1 a ferry ride around bristol docks
2 a home made picnic on Brandon hill
3 a walk alongside the river Frome from fishponds to oldbury court
4 a walk around bristol harbourside from bristol castle to pump house hotwells
5 go to the Arnolfini to search for anything that resemmbles art.”

“'Bristol's Biggest Bloody Bike Ride'? 'Bristol's Biggest Council-Sponsored Gridlock Since the Ten-K Race', you mean.
I do hope the ambulance that was marooned, with blue lights and sirens going, and could go nowhere due to the ineptitude of the council authorising this fiasco, including no outbound traffic on Hotwells Road, (why the Hell couldn't the bloody runners have run a longside the docks?), so you couldn't evevn turn around and go home, wasn't going to anything serious.......”
