In Bristol This Weekend...

[Intastella]

Just got wankered really We were gonna go to that multirig, but the car broke down while we were there, so went to a friend of a friends birthday session at the Bell. Danced like a loon, fell over a bit, wobbled off round the town a bit, went back to the flat and put the world to rights for a day an a half Nothing wildly exciting, but got to know some really good people really well, and that's always the best thing in my book

Ooh, and my friend's flat was backing right onto the river, which was lovely.

I want a boat now as well, but i think i may have to wait a while for that!

Alas childcare kept me from going to the bday party at the bell. They're always well fun back there

Glad you enjoyed it FWIW Stella

I know I'm outnumbered on this forum, but I still prefer Bath to Bristol. Lived in both, albeit Bristol more briefly, and for a big city dweller like me Bath just seemed preferable. Perhaps it's because you feel that you're a big fish in a small pond, able to walk across pretty much the whole place without inconvenience. it's got charm in spades.

I like Bristol, but it's awkward in scale for me -it's not large enough to offer the range and depth of attractions and entertainments you're used to as a Londoner. And it's not small enough to feel quaint and otherworldly, as Bath does to me. To be brutal, there's something about the scale of Bristol that reminds me of Croydon and surrounds.

I grew up in Croydon and now live in Bristol.

Though I'm back in Croydon quite a lot laely, under less than ideal circumstances.

Anyway, I just wanted to post something now I've an internet connection sorted.

Bath is shit.

Bath is shit.

Bath is the shit.

The problem with Bristol is the dismissive people. Small towners with ideas above their station.


Anyway, they're both lovely enough and Stella enjoyed herself.

I'd still rather live in Bath tbh, albeit with a pied a terre in London for proper big city action.
