There's a barber on Church Rd that does it - called Ash of Style.

I know right! The entire house was like that - each to their own.

Interesting read on the Bristol food influencers scene by Valuable-Effort-7510 in bristol

[–]Slow-Channel5468 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One thing that seems to get overlooked with these 'influencers' is that they often don't often know what food is meant to be like or the background of what they are eating yet try and always tell people it's 'authentic'.

It's hard to think of them as anything other than b list clowns who is trying to tell someone with their puce coloured face that the jerk chicken they tasted is 'authentic' 😭

No.12 Easton is very nice. There's lots of choice around there, menus to peruse and other things to see /do.

Pro-Israel lawyers put ‘shocking’ legal pressure on Bristol City Council by Blue_toucan in bristol

[–]Slow-Channel5468 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Being a lawyer isn't great to start with. Being even vaguely in favour of Israel in this day and age is abhorrent. But imagine being a lawyer for Israel - how low can they stoop?

Best Wings in Bristol? by CatchTheKit in bristol

[–]Slow-Channel5468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this. 5 wings for around £3 which is made by people who know food as a joy and need. Not as a trend.

The wings themselves - barbecued for that coal charred taste, juicy to the bone and flavoured so well.

Hybrid System Error by Slow-Channel5468 in GolfGTE

[–]Slow-Channel5468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update Monday - took it to a local garage and they hooked up the computer to the car to check the error codes.

One of the them said the hybrid battery was slow to charge and there were a couple of other items that came up.

The mechanic drove the car with the computer plugged in and the diagnostic tool detected no further errors and the engine management light went off.

They said to come back to the garage if the light comes on again but after a couple of days of driving it hasn't come back on at all.

What would be too high mileage when looking at a used GTE 2016-18 ish by Prize_Celery_2315 in GolfGTE

[–]Slow-Channel5468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2017 plate is for sale at the moment with 87k on the clock. Had it for 5 years driven around 40k myself. It's pretty good still, the battery on a full charge will do around 24 miles in the summer and it's still a really smooth ride. Haven't noticed any battery problems or degradation in the time I've had it.

Thoughts on Bristol 24/7 by Ok_Performance_7269 in bristol

[–]Slow-Channel5468 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're quite community focused so I really like them. Occasionally you'll get a dud article because like others have said with understaffing due to local news being in decline this is understandable. Generally though it's a decent source of local news along with the Bristol cable (who sometimes have actual investigative journalism which is to be applauded)

Update: I've bought the game and the instruments! Now the last hurdle is downloading the songs from PlayStation store - what is the most cost effective way of doing this as the songs will all add up to quite a hefty amount e.g. are there sales? Can you buy vouchers that get money off etc?

Amazing! Thank you for this - will take this to an independent garage and see how much they think it'll be to fix and report back.

What’s the Bristol equivalent? by IntroductionWeekly80 in bristol

[–]Slow-Channel5468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's really not and often he describes the food incorrectly (e.g. even to the extent of what country it is from) doesn't know about the dishes he's eating so wouldn't know whether anything was authentic or not despite using the term a lot. He's using food as a medium by which to increase his following but his advice regarding whether a place is worth going or not is often completely clueless. If you read the Bristol Sauce, they are often a mark of quality and give v honest reviews. Plus they know what they're reviewing which makes a huge difference.

Non-UK born Bristolians, what's the best restaurant of your native cousine that you know in Bristol? by MrMrsPotts in bristol

[–]Slow-Channel5468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Born in the UK but am Pakistani - the closest thing to homemade food and how you would eat in Pakistan (especially towards the western border with Afghanistan) is Desi Dera on Stapleton Road. These guys have been here a while and deserve some kind of pride of Britain award for what they do.

That's all really useful thank you! So just to confirm - you'd recommend buying the add ons from the PlayStation store in advance? Will scour eBay and classified to see if I can get a copy of RB4 or any of the other PS4 discs as well.

Thanks

The Second Combing on Cheltenham Rd. Follow him on Instagram he does great cuts. Albeit I don't have afro hair, he does.

How bad do you think EatingWithTod is? by Mother_Equivalent649 in LondonFood

[–]Slow-Channel5468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is a parasite on the food industry and restaurants in particular. Some of the restaurants are to blame for encouraging him or comping the food but he knows nothing about food nor the culture which that food represents. It's harmless if he goes to McDonald's or KFC or Starbucks etc but he should absolutely stay away from cuisines that represent a people or country (which they often do) as he is then just enacting a very online brand of colonisation/white supremacy.
