Back in my day in Moonraker County, a dairy farming bride riding her cow to her wedding was commonplace & certainly wouldn’t have made the TV news, but anyway, welcome to the West Country, where Points West’s Andy Bennett gets what he deserves for such a daft question
At Showcase yesterday & the displays are already out for this. It looks great & feels VERY South Bristol/North Somerset…
Great question from my daughter just now: If you were one of the 3 people in the world whose knowledge of The Beatles survived the weird blackout in the 2019 film Yesterday, how long would it take you to realise they never existed?
Yes indeed. The quote is from the leaders of the four councils. Earlier on in the article, which you must have missed, North Somerset joining at the start of next year is explained.
This will never not be joyful. Thank you The Proclaimers for giving the world this wonderful thing.
It’s still July, still a heatwave, we’re in a drought, Europe’s on fire, the football season hasn’t started….. So get up Imperial then, go to The Range, it’s time to get the Hallowe’en stuff in my bab!
There are occasional oases of colour. This field bindweed is having a, um, field day…
Documenting the Great Drought of 2026… This is the colour of the West Country right now. That dusty light brown that comes out more yellow in photos.
Bristol City Panthers adopting a very fluid 4-2-7-4 formation in Baldwin Street as what could be the biggest ever #BristolPride march/parade continues.
Calling all snails of South Bristol. Tonight’s after-storm party is on right now in Stanley Terrace, Bedminster
The tree is still alive. You’d pay some landscape gardener thousands & it’d take years to create this lovely scene on Bemmie Down, but a spring storm did it for free.
Calling all snails of South Bristol! Post thunderstorm snail party right now in Harptree Grove, Bedminster.
Nicely lined up - 4 bloooooooons heading over Knowle & Brislington towards Oldland Common/Keynsham way right now #Bristol
Shout out to BBC Points West, who just broadcast a montage of scenes of the royal wedding at Kemble this weekend, & accompanied it with the piano instrumental version of Suddenly by Angry Anderson, the theme tune of Scott & Charlene’s wedding in Neighbours. 😂
As scam attempts go, this one makes no logical sense. Why are you in a phone repair shop if your phone is completely broken and you’ve now got a new phone and if you’ve got a new phone why are using the shop man’s phone? Must try harder…
This parking area is full & will be all day, & there are large parts of the city with empty parking areas. We need to talk about actually how useful this whole thing is.
Utter rubbish. No narrative, no distortion here - just reporting accurately what CJ Hole said about the impact of the Brislington Meadows development in the area. CJ Hole told locals the building of 260 new homes will increase the price of their homes. That's it. www.cjhole.co.uk/guides/brisl...
So Sunday’s @osibpodmag.bsky.social One Stream In Bristol fans podcast after Bristol City’s home defeat on Saturday took a VERY unexpected turn late on. (it’s the others cracking up that make this… sound up…!)
A metaphor for Bristol: On the world’s 1st modern road, ageing infrastructure has been smashed by a local idiot & now looks humorously chilled. The light still shines defiantly, but is broken - it’s on in daytime . The cone recognises the need to fix it, & also that no one has
Residents who oppose the plan for the ‘South Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood’ are on the march from Ashton Gate, Southville & Bedminster to City Hall for this evening’s council meeting. Campaign organiser Liz Newton explains why… Read more👇🏼 www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...
The name of this council tower block in Bedminster, South Bristol? Gaywood House, of course.

Etymology fun fact thread: the word ‘caper’ as in bit of an adventure or ‘that film’s a fun crime caper’ is linked to the star sign Capricorn and the word ‘capricious’. Why? Goats 1/4
This is the moment 75-year-old environmentalist Sir Jonathon Porritt is arrested by police on College Green in Bristol, for holding a sign saying 'I oppose genocide I support Palestine Action' as part of a @defendourjuries.bsky.social protest Latest updates: www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...
