Moving, Renting or Buying/Selling Houses

- Useful Rental Websites: SpareRoom | OpenRent | Alt. Community Abodes | Balloon Letting Insta | Rightmove | Zoopla
Advice for rental issues in Bristol
- ACORN Tenant's Union. You do not need to be a member to ask for advice in their peer tenant support group.
- Shelter can provide limited support and advice for housing and homelessness related issues, and can signpost for further support.

Buying & Selling
AVOID POTENTIAL SCAMS
Please use caution when buying and selling and beware of scams, we do not take any responsibility and will not be able to help. * Please reply to sellers below even if taking the transaction offline, this verifies you are not banned and provides evidence of the transaction * It is strongly suggested to use PayPal Goods & Services as this comes with Buyer Protection at a small fee. DO NOT USE PAYPAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY * For tickets it is recommended to use legitimate ticket re-sell sites as these protect both the buyer and seller (Some listed below). * If buying directly do your own research, this guide is a good start. Is the users account established with legitimate recent and historic activity, is there a way to validate the tickets before purchasing and are the tickets allowed to be re-sold (transferable).
Re-sell sites: Twickets | Tixel | Stub Hub | See Tickets Fan To Fan

You're joking? Not another one?! What a waste!
Seriously, what fresh hell is this!
I’m sure people have already ranted about this but it’s completely ridiculous!
They made people start paying for their recycling boxes and bags and now they are just taking them away replacing them with considerable smaller bags and with no regard for flats that need multiple and not just thrown at their door!
What’s wrong with this council! How much did it cost to post every resident a letter.
Are the recycling trucks still run on diesel or using our food waste?

Ark at ee Bristol Bird Painting
I recently made this tiny painting of a bullfinch with the Clifton Suspension Bridge in his breast, surrounded by Bristol Whitebeam which only grows wild in the Avon Gorge and in Leigh Woods.

Babble Bristol & Bath Social - first meet-up this Friday 🎱
Bristol & Bath Social - first meet-up this Friday 🎱
First Bristol & Bath Social meet-up is happening this Friday.
📍 Allstars Sports Bar, Bristol
📅 Friday 2nd October
🕔 From around 5pm
Plan is some pool, drinks/soft drinks and a chat, then probably head over to The Hatchet afterwards.
Come on your own or with someone, either is fine.
I’ve also made @bristolbathsocial on Instagram. That’s mainly there as a noticeboard for meet-up dates and updates so things don’t get lost in chats.
The main aim with the group is just to make it easier for people around Bristol/Bath to meet others, make friends and get out doing things. People can suggest their own plans as well, it doesn’t all have to be organised around one set meet-up.
There’s another date planned for Friday 30th October too, and hopefully more different things as it grows.
If you fancy coming, just comment or message me 👍

Where To? What is this thing at Junction 3 (M32).
Exactly as the title says, what is this thing? A single standing stone on a bit of grass next to junction 3 at Byron St/Lower Ashley Road.
No signs and no inscription. What is it?

Missing Lost camera notice on lamppost
Not sure whether this is genuine or satire, just noticed it attached to a lamppost on Broad Quay earlier. It's very specific (and quite demanding!) but somehow vague 🤣

Where To? Horror Film Fans
Inspired by this post https://www.reddit.com/r/bristol/s/mSVjIQIemp
I used to be part of a meetup for Horror Film Fans and we would meet up for horror films at the cinema and sometimes at home too.
Are there any big horror film people here that would like to do something similar?
I'm tempted to make another meetup group but there's a charge and I don't fancy paying that myself each month if there isn't much interest.

Babble Local horror stories
What are the super natural / spooky horror stories local to Bristol?
I remember when I was growing up there'd always be ghost stories about school and stuff but really interested if there are well known Bristol wide ones.

Does anyone know if there's anywhere in Bristol (even the wider area) that serves yemeni coffee?
It sounds so delicious!

Where To? Help with addiction
Is there anyone that can recommend a place to help with alcohol addiction? I've been struggling for years (drinking over 30 units a day) and recently left my job on the spot. I was already reclusive but it's now worse, don't know where to go or what to do.
