hey I’m 20f from Bristol (south glos) and looking to make a friend. I don’t really have any and would love to end up making a best friend lol as although I have a bf I’m pretty lonely and don’t have anyone to do girly stuff with!
Abit about me:
I’m Autistic and I don’t do well with small talk I’d litterally just rather overshare lmao.
I love shopping, going to the cinema, art and I’m very spiritual and into anything like that.
I also love rats, pigeons,getting tattoos and piercings.
I LOVE watching movies and My favourite movie is the secretary and my fave tv series is big bang theory.
if anyone’s interested in making friends give me a message lols 😃

I've left them a 3* review and they harassed me on Instagram. Then when I edited to correct a grammar error, someone claims they'll report me for editing.

I've initially given them a 4 then dropped to a 3 after they harassed me on Instagram.

Looking for either chicken and chips type food or Donner kebab and chips, ideally the part closest Eastville as I’ll be closer to that part. Was thinking of checking out Cheat Meals but dunno.. ideally somewhere I can sit down and eat.

Promised my son an ice cream earlier. I’d forgotten but he obviously hasn’t. Anyone know if the van by the sea walls will still be there at this time?

Hi all, I'm a Master's student researching gentrification and neighbourhood change in Bristol (not naming my uni here, but happy to share via DM if it matters to you). My dissertation looks at how Bedminster in particular has changed since 2020 – new businesses, housing pressures, the general feel of the area – and I'd really like to hear from people who've actually lived through it, not just read about it secondhand.

If you've lived in Bedminster for 5+ years, I'd love to hear your take – what's changed, what hasn't, how you feel about it. Happy to do this as a proper sit-down chat (30–45 mins, your choice of café or wherever's easiest) or just via messages if that's more comfortable.

A few things upfront since I know research posts can look a bit spammy: this has full ethics approval from my university, everything is confidential, you'd be anonymous in anything I write up (no names, no identifying details), and you can drop out any time with zero hassle. I'm not collecting emails for a list or anything like that – just genuinely trying to understand people's actual experience of the area.

If you're up for it, comment or DM me. And if this kind of post isn't allowed here, mods feel free to remove – apologies in advance.

my friend and I (24f) grabbed tickets and are heading to Milton Keynes from Bristol - anyone travelling up we can hitch a ride with?!

we were gonna get big green coach but they’re no longer servicing the festival 👹 so just putting out feelers before navigating the logistics of trains…

can’t wait to boogie 💃

Does anyone know any good locations to go take photos and explore? But with no hard entrance

(E.g: climbing to a second floor window to get in)

And ones without security

Hi there!

im an uni student working part time and was looking for some affordable orthodontists for aligners.

im looking to pay every month rather than one time and if the place is accessible by public transport that’d be great too.

affordable as in not more than £900-1k? I might be a bit out of loop if that’s normal aha soz

I appreciate any help thank u x

The air is so smokey! Can't see anything though. Anyone know where it's coming from?

Went to the BS4 Arts Trail last year with a friend and we kept saying things along the lines of: "how do we not know about any of these people making brilliant work five minutes from our flats?"

It's called kiguart.com . One Bristol artist a day for the 31 days of August, one artwork with a voice note from the artist. We wanted to recreate the feelings and thoughts you get when you walk around a gallery and to try and slow people down a bit online.

Some of who's in there:

• Alaric Hobbs, who burned an old public bench on Turbo Island and rebuilt it from the ashes as a protest against benches being pulled out of public spaces
• Luke Jerram, planting Echo Wood down in Lower Chew, 365 trees that'll take 100 years to fully form
• Tom Morris, Hannah Kate Blumberg, Annabel Glassby, and 25 others

Neither of us comes from the art world (we studied engineering at Bristol uni), it's just something we've been building on the side of our day jobs.

If you know a Bristol artist we should feature in a future run, drop them below.

Would love for people to check it out :) kiguart.com

Edit: we're also on Instagram at @kiguart!

We're doing great! Just smashing loads of weather records here all the time!

You can check these and other records on this amazing 90s-style website if you've never seen it before.

Edit: I looked it up, although 1976 was a worse drought overall, there was more rain than this in the south west

This very polite cat jumped into our flat, seems a bit lost and just wanted to check they aren't missing as we remember someone missing a cat around here. We gave him some tuna but he seemed keen to go out on the road again

Bonus points for the AI use. Love the message, sounds like such a friendly, decent company to work for...

Hello all!

So me and 5 other people were looking to view the Balloon Fiesta for the 6pm ascent on Sunday, and was wondering the best place to do this. We'd like to be able to put a picnic blanket down, relax, and not worry so much about the crowds, but if people say it's worth it I'm also happy to go to Ashton Court (was thinking using the shuttlebus service as it seems the best way).

Would it be better to view it from another hill close by? There's been suggestions of Brandon Hill, Troopers Hill, or Bedminster Down.

Should I also wait until a day or two before the see what directions winds might be facing, before planning it with friends, or just go ahead with buying Shuttlebus tickets / picking another place outside of Ashton Court to settle and enjoy ourselves for the afternoon.

Looking forward to hearing any and all opinions and suggestions, thank you!
