Title: OT moving to UK Post by: TiDi on December 05, 2006, 11:16:17 am Ok guys I'm nearly sure that next year I'm moving to UK...
After the bug in... So... anyone from Bristol? I need a box whit a flat :-) and maybe a work (I'm a software architect)..... thanx a lot Matteo Title: Re: OT moving to UK Post by: simon uk on December 05, 2006, 12:08:47 pm Hi Matteo, thats my home City! I am sure you will enjoy it when you come over.
Prices are quite expensive for the nice areas, if you can afford it, you need a place in clifton, redland or henleaze. I cant really suggest anything with work but there are a lot of offices around, so you should find something easily. Oh, and you need to go and watch Bristol City fc! Good luck, Si. Title: Re: OT moving to UK Post by: jick on December 05, 2006, 20:38:36 pm Bristol's a nice place, i grew up nearby and went to university there,( and used to go to watch Bristol City most saturdays Simon ;D)
there's a lot going on at nights.....and yeah....head for Clifton, nice area and the hottest girls in town! Title: Re: OT moving to UK Post by: spennyp on December 06, 2006, 00:01:59 am Jicks right....as I still live in the town that Jick used to frequent I can vouch for Bristol being a cool place to be and there are a few cal lookers in and around the area too
Title: Re: OT moving to UK Post by: spennyp on December 06, 2006, 00:02:59 am steer clear of Hartcliffe, Knowle etc etc etc.....in fact head for either Clifton,Redland,Cotham
Title: Re: OT moving to UK Post by: simon uk on December 06, 2006, 11:10:04 am there is a place called speedwell though which makes it cool. I wouldnt wanna live there though!
Title: Re: OT moving to UK Post by: TiDi on December 06, 2006, 11:33:54 am Thanx a lot guys
I see that the most voted is Clifton :-) I will come to London/Bristol for a little trip at the end of January. I will go to see Clifton for shure :-) Can you suggest me a nice hotel/hostel? Thanks A Lot Matteo Title: Re: OT moving to UK Post by: simon uk on December 06, 2006, 12:37:42 pm probably the best hotels in the city are the grand hotel in broad street, and the marriott royal in park steet.
If these are too much money, there is a new holiday inn crown plaza near temple meads train station and a marriott hotel in broadmead which will be ok. type in "clifton suspension bridge" into google - one side of that is in clifton, funnily enough! Title: Re: OT moving to UK Post by: gingabloke on December 07, 2006, 14:50:31 pm Here's a nice little place for sale just outside Portishead, just outside Bristol! ;)
(http://images.primelocation.com/DAJAGR/images/DAJH999000102.JPG) (http://www.primelocation.com/estate-agents/details/id/dajh999000102/) Nice big rooms with high ceilings, awesome place for parties! And several decent sized barns outside for workshop/storage. More than one steam engine's been restored in these! A few fields and some woodland if you've any Baja tendencies... Driveway's not recommended for v. low cars though... Title: Re: OT moving to UK Post by: Lids on December 07, 2006, 16:11:03 pm I like bristol, having lived in the same small town as Jick and spence, strangely I watched City at the weekends as well. In fact i saw the last game of the season against southend last year, "feed the goat."
I like southmead ;) b ut might move to westbury on trym Title: Re: OT moving to UK Post by: simon uk on December 07, 2006, 16:50:41 pm Ah the mead, I drive through there a couple of times a week, definately locking wheel nut territory. I suppose they have little idea about genuine old wheels though, unless they are for an escort and are being flogged for £30 a set with legal tires. I live in Bradley Stoke, so dragging a 40 year old vw out to the front of the house and hanging around underneath it whilst leaving oil deposits most definately is not socially acceptable.
Westbury on trym is much more pleasant though Mike. Very commendable watching the reds though, I liked the goat when he was here. |
