Does anyone know of any local shops where you can try office chairs before buying? I have a friend who is really struggling with tailbone pain so I’m looking for a chair for her, but she will need to physically sit on them to see if they help.

A change in jobs means moving down south from the north. I’m considering lydney or hunts grove with frequent commute to either Bristol or Cardiff office (dependant on location) as seen on the map.
Would you recommend any of these areas for a family? Ideally I don’t want city centre living, just a quiet place with easy commute - we both drive. Thank you

Would really appreciate people signing this petition to try and ensure Forest High School in Cinderford gets the investment it needs to make sure it's safe and keeps its doors open to its students. The building is in a really poor state and despite excellent teaching, really needs the help.

Took my dog into the river wye yesterday to cool off. She’s really poorly today and can’t work out if she ate something or potential that she’s ill from drinking in the river. We went in here, near Lydbrook.
Is there any way I can find out if there was a pollution event? Nothing on surfers for sewage.
Thanks for any advice!
Have been to the vets and they say to monitor her for now!

The video shows the suspension bridge and memorial park that pay tributes to the UK soldiers during the Korean War.

In Paju that is situated in the northwest, about an hour away from Seoul, there are Gloucester Heroes Bridge and Gloster Hills Memorial Park. They were built to pay tributes to 600 British soliders of The Gloucestershire Regiment who fought against 30,000 Chinese in Paju during the Korean War.

You also can see the Lieutenant Colonel James Carne's Stone Cross. He was placed in solitary confinement for 19 months for refusing Chinese communist brainwashing. To survive the brutal isolation, he spent months carving a small cross out of a rough stone using only a single nail. The original cross is in Gloucester Cathedral.

Seven races in total, the main headline from the first men’s downhill race was German YouTuber Tom Kopke earning a hat-trick of wins, three years in a row he has now won cheese rolling

On Saturday, 23rd May 2026, we held our Spring LAN 2026 event, and what a day it was!

Once again, we completely filled our venue. We battled our way through the fast-paced action of TimeSplitters Rewind, caused complete chaos in Super Mario 64 Co-Op Deluxe with Arena, Flooded, and Hide & Seek, and wrapped up the day with an incredible Xonotic showdown that made for the perfect main event.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this another amazing LAN. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces return, while also welcoming plenty of new faces into the community 💚

With plenty of pizza on hand and the sun shining throughout a beautiful bank holiday weekend, it was the perfect setting for a day of gaming with friends, both old and new. If you’d like to join us at a future event and become part of the community, hop into our Discord and say hello!

And now, the road to Summer LAN 2026 begins! ☀️🎮

Am an intermittent visitor to Gloucestershire. Last year, I took the time to go to Cooper’s Hill to see what all the fuss was about. And, basically, noped right out of it. It looks terrifying. But the prize is a whole wheel of cheese.

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to the Gloucester/Gloucestershire area and was wondering if there are any groups, communities, or meetups for women locally — especially women of colour / South Asian women, and ideally late 20s and in 30s.

Open to anything really: coffee meetups, wellbeing groups, workshops, walks, book clubs, WhatsApp groups, or online evening/weekend groups.

Would love to meet more women around the area and build some community/friendships.

Thank you :)

Hi all!

Im planning on moving to Tetbury as I need to be closer to Bristol for uni (UWE Bristol, so want to live closer to the M4). Im from Reading currently and I like it as im close to London and have all the main trending shops and food places in town. I know Tetbury is more of a village, but I like that! I just wanted peoples thoughts of living there and if they like it. I have a dog and like walking him and biking but also like to go out and socialise over a drink. Im a little scared there's not many shops nearby like Zara, Wagamama LOL. I do drive though so not too bad.

Has anyone received a ticket after walking offsite from the Peel Centre car park? I only noticed the signs on the way back in after using the car park for Hobbycraft then just walking across the road to get a coffee.
