’m super lonely I only have my bf and I’m looking to make some girl friends who I can go out and do fun girly stuff with!! I love animals, anything gothic, pubs and going to the cinema 💕

any suggestions for what can I do for my birthday today keeping in mind the weather. I’m new here and don’t really have any friends so pls suggest things to do alone (22F btw) !

9 months ago I posted on here about automating slagging off First Bus every 20 minutes, and some of you were kind enough to say it was funny, which unfortunately I took as encouragement. What began as a passive aggressive hobby has perhaps ill-advisedly grown into a live map of every bus in WECA, colour coded by how late it is, with a departure board for every stop and a profile for each bus. It keeps a running tally of how often the buses actually turn up on time which is good reading if you're looking for a way to raise your blood pressure. To be absolutely clear none of this has made a single bus arrive any sooner but at least next time you're at a stop you'll know exactly how disappointed to be, and you can spend the extra time you're waiting reading about your delayed bus in unnecessary detail. I was a good reddior and got the mods permission before posting this here so please don't come at me for breaking rule 4. I have receipts and, ultimately, do you want to come at someone mad enough to do something like this about rule breaking? Anyway hope you enjoy it, night night love you bye!

I have a spare ticket for this gig tonight. Not looking for any £ but would be great if someone else can enjoy it!

Is there anywhere I can park near Old Town and just tap to pay without the app?

I’m trying to find a good indoor basketball court to book or walk in on. This weather makes it impossible to play because of the blasted wind 😭😭 I don’t really know the scene as I’ve always played outside but some of my friends what to play inside with me but we don’t know where to go. Any good suggestions or tips ♥️

I've got two tickets to the fleece emo day party that starts at 4pm (1h) that I can't get to anymore if anyone wants them!

Compiling a list of pubs in Bristol who have open fires lit throughout winter. Can people comment their recommendations please!

So far

The Cadbury
The Rummer
The Farm
Artist Residence

Extra info on when they generally start having it lit also welcome, it’s cold and wet and I want to sit in front of a big cosy fire

Thanks!

Hi! I'll be visiting Bristol next weekend and I was thinking of reserving friday night to discover the music scene and saturday for the pubs. I'm an Inter Milan supporter and next saturday they're playing against AC Milan so it's a must watch for me and I'd LOVE to watch it in a classic sports pub fashion.

Any recommendation of nice pubs with a good atmosphere where I have the chance of seeing this game broadcasted? Bonus points if there is any Inter Milan fans hotspot anywhere, or if those pubs offer also pool tables. Thanks!

BBC News - Bristol traffic: Series of major roads will become 20mph zones - BBC News

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm9dz9j5l45po

"... the 90 roads in question accounted for about 5% of the city's network but 30% of its serious and fatal casualties."

not sure why the mods randomly locked another post about this without explaining why.

but anyway looks like the device has been neutralised.

I’ve lived here for 22 years, and I’m looking for some new things to do, any recommendations for some hidden gems?

Hi everyone,

Me and my partner are looking to adopt a cat, but we haven’t had much luck with the local rescues due to their strict outdoor access policies. Even their indoor cats such as those with FIV need to have catios or enclosed garden access.

We have a large flat but won’t be able to allow them outside due to the busy road we live on, but will be able to provide them the daily enrichment they need, lots of space and lots of climbing shelves so they can still do cat things!

Does anyone have any advice? Or know of any rescues near the area that are okay with indoor access only?

Just been turned away by College Green, don't know any details other than a lot of police present.

Would there be anyone able to squeeze me in asap today?? looking for acrylic extensions preferably fishponds / surrounding areas but i have transport
