  1. This is typical of the council - accepting second best. This is why it is supposed to be the City of Sport, yet all the sporting events go to Manchester. It has an airport whose website says "Please note:There are no scheduled flights operating from this airport." A road system comparable to the Eastern Bloc. A world famous furniture shop that's turned away because a well-past it department store doesn't like it. A redeveloped canal waterfront which provides nothing but nice scenery from the windows of solicitors and other business.
  2. Mine was Darkstar. Was on around 84-85 and then again in 1990-1995. Had (and still got!) a Rotel 240, mag mount and Moddy 1 on the car. Car battery, charger and GP-27 on the house. They were the forums of the day!
  3. Yep, a search for "Atomic Kitten Lyrics" did the trick! I'm someone who thinks musical perfection was reached in 1986-87!
  4. Atomic Kitten are just dire. They cannot sing, cannot play any instruments and cannot write songs - which is why they covered as many songs as they did. But, the worst song must be "you and I". Check out these 'lyrics': You and I You and I Two of a kind Two of a kind A meeting of minds The time of our lives The perfect night Our sight As I look in your eyes Never felt so right <CHORUS STOLEN FROM ELO> I really want tonight to last forever I really want to be with you I really want tonight to last forever I really want to be with you Night and day Come what may There's always change Nothing stays the same Who can say? What will come our way Leave it all to fate Let tomorrow wait I really want tonight to last forever I really want to be with you I really want tonight to last forever I really want to be with you Tonight, yeah Tonight yeah I really want tonight to last forever I really want to be with you Let the music play on top of life tonight The perfect night Out of sight As I look in your eyes Never felt so right Ooh yeah
  5. The builder should have done this. If he is not working to building regulations he should be stopped. It's probably of no use to you (being in Manchester), but this company is outstanding. They take two to three weeks and everything is included in the price - including all the fire doors, and mains wired smoke alarms. The team works long hours and from my garden can see at least seven or eight of their conversions. Our area is full of them and everyone says how great they are. http://www.design-a-loft.co.uk Perhaps they can recommend a decent loft company in your area?
  6. I don't use them so can't really comment, but it is my understanding that the tram is a far superior form of transport over a bus - faster, cleaner and doesn't clog up the roads or get stuck in jams. And considering the ticket is cheaper than an equivalent bus one (ok, you are limited by the routes, but if you live on a tram route you're laughing), I think it's pretty good value.
  7. Because rule one of this forum states: No matter how innocent the initial post, it should ALWAYS turn into a BNP / race thread, or deteriorate into personal insults.
  8. It depends on the quality of your extension. Your best best is to try and eliminate if that's the cause of the problem by trying your computer directly into the wall phone socket.
  9. The best dentist I've ever known is Dr Limb, Balmoral Road, Woodhouse. I'm not sure about waiting lists, but if you are willing to pay he may be able to squeeze you in. I've seriously considered going back to him and taking the afternoon off work once every six months and driving over for a check up. I've tried a few around my area and never found one as good.
  10. Go to their website, click on INFORMATION then click on CITY GUIDE STUDENT MAP. A nice hand drawn map of the city centre. Shame it's UPSIDE DOWN and you can't turn it around! Also, according to their site, in the Sports Section: Maybe it's me, but I thought quite a lot of Britons entered and finished the London Marathon. Does that mean if you finish you automatically get picked for Team GB?
  11. According to the poll on the great sheffieldtoday website:
  12. I'm here to keep in touch with my home town. To catch up on local news and happenings. I would go to shefieldtoday.co.uk but it is a pile of bo***cks, a couple of crappy news stories and very little else in the way of content. At least on here I can ask a question about something and get an immediate answer. The only thing this forum needs is a couple of webcams, one focused on the city and one perhaps from Bishops House, or top of the Hallamshire, and it would be perfection!
  13. I just hope the people who handle emails are more competent than Peter 'Katie Blirdsnest' Russell.
  14. They are good, but quite expensive. If you want external storage it's much cheaper to buy your own hard drive and external USB2/ firewire case. I have a second hard drive in my PC and use Norton Ghost or Powerquest DriveImage to backup my system. That's probably the cheapest and most reliable way to go.
  15. Cyberpets have come on a long way.
  16. My GF makes them. I've sent you a PM. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=121&item=8112677853
  17. Whether or not the council or other city centre shops want the Ikea or not is beside the point. I know of a few people in Sheffield who have to make the trip down to Nottingham or Leeds to go, wasting petrol and time driving. My mum likes the place but doesn't have a car, so she can't get there without a lift from my sister. The council needs to remember the other side of the coin - if you're not bringing people in, you could be driving your own residents away because of the sheer lack of amenities.
  18. The modems are very poor quality, which is why they are free. It may be a good idea to get an internal ADSL modem, or a decent Netgear router. Do you have all your ADSL filters installed correctly? I've heard of a few cases similar to yours and it's been the filters not installed that's been the fault.
  19. Me too. Can someone post news if any letters are published?
  20. The first thing I'm going to do when I win the lottery is to spend a million or so on drugs. Then I'm going to lace it with rat poison and anything else I can think of and then offer it at a low low price to all the druggie scum. Voila, drug problem solved!
  21. I thought the storyline for Nemesis was extremely lame. Were we to just forget the last several years of Data and his BROTHER?
  22. Doors don't have to open outwards, they could slide open รก-la Star Trek.
