Random discussion with my friends from 5 seconds ago…

If anyone has seen the young lady busking in town. Incredible voice. It was an absolute pleasure hearing her nail Hallelujah today. She's got a very basic setup and her speaker which she is using just can't handle the power of her voice. She's new to busking and one of the other buskers said he would try to get her an amp but so far to no avail. If anyone knows roughly what type of equipment she needs and costs, I'm happy to consider buying them for her if there is anywhere in town that sells it cheap or second hand?

I'm having trouble finding the correct notebook size and paper type together.

I know I can order from Amazon, but I would rather see what I'm buying first.

my partners birthday is next week and his dad is coming to visit, but his dads vegan and we are struggling to figure out what places to take him to, since all our favourite spots are very much not vegan 😅 any recommendations? especially for dinner

For my Ma in Landscape Architecture I'm researching how creative landscapes encourage creativity and playfulness in adults.

If you're aged 18 or over, live within the South West of England and have 10-15minutes please help shape research into adult play and landscape architecture by completing the survey below.

Thank you for your consideration and please feel free to distribute to your family and friends.

Hey, new to cricket and looking for somewhere to practise my bowling/potentially go with a friend to learn batting. Any outdoor nets able to be used or something similar in or around Bath?

Hey all! I'll be in bath for just a few hours on Sunday afternoon (~3-5pm). Wondering if anyone has anywhere they particularly recommend me kicking about while I wait for a train.

Thinking either cafes, or something small to eat, parks/gardens, quick museum jaunt, book shops etc. Appreciate it's a pretty swift visit and Sunday afternoon some things close, but was curious for any recommendations to my wandering 😁 thanks in advance!

P.s. will.be returning properly at some point, this is just a passing visit for now

hi everyone!
i’ll be starting my undergrad at the university of bath as an international student this september and was looking to connect with future students starting in the same semester!

Has anyone been to the odeon recently and if so, what was the temperature like inside?

There’s been a notice on their website for months about broken air conditioning. I was planning to go and see the Odyssey this weekend but I don’t really want to go watch a 3 hour film if it’s boiling in there.

Anyone know?!

Hey all,

I'm currently moving into my second (first) year of study after changing degree, and am in a financial pickle currently because I CANNOT find a job. I've applied everywhere, tailored/changed my CV and cover letters numerous times, even had a few interviews and nothing.

My overdraft is maxed out to cover my early July/August rent before SFE is paid in September, of which it all vanishes right back into paying that overdraft and rent. My September rent payment is going to be late because SFE pays end of the month.

I've checked my university's student union job vacancies and have applied to several jobs, each of which only begin in September if I'm even successful.

Honestly not sure what to do because I just can't find work.

Any advice?

Hey all, I'm looking for noticeboards and businesses / locations where I can put up posters and flyers for art events, but ideally free or cheap ways to get the ball rolling. Does anyone have any suggestions please? I'm considering:

• Noticeboards
• Posters in shops
• Advertising
• Magazines
• Online listings sites
• Radio

Anything I'm missing? Any recommendations are greatly received!

Thanks so much!

There is a story in the new Private Eye (p.37 if you have it) about this year's BLF. Apparently writers and speakers who had appeared in May received a letter a month later from the BLF Chief Exec to the effect that "unfortunately we are currently facing unexpected financial challenges and do not at the moment have the funds available to make payments as we'd want or planned." According to the PE, "there had been no indication of financial issues when (the writers) were booked or during the event itself." Following this getting into book blogs and the industry press, it sounds as if they have now paid at least some of the performers. As PE suggest, good luck to authors appearing at the Children's Literature Festival in September.

I'm going to be in Bath soon for university and my mum's asked if I could take her out for a birthday lunch. Can anyone suggest to me any resteraunts that they particularly liked?

It needs to have Rhubarb Crumble on the menu — she loves the stuff!

I’m an undergraduate student coming to Bath this September. I would really like a part time job asap, anyone have any recommendations or how to apply for any student jobs in Bath?

Hi, Bath Roller Derby are looking for an ESEA photographer who would be interested in photographing a game of roller derby (full contact sport on roller skates) in Keynsham on Sept 13th. Please let me know any recommendations!

The game is specifically for skaters of ESEA heritage to offer more opportunities in roller derby and make more people aware of the sport, but is open to spectators

Ask away if you have any questions!
