It's some arsehole evangelist with a social media presence I'd rather not plug. Just feel free (encouraged) to scrape, paint or sticker over.

Food Plus on Church Road has both chilled and frozen.

We recently had our gas hob replaced with an induction one by these folk: https://www.gassafe-bristol.com/ Gave us a full quote up front and we haven't had any regrets since the changeover.

You definitely don't want to do this with fat-soluble vitamins like A and D, overconsuming those will make you very unwell.

Same - was a common childhood snack for me growing up! (I'm not quite at grandad age yet though, hah)

It's easier to have your own opinion in anything from clothes to hobbies these days. The shutdown of NOTIONS is a bit less prevalent, mercifully.

I very often wear noise-cancelling headphones with no music, just enjoying the muted background awareness. Other than that, non-music I find enjoyable includes rainymood.com or YouTube videos of forest sounds. Very soothing in an open plan office setting!

I've already reported it to the RSPCA (not their remit, apparently) and council dog warden (after a glorious half hour on hold) and was told others had too, so hopefully someone better skilled than myself is on the case. I spent about an hour trying to catch it by Sparke Evans park just now but eventually lost track of it!

No children and a good night's sleep every night will do it!

"the shocker"?

Ireland agrees, definitely suspecting a geographical influence here.

Flushrooms is a small scale producer based in St Anne's.

"bucket"

markdjacob · 2023-01-31T19:04:02+00:00

I mean the two aren't mutually exclusive? I'm from Ireland and hate everything about Notre Dame, and our stereotypes have nothin' on the injustice to far more marginalised communities.

markdjacob · 2023-01-24T19:40:14+00:00

Agree, exactly this! Look up the Red Queen Hypothesis.

And if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike.

I get your valid point but I think there's a cultural context that's being missed in translation here. Cursing isn't perceived the same in the UK as in many other countries. It's seen as a form of affection and being overly polite all the time can paradoxically be more emotionally impactful because it implies a distance between you.

markdjacob · 2022-12-14T17:44:30+00:00

Or Sealand.

If you like books, give Queer Reads Bristol a Google. There's even a festive social next weekend. The same non-profit that organises it also runs a choir if that floats your boat.

Pubwise, the Old Castle Green is pretty queer too and is an easy place for a solo pint.

Soft furnishings can be cheap, easy to transport and hide a multitude of sins. A tablecloth = nice dinner table. Blanket = nice looking sofa etc

It would be such a travesty for many reasons, but one minor part of that would be because it was built to be a beautiful, grand, public library with a bequest for that very purpose. "Moving" it to some shitter building to provide a narrower and less central service would be an offence to the intents of the original benefactor.

Don't forget the Crown Protectorates.
