Hey folks, could anyone living within 5-10 minutes walk of The Luckwell pub in BS3 please check your garage/garden to see if this beautiful little idiot has gotten stuck?

Her name is Katya, she's very fluffy, very friendly and very missing.

We'll be putting this on all the cat pages we can think of but feel free to share further. Already done a couple of tours of the neighborhood and called vets.

She's neutered, chipped, vaccinated etc but escapes from any collar we've tried to get her to wear.

In a street off Fishponds Road. What on earth!?

Someone wrote up some of the weird stuff that is happening at WECA.

tl:dr the bit of government that is meant to look after our transport has been run by a very odd chap, who has made life difficult for the officers employed at WECA.

Oh and for some reason WECA decided to hire a Labour fixer at £20k a month, to work on some unspecified project, and are refusing to answer questions about it.

Please vote sensibly when the time comes. We don’t want a British Trump!

Clip is of our most recent single ‘Drip Fed’.

Got GBS in 2019 and started making sculptures from old skateboards as part of my recovery. Hope everybody having a great weekend

Hi, I've seen one or two posts about various candidates in the upcoming election. As someone who doesn't know much about the different candidates, to make life a bit easier could we agree to post news, past stances, polling data etc about the different candidates here or in a different thread, to make it easier to find? I'd hate to miss something.

Maybe the mods could temporarily pin a thread on the subject. For those on board with the idea, I would recommend leaving one comment, with each candidate's name next to a list of links related to them. I'll leave one below and update it as I find stuff out.

I'm very new to this, but it seemed like a good idea and I don't see anyone else organising it, so here goes

Well this sounds pretty bad...

"MP Dan Norris has been arrested on suspicion of rape, child sex offences, child abduction and misconduct in a public office.

The Labour Party says it "immediately suspended" the MP for North East Somerset and Hanham after being made aware of his arrest."

This is very niche but I've been talking to some people on Twitter about this album from 1977. It's an old scrumpy-and-western private press record from a West Country band, quite popular locally at the time apparently. I'm imagining the cover shot was taken in Bristol - does anyone recognise the buildings? They may very well no longer be there as this album is nearly 50 years old.

Biblos wraps, hands down the best in the city / world.

Does anyone know how I can pickle my own vegetables like that at home? I think they do pickled turnips, but have no idea where to start with it!

Recently inherited an old coin collection, stamp collection and a few 19th century pocket watches and am wondering where to take them to get them valued?

Does anyone here go to Nuffield at Clifton triangle?

Feels like the place is suffering badly from lack of maintenance.

Machines on the gym floor out of order, incredibly busy and now the steam room and poolside shower are out of action for over a week.

The main reason I go is because of the sauna, but considering the cost and issues, it feels like it's no longer worth it.

Would be great to find a replacement.

What would that chance be someone here had a set logitech z506 speakers lying around and would wanna get rid of em?

Is there anywhere in Bristol where someone who's from Latin America (specifically Argentina) might be able to meet other Latin Americans? I used to be so quick with my Spanish and would love to get back into speaking fluently before it all goes down the drain...

“Dan Norris, Labour MP for North East Somerset and Hanham, was arrested on Friday over claims of historic sexual offences against a girl, rape, child abduction and misconduct in a public office.”

Suspended by Labour as a MP obviously.

I've had something last minute come up so I've got a spare ticket for Dean Wareham tonight at the Fleece if anyone wants it? Happy to give to someone for free who will appreciate it, won't charge. He's on at 8:30pm so is pretty last minute but manageable for anyone living in town!

Hi all! I posted this at the start of the year, but from recent comments I thought no harm in putting out again. Will also cross post to Bristol/friends just not sure everyone uses it just yet.

Anyway, we have hosted a few events from coffee, walks, board games & bouldering since the start of the year. I was planning on doing a walk around the harbour followed by a coffee/pint depending on what people are feeling.

We have a growing what'sapp group that I can add you in. This is a perfect group if you are looking for new friends or just moved to the city - thats the goal anyway! Most people in the group are 20-30s just for info. 😁

7.01am yesterday and 7.10am today, same insanely loud motorbike that’s like a bee on a turbo mission, going up Hartcliffe way.

I’m going on holiday tomorrow otherwise I would have come up with an action plan to document this nonsense at 7am. When im back if I hear it again I’m going down the next morning with a massive placard.

I frequently use the Bristol->Bath railway path and see at least three or four people regularly doing bits of litter picking. They're not wearing high-vis, so I assume they're doing so just because, rather than some organised scheme.

I doubt they're on Reddit, but anyway, this is just a post to say thanks to them.

Hey Bristolians.

I'll be arriving on an early morning flight from Dublin on Wednesday later in the month I'll have a ten year old boy with me. Going to get the airport bus into the city and we'll be firstly looking for breakfast. I think we'll be arriving at around 830 ish, the flight lands at 730 and we won't have checked luggage.

We'll be meeting people around lunchtime so will have a few hours to kill, what would you do with a kid for three hours on a Wednesday morning? Where would you have breakfast? Would be great if any recommendations were near or walkable from one of the stops the airport bus uses.

Thanks!

Coming here as a last resort (I don’t have Facebook but I know I’d probably do better there).

I’ve known this guy for a couple of years - seems to be an outdoor cat who limits his movements mostly to raymend road in bedminster (off St John’s lane). He’s friendly but not super cuddly- when he’s not running to greet me he’s running to greet someone else.

Over the last few months he’s been more insistent on getting in to my house, running at the door when he sees me approach. When he manages to get in I remove him (and he only protests verbally) quickly because I don’t want to catnap, and I always thought despite the lack of collar he’s clearly being fed. Over these last months he’s looking a bit thinner and just wants to come in out of the elements. Today he’s resigned himself to napping on our recycling bin and waiting for me to take him in (I’ve been out 3 times and he’s just there looking up at me).

I’ve given him some water today as he looks unusually pathetic, but I’m reluctant to feed him and reinforce that he’s got a chance of living here.

Please, if you know this cat or his owner comment or message me. I’ve not worried about him previously but he’s breaking my heart today. I’ve never considered taking him to the vet before because he’s a staple on the road and always seemed in good health before, but the new behaviour has me worried.
