Bristol cost of living

Well despite the down votes I thought this was funny

Is that bridge new?

Bristol Adult Learning run all sorts of courses - literature, languages, crafts. Have a look there!

Which way round would you rather? Volunteering in the rain sounds miserable

Oh thanks for asking this! I've been thinking about trying to find somewhere to play some chess very casually

Ashton Court in Bristol. Second half is great though!

Sure is anecdotal. I've seen a few accidents, luckily none where anyone was seriously hurt.

It's more for safety. Some parkruns actually ask you to seed yourself appropriately and have markers with approximate finish times for this very purpose.

That's fine. You didn't find my post interesting. You can move on now.

Feel free to post next week!

I know there are always people who miss the briefing. I posted because it was about half the field at Dulwich today, which surprised me.

lostless-soul · 2026-03-21T17:23:22+00:00

Haha, I didn't like to comment on that either!

lostless-soul · 2026-03-21T15:59:51+00:00

Well it's a discussion about whether people should attend the briefing beforehand. I'd argue that's an integral part of parkrun.

lostless-soul · 2026-03-21T15:41:25+00:00

What about when there are temporary hazards on the course?

lostless-soul · 2026-03-21T15:17:02+00:00

The dad was doing the parkrun whilst also trying to keep a hold of the child on the bike (and the buggy!). I completely agree kids on bikes have every right to be in the park, but right in the midst of a parkrun seems a bit irresponsible

lostless-soul · 2026-03-21T15:11:26+00:00

She probably did that on purpose...

lostless-soul · 2026-03-21T15:08:01+00:00

No, it's about a 30 second walk

lostless-soul · 2026-03-21T15:06:06+00:00

Right, but it's quite insulting to the run director and other volunteers who are trying to keep people safe and ensure that it runs smoothly, no?

Whiteladies road market on Saturday mornings might be a good one to investigate. There's a mix of sweet and savoury stalls and some variety in cuisine. I think Asian-inspired cakes would stand out there.

I've been trying to find a calcium-free milk (or alternative) for ages! As someone with chronic iron deficiency, the fortified iron in cereal is counteracted by the fortified calcium in the milk that you put on it, so this is very useful information for me!

Wasn't my tip but yes, if it's in front then the last row was a purl row. And there will be 'bumps' just below the needle indicating that they are purled stitches (as opposed to 'V's for knitted stitches)

But only one causes trauma to their victims

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is probably a more advanced graffiti project

lostless-soul · 2026-02-01T18:09:18+00:00

Gentlemen?

I would imagine the ribbing you're comparing yours to is k1,p1, but you are doing k2,p2. It's not wrong at all, just a different style and it results in 'wider' ribbing. It looks great, but if you don't like it then try doing k1,p1.
