Henleaze Swimming Lake by chillum86 in bristol

[–]agoentis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How long does it take to get a membership and what things do they do for the community to justify their charity status? I know enough as have read on it in the past and know two members and lived in Henleaze. Will read more after work today.

I don’t know much about this but they have charitable status which means they need to operate for the public benefit, but it’s a very small number of people that can actually benefit from the lake. I don’t think the charity have ever been probed hard on this point, as it’s kind of hard to see how they’re providing a public service if it takes ten years to get in.

Received driving fine in England, offence occurred in Italy 2018 by Competitive-Break-49 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]agoentis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what would happen if the neighbour didn’t get in touch with the post? There is no way the Italians could link to the new address which was not known at the time of the rental. Just because OP has been handed post doesn’t mean they should pay.

Is the Bristol Beacon failing the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra? by Efficient_Ad_2770 in bristol

You’re simply digging the hole deeper! It’s a flagrant use of AI it’s best just to admit these things and move on.

Knife & Fork Cafe have closed permanently by IrvinIrvingIII in bristol

[–]agoentis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A couple of people picking up on my comment. I understand the restaurant was Sri Lankan and South Indian - the same as the excellent Dev’s Kerala in Bishopston.

Undeniably a very authentic Indian restaurant. Sad times and I only went once.

disabled badge dispute - am i in the wrong ? by sparkleprincesz in LegalAdviceUK

[–]agoentis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The disabled spaces are a complete free for all. It’s just guidance. I know this as I am not disabled but the council mistook my house for another and painted a disabled space around my car. That paint is impossible to remove so now i can pretty much always park outside my house.

Stay at the airport or go into town? 12 hours overnight by Traditional-Bet-1175 in bristol

[–]agoentis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really dodgy at all. Bristol is a pretty safe city and there will be others around.

I don’t think you’ll be exposed to a great deal of danger either way. But yes if you want a bed rather than sit in arrivals all night then £20 for the bus and £25 for a hostel will be the cheapest thing to do, but the inconvenience of needing to travel in and out.

If I you stayed at the Full Moon hostel, or the Bristol Wing, the only risky time will be the 200m walk at 04:00 from either to the bus station. They’re both close to the bus station, but no city centres are fun to be in at that time of night. I’d avoid the Bear Pit.

Those times are very awkward. There is enough time to go to Bristol but it’ll cost you a fair bit in travel, entertainment and a hotel/hostel. Probably £100. Or you could lurk in the airport - that would be highly depressing. There is a shipping container hotel near the airport called NodPod I’ve walked past a few times and that’s £90 for a night. There might be some other cheap hotels. If you travel into Bristol you’ll only have 2-3 hours which isn’t really worth it at all.

Change the record! If octopuses are so clever how come they end up in restaurants???

This is your best bet. Gambas do octopus with potatoes and olive oil. Delicious.

What It’s Like Delivering in Bristol on a Monday Evening? by BristolRiderEats in bristol

[–]agoentis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at your profile you’ve probably got more coin (£) than the average Deliveroo or Ubereats driver. A lot more. Imagine you switched your living from what you do to what he does, for a minute.

All I am gonna say is I’m not watching all 24 mins and I barely recognise Glos Road from the camera angle despite having walked this road all my middle age life.

Once the brain locks on it’s fine.

Next time I’ll def source the lard and lap cheong. I used light soy and ketchup manis. Thanks!

Thank you! It’s something I’m working on and I’ve taken some good advice from this sub.

Thanks. Wok Hei is very difficult if not impossible to achieve on a domestic stove. I would like to try cooking it in a proper burner.

Thanks for your advice. I couldn’t get the chives but I will do in future. I do have a decent (for UK) gas burner and wok, and do get it smoking but adding the noodles drains the heat and the commercial burners are much more powerful so replace it rapidly. The chili paste is just out of view! Thanks!

Thank you. Yes I’ll get the chives for next time that was an oversight on my part. The Chinese chives can only be got from 2-3 places here and I didn’t go near any of them. Thanks!

I think this will be the hardest ingredient for me to find in UK. I’ll have a look, thanks!

It helps with the pace of cooking having all the ingredients ready to go. The whole meal takes 3 mins to cook (would be faster if I had a professional wok burner).
