JTG said:Bristol has more Georgian stuff than Bath
And we have medieval stuff, which you don't.
Thing is, Bath has naff all else so you have to play on it a lot
Naff all else except the Roman bits. And some silly sod buried them for thousands of years. Then put Legionnaires in the water when it was dug up. Then built a spa with crumbling central pillars and non-waterproof paint in the baths.
As an aside, there is actually a medieval wall in Bath. The bit I've seen is only about 10 yards long though.

They built a wall around bristol to keep the inhabitants in, rather than other people out.
Mostly lived in Bath from 82 - 85
LOL @ Moles
LOL @ TFF, used to see them driving around in a poncy red sports car, twats
Um, Beau Nash
Um, Ralph Allen
lots of Japanese as well as Yanks
population triples in the summer
If you live there you can't go into town without meeting people you don't want to
generally a bit shit
madzone said:I thought Bath was really nice. We used to do gigs in Moles club in the 80's - Tears for Fears came to one of our gigs and were utter wankers, smashing glasses in the bar. The best thing about the venue was the manager/owner who just used to constantly moan about his irritable bowel

Hey, come on, Bath isn't THAT bad. Some of the people who live here are the stuck-up-their-own-arse type, ok so a lot of them are either posh or chavs, or now scene kids but meh. 
Its defiantely more interesting than where I used to live in the Cotswolds! Not as good scenary thought... Hmmm...

Heh. Welcome to bath G!
For health food, check out harvest on walcot street
The pub that used to play reggae changed hands and is now a posh steak bar
The farmhouse on landsdown should be starting up again soon though, and they'll be having some I imagine. The bell on walcot street occasionally has a reggae band in too.
And yeah, you're right at the top of a hill - are you on rosewarn close?

Bath is fun and looks nice. Bristol is boring and ugly.butterfly child said:Bathonians have always felt superior to Bristolians.
Bristolians KNOW THE TRUTH so laugh in the face of Bathonians.
HA!
Best bit of Bath is that fudge shop
Actualy Bath is boring too, that's why I don't live there anymore.
My department used to be just round the corner from that very wall.
Still, Bath had it moments and some fine 'brewer's foreskin in the cloudy scrumpy' type of pubs back in the day. I still can't quite believe that the Hat And Feather - home of many a debauched scene - has become a blinking posh steakhouse.
In general Bath seems to be growing ever more corporate and branded in its entertainment. Real shame - places like Larkhall really were great for independent shops.

Gmarthews said:The Bell looks good, found a forthcoming events list which looks OK, (see here).
Was hoping for a better climbing wall than that
Cheers for the tips. Any good cafes?
The bell's great
I really doubt they've got a climbing wall at bath spa though. Might do I suppose.
re: cafes in town, I quite like the jazz cafe for it's big brekkies and the cafe in the guildhall market for cheap fryups. Cafe retro's also nice. Be warned though, apart from the market one, cafes in central bath aint cheap!

Crispy said:Aw shit, not the Hat?
Many memories there too.
I seem to remember having a drink with Hawkwind there a few times. However it could just have been old men making up stories.
I did a terrible gig in the hat once, it was just feedback. Actually it was probably amazing.
