Howdy player!

What a beautiful day - the river of water running down stokescroft, getting splashed by cars and turbo island's most recent burnt sofa's dying embers hissing in the rain...

And people say Cornwall's a nice place to live, eh? They just don't appreciate concrete and building works.

Now, on to some important news.

You need to go on a date this week. Why? Because it's cold and dark and miserable and you need to get out the house to stop feeling melancholy.

The good news is there's more events on than there is food at Za Za Bazaar.

Here's what's worth braving the rain for in Bristol this week:
