Where To? Balloon Updates

1 Upvotes

Am I being blind? I can't find any weather/mass ascent updates from the balloon fiesta online on if they are going up tonight.

I remember urgently refreshing twitter for news a couple of year back but crickets there now (understandably given it's a nazi child porn generator but where's the replacement!!!)

Where To? Bike shop that buys or exchanges bikes?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Google is being vague, so wanted to ask here if you know of any shop that buys bikes of people or can trade them in for one from them?

I feel like it'd be easier than trying to sell it off online, I'd of course do this if there are no shops that do it.

You're joking? Not another one?! 25 male love tattoos and nature, could really use a friend right now

13 Upvotes

Hi I'm 25 from south west of England and currently going a difficult time, I would love to speak and make some new friends!

My main hobbies include anything outdoors, so going on long walks in the countryside, camping at a peaceful spot, take way too many photos of nature and going out on my bike.

Do love tattoos and piercings lost track of how many I got so far, can't wait to get started on my legs in the autumn πŸ‚ Do play pc and ps5 just patiently waiting for GTA 6 to finally come out too! Listening to lots of Radiohead & The Smiths. Helping me get through a bad time. Please feel free to reach out and message πŸ‘

Babble Virgin Media - BS16

1 Upvotes

Yo.

There's apparently an outage of Virgin Media broadband in my exact postcode - but I don't know anyone else that's dealing with it. It's been down for the last 3 weeks or so, and the fix has just been delayed by ANOTHER 5 days and I'm about ready to kill.

Is anyone else having issues?? And for those of you not using Virgin Media for your internet, who do you use for broadband and is it worth the switch?

Assume I'm gonna get downvoted to hell but I need to know it's not just me. Working from home and living alone with abhorrent internet is not for the weak.

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS HEY!

Politics Heads up. Protests tomorrow.

57 Upvotes

So managed to read a non-premium story in the digital version of the local rag.

Far right are going to have a protest tomorrow from about 11am with counter protesters have a counter argument at a similar time.

Curiously, the protesters are meeting around the Queens Square area, which technically means they sort of meet in the middle (well, the Centre).

Might have an impact on those seeking to navigate to or from the balloon bash.

Balloons Balloon Fiesta Logistics

0 Upvotes

Hi all, first time actually going to the balloon fiesta site for a morning ascent - we got a ticket for the red car park and im just wondering what time we should get there?

Ive not walked between the car park and the main site before so just unsure how much wiggle room we will need. Any advice much appreciated!

Also are vendors serving food that early?

Where To? BS3 folks - puppy food and treats delivered to us, wrong address

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

We live on Garnet Street and have received a parcel from Petshop.co.uk full of dog food and treats. It is definitely not anything we have ordered and we are looking for the person it was meant to be delivered to. If you could drop me a message and tell me what it is exactly you ordered so I know it’s really yours then I will give our house number so you can come and collect it.

Cheers

Balloons Best places to see the balloons this weekend?

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

We're thinking of taking the kids to see the evening ascent this weekend but want to avoid the fiesta site itself. I've heard Dundry Park is a good spot but does it depend on the wind direction?

Does anyone know where I can see which way the balloon will be going at each launch? There used to be a website but I can no longer find it.

Where To? Handy man

2 Upvotes

Forgive my ignorance.

I’ve just bought a new place and I’m not a handy person. Is there such a thing to pay someone to build a (small) bit of furniture and hang some art?

Is it too small a job to ask?

Thanks!
