hi, thanks to alexenvalencia for identifying clubs creation and lakota in bristol. I cant find a web site for creation, does anyone have one or other than that know what is on at either club on Sat July 8th? Thanks

i have a 7:15am flight out of bristol airport, of which checkin closes at 6:45. The only train i can get in the morning from cardiff is due to arrive at temple meads station at 5:37am. How far away is the airport from here? what is my best option to get there? i can see info for an internation flyer bus which leaves at 5:50 and arrives at 6:10, or if i miss that one then 6:10 to 6:30. how much would a taxi cost? would it be quicker?

Hi everyone !!

I would like to ask you for your help :-) I am traveling from Prague to Bristol in the end of May and would like to continue my journey to Plymouth. Please could you help me to find some suitable and cheap return transport from Bristol to Plymouth? My flight is reaching Bristol on 31.5. at 7:00 p.m.

Many thanks for your kind cooperation !!! Have a wonderful day !

With kind regards

hi,

Grew up in Bristol, only been back a few times, and am planning a reunion for a weekend in july. Although getting too old for it, we fancy a night out clubbing. Pubs we can just revisit old haunts, but clubbing has probalby changed beyond all recognition. I'd like something more dancy, but still quite big, along the lines of Fabric in london. Does such a place exist? Any going out tips appreciated. I saw 'the Depot' reviewed on "Doc Strange" VT sight. Any more info on it? Any tips welcome, seems funny asking VT about a UK place!

can you please tell me the best way to get to parkway station from the airport and if it is taxi approx cost-----thanks

please can someone suggest me a hotel in the centr of the city? i don't want to pay more than 75 euros per night. is there any?
thanx in advance!

I currentley live in London, but considering moving up to Bristol (quite soon, possibly). I would be looking to move into a shared house in one of the nicer areas, and hoping to get work asap. I'm temping at the moment but this is my last week, but can't afford to leave it too long as I don't want to spend any unnecessary amounts of money. Any agencies that you could recommend that I could get in touch with?

Thanks in advance

Hi, Has anyone stayed at this hotel? The webpage makes it sound very good- Booked in for a night in October (attending a meeting, with 5 colleagues, so We're all curious to hear any personal comments)
Best Wishes,

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH. I´M LEARNED!

I will stay in Bristol for a year, I will go in September, the next month, but I don´t have accomodation. I´ve seen pages about accomodation like www.accomodationstudents.com, and pages about hall of residence in Bristol, but I don´t know if there is a place avalaible for me, if I´am not english, and I´m not student. I find something cheaper for a year. I´m desperate!!

Hi there

I'm looking for an apartment to rent for two days in November, with a group of 5 friends. We're all professional girls looking to have a nice, fun, pampering weekend.

Ideally, we would like an apartment to sleep 4-6 of us, as we can also bring along some airbeds if necessary. Where should I look? Days Inn has no availability for the weekend in question.

Thanks in advance!

I'm visiting Bristol next week with a few friends and would really like recomendations for a night out. It will be a Thursday night and I know the students aren't back but preferably we would like somewhere young and with a dance floor. Any suggestions?

What's the cheapest way to get from Stansted Airport to Bristol?

I've just have a look on the homepage of nationalexpress.
But 40 GBP/person seems to be expensive in the opposite of hireing a car.
Do anyone have some experience?

I want to have a break in Bristol for a year or so and buy a 2 bed room house/flat. Want peaceful, YOB free, decent area near city centre. Please advise.

Can you suggest any cheap areas where in I can live in a flat or a house with my husband.

A couple of questions please.
How can I get to the quay area from the railway station. I did hear that there was a sort of boat going from opposite the railway station. can someone throw some light on that please.

Does anyone know where the Travel Lodge is situated in Bristol.

What is the best and cheapest way to get to the airport from Temple Meads station.

