No Matter How Much I Shake It, It Still Dribbles.
Allen replied to The_DADDY's topic in General Discussions
I get the same funny looks from the missis. Whatās the problem with my shaking the bottle to get last droplets from the whisky bottle. -
Aināt life for living? Married at 25. Happily married for 34 years before cancer won her battle. Followed by ten years widowed and moved to the Welsh countryside. Started camping as a hobbyā¦.met a new partner. Now in our 5th year together. I donāt believe one era of my life any better than another. Itās life. We canāt change it.
-
Where does tha want it moving to? Itās already in general chatā¦.and nowāt to do with Sheffield.
-
Brilliantā¦.having worked and paid taxes all my lifeā¦I reach retirement. No more national insurance to pay, and no tax. Just live on the small state pension. UNTIL ā¦.some rich conservative politician decides to freeze the tax free limit at Ā£12570. Oh and weāll look good if we increase the pension by around 8%. Weāll give it with one hand..and take it back with tāother..
-
Nowtās changed then. I was beginning to think Sheffield forum had changed for the better. Our King has cancer and the usual suspects yet again turn it into an opportunity to āhave a goā at each other. Give it a rest please. Best wishes to King Charles.

I havenāt read the whole thread (intrusive adverts in the way)ā¦ But my most annoying and overused words areā¦..āyou know ā. I listen to a lot of radio/tvā¦and the number of interviewees responses say āyou knowā followed by their response. Why the āyou know āā¦. We donāt bloody know, else we wouldnāt have asked!
-
And.? Thanks for the banter.
-
And Iām so grateful to the worst performing NHS for saving my life. NEXT ?
-
Just to add (without looking for an argument) ā¦. There are many hospitals in Wales that are in city centres. Newport has two. Hospitals such as Ystrad Mynach are close to local villages with shopping centres, yet all are free parking. I just donāt understand how itās acceptable to pay twice. In England you are expected to pay twice. You pay taxes and national insurance just like the Welsh do. Surely thatās enough. And I wonāt mention free medication again.
-
Isnāt the title of this thread Northern General Parking? Has it moved? When I lived there it was in a northern suburb of Sheffield. Charges for parking there has nothing to do with being central (and therefore abused) ā¦..itās about ripping off vulnerable people when most in need.

Not getting into politics.. Welsh NHS saved my life. Enough saidā¦
-
So you and gaz 786 are mates? Gotya!
-
Where did that come from? I reckon you and gaz 786 are mates. Youāve both had a little bit of a dig at my recent comments. FYI One visit to a doctor and I immediately had blood tests. Long story cut shortā¦but within weeks I had an aneurysm repairedā¦kidney failure diagnosedā¦dialysis for 14 monthsā¦and a new kidney transplanted. Nothing but praise for the Welsh NHS from me. And the biggest praise to the family who allowed the loss of their loved one to save my life.

Child Taken To Hospital And 12-Year-Old Arrested
Allen replied to The_DADDY's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Since when was you made a moderator? My opinions are as valid as any other on hereā¦unless free speech is now banned on this public forum. The police obviously have taken the matter seriously. Fights, bullying or any violence at a young age can have lasting consequences in life. -
Or move to Wales. Hospital car parking is free hereā¦.as it should be. Ohā¦.and so is prescription medicationā¦no charge.

Child Taken To Hospital And 12-Year-Old Arrested
Allen replied to The_DADDY's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
So that means itās ok then? Ask a child constantly bullied at school if itās ok. Maybe you were the bully then? I still have bad memories of school days being bullied. Now in my 70ās. -
I guess that many of our then teachers have died.ā¦..it was so long ago. Still wondering why the op hasnāt returned to the forum?
-
Strange the op hasnāt been back on the thread. I have every Firparnian Magazine from ā62 to ā67. They were borrowed by the owner of the the site owned mentioned in post two.. And noā¦I aināt lending them again. Two years to return them was unacceptable. Plus I have a good idea who this cook isā¦apologiies if mistaken, but it aināt Silus Cook.

Trivia - Rough Areas That Used To Be Posh
Allen replied to Irene Swaine's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Same could be said for lots of areas in Sheffield, but agree Page Hall is naff. Firth Park not far behind. Left Sheffield twelve years agoā¦.. Miss the good old timesā¦but move back todayā¦no way! -
Lost interest in reading this thread when it became apparent it was another argument (described as discussion) between the usual suspects. Itās time they grow up and make this a forum once again reading. Just in case anyone takes this thread seriouslyā¦yes, Iām having mine tomorrow.

Marcia Grant. 13 Year Old Pleads Guilty.
Allen replied to Baron99's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I question why the lesser charge was accepted? -
Nowt unfriendly about the Welsh. Thatās why I moved here 12 years ago.

What Is One Profession That You Have Absolutely Zero Respect For?
Allen replied to Hanzo's topic in General Discussions
Forum owners that fill their webspace with annoying adverts despite complaints from users. Not sure it qualifies as a profession thoughā¦.. -
Colin Pitchfork: Double Child Killer And Rapist To Be Released
Allen replied to The_DADDY's topic in General Discussions
He should definitely not be releasedā¦but doubt a conversation on this or other forums will make a difference. Just a thoughtā¦..would it be possible to set up a petition to prevent his release.
