Is that a definite? I need to do some printing from email/stick on Monday

They do say when you book its over 18s only...but they didn't card me (might be because I'm 37)

Thanks... Found the city hall website and book through that. Seems a little odd there isn't a link to that thru the Last Laugh website...oh well Looking forward to it...Toby Foster is an excellent host. Might go and see Roger Monkhouse on Wed too :D:D

On MondayI rang the number on the website which goes through to the Memorial Hall Box Office...I got an answerphone message telling me their opening hours...even though I rang between those hours. The message suggested I left my name, number and a short message, and they would call me back. I did. They haven't. So I called back today...got through to the same answerphone message...but there seems like loads of messages on there cause I never got to the beep after holding for a while... So how do I book tickets for here. I need 7 for the 22nd And 2 for the 29th thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions...I had forgotten I started this thread...I just have Dad to buy for now By the sounds of it there are a few of us going >) Is there an Unoffical Sheffield Forum Meet in Oz over Xmas then?

great suggestions so far.... england shirts apart lol

Hi, I am spending Xmas in Australia with my friend's family...and I am struggling for ideas for presents to get them. I would like them to be perhaps relating to the UK, England, Yorkshire, Sheffield or Scotland, as that is where i hale from...and I have a budget in and around £20 per family member. Any suggestions? Maybe there is something our expat forumers miss about our 'septic' (sic) isle... I have the following people to cater for Eldest Brother (30ish) who works with computers and his long term girlfriend...about the same age...and all I know about her is she's originally Austrian...(if thats any relevence ) Youngest Brother (late 20s) apparently not a very social animal and likes his computer games (but rumour has it he downloads them all ) Mum, late 50s...erm likes Heartbeat, Doctor Martin and shows like that...seemed to like the Yorkshire Hamper I gave her on my last visit..it was slightly more than £20 mind Dad, 60... I know that one, as its was his birthday last month, and they all got him a v nice digital camera...he likes his photography. And Grandma...in her 80s bless her. Any help on ideas, would be appreciated... Amusing responses would be probably more appreciated...as we all love a bit of Aussie-baiting.

My parents have come down for the weekend and don't want to leave their dog in the house on his own. So we want to find somewhere to eat out within 30 min of Sheffield that has an outdoor eating area, so we don't have to leave the dog in the car...its going be a hot one again :D:D Any suggestions?

I was dissappointed when I saw the Ting Tings... Got tickets for The Courteeners tho

I got excited at a few of those too...but then I saw Milburn's name...and they've split First album...quality Second Album...hmmm, are you a Coral tribute band? So good decision I guess

He is a legend to all Forest fans...as is Webb and Walker and erm... (to some, including me) Collymore. The best player I have seen live in my life. Pity he's an arse (can I say arse?)

As a Forest fan I take acception to you placing the legends of Webb and Hodge in the same sentence as the other one.

Thanks... And with ample parking at Meadowhall, I can abandon the car there. :clap:

Saturday 24th...is it me or are there no trains to Leeds from Sheffield until gone 18.00? And only 1 coach at 7.15??? I don't want to drive...but it looks like I've got to

I'll go for Bristol City then...as no one else seems to fancy them

This caught my eye too. Amongst all the debate...how the hell did their numbers get that high? If there is anything that would involve me in politics its the ignorance of those that support policies based on ignorance

Morning Yes...great idea... I quite like playing the smiling game... Try it next time your out

9 points in 9 months... 34 in a 30 36 in a 30 fair cops IMO and then a 85 on a clear motorway didnt appreciate that one and then nothing for 3 years... I'm clear

Have i missed this expo?

Yes S20.................

Went to Oz last July (Sydney, although I did venture to the Blue Mountains and the Hunter Valley)...it was fantastic. Going back in March...again to Sydney, with a weekend in Melbourne sandwich in...:D:D:D Any recommendations for things to do?

I'm Scottish, and the only anthem, apart from my own, to raise hairs on the back on my neck, is the Welsh....

At my sister's in North Wales...she's the only one with the space (and kids)

Well here's one. I even went to Nurnberg for the Trinidad & Tobago game...dressed in my Scotland World Cup 1978 Shirt...it was too hot to adorn the kilt until later in the evening...but it got an airing. The amount of abuse I got was mostly good humoured..."Are you lost mate...." etc. But that may be because England won...otherwise I might have been subject to something nastier, as a guy came up to me at the end and said the following (which made me LOL and thank him for his patronage...I'm not sure he knew what I meant) "You know mate (drunken slur and arm round my shoulders)...when I first saw you I thought you were a w*****r, but now I think you are alright...." I told him to always trust his first impression. As for the abuse Scots give the English, it is ridiculously worse IMO... it smacks of insecurity, and those that offer out this abuse (including members of my own family) ought to grow up. They are a nation (almost) standing on their own two feet, and suddenly they have no one else to blame when things go wrong political/social-wise...just get over yourselves. As for the footy...OMG I was gutted....as Andy Gray said...if you wanted a 90 min lesson in what it is to be a Scottish fan that was it.... Huge over-sensationalised build up.... Immediate bitter disappointment.... OMG we are going to do it..... Oh no we didn't.... Heroic losers once again. Robbed? Perhaps not, considering Italy's disallowed goal was good and Scotland's goal off-side..... But OMG...I was so gutted, I stopped drinking.
