Why hide your face if you’re doing nothing wrong and aren’t embarrassed?

Surely you want your identity to be known because you’re out there ‘protecting the community’.

Edit: I found this video on another sub with no backstory unfortunately. Thought I’d share it with fellow Bristolians as I’d seen videos like this from other places but now it’s right on our door step

My mates bike was nicked from redland area at around 11pm last night two people in balaclavas. Any information appreciated

I am looking for recommendations for yoga classes longer than an hour, to allow for longer poses, more practice and/or an extended nidra. half day workshops also of interest. Thanks

Hi, sorry for TA account, just want to remain absolutely anonymous on that. And sorry if post sounds a bit odd, English is not my first language.

As the title said- how do I meet new friends without alcohol involved? 😅 in my thirties, around half year ago I've finally admitted to myself that I've got a problem with drinking and cut it off from my life. But unfortunately most of my social interactions were with my pub friends since I was young, so now I'm a bit lost on how to meet people who also decided to be sober. I do not mind going to the pubs and drink non alcoholic drinks occasionally, just will be nice to join some activities/ groups where evenings are not ending up as me being only sober one in a group :)

I do enjoy board games, walks, bit of crafty things, and currently fighting with my insecurities to finally join some gym/swimming pool/yoga/anything involving physical activities. My biggest fear is that I'll show up somewhere just to find out that everyone who attends knows each other since pre school, all friendships are already established and playing Catan or going for half an hour walk is just an excuse to get wasted later on 🥲

So yeah, any help and direction highly appreciated, thank you for reading! :)

Please can I have suggestions of nice pubs in bristol that have the capacity to hold 120 people for a wedding reception.

We really like Greenbank in Easton but they can only accommodate 100 people unfortunately.

We're not looking to have a sit down meal, just a good party in the evening, as we're hoping to have a more intimate wedding breakfast earlier in the day. If the venue can do buffet food, great, but if not we can organise this ourselves.

Thank you in advance 😊

Greetings! Me and my family are heading to Bristol later in the year and looking for peoples recommendations on hotel options. We are visiting family who live in Long Ashton but have no preference to stay on the doorstep, we’d rather something central and relatively good standard as we’re likely to spend 3 nights and a fair amount of time in the hotel itself due to having a small child who still naps.

Current shortlist is Marriott Royal, Leonardo or Holiday Inn… We like the look of the Marriott but is obviously the most expensive one of the 3!

Thanks for any advice.

Hey, my name’s Maria and I’m looking to start/ join a bristol based band! I sing and play the guitar, but I’d like to focus on singing, with the vibe being like whimsical, punky, pop rock. I’m 20, so would be good to have people around my age. Inspo is wisp, evanescence, pixies and paramore

Hey everyone

Can anyone recommend a sax teacher for in-person lessons (I am in BS2 but happy to cycle up to 30 mins-ish). I used to play to a good standard but that was 10+ years ago and haven't played since - not fussed about doing any more exams/qualifications, open to any genres, just want to pick it up again

Thank you!

Hi guys,

As the title, I'm new to Bristol and I like to play blackjack. It seems very limited casino options in Bristol and the first search result is Grosvenor.

I'm wondering if there's enough tables for blackjack in there? How much minimum per hand? Any other casino recommendations? Thanks in advance.

I've tried looking for it for months. They sold it at a shop near me for a little bit (more or less an off-brand B&M that sells stuff for cheap but doesn't keep the stock in) and there was this amazing soy sauce. I've looked in every Asian supermarket in town, asked the people working there, and looked online. Nothing. Unless I want to spent £30+ on a 4 pack when it was £1 a bottle before. Any help would be great

Hi! Nail girlie's I need help!

Had my nails done twice now (i was a manicure virgin) , and the artwork hasn't been what I've been hoping.

I see such beautiful, even, clean lines on everyone else, but when I go it's like they suddenly forget how to draw nice lines.

Now it is custom artwork but it's 1 circle with a dot in it, another circle with 2 lines, and another circle with 3 lines. Plus 2 Trapeziums (one outer edges longer, one opposite way).

First place I got it done was Acrylics but they peeled off. I booked at a different place that was recommended to me, that were GEL nails (and after like 6 weeks I actually love the gel, even if I wasn't happy with the artwork)

Now I did like the service at the second salon, simply because the girl actually clipped off my cuticles and sanded all the dry skin back from my finger edges (I pick my skin until I bleed if there's ANY cagginess but I am trying to get better...) and I have stupidly thin brittle bendy breakable nails that flex like rice paper.

I live in Kingswood, and would appreciate somewhere close by, however I dont mind travelling for it within Bristol if I get the result I actually want​. Paying £85 for nails and artwork seems a little annoying when the quality of the work is something I could probably do at home.

I will post a picture of one nail (because my nails are unique and likely identifiable but oh well) and then put the reference pic up.

Can someone please tell me whether my expectations are too high?​ There's a million places in Bristol that seem to be able to do all these complicated flowers and lace lookalike and ombre and fine detail, but yet when it comes to mine it's like they used a tippex marker! And it's not like I'm asking for the Mona Lisa on my nails....

Does anyone know the Lion Stores opening times? I havent seen it open in a while so just wanted to check it was still open...

I'm a casual player. Been a while since I've had a good game!

£5-£10 buy in?

I have some friends visiting this weekend and they want to climb Glastonbury Tor on Sunday. Does anyone know of a pub nearby there that does a decent roast?

just lost my previous job now I'm basically on a ticking time bomb until my savings run out and it's stressing me out

Hello everyone

Lately I've been craving some nice crusty well fired (burnt) rolls but I can't seem to find any place that sells them!

If anyone knows of such a place I'd appreciate the information!

Thankyou!

Hi all, Will (he/him) here.

I was teaching the Level 1 Discovering Improv course on Monday nights, and last night was meant to be the final session.

The theatre's sudden closure meant that class didn't go ahead, and as a freelance instructor at the BIT I don't get contact details of my students (and fair enough, there are good reasons for that) so I'm not able to reach out to them directly.

I'm turning to Reddit to see if I can get them to reach out to me, because I want to offer the final week of Discovering Improv in some form, because it is a joyful course and this is a really sucky and disappointing end.

I've previously had success finding people through Reddit (such as finding Davids for Task Lord last year), and hoping the community will be able to reach my students and put them in touch with me.

Please DM via Reddit. I will ask some questions to confirm identities so we know who each other are! Right now I'm not looking to teach new people, just finish this particular course.

(But if you are also interested in future Improv teaching offers, I'm now much more open to work)

Thanks in advance,

Will

Edit: 1 student found, 8 to go!

What are peoples experiences with churches in Bristol, I currently go to E5 which is has really good truthful sermons but the vibe itself i dont think is for me, ive had a look at a few diffrent ones but again dont seem to gel with them.

Can anyone recommend me churches to try, I mainly want one that has good truthful sermons/good pastors, good/close and well connected community for support and fellowship and ive recently just had a son and would like to find my home church before committing to anyone as id like to be able to trust their sunday school.

Thank you in advance.

My mom and I have been in Bristol since last Tuesday, we spent the weekend in Cardiff and most of today in Bath. We’ve had some great meals here, loved the public transport (compared to the US), we did St Nicholas Market and we’re gonna hit M Shed and SS Great Britain tomorrow morning. What’s one or two more things we have to see before we go back to Seattle on Thursday morning? Thanks in advance!

I think an important part of what makes the Nottingham tram work is the guaranteed journey time despite the rush hour. Some roads where made one way to cars, or trams only; traffic lights favour the trams. I think you would need similar for this scheme, but it should need less digging up the road compared to rail

Hi!

For context i’m a first year UOB student and i’m also gay - I live in a 95% straight accommodation and only have a few queer friends here, whereas at home, most of my friends are queer or at least very supportive allies.

I’m always happy to go and party at “straight” clubs but i obviously enjoy a gay club - of which i’ve tried OMG - not gay in the slightest🤣.

Are there any actual gay spaces where i can go that aren’t full of straight men who are there to find girls and get awkward when there are openly queer people within 10 feet of them.

Preferably an open club, not necessarily a sex positive club but that wouldn’t put me off even though i’m not necessarily into that haha.

Any recommendations for gay clubs that actually have queer people in them?

Thanks!!

I’m currently on a bit of a road trip, stopped in Liverpool for a couple days and they’ve got a load of great Irish bars. Not tacky, corporate rubbish but authentic look and feel of a proper Irish boozer. Bristol needs this in my opinion. I know we’ve got Seamus o’ Donnell’s but that’s more of a gay/drag bar these days and way too small.

Found these interesting and looking to buy some stuff.

Do they have Instagram handles or stores if anyone can help me place them, please