Many thanks, Peter

We would like to visit the Balloon Festival at Ashton Court Estate in August this year and would like to know of any hotels/B&B's within walking distance as we don't want to take the car if possible. Anyone know of any???

thanks in advance

Hi - i am a young 30yr old designer just moved to Bristol from London and have only just realised that Bristol has NO clothes shops for me??????
Can someone please explain where they are????????
Do NOT say Park St because i've been and they aren't there (apart from the one Motel??dna???at the bottom which is quite nice)
I grew up in Bristol and 10 years ago i would go to london to do my shopping please tell me somethings changed??
Any shops planning on coming here???????????
Clifton sells stuff for the over 45's, broadmead for the chavs?(sorry i do love a chav but i don't do that look well) so where does a reasonably stylish 30 yr old go?????????

Hi,

I'm staying at Thornbury castle next week, and on the Friday night we were hoping to go out of the castle for dinner. It's difficult to find somewhere local so thought we'd broaden the horizons a bit. Can anyone recommend a mid price restaurant within 15 mins drive of Thornbury? Chain restaurants are fine such as Prezzo and the modern Italians, or any other modern restaurant, but not over run with students is great too.

I looked at Brown but noticed it's near University Road, does this mean it's full of students? No offence, but I was one once, and I know what you're like!

Any ideas/weblinks?

Hi,

I'm coming down with 3 lads to Bristol next Friday (11th) and want to get a game of golf in before hitting the bars - can anyone recommend a good golf course?

We're staying at the Premier Lodge and meeting up with some other friends on Saturday for a buddy's stag day/night - any suggestions for entertainment during the day and good places to go at night.

Not too sure about flat out Nightclubs cos we're all a bit long in the tooth now - in our early thirties!!!

Cheers

Jason

Hey all

ive just signed up today after stumbling across VT on google..

anyway it seems like a wicked site, so many people from whatever area i look under.

i currently live in the west midlands (coventry) but want to meet more friendly people, and enjoy a more laid back way of living to how it is here

ive heard several people say how different people down south are; 'friendly' 'chatty' etc

probably starting to sound quite naive now but what the heck..

is this true then? i want to visit some of the biggish towns down south like Bristol, Brighton and Plymouth

cheers

Chris

I am moving back to Bristol soon and would love to know of any sexy restaurants serving great food - with vegetarian options.
I don't like chain restaurants and do not want to venture into the centre!!!!!

Also - does Bristol do Gastro pubs????? Any cosy local restaurants that serve great food and let the kids in??? I only know the Cadbury which is nice but abit grubby... Any ideas???????

Abit concerned cause I am leaving London where there is a fab choice of everything.

Thanks

Hello all Vts'
I have been trying to get someone @ Dollar Academy to help and so far no luck.
I am doing a family research and hence found two or more of my Great Uncles and possibly Grandfather
had attended this Academy.

Of course this was all before WW2 possibly in the early 30's?
Does anyone has any idea or know someone there to help?

I am in Canada. Thank you all!

Davey

Hello

Can anyone recommend a hotel near to the Ashton Gate area of Bristol?

Many thanks

i'll be in bristol from june 04 - 11 on business, if anyone is planning on visiting around the same time, drop me a line

I'm going to visit a friend and we were wondering which of these two places was the best as regarding both things to do during the day and nightlife.

Any opinions?

Dave

Hi all!

We're planning to move to the UK sometime this year. I've been told that most flats in the UK come furnished -- right down to linen and pictures on the wall!

Is this true?

In NZ flats are almost always unfurnished and I prefer this -- I'd rather use my own stuff than the landlord's rejected stuff!

Are unfurnished flats easily found? Are they cheaper than the furnished flats?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I need to get from Bristol International Airport to a town called Chippenham next Tuesday night. I arrive into the airport at 11.00pm so my options are fairly limited. Does anyone know how much a taxi to Chippenham would cost It's about 30miles of a journey? Or if anyone knows any alternatives it would be a great help
thanks,
Bernard
