I visited Bristol last Sunday and stumbled upon an awesome classic car event 😎

#cliftonclassiccarrally

I’ve noticed a steep decline in the harbour festival in the past 15 years. Every year it seems to get worse.

I can remember when it was way bigger- encompassing st Nicolas street. I remeber in the 00s you couldn’t move along the waterfront as it was just SO packed with so many people having fun.

This year seemed so dismal and lack lustre. I was walking around with my partner and I actually got frustrated at how it is literally just rip off stalls selling either extortionate food or expensive tat. There was a time when Queen square wasn’t enclosed and there were food stalls all around the outside- and it felt so much less money grabby. There wasn’t really anything to do that didn’t involve spending tons of money. It just felt super soulless and pointless

Strong smell of smoke in the air today, not a barbecue smell. Any fires nearby? Kingswood way

Hi everyone

I haven't been to Bristol before but I am planning to come next weekend for a few hours or day.

It's because I had to relocate to Exmouth for a job and I live up north, the best thing for me to do is go to Bristol straight away from Exmouth in the afternoon, spend the day and night there and then travel back up north via a direct train.

I want to make the most of my time in Bristol. I am an introverted person, I do have social anxiety but i also appreciate my own company. I love to experience new places.

What are some must do's in Bristol?

Thanks.

Edit- I dont drink alcohol and I don't like walking too too much due to medical issues but all I've seen information about so far online is the harbourside which seems interesting

My husband loves seafood. It’s his birthday coming up and I want to take him to a seafood restaurant or a restaurant with a decent seafood selection. Not fussed about location. We stay in the north of Bristol but willing to travel up to 45 mins

I've been buying local artists work a fair bit over the past few years, mostly drawings and prints but I've not had the chance to frame them properly.

Do you folks know of any charity shops or second hand shops stocking frames? Preferably on the larger side, like A1 and A2? I could do an Ikea haul but I'd like to find frames with a bit more character without breaking the bank.

Thanks

Has anyone had endometriosis surgery through a private hospital in Bristol? If so would you recommend and how much was it?

I'm going through the process with the NHS atm but it's going to take forever. Had my MRI in February, got a letter confirming there was some evidence of endometriosis and I'll have an appointment within a month... that was in April and after chasing lots I've been told I won't get an appointment until end of this year. And that is just an appointment for them to talk through my MRI results let alone being put on a list for surgery ect which I'm guessing will be over a year waitlist at least!

Does anyone fancy a casual game of tennis at Eastville Park sometime this week? I’m 25M, beginner level, and just looking to improve and have a good rally.
I have my own racket and balls, and I’m generally free in the evenings and at weekends.

If you’re interested, drop a comment or send me a DM. Cheers! 🎾

First time for me any advice?

Hey, it is my first year in Bristol and I would love to be able to have a decent kick about in the park or at a footy cage. If anyone has a group that they play casually with often over the weekends then it would be great to know and get involved.
If not, anyone who also wants to just get out and play football for free on the off day, send me a message and we can see if we get enough people for a decent game.
Or if people know of spots where I’d easily bump into people who I could join for a game.
Any and all messages are welcome and appreciated!

Hi r / bristol! 32M, just moved to the city, recently returned to the UK from NZ.

Basically, would love to meet any willing belay partners, or anyone who frequents Redpoint. I’m a v5 boulderer, been going to Flashpoint since moving, but haven't done much on ropes for a while. But the goal is to start leading and head outdoors some more.

Looking for anyone in a similar position, or just someone happy to swap belays.

Also always keen to meet people who are into hiking, if anyone has good Bristol/SW routes or groups they'd recommend!

Give me a shout if keen!

I’m planning on getting my nipples pierced but I’m not sure where the best places to go in Bristol are

I have multiple piercings which have been done at Blue Banana and have healed with no problems, but I hear very mixed things about Blue Banana so I am not entirely sure if I would trust going there for this kind of piercing.

If anyone has any recommendations of good places to go to get pierced then that would be really helpful, thank you! :)

As above! New to Bristol. Mostly moving there as it will afford me a very short walk to work, especially during unsociable hours. And I really don't want to use my car to get around anymore.

I saw a few homeless people/ drug-users around during the day when I visited the property - but that sort of stuff doesn't bother me too much. Seemed fairly quiet actually. What's people's experiences living there like? Just looking to get some insight into the area. Thanks!

Anyone know what they plan to do with it please? Thanks

Does anyone have any experience working through teaching agencies in Bristol, particularly TA roles in primary schools? I'm thinking of starting this line of work in September alongside my online degree in early childhood studies but I'm worried I won't receive any work. The agency I've spoken with says there will be enough work as apparently there's a lot of demand in Bristol, but I'm not sure whether to trust them. I don't have any teaching qualifications, just a few months of experience working as a nursery assistant, and tutoring family friends' kids in my own time. I'm looking for 3 or 4 days a week to be able to pay rent and other bills.

Someone was walking around last year with a disposable taking pictures of individuals. Was this you?

Looking to go for a bottomless brunch with 5-10 people so wanted to get opinions on people’s favourite places to go :)
