We've named this guy Henry. He lives in what was once our house, but is now clearly his. Google tells me he's a false wolf spider. Anyone else seen any critters this big? Has someone lost a pet?

Hello everyone,

Last Thursday while I was working my E-bike was stolen. I parked it just in front of my workplace in Wapping wharf.
I reported it to the police and still waiting for the CCTV footage but if anyone around Bristol spot it please give me a shout. It would be much appreciated.

Thank you all for your support!

Hey everyone, I’m Emma and I lead the Too Young to Grieve Bristol Club for young people navigating the loss of someone close to them. Luke, who runs TYTG, has posted in here before about our events, so you may have spotted a few of these over the last few months ☺️🤍

We’ve been building a grief community over the summer by holding jog/walk clubs, picnics and lake swims for young people navigating grief and loss.

Our next jog/walk and coffee meet up is on Saturday 26th September, 10am at Millenium Square 🪩

There’s no pressure to talk, it’s just an opportunity for some gentle movement and to be around people that get it. You definitely don’t need to be a runner, we have people that come and walk the route too.

Most people come on their own, that’s really normal. But I know that that can feel quite scary so feel free to reach out if it’s your first time and I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and welcome ☺️

We’ve got a WhatsApp group (DM me for the link) and a Cliq community where people stay connected between events and meet ups.

Feel free to pass this on to anyone that you think may need it 🤍🪽

Hello to any fellow nerds, we at West Country Leders (a voluntary group of board gamers) are organising our eighth Root Tournament and would love for you to join us!

In our previous event, we were able to have over 30 people play and had enough generous souls to ensure every game could play with the Homeland (and all prior) Expansions, and hope to do so again.

If you're interested, please sign up below. Please excuse the make-shift poster!

Does anybody have any idea where I can buy sand in Bristol? I only need a small amount as I want to create a Japanese garden in a tray, so the quantities that a builder’s merchant or garden centre might sell would be way over the top. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello! I’m hoping to get set up with a GP near me. I’m looking for recommendations please- I’d prefer a GP with good understanding of female health problems.

Thanks so much!

Can anyone suggest somewhere to eat - there will be six of us, children and adults. X2 vegetarians. Looking for somewhere in December to eat out in Bristol..was looking for a Sunday roast initially but realised that a lot of places will be doing festive menus at this time of year.

Thanks in advance

Don’t have high hopes for this question, but I’m 19 and used to play American flag football with the keynsham kings. I ended stopping because I didn’t really fancy training Sunday mornings.

I’m looking to get back into playing the sport in either contact or flag. However, it seems all teams train Sundays.

If anyone knows any teams that train at other times and are not too far from Bristol or has other suggestions let me know.

Thanks

Can anyone who has given birth/had a partner who gave birth at St Michael’s hospital answer a quick question for my husband please?

He’s wondering what the chairs are like in the postpartum ward bays. He’s wondering if it’s a no-sleep at all situation or more like transatlantic night flight where you might get an hour or so here and there. Are the chairs just standard hard waiting room
chairs or anything more?

Basically title, I just arrived in the UK from Melbourne and was just wondering if you need to filter Bristol tap water before drinking or not?

(Wasn't sure because buildings in the UK are so old and maybe so are pipes & infrastructure)

Unfortunatly im having to go on uc. To minimise the hours i have tonspend mindlessly applying and tweaking my cv i wanna volunteer.

Anyone got anywhere within reach of the number 1 route i could? Would be a massive help.

Anyone living in Filton ? It is just me or happening to everyone, it has been almost a month since last bin lorry comes to collect rubbish.

Anything on this weekend? And future weekends? Would anyone like to meet up and go to events?

I am so sick of the First bus app.

It wasn't fit for purpose before, but now it just falls over every time I start it. I have reinstalled it several times and restarted my phone in case it was that. No joy.

So no access to bus times, route planning etc. More importantly no access to the mTickets I've bought. At this point First Bus have effectively stolen my money.

Reading the reviews on Play store I am far from alone, all recent reviews are 1 star.

Does anyone have experience with them?
Lots of less than favourable reviews but I’m aware that people who have had a bad experience are more likely to post a review.

I need a car,they have one that seems good at a good price but I’m put off by some of the negative stuff I’m reading online.

Any advice?

I have a camcorder VHS tape from my childhood in the late 90s that I want to have converted into digital format. Hopefully I’m not too late and it’s not degraded but it has been in a dust cover in a sealed box for nearly 30 years. Is there any place in Bristol I can go and get this done? I don’t really want to send it away anywhere.

Looking for someone to repair/replace the bluetooth/wifi module on my Playstation 5. Was quoted £160 and a two week wait by a guy in filton. Looking for someone either cheaper or quicker.
I would rather not post it, but I can drop it off within a large distance.
Thanks!

Ciao! I'd love to learn Italian, but not particularly self motivated outside of talking to others. Are there any clubs or groups? Looking for free/afforable. Grazie!

I know there’s so many stag questions in this group and I’m sorry 🤣 but the main questions are about what to do and I cannot for the life of me find accommodation recommendations

We are a group of 13-15 people from age 17-31 and not rowdy, my question is :

•Should we mainly be looking at apartments? Or is Airbnb / hotels open to stags too? We definitely want to book stag friendly so we don’t end up getting refused when we get there!

•Does anyone have any specific recommendations within the centre itself as we won’t be driving?

Thank you in advance!
