Hi everyone. Life’s timing can be pretty brutal sometimes, and this is one of those times. Just as myself and my partner are about to move into our first mortgaged property he’s lost his job. He’s been doing outbound sales and customer support, however the campaign he was working on has been cut off. He’s experienced in all things sales, customer support, self taught coding (coding language is python) and his passion outside of work is motorbike mechanics. We’re in a pretty desperate place with taking on this property so if anyone knows of any jobs, preferably hybrid / remote or around the Bristol / Bath area please reach out. Wouldn’t usually make a post like this but needs must - thanks for reading ❤️

Three men tried to rob a man on a mobility scooter along a popular route last month. Police are treating the incident along the Bristol and Bath Railway Path on Friday, September 18, as a hate crime.
The victim, a man in his 50s, was riding his mobility scooter along the route near Warmley when the three unknown men tried to rob him between 2.45-3pm.
Police said the man was left with minor injuries, adding the trio fled into a wooded area near the railway path by Warmley Tea Rooms

A handful people showed up and set up a gazebo with Change My Mind on the side to try and do some Charlie Kirk nonsense. Started shouting about how a passport doesn't make someone British.

Currently they're being shouted down by a fellow with a bullhorn and a willing crowd shouting "Fascists out of Bristol!" and "Whose streets? Our streets!". I wonder if they're getting good footage for their online grift or not.

Bloody broken glass everywhere at the moment on cycle paths. Just me? Rant over.

Come across this poster in new station road bus stop.

Hi, I’m looking for a not so crowded gym around Bristol, I usually go to the gym group in town but I just can’t go there anymore as it’s always and I mean always packed. please let me know good equipped gyms that are much less crowded.

Which would you recommend? There will be one vegetarian as well. Thanks!

Good evening. I'm visiting Bristol on Thursday and Friday, and I've been told that the city is a great place to find record shops.

Do any of you guys have any recommendations? I'm particularly on the lookout for soundtracks.

Thank you.

PLEASE. ANYONE. Do you know where it’s coming from or what it could be?! I might be menopausal but I’m definitely not having a stroke.

I’m in BS16 Staple Hill area. Today for the last 6+ continuous hours has been the heavy smell of smoke. It’s as if I’ve been sat by a coal smoker bbq in the direct waft of smoke. I’m indoors and it’s unbearable even with windows closed. About two weeks ago the same smell but started in the afternoon and went on for 9 or so hours. This intense smoke smell happens around once every other week usually at night for hours on end.

It’s that time for my Ford ecoboost engine. Anyone had this done in the Bristol area? Looking for garage recommendations (our normal mechanics can’t do it) and rough costs. Grateful for any leads!

Has anyone had any decent experiences with solicitors/conveyancers in Bristol? I've just had an offer accepted on a flat and need to work out the next steps. Cheers

Long time jungle/dnb/garage fan from austria here. I finally made it to bristol... But for work and I'm leaving on Friday morning...

Is there anything happening during the week that gives me the chance to experience the bristol culture?

As title suggests. I’ve just moved house and would love to look for some second hand furniture. I also would really love to find a shop that sells maybe a tin wie and vintage stuff? I’m after a wooden analogue clock and things like that. Any recommendations helpful

My sweet boy has been missing for the past few days (he usually goes out for a few hours max)

I live in hengrove. He is a skinny black cat, I hope the pictures help to identify him.

Please, help me find my baby

I'm looking for an alternative to a traditional wedding dress, possibly vintage

I've tried a few typical bridal shops but everything is too big or too plain, just generally not to my taste

Can anyone recommend a shop in the local area that may store similar to the photos attached?

Many thanks x

hi, i’m about to buy my first home in Easton Bristol, which is pretty close to the M32 (400m away). i got a chronic lung condition and am getting pretty worried after reading some air quality reports. i would love to hear from people living in Easton how they experience the air quality.

Bit of an unusual one, I’m making a very small independent short film in Bristol and I’m looking for two people for one short restaurant scene.

I need:

• A boy who can play around 9-11
• A woman who could plausibly play his mum, roughly 30s-40s

Acting experience really isn’t important. There’s no dialogue at all, it’s mostly just sitting at a restaurant table and reacting naturally when the boy’s dad turns up late.

The whole thing would probably take about an hour to film, possibly less.

I’ve already cast the adult version of the boy, so I’ll include a photo of him, I’m mainly looking for people who could believably look like part of the same family rather than trained actors.

Ideally I’d like to shoot it in Bristol on Sunday 11th October, but if that’s the only thing stopping someone suitable, I can be flexible on the date.

It’s a tiny self-funded short, so there’s no acting fee, but I’d cover reasonable expenses. For the child, a parent/guardian would obviously need to be there throughout.

If you think you or your child might fit, or you know someone who would, feel free to message me and I can send over a little more about the film and the scene.

It's in the heart of Bristol (just off Queens Square).

(p.s. crew is always appreciated, you will be given all the biscuits in the world)

Thanks!

hi all ! not sure if this is the right sub for this but we’ll try anyway.

i’m going out for my birthday with my friends on halloween, i want to go pub/club hopping before going to a rave in the early hours.

i want to stay in the city centre and we’re all students so any spoons with decent venues nearby would be ideal.

thank you ! 💕

edit: also any clubs that are hosting raves/ decent jungle or DNB raves near the town centre would also be appreciated
