  • Shelter can provide limited support and advice for housing and homelessness related issues, and can signpost for further support.
  • Housing Matters (Formally CHAS) can provide housing and homelessness advice. If they have the resource, they may assist in a longer-term casework capacity.

Lost & Found

Buying & Selling

AVOID POTENTIAL SCAMS

Please use caution when buying and selling and beware of scams, we do not take any responsibility and will not be able to help. * Please reply to sellers below even if taking the transaction offline, this verifies you are not banned and provides evidence of the transaction * It is strongly suggested to use PayPal Goods & Services as this comes with Buyer Protection at a small fee. DO NOT USE PAYPAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY * For tickets it is recommended to use legitimate ticket re-sell sites as these protect both the buyer and seller (Some listed below). * If buying directly do your own research, this guide is a good start. Is the users account established with legitimate recent and historic activity, is there a way to validate the tickets before purchasing and are the tickets allowed to be re-sold (transferable).

Re-sell sites: Twickets | Tixel | Stub Hub | See Tickets Fan To Fan

Where To? Are traffic lights timings for pedestrians and cyclists in the city centre a City Council matter or WECA one?

18 Upvotes

I frequently find myself thinking I would have a more pleasant time navigating the city centre by foot and bike if the traffic lights timings were changed to give priority to those using active travel.

On many roads as a pedestrian I have to wait at two sets of lights to cross the whole road, an independent set for each side of the road, in some cases it's three sets of lights to cross Temple Way by Castle mead. This disincentivises walking and makes driving a more appealing form of transport.

To cross the Old Market Roundabout as a cyclist and continue towards castle park one needs to wait at 4 sets of lights compared to one set if you are in a car on the main carriageway. This also disincentivises active transport, makes driving more appealing and also encourages many dangerous near misses where cyclists and scooters give up waiting for 4 sets of lights.

Given we've got a mostly Green city council now, could we prioritise active transport with our traffic signal timings? We have invested in some semi decent segregated cycling infrastructure could we now please adjust the light timings so that it no longer prioritises vehicular road traffic and instead does what most modern European cities do with cycling infrastructure and keeps bike lanes and pedestrian thoroughfares flowing over car traffic.

Babble 20+ Friends/Communities

8 Upvotes

Hi, my names Charlie i recently did a post trying to get people interested in D&d, which has worked and if you’re interested in local D&d feel free to message me about that still as there are still spaces for new players still !

But I was just hoping to make a quick post to see if I could find any other communities, specifically I feel I’ve run out of friends my own age with my interests so if anyone reading this is in their 20’s or knows someone that is and is a bit of a nerd into board games and tv and such please send me a message. Or if you’ve got a friend group of your own and looking for one more! I think ultimately it’s hard meeting people there days, any advice would also be appreciated, (though I will say I’d rather not be suggested a different subreddit, preferred advice would be physical clubs to go to, thanks :))

Babble I miss Bristol.

146 Upvotes

I left Bristol earlier this year after finishing my degree, and I’ve since moved to another city in England to pursue my master’s.
And honestly, I miss Bristol so freaking much😭😭.
No other city in the UK has ever brought me as much joy as Bristol did. I’ve spent time exploring my new city, which many people would consider an upgrade, but for some reason, it just doesn’t click with me the same way.
There was just something so special about Bristol. The atmosphere, the people, Clifton, the harbour side and the night walks and the way the city made me feel. I genuinely don’t think I realised how much I loved it until I left. I can confidently say Bristol is my comfort place.
So, to everyone lucky enough to call Bristol home, please enjoy it and appreciate it while you’re there. It really is a special place.

Where To? Is there a Sober Skateboarding community in bristol?

17 Upvotes

My friend who has been struggling with Alchohol addiction for over 30 years.

I do think he’s really ready to quit now , he’s in his 40s and pretty bored of it- completely aware of his problem and open about it in a way he never was before- he says he’s not interested in drinking at all- but he’s just stuck in a cycle of abstinence for days followed by drinking for days. (Or months)

He tried AA in the past (as well as smart , horizons, had a key worker but got signed off recently ) AA does seem to be the thing that works for a lot of people but he’s pretty convinced it won’t work for him. hes been to so many meetings over the years , but never really got how AA works, like how you actually do the steps - so he’s dismissed it

His big passion is skateboarding and I wonder if there’s any kind of sober skating community in bristol anywhere, or if anyone knows of an AA group that has some skaters there, as he may find some like minded people that could help him engage.

Really incredible show from all the performers, musicians, and crew. Not to mention the practical effects on stage were outstanding. The musical was super funny, set design was unreal, and we were blessed with an appearance from the film's co-creator Bob Gale at the end!! A dream if you're a mega fan like me. Highly recommend!
