If you really need another 300 boxes me thinks you NEED TO DECLUTTER

Says she who thinks there may still be a box somewhere from her move 11 yrs ago Though now I think about it I maybe tackled that last yr
We are never moving again though so it doesn't matter

funny innit, everyone seems to focus on him, i've had intelligent people debating how to transport a goldfish for hours. to me thats only a minor problem, i'm sure its been done before.

still nothing in boxes

Visions of you balancing a goldfish bowl with a very cramped Nemo in it on your lap as you head down the M4 were one of the first things I thought of

Reminder that you can always bring some stuff down on Friday and leave it here if you want.

we are reaosnably clear of clutter, everything is IMPORTANT AND MUST BE KEPT

300 was a joke, but there is a lot of crap, loads of books (about 5 more boxes). hundreds of dvd's/cd's/media, kitchen stuff etc.

its gonna take a while.

we're going to see a house up the gloucester road on saturday morning. i already know i dont want to live there but we'll go look just in case.

 

[JTG]

How far up?

 

[wiskey]

@ cranbrook rd, but its in a block and its on a main road, so i dont hold out much hope. its also expensive and 1 bed.

 

[JTG]

Ah that's alright, not too far for you to go

Hope it's the near end of Cranbrook though, the other end's in bloody Henleaze

 

[wiskey]

RIGHT on the junction with GR which bothers me cos him over there has refused to live on any more main roads. and it a bit spensive

 

[JTG]

Hmm, yeah, it won't be quiet round there, it's the Glos Road/Chelt Road/Zetland Road junction so always quite busy. It's Cotham which means bedsit land.

I reckon you wanna get yourself lost a little away from there in Montpellier/St Werburghs or St Andrews. Still close to the main route but far enough away to be fairly quiet.

 

[wiskey]

actually i'm seriously considering between m32 and river. to me ease of access to temple meads is paramount. more so than ease of access to twon or you and theres more houses there.

derv wants to know about the stapleton area.

 

[kalidarkone]

there is a little train that runs from temple meads to Easton, Montpelier , Cotham and Clifton, really cheap and really fast!!!

Check Eastville and Easton out if you are checking out Stapleton, you might as well its cheap and cheerful and easy access to the station.

 

[JTG]

Stapleton's a bit far innit? It's one of those twee little village areas that got swallowed by Bristol so there's country lanes and shit. I know nothing other than that it's bloody miles away.

I agree with kali, look at Easton (by which I mean Easton and all the various bits everyone calls Easton like Whitehall and so on). Remember that if you're near a station like Montpellier, Stapleton Road etc you should have pretty easy access to both TM and Parkway (though Parkway is a fucker to get stuck at if you arrive back and there's no local trains for ages).

I grit my teeth at this p) but TM is only just next to the river so south of there could be an option - Totterdown, Windmill Hill or Bemmy. Then there's the bits north and east of TM like Lawrence Hill, Barton Hill, they're not far from the station. Though can be a bit rough around the edges (don't know much about those bits).

Or if you can get it, live in the Dings. Not only is it a great name it would also mean I can come round for tea and spliffs after work or on my lunch break

stapleton ROAD

sory i didnt know there was somewhere called stapleton too.

 

[JTG]

Ah, I did wonder. Stapleton ROad is the road that goes towards Stapleton. In the same way that Gloucester Road goes towards Gloucester and the Bath and Wells Roads go towards... well guess. Cunning hey.

Stapleton Road is infamous but actually not as bad as made out (they never are are they). The top end is Eastville (where the Black Swan is), the rest is Easton. So see previous comments re Easton - it's alright it is and no harder to reach town/Temple Meads than the Gloucester Road area.

Come have a look on Saturday if you can

found out today that we now have a house in bedminster sorted

thats one more thing to tick off

still working on the rest

 

[geminisnake]

Is Bedminster an area of Brizzle??

 

[wiskey]

yes, just south of the river its got its own sense of community and a high street with most things you'd need. so you dont have to brave the building site that is the middle if you dont want too. its great for busses (in as much as bristol has great busses) and its not too far from the station.

nice little 2 bedroom house with a small garden for nemo to run around.

 

[JTG]

Is Bedminster an area of Brizzle??

No, it's a sort of leper colony we have for people who support crap football teams and can't speak proper Bris.

We occasionally consider the inhabitants for entry into the real city but only if they promise to wash.

Congratulations on your prospective new home
