  1. I was referring more to the fact that Sheffield is a big city, rather than its history with Steel. But thanks for the input.
  2. Thank you all for the suggestions. I've checker them out and Simmal seems to have what im after, not local but i'll give them a call. I didn't think this would have been so difficult to find in Sheffield! Cheers.
  3. Hello, I'm looking for local suppliers of Aluminum extrusion or Aluminium T Slot. I'm wanting to make a cube from this material but I can't find anywhere local where I can go and see the product. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
  4. If we did leave the EU, what would the chances be for a general election? (sorry if this has already been asked)
  5. Myself and a small group of friends (in their 30's) are looking for nice scenic campsite in South Yorkshire of Derbyshire which allow small fires. I have searched around and can't find any at all as most sites don't allow groups of lads. So I thought I would ask on here as a last resort! Thank you in advance
  6. I know that is an option on most cars, but these seem to be a bit more tricky and therefore a press is required. Still looking for a mobile mechanic is anyone has any suggestions? Thank you
  7. Can anyone recommend a mobile mechanic to change a wheel bearing for me on a Focus ST170. They would need a press for these bearings so I have been told. I'm based in Penistone. Thank you
  8. isn't it just a large scale training exercise? I don't understand why American's think this is the end of the world. What am I missing?
  9. Thanks martss, I will have a look into that first option! I'm still pretty confident it wasn't a plane. I do see them all the time round here and the fact it was so high up, clear skies and yet nothing in the sky once the light vanished. I'm sure I would have seen the actual plane after the bright seen as though I stopped and watched the sky for a while after. But I suppose anything is possible!
  10. True, that was one of my thoughts. The fact is it happened quite quickly before I could really take it in. It was bright like a headlight but from what seemed very far away, and high in the sky! The sky was still light..ish so if it was a plane or helicopter I would have been able to see it. There were no clouds that it could have gone behind too.
  11. yeah sure, not today I'm afraid but I will do. The photo's are not great as I didn't have a zoom lens but you can see the trail, which also has a distinct kink in the line, kind of shaped like a boomerang. I didn't think UFO or anything like that, my first thought was a plane explosion or something like that? I had a quick look on t'interweb when I got home and thought it could have been a meteor/fireball. But the fact that it wasn't moving may have put me off that idea.
  12. This will happen. The Greeks will not be able to repay that debt.....ever! We will be in the exact same situation when the next repayment is due. I think the Greeks will get the bailout knowing full well they can't repay it, and hope it's written off when the do eventually leave the EU. That vote against austerity didn't exactly work did it?
  13. it was far too bright and big for that, and facing me (so away from Manchester) Also just to add, the light wasn't moving at all. Thank you
  14. I read posts like this on here and never thought i'd be the one asking, but......did anyone see a bright light in the sky last night (14/07) around 9:40pm? I was just outside Penistone looking towards the west of Manchester. I was driving down a lane and I saw this very bright light high in the sky. Far too bright and too big to be a star. It was abnormal enough for me to pull over to check it out. But as soon as I pulled over it had gone. But in the same area in the sky I could see what looked like a trail of some kind, coming from where the bright light was and shooting down. I did take a few pictures of the trail as I thought it was extending towards the ground. I first thought something had exploded in the sky and it was the trail from that. But after 10 minutes it didn't seem to be moving any further down, so it could have just been a cloud maybe? At first the trail was glowing red, but it was at sunset so I presumed it was just that. Anyway, I just thought I would post it on here in case anyone saw it or could explain it. Thank you
  15. if I remember right the flag was very popular amongst Muslims way before ISIS as it is the stamp of a ring that the prophet Mohammed was known to wear and used as a wax seal on letters. I once did counter terrorism training for my job which included this information. This was post ISIS, and the message was, the flag could be a sign of ISIS or as a message from Mohammed and could therefore be completely innocent. But since ISIS has made this symbol associated with the terror group then we all now associate it this way. The trouble is that the flag is pretty much exclusively associated with ISIS, in which case if I saw that flag I would probably associate it with the terror group.
  16. This strike action cannot be regarding the costs of the CCTV. The amount of time they have already gone on strike would be more than enough to cover the cost of the CCTV. And at £5 a week for the hire (if that is correct) is such a minimal cost its laughable. I fear that the ones protesting are hiding other issues why they don't want CCTV. I find the whole argument weak - what are the real issues for rejecting CCTV?
  17. True and why i thought he drove off, but maybe calling the police first would have been another option. Luckily the mob didn't attack us, but that was a concern of mine.
  18. I once got on a bus without the correct change, it was the start of the journey into town on a weekday morning, so I knew he was going to get plenty of paying customers, so he would eventually have change. But he was having none of it so took the £20 off me and said i had to go to the bus station to get the change. Fair enough, was my fault and i did as advised. After about 10 minutes on the bus he had the change, the drawer with his coins in was overflowing with ££'s, so i asked if he could change it now but he still refused. Basically i think some drivers go out of their way to **** you off when they could try a little harder, customer service was pretty much non existent with First bus drivers, not sure of that still the case? I also had a driver who drove past me twice in a morning whilst I was catching the 30 bus from Beighton to town, he smiled as he drove past me which was nice. Also knowing it was the last stop in Beighton and the next bus wasn't for another 30 minutes. Some of these drivers are just horrible people. I've reported drivers on many occasions, but nothing ever happened as the same muppets were still driving the buses. I also was once on a bus post 9/11, going through Darnall where the road was blocked by a gang of Youths, they then proceeded to smash the windows on the bus with bricks. Quite scary as you can imagine, so what did the bus driver do?....he decided to kick us all off the bus and drive away as quick as he could, leaving us to deal with gang of youth's. Excellent service once again.
  19. Im in Penistone and it's looking heavy at the moment, we always get a good amount of snow up here!
  20. from what i have read WH Smiths will not be selling it, but Menzies will be, but like others have said it will probably available in London later this week when the English versions are released. But it is the French one i would like to get hold of.
  21. Does anybody know if the latest copy will be sold anywhere in Sheffield? Thank you
  22. Thank you all - decided to use a charity who will be collecting them today.
  23. Thank you everyone, fire cert labels still attached so i will contact one of those charities.
  24. We bought them 2 years ago from DFS but have decided to buy better quality ones. But what do we do with these? They are in too good a condition for the tip, but one of the cushions zip has gone so not in good enough condition to sell on ebay. Are there any charities that will collect? They still have plenty of life left in them so would be a shame to throw them in the tip? Any suggestions please? Thanks
  25. Hi, sorry I cant help with your search. But i was wondering what is happening to the new (ish) TV studio that was upgraded a few years back? are the moving it or selling the equipment? Thanks
