  1. Does anyone remember a slightly wild comedian who I seem to remember came from Cawthorne nr Barnsley? Sure he died either very late 70s or eatly 80s. Name might have been Ronnie something?
  2. Course not! Got a bottle in from Morrison's at Halfway 4 months ago! Thought i'd achieved a bit of Yorkshire Cred!
  3. I haven't posted on here for over 7 years. Ex-Eckington, now live in the Scottish highlands. Was in Fort William Home Bargains today. Henderson's Relish on the shelves? What happenned? Used to be only available in Sheffield and the Yorkshire Shop in Whitby!
  4. All they are telling you is that they will be able to find a copy of your receipt on their system, and that they'll do it when you take it in for an exchange. What's the problem with that? They look at the dozens they'll have logged for that item, and find yours by asking questions like "what day of the week might you have bought it", "was it card or cash" etc. If you've lost your receipt, then you can hardly jump on them for keeping you waiting a few minutes while they sort it for you. As for trust, that has nothing to do with it. They will need some date-of-purchase details in order to get credit from the manufacturer when they return it themselves.
  5. I've just read Ranulph Fiennes book "Cold". He describes frozen tears as the most painful thing he has ever experienced - and this from a man who sawed his own fingers off one by one with a hacksaw. If you are interested in living in extreme cold, it's a great read. Just beware - one anecdote he reveais is of a 70s polar expedition where a team member scratched an eyeball with a rock splinter. It became infected, so his colleagues had to remove his eyeball inside a tent, using a penknife - whilst receiving directions from an eye-surgeon via-radio from Sweden. Ouch!
  6. An ex-work colleague of mine did a lengthy prison sentence for causing death by dangerous driving after crashing into a stationary vehicle on the M62, back in the days when it wasn't illegal to use a phone whilst driving. Quite simply, had he not been on his phone, the accident wouldn't have happened.
  7. Has everyone forgotten our own Clause 28 outcry, a law which banned councils from promoting or supporting homosexuality, passed in 1988 and only repealed under Tony Blair's government in 2000 as part of Labour's election manifesto. Please don't pretend the Russians are miles away from our own record in this issue. Some southern US states would outlaw homosexuality altogether if they could.
  8. The original union for electrical engineers, the AEEU, became part of Amicus, who in turn became part of Unite, so it's Unite you need. Just beware, make sure your allocated Unite rep wants to look after your interests, not just batter the bosses. Unite has a lot of the latter, and these are a total waste of space. You need a Unite rep who takes the trouble to learn the employment laws and rules (and most important your own company's policy and procedures). I've dealt with both kinds (from the other side of the table). A rep who can pull out actual legislation to back up your case will make any company think twice about the probable outcome of a tribunal, and the costs they may incur. That's what's important, not banging a fist on the table.
  9. go to itvplayer homepage and type it in the search box, just worked for me...
  10. I can't stand people who middle lane hog, trundle along with nothing in front ofn them on the left. But the motorways are getting busier, and most are three lanes moving at similar speeds in rush hour. Now, on the M25 in it's busiest sections, they have put up signs asking motorists to "maintain constant speed, stay in lane" or something like that. Isn't that the opposite of what today's announcement is demanding?
  11. There are currently very strong links between the BNP and a certain loyalist paramilitary group. When the former UVF brigade commander Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair was forced to leave Northern Ireland by his own organisation, he ran straight to his friends in Combat 18 in Bolton. The BNP are intent on destroying the peace process.
  12. May I just point out. To name and shame individuals working for the company involved is unfair and uncalled for. They are following policies and guidelines set down by their employers, and could land themselves in trouble by not following them. Thankyou to the employee from KNOWHOW or taking the time to give the company's side of the argument. I'm sure your employer didn't tell you to do it, so the argument that the company is practising a public relations exercise is absolutely ridiculous. Please be aware, for a company to accept a product from a customer, they need to be sure that the supplier is going to give them credit for the return. If the supplier has already said it is not under warranty due to damage, this obviously wont happen.
  13. JJB started going downhill when they had to stop price-fixing replica football shirts. Umbro and themselves were both heavily fined a few years ago. £45 football shirts made in China for £3 were their lifeblood.
  14. I was similar to you at that age. Then I got my first job, and realised pretty soon that work is where most friends are made. The first bloke I spoke to on my first day at work was my Best Man 15 years later. Don't worry about it, seriously. It'll change.
  15. "£400K for some kid called Diego Maradona? Do you think i'm off my rocker, pal..." click, burrrrr.............
