Sunday Cycle Ride
A few weeks a ago I bought a bike, but I haven’t been able to really go out on it.
I think I need to explain that I haven’t really been cycling since I learnt to drive, which is a few years ago. I wasn’t sure if I could still ride a bike, so I [...]
Car Park Attendant
TRUE STORY:
Outside Bristol Zoo there is a car park for 150 cars and 8 coaches.
There also used to be a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging cars £1 and coaches £5.
This parking attendant worked there for all of 25 years , then one day just didn’t turn up for work…
“Ho hum”, said Bristol [...]
Friday Food: Top Table
Top table is an online booking and review service for restaurants, although primarily in London is does also cover quite a lot of restaurants in Bristol (and other major cities).
It allows you to search restaurants by cuisine and price. It also allows you to only search special offers. A great idea if you aren’t [...]
Wilderness Lecture
A couple of weeks ago I went to one of the wilderness lectures. After a complete nightmare parking and finding the chemistry department at Bristol University, we sat down to what we thought was going to be a lecture by Ben Saunders and his expedition to the South Pole, however he hasn’t made the [...]
FRIDAY FOOD: The Clifton Sausage
Last week we went to The Clifton Sausage for a birthday celebration. It is situated in the heart of Clifton Village and furnished with pine tables, candles and warm yellow and sky blue walls, and as its name suggests serves sausages. It also servers other British classics, such as Toad in the hole and ham [...]
Will Bristol get a second premiership team?
Bristol already has one premiership team, Bristol Rugby.
On Saturday, Bristol City are off to Wembley to play Hull in the final of the play-offs for promotion to the football premiership.
Bristol City were only promoted last year, can they make promotion two years in a row?
I don’t really follow football, but I would like to see [...]
FRIDAY FOOD: Indian
A couple of months ago we went to an Indian restaurant with a bit of a difference. Ganesha claim to serve authentic southern Indian food rather than the standard Anglo-Indian food that you find in most Indian restaurants. I haven’t been to India so I can tell if it is true or not, [...]
RESTAURANT REVIEW: Carpe Diem
A couple of weeks ago Brad and I went to the Carpe Diem restaurant.
Carpe Diem is a green and ethical restaurant, they use green energy, recycle as much as possible and their ingredients are fair-trade, organic and 50% are sourced within 50 miles of the restaurant. Even the furniture is made with wood from [...]
Saturday Night in Bristol
I have been a bit lax in posting on this blog (well apart from the Monday joke).
It has also been said that we don’t going into Bristol enough for a night out and if we do it always seems to be to the same places.
Therefore I thought it would be a step in the right [...]
Bristol v Northampton
Yesterday was the long awaited match between Bristol & Northampton.
Some of you may remember that the match was due to be played back in January but it was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch. At the time I think Bryan was quite glad it was postponed as he was suffering with a bit of [...]
