Yo

My friend has the flu and can no longer come. So I can either drink buzzballz by myself on the train, or give the spare tickets to a Bristol Ari stan and hope to God we get along. Message for details!

I also have a taxi back to Bristol after the gig. Yes, a taxi! 🫠

Let me know if anyone's game

Hopefully not a bunch of weirdos but I'm posting on Reddit so not sure what I'm really expecting here x

Bristol Bats - the crypt is growing 🦇🖤
A little while ago I posted looking for fellow creatures of the night around Bristol. Since then, we’ve built a growing WhatsApp community and recently had our first roost - drinks were drunk, friendships were forged and nobody lost any organs.
So, the coffin lid is open again.
Goth, metalhead, punk, emo, industrial, generally spooky or simply interested in the darker side of life - you’re welcome. 🖤
We’re an inclusive 18+ bunch with pub meets, gigs, cemetery walks and other mildly suspicious gatherings planned.
No gatekeeping. No awkwardly approaching someone in a Sisters of Mercy shirt while strolling the Lidl middle aisle.
Not a group chat. Not a club. A coven. 🦇

Well the equivalent volume of water is currently running down Whiteladies road 🤦‍♀️

Bristol Water on the scene, looking after our water as ever.

We're thinking about selling our house in East Bristol and moving to Portishead. Currently we walk or cycle to work in Filton 2-3 days a week.

How is the commute from Portishead to Filton? Will we despise it eventually?

Work work normal 9-5 hours, could flex to 8-4 but would also need to work around school drop off and pick up times.

I know we had discussion of 3GS litter police on here before

2 tickets going free because we can't go now.

Has anyone else watched the first episode of the new Emergency 24/7 programme on BBC2/Iplayer? It was filmed at Southmead A+E department last year and it’s so interesting to see everything that goes on in the department and how so many teams come together when there is a major trauma. It’s well worth a watch.

Also if there are any Southmead A+E staff in this sub, you work bloody hard - thank you for all you do.

hello hello :)

it’s my siblings birthday coming up and I want to treat him to a nice spa trip- I know there’s the classic Thermae Spa and Bristol Lido but wanted to hear from the folks of Reddit, what are these two like and do you have any other hidden gems that you’re gatekeeping?

thank you kindly!

EDIT: must be accessible by public transport <3

So it appears that the old North Street Co-op site is now a construction site again... anyone know what's going to be going in there?

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.

This has been going on for a few weeks now. 2 years of neglect from the council has lead to this. A blocked inflow pipe and a broken aerator. Has resulted in the water becoming stagnant and anoxic which is what the botulinum bacteria thrives in.

A cygnet almost died and is receiving treatment and 5 ducks have succumbed the the toxin.
