cheers Molly, will check them out. Just tried Artisan and they have a limited set menu - 3 starters, 3 main, etc. - for parties of 8+. Need to be there at 6pm for Catch if it's a the same number party.... :-S

Help! can anyone suggest a restaurant that does menus ranging from good-excellent? Price isn't too much of an issue (£15-£45 a head seems reasonable to me) I'm looking for anything other than Indian, oriental and Italian. I don't know if there's anywhere that does contemporary british cuisine or just contemporary European. Was recommended 543 on Eclesall rd but found out it's closed down :-( cheers

a mate of mine is in charge of the renovation of the Cutty Sark and he's from Sheffield :-) He's also working on Britain's first 6* hotel

here in London I pay £3.50 for a day pass so it's a justifiable comparison: Drivers are worse here but buses are so much more regular and as well as that I can take night buses until 6am the following day (a night bus is usually as regular as a sheffield 'normal' bus)

I've been with +net for nearly a year and I have to admit I haven't experienced any problems whatsoever (touch wood!) Was with wanadoo before and they were dire, as were BT Openworld and Blueyonder prior to them.

haha :-D that made me lol

coolio, So I get the impression that I'm gonna have to fool around with Dreamweaver til I get the hang of it and then if I wanna make mine a jazzed-up kinda site it would be handy to know how to use Flash. But in the long run if I want to persist with the Web design malarky (for the time being I wanna do 4 sites, all with different purposes) I'm gonna have to invest some time and effort to get the hang of HTML. Correct me if I'm wrong in my summary Cheers for all the tips :-)

I'm leaning more towards the design aspect of the web so I reckon I'll give HTML and all the programming thing a miss for now. I'll try out some of the recommendations you've given and see how I fare with that....after which, I may have to borrow Flash MX Bible from a mate (didn't wanna go there with the enormity of the book, but if there ain't no other way....) ..thanks for the advice

dear all, I am trying to teach myself webdesign but really have no idea of where to start. I have Dreamweaver 7 and Flash MX and have attempted the tutorials but not really got anywhere with them. Could any kind people recommend a starting point or some useful online resource or anything else that may be handy (maybe a good manual)? I am relatively computer literate and have pretty good working knowledge of other software such as Photoshop. Cheers

As the title suggests, I was wonderin if anybody had any idea of what events are taking place over the Easter wknd?.....I know it's a month away but seeing as I'm traipsing up from the big smoke I just wanna make myself a decent itinerary - other than seeing the folks of course! Cheers.

any of these would do me: http://www.atspeedimages.com/limerock_2005/concours/1976_aston_martin_v8_vantage/1976_aston_martin_v8_vantage.jpg http://www.dearbornauto.com/sold/index-Pages/Image25.shtml http://www.dearbornauto.com/sold/index-Pages/Image26.shtml http://www.carsearch.com/739695.htm

It's funny that you should ask why people want to come here. Britain and Ireland have been the biggest exporter of their own citizens in the history of civlisation(in relation to population size). As well as exporting people, they also did a very good job of exporting their culture to all these foreign shores, particularly during the Victorian era when it became the 'latest' thing to spread the christian word to these 'heathens' and show them how to live as 'civilised' people. This 'Christian Commonwealth link' has always been one reason for people migrating to the UK. Britain, as a result of it's Empire, also became very wealthy by exploiting the countries in the Commonwealth (as well as some that are no longer, or never were, part of it), so some would argue that perhaps this sapping of 'our wealth' is in fact redistribution of stolen/owed money, or at the very least that the empire was built using other peoples sweat and blood. Another reason people come to this country is because of the history it has in upholding human rights (something that started with the anti-slavery movement which, funnily enough, went against Britain's initial complicity in it). Britain together with the USA were partly responsible for starting International Law when they signed the Trans-Atlantic Charter, which is why Amnesty International carries weight in this country (unfortunately America has severely undermined it's position over the last 50 years in this respect, especially now with it's campaign on Terrorism and the Internationally illegal war in Iraq, and Amnesty is considered a bit of a meddling nuisance over the pond). As for your Majority white statement...the National Socialist Party of Germany were once a majority but it didn't mean they were necessarily in the right (and before anyone picks up on this, I'm not comparing white Brits to Nazis). And do you really think that ALL white British folk are of Anglo-Celtic origin? And even if they were do you really think they would all agree with your opinion? And what about all the none-white British people, do they not have a right to be heard? You're probably right in your observation that there are too many illegal immigrants in this country but your arguments seem to stem from Fear or Bigotry, either way it's ignorance. :-(

s'pose it depends on your view of life? i'm sure there are plenty of women (I know a few) who really don't mind, and in fact find the whole subject quite funny... .after all, "are all they good guys gay"?!?.....

I'm a good guy and not gay....have been in a relationship for a while though, but would say I was good before that.. However, I do find that sometimes an innocent conversation with a woman will lead to them thinking that perhaps something may develop from it...or sometimes other women think that that is my motive.. Funny one, this platonic relationship thingy majig. It's quite interesting to analyse Women's relationships with gay men and who uses who...often gay men have a number of different 'types' of female friends, of which only a select few have the 'privilge' of being able to call themselves FagHags...
