Woke up today with sore ear drums, dry throat and just generally exhausted, couldn't sleep a wink in temple meads last night. Is anyone else feeling proper worn out today?
Independence crowned best beer
Need someone to sense check that I’ve not lost my mind here. I parked on St Michael’s Park Road near the hospital. The ticket warden was actually by the pay and display machine - I asked him if the parking zone code on the side of the machine to be used in RingGo was the correct one for where my car was parked, he said yes. I paid on RingGo for 2 hours. Came back 30 minutes later and there’s a parking ticket on my windshield!
Attaching the sign (it will only let me upload one pic). The zone I put in which was on the machine is 2368. Have I lost it?
Do people know about this place? Been a few times but does seem to have cheapest beer on Gloucester road and pretty much unheard of. https://www.somervilleclub.co.uk

Does anyone know of some discount codes for the airport parking.
Thanks in advance

I had a stem cell transplant and finished my last chemo just over 6 months ago. My hair has been steadily growing back since around a month after I finished treatment but it’s starting to look a bit messy and I’d like to get it tidied up a bit and make it look more intentional and try to learn to love my short hair (I hate it lol).
Can anyone recommend hair stylists/salons that have experience in dealing with this kind of cut. I was a bit anxious about hair appointments before losing my hair so it’s even worse now so would really like to find somewhere that is understanding of the situation. Thank you!
Overheard some guy by the harbour saying that the swan has killed the goose that hangs out on the floating green area. anyone know if this is true?
The charity I work for runs Festival of Nature in June across Bristol + Bath - 160 events, all free, lots for adults, families.
The sun is coming....get outside....try something new....
And with the cost of living these days who doesn't love a free event!
Hi all, does anyone know of the most Arsenal-heavy pubs to watch the last game of the season on Sunday?
Any other Norwich FC fans in Bristol? My husband's got no-one local to watch the footie with at the pub!
Where is everyone planning on going on Sunday? There’s lots of games on so want to make sure Arsenal is on and there’s plenty of fans 🤩 COYG
I may sound dumb here, but how would people evade fare if the bus driver literally sees you getting on and scan or pay for your ticket. Unless first just think their drivers are letting people on for free.
Hey!
I’m looking for a pub/bar that I can host a party for about 60 people. I can’t afford to spend a lot of money on hiring the place out so somewhere that does a minimum spend would be ideal.
Ideally has a nice outdoor space (pub garden), but happy to go for somewhere that has a nice indoor area.
Does anyone have recommendations?
Thanks!
I’ve got a three reclaimed doors that Im renovating but I need hardware fitting and them hanging. Some need skimming down and bits added to make up the height.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks in advance
As the title says. The police dont reckon theres a case here, force them to take action by filing more reports.
I gave the most detail i could from what i saw, please do the same and ensure justice is served to whoever started it.
Mods please dont take this down, the one guy was bleeding from his head.
Making this post in hopes that even if I save one person from this hellish company I can sleep a little bit easier.
I should have seen the red flags from miles off, but I was so eager to get into a household because of a 3 hour round trip commute every day that I was naive to them.
Advertisement showed it was a two room flat for a fairly priced £985 per month most bills included, however on the video viewing (had no time for in person at this point) the lettings agent stated it was a 4 bedroom. Okay, more housemates than I wanted but it was only a 6 month contract and I needed a room.
I got given a move in date and a very vague process on how I should move in. I text the lettings agent before hand to see if I would receive any more info and he stated a man (let's call him Toby) would email me with move in details. Lo and behold, move in day came and no details from Toby. After ringing the lettings again and finally getting through, I was verbally told a key lock code for the front door, however my room was also key pad locked and had to wait over an hour for Toby's email to actually get in. Alarm bells should have been firmly sounding by now but I naively pressed on.
Now here is where it all unravels. It was a 6 bedroom house.
Not 2, not 4, 6. Now it has nothing to do with the quantity of people, every single person in that house was lovely and a young professional age (they did also however have grumblings about the lettings agency and of the move in process). It was more the obvious misleading adverts to sucker people in. In hindsight it also made me realise that the lettings agent didn't even know what property he was showing.
During my short stay with them, this happened:
- Contractor entered my room with no prior warning to fix a shower door handle (me and my friend were asleep in bed)
- Installed a keypad to our front door to replace an actual front door key which immediately broke, trapping a house mate inside (fire hazard? lol)
- Failed to mention a persistent pest issue.
- Their 'Weekly Communal Clean' was a guy coming round with a mop every 2 weeks.
- Out of date Fire Alarm testing records.
- No emergency out of hours contacts that would answer. (When aforementioned lock broke for example)
- When exiting the contract, threats of CCJ's and small courts claims were not a last resort, more an instinctive first solution for them. (Good job Toby).
- Check out fees (I successfully argued with photo and video evidence) of £350.
As I said, even if I save one person with this post, I can sleep happy.
EDIT: They are shown as 'permanently closed' on google, probably so people cant leave bad reviews. Awful, awful people.
