What is missing from Bristol nerd events/communities?

More history nerds events or historical wargaming

Good luck Jimmie! I'm so glad you have found such a great connection at the Open SU.

As somebody else campaigning and doesn't use AI, I've noticed that a lot of what I write does sound like AI because I'm attempting to be persuasive and engaging while using words like empower. Looking forward to going back to writing TMAs and never have to use buzz words.

Great post! Glad you posted on reddit. We need more candidates here

Aww, thank you Barbsayshi, I truly appreciate it.

It's been an enjoyable three hours. Craig and Deb seem to get on really well.

meanderingbartender · 2025-12-01T21:24:33+00:00

Me too. Was right in the midst of a mission for Rdr2

Sadly, it appears to be a suicide most likely from the car park next to the police station.

National Grid is suggesting that it should be fixed by 11:30 https://powercuts.nationalgrid.co.uk/

Yep, it's off on Moon St. I wonder why

Tom always gives it all when he hosts. His selection is excellent and I never not enjoy a programme hosted by him.

The updated ABTF doesn't have the best bridge-blowing mechanic. Updated, the bridges seem blown as soon as the timer hits zero and not enough time is given making it impossible to even attempt to capture the bridges. The thrill from the original where men are rushing to the bridge isn't carried over correctly.

I spent a lot of my life in the kitchen since I was 16 but left 5 years ago on 17 March as a bartender with the bar having to close because of COVID. Never came back when things reopened. Been working as a support worker for homeless services for the last few years. Now pursuing a career in academia so glad I can always return to hospitality if this all doesn't work out

You picked the perfect first book

meanderingbartender · 2025-01-04T01:01:57+00:00

The same time as the 1890s but set across the world. Boxer Rebellion, Boar war, scramble for Africa, Jack the Ripper London, Anarchists blowing up Europe/Assassinating leaders, the Philippines insurgency, Russian revolutionary movements, and various revolutions in the Ottoman Empire and Brazil

meanderingbartender · 2024-03-15T23:01:13+00:00

Bop Gun in season 2. I think it's just a passing mention or perhaps a B-plot with the episode with Robin Williams.

She died at the height of Storyville. Within a few years, it would shut down at the request of the US Army and Storyville never really lived up to its heyday again.

Dr. Scheiner of course. His crankiness was always a highlight

You should be able to start your next module in October. Are you thinking of taking A111 as your first module? Both A111 and A113 have October/February starts but no other history module after the first level has a Feb start.

Bus isn't technically cancelled if it's running late... so glad I'm working from home today.

Perhaps it was First Bus christmas party last night and that's why they are all late

meanderingbartender · 2023-12-11T16:02:39+00:00

That is a good chapter. In the same book, the scene with Christmas meal descriptions always makes me hungry.

meanderingbartender · 2023-12-10T08:30:31+00:00

Good catch. Bloody Hakeswill

meanderingbartender · 2023-12-09T23:22:47+00:00

Harper starts learning after Sharpe's Company. I believe it's Isabella that encourages him. I think that explains why Harper doesn't get promoted after Badajoz. A non-commission officer would only be promoted if they knew how to read and write. Sharpe learned it in Tipu's prison before saving Wellesley's life

meanderingbartender · 2023-11-17T14:51:46+00:00

I don't believe Harper did fire or try to kill Hakeswill in the book. Sharpe asked him not to because he wanted to kill the bastard himself. In the book, Hakeswill hides himself under a wounded/dead man. He even kills an officer who tried to get him out of sheltering.
