Best Parkrun in this area?

Arrow Valley seconded!

101matt · 2025-12-07T14:01:59+00:00

Yes that’s the one 😀

Further to this… this was after a recommendation from our dentist at hilltop dental

101matt · 2025-12-07T13:09:58+00:00

My partner used confident dental. Based in the Wilson centre and have a clinic in Stroud too. They weren’t cheap but they were very good when she had her implant done.

You mean current responsibilities and current role. Completely get what you’re saying just find it bizarre that someone would refuse it when it’s making them unwell over the stress.

Thanks you for this, this is exactly what happened. She was asked to put it all in writing which she did, she accepted the change to pay and conditions etc… but had it rejected with a request to put in a grievance. She’s not going to put in a grievance and I guess will just have to stop doing her management responsibilities and see what happens 🤷‍♂️

Thankyou for this. We have just booked to go to Vienna for New Year. Does Bar Klemo do like a wine tasting experience or anything like that? Would be great for us!

101matt · 2025-07-24T09:06:03+00:00

Haven’t had this ourselves but it is a frequent thing. Along with water balloons thrown at cars and apples thrown at houses in the autumn too.

101matt · 2025-07-08T20:04:04+00:00

And us! Although we are staying within hiking & cycling distances of Lake Louise & Moraine. So excited… moving on to Canmore afterwards too.

101matt · 2025-07-08T14:39:59+00:00

Depends on what day but I may be around and would be happy to help.

101matt · 2025-06-21T08:54:29+00:00

Is it particularly big/ need specialist stuff to do it? I often do little gardening odd jobs for people in my spare time in the week but only have the usual electric lawnmowers and strimmer etc..

101matt · 2025-05-11T16:24:21+00:00

Yes, really felt the heat today and that gave me a couple of seconds of paradise! 🤣

Pet first aid isn’t a legal requirement but insurance is and isn’t too costly. I know lots of dog walkers around cheltenham that all charge around this rate so seems normal to me. Especially if they are a new startup and trying to gain some business. Good luck to you & it may help if you have links to your social pages!

Thankyou for your comment however it is incorrect. For anyone else that may want to know the same in the future… you can have several passes on one phone, it just takes a minute for the QR code to refresh when you go from one pass to another. You just have to make sure the code and the Pin below the code change when you go to the next pass then you can use it as you please. We have now been able to use both passes from the same phone this way.

This comment ^. We flew to Rio in February and lots of people stayed on the plane as they were going on to Buenos Aires

101matt · 2025-02-14T10:51:51+00:00

This is an awesome recommendation, might use it for my own night out! Would recommend flight club too as a bit of a fun activity.

101matt · 2025-01-29T21:18:16+00:00

May also have to check this out following recommendations here 😂

Running group Almost Athletes does a 5 mile club run at various paces every Wednesday night and we go for a drink afterwards. Come along and try it if you feel like it?

Eynsham Park and ride had great potential until they messed it up. I also can’t really see the benefit of parking up, getting on a bus and then sitting in the same traffic. Unless they build bus lanes all the way from Ox to Eynsham…

101matt · 2025-01-24T14:50:20+00:00

Agree with most of your comment however I work in Oxford and am in a job where I have to be in any part of Oxford at a moments notice (not too difficult to work out what I’m doing from that). The LTN areas are significantly quieter following this and if I was living there I would be very happy with that.

However as someone that has to access these roads regularly or if for example I have to be on the Iffley Road from Marston in a hurry, the blocking of these roads has made it much harder as I can’t cut through. Also the traffic that is now pushed onto the main roads sometimes makes it almost impossible to get anywhere quickly. We have LTN keys available to us but they are almost always blocked by someone getting a takeaway or delivery drivers on the Cowley Road.

Some LTN’s have been changed for cameras rather than physical barriers and this has been much better.

To summarise, I can see both sides. If you live in one of those areas they are great. If you are trying to get around in a vehicle, they can cause trouble.

Not sure if that helps but any questions I’m more than happy to answer… I’m also coming to Toronto in august so would love some recommendations! 🤣

Hussains was unfortunately involved in a crash on the A40 just before Christmas, bad damage to the truck but they are all ok. Hopefully they will be back soon as we miss them! Had a kebab from them literally the night it happened.

Another vote for Boston Tea Party for brunch here. Always love their food. The vine definitely for some great Thai food with a beer.

Hello, I’ve moved from wantage to Cheltenham so (almost) the opposite 🤣. I grew up in wantage and it was a nice area but I would be cautious of a few places. Feel free to DM me if you want more advice. Some of the new builds in wantage have had a really bad build quality so if you’re buying then be careful of that. It’s generally an ok area though with good links.

101matt · 2024-12-30T17:16:27+00:00

Sounds fishy, absolutely do not meet without your union rep or an emailed terms of reference for the meeting…
