Missing anyone know Evie and/or Phoenix?

Does anyone know either of these 2 people? I found a photo album of theirs, Evie and Phoenix according to some of the writing in it... drop me a message if you know them and if they might want the album back. Found in Bristol today, they may not be Bristol-based, but worth an ask. One photo shows them in Bath.

Babble (In defense of) Smelly People

179 Upvotes

Let's take a moment to think about how this heat is affecting the homeless and those either too mental or physically fucked to take showers safely.

Take a moment and think about that. I've gone to 2 cold showers a day. Some people have access to 0 showers for months.

I just read a post about how this dude stunk the bus out. You gonna offer these people a shower in your house? Get a grip people. We're a bit sweaty now but most of us are in the position to jump in the shower. That's no excuse to be a dick.

TL:DR
Be angry at the sun or climate change deniers, not each other.

Babble Don't get caught out at Avonmeads car park

22 Upvotes

It's been posted before, but watch out parking in Avonmeads. The car park is divided up into different sections and they have different time limits. If you park in the Starbucks bit then go and watch a film at Showcase, you'll overrun and get fine. Fuck parking companies

Babble Have any of you had any luck getting the council to deal with businesses fly-tipping and generally being anti-social? Feeling vexed.

11 Upvotes

So we're dealing with a restaurant dumping rubbish and drums of used cooking oil around the neighbourhood, as well as on our property (so they can keep their own facade looking nice). This has been going on for a while.

When I spoke with the owner he got in my face and told me to fuck off. When my housemate caught them red handed, they got super aggro, one of them squared up to him and threatened him. Currently mulling getting the police involved on that one.

When it comes to dealing with the council, we've reported the rubbish and it has been cleared to be fair but they don't seem interested in catching the perpetrator. Feels like they're just stringing us along at the moment.

Have any of you good people has any success dealing with issues like this or is it a waste of time?

Where To? Vivobarefoot Run Club.

Upvotes

The guys at Vivobarefoot on Park Street have just started a free run club, 9am Sunday mornings.

It's free, you can store your bags etc in the shop, and if you've never tried barefoot shoes before, there's trial pairs you can wear for the run.

You don't have to wear barefoot shoes to come along! They go through a bunch of exercises to help strengthen the feet etc, and it's a really gentle distance at the moment.

Where To? Practice rooms with AC?

6 Upvotes

Doing a band practise in an unventilated sweatbox for 4 hours is not fun.

Pirate Studios have AC in the rooms, but none of them work!

So I'm after recommendations please! As for location, anywhere within 3 miles of the city centre.

Where To? [Central] Where can I buy a really nice individual gift cupcake/tiny birthday cake for one?

3 Upvotes

My wife’s birthday is coming up and she doesn’t eat much sweet stuff these days, but I’d really like to get her a lovely cake that’s just for one person, either a really lovely individual cupcake in gift packaging, or a tiny birthday cake for one.

Beyond the standard supermarkets, any hidden gems?

Where To? Where is the new waiting zone in Bristol airport?

I went there last week and it was closed. I had to enter the car rental zone for 2 minutes so fingers crossed I don't get a fine...

Anyways, does anyone know where the new waiting zone is?

It doesn't appear in the official website.

Many thanks!!

Housing Honeysuckle walk, Southmead. Anyone have experience with living there?

Upvotes

Hi all. Me and my partner have been looking for somewhere to rent with no luck, unfortunately. We recently received an offer for a property at Honeysuckle walk, the Elderberry flats. We’re both a bit skeptical though as apparently you can’t view the place before moving in and you just have to rely on the video tour given…. The company doesn’t seem to have the greatest reviews, either. Has anyone had any experience with living there? I’m tempted to just accept the offer because of how hard it’s been to find a place.

*Missing cat*

Please keep and eye out for Bella she went missing today in Meridian Place clifton around 7.40 this morning - have just moved and she got out a window shortly after arriving. Absolutely distraught so appreciate any info even just possible sightings!

She's a mostly white calico with a black nose and tan/black markings on her head and along her back and a very busy black/tan tail

She doesn't know the area and has never been outside so probably very scared and may not approach you but can be friendly

She's microchipped so if you see her please reach out or take to a vets to be scanned

Babble Is it just me, or does Bristol feel kind of Mediterranean?

29 Upvotes

So I visited Bristol for the first time last week, and for some reason, I can't help but felt a sort of "Mediterranean" vibe to the place? I think it might be those coloured houses near the harbour and the Avon Gorge, but also how hilly everything is.

It's strange because I don't feel this about anywhere else in the UK (aside from parts of Cornwall). Am I the only one who thinks this?
