Tell them
You are going to come to Bristol to get drunk with a bunch of strangers. If that doesn't work, start talking about forest, you'll be off the call in 5 mins.

I'm coming to Bristol to get drunk with strangers!
And I'm very much looking forward to it.

The only thing annoying me
Today, is you calling me 'Boyband' aside from that, I'm in the pub reviewing a presentation.

Forest used to be my get-out clause
Now we're all too depressed to talk about them. My Dad and sister are season ticket holders. How they've not topped themselves is beyond me.

If I told them about Bristol, they wouldn't be surprised; but I would a lecture about being careful. Which actually might be preferable to the protracted silences.
