A drink is too wet without a fag , a fag is too dry without a drink, according to our lass. I agree wholeheartedly.

How many people can live in a country where they choose to live? Reckon I'm one of a tiny minority as I moved to France due to a combination of an inheritance, 40 odd years of savings to a personal pension, and owning a house in Sheffield I can rent out.

In 2015, as part of an international deal with Iran called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Iran agreed to cut back on nuclear enrichment programs in exchange for the unfreezing of its own assets."

Well I suppose we can be thankful it wasn't a Trump bible - or was Truss signaling she needs another two goes to really finally sink the UK economy π

The Head seems to have a rather individual take on "secular"; https://www.newstatesman.com/comment/2024/04/michaela-school-ban-prayer-ruling-katharine-birbalsingh She is keen to stress that secularism is not the absence of all faith, but the search for a uniting value. βWe sing βGod Save the Kingβ because our country and our flag unites us,β she says. How is that different from a CofE school? /?

From what I can gather, it appears any school receiving state funding should provide a "daily act of worship" under the terms of the 1998 Education Act. https://humanists.uk/education/parents/collective-worship-and-school-assemblies-your-rights/ ββ¦each pupil in attendance at a community, foundation or voluntary school shall on each school day take part in an act of collective worship.β

What Really Takes You Back In Time (In A Good Way)
Longcol replied to Draggletail's topic in General Discussions
When I'm in Sheffield, a visit to the Red Deer on Pitt Street. Must be one of a handful of Sheffield pubs that have served consistently good hand pulled beer since the days before CAMRA. Nigh on 50 years ago to the first time I went there. Glad the toilets aren't still outside across the yard though. -
Old Polish club Ecclesall Rd.

Old Polish club Ecclesall Rd.
Longcol replied to pimpindonks's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Wasn't the club called "Dom Polska"? White letters on a purple background if memory serves. First flat I had in Sheffield in the mid 70's wasn't far away (Eastgrove Road) and my landlady was Polish (lived round the corner on Thompson Road) - back then a decent sized Polish community in the area. -
