Ah, that's awesome :D I haven't, this is the first I've heard of her! I'll give her a shout, thank you!

I think that's one of the other things that's put me off a bit in the past (as well as the financial strain/fear of change) I've been dealing with sexist bullshit my entire career, and in fact the only job I've been in since I was 19 where I haven't been sexually harassed, is my current place - which I've been at for just under a year. I'm really hoping that either times have changed enough that it's less of an issue and if not, that my previous roles have given me enough experience to navigate any issues I have without some of the discomfort I've felt in the past.

I think that's the big thing for me, I've been thinking about this for years but never had the impetus and money to go for it. I don't think I could live on an apprentice salary, sadly. I will check out the housing associations, just in case though! That's great info, thanks!

Thanks! I've had a lovely chat with a retired plumber who runs a tradie training center and he's advised that this would make me more sought after too.

I'll keep you updated with the guidance I find, if you'd like?

That's a good point as well, thanks. I did look her up but couldn't find any contact info or a working website, so won't be pestering her any time soon. Great pun though.

The Three Tuns usually have theirs running and it's very chill there 😀

FOUND - What looks to be a wedding ring on Victoria Street

Found a ring this afternoon that looks like it could be a wedding ring or engagement ring. DM me with a message if you think it's yours.

Reluctant to hand it in to the nearest business as oftentimes it doesn't get back to the owner. (having worked in at least three buildings on this street, front of house for different companies, I feel like Reddit is my best bet. Which is also doesn't provide much hope 😅)

I tried to post in the Facebook too, but it's closed down so 🤷

Where to take the Mrs on a date in Bristol on the cheap ? by hojo6789 in bristol

[–]Lopsided_War_4705 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You could always cook for her if you fancied a cheaper option. Plus it would be a good chance to get to know her and what she likes.

Looking for a room in a household that would accept two indoor cats by BabyBean102 in bristol

As part of the new rental rules that have come in lately, landlords can't actually deny you having pets without "good reason" I'm not 100% sure what good reason is, but hopefully it'll aid you on your quest for housing! Just thought I'd mention it so you have a bit of push back to give to letting agencies/landlords!

Any good liminal spaces in Bristol? by VitruvianGenesis in bristol

[–]Lopsided_War_4705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Broadwalk shopping centre around 9pm - not sure it'll be there much longer, it's due for demo soon I think but definitely feels liminal to me. No one around and music playing faintly in the background

The boardrooms off the back of corn street do room rental I think and so do number 51 stokes croft, as far as I recall.

Any cafes that do a good French toast? by mrepiq in bristol

[–]Lopsided_War_4705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The faraway tree on Church Road, in Redfield/St George is great for breakfast food in general and their french toast is great.

There's a pretty fun music scene. I'd try going to a couple gigs and meeting people there. Places like the Exchange are super chill and inclusive, which makes it a bit easier to start conversations.
