What to wear for an interview?
scarab replied to Jakbroad's topic in Sheffield Business & Employment
Hope it goes/went OK. I started as as apprentice there back in 1983 straight from school, got made redundant along with all the other apprentices and about 500 other empoyees back in 85 due to the economic climate back then, it was a great place, proper work and a good bunch of lads. With regards dress code and making an impression, someone once said to me "you only ever have one go at making a first impression" -
My other half applied, got through to the assesment 'asda magic', she thought she did ok at the event but unfortunately got an email on friday saying she had been unsuccessful, it stands for 6 months so she can't apply for asda during that period, looks like that will mean missing out on christmas temps they say will be advertised in september.

If you are on cable you would probably have to connect the router to the modem but if your broadband comes down the normal telephone line (You mention BT Internet so I presume they are you BB provider) you should be OK, the router will plug into an ADSL filter which in turn will plug into your telephone line.

I would go for republic.

Where was your paper round when you were younger?

pitsmoorlad - what years did you do marshalls, I worked there around 79, used to hate it when someone didn't turn in at the firshill shop and you were asked to cover the round up there. I had quite a few episodes with dogs on the rounds, perhaps they knew I had a fear of them. -
You must remember the Loco Club, Pitsmoor?
scarab replied to pitsmoorlad's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I used to go in the loco on a saturday night with my Mom, Dad and Sister, My aunt and uncle used to go in the "posh" adult retreat downstairs and we used to hang about in the foyer staring at them through the glass until the steward on the door got fed up with us and kicked us back up stairs. My cousin once played a gig in there with a band called Nimrod, they used to play heavy rock covers, his mates were dancing near the raised stage in their waist coats and thumbs in belt loops to the covers of status quo. We used to do penny for the guy at kicking out time at the fox and duck and the loco around bonfire night (I can't believe we were allowed out to do it that late) then burn the guys on the bonfires on stanleys field. The trips to the seaside were great with your brown envelope of money, if you could manage to get away without your parents so it was you and your mates you were onto have a great day out in the arcades. Good times... -
I remember some of those names, I can't remember her name but one of the the beal's (daughter) used to knock about with my cousin at Herries. I was in the same year as one of the Blakes and Mallinsons. I lived on Andover Drive, Denholme and Pye bank before moving to Longley in the early 80's. Did you ever play a game called mad dog, we used to play it in the wash yard and wind my mates dog up by going up the washing poles next to the wall where the garages were and shouting the dog, he used to run up the ramp to get to us and we would then slide down the poles shouting the dog, he would then run down the ramp and guess what , we went back up the pole and shouted him from the top again. At the time it all seemed like fun until one day I got fed up of playing and made off across the wash yard while the game was still in progress and the dog ran up to me and bit my hand, At the time I couldn't understand why the dog didn't know I wasn't playing anymore.

I lived on denholme close before moving to pye bank road, on the bottom (number 5 i think), I remeber the games you mention, did you play "kick can" or make the grass slides where we used to get old carboard boxes and slide done the hill so the grass went yellow and slippy. The hills where on the way to the shops (not very big and used to end at the brick wall where there was a bit of a drop). I remember the haunted firey jack, I was too young to go but my sister went, or so she said. Names I remember, bingham, tantum, higgins, morris, smedley, gelsthorpe to name but a few.

CCNA Cisco networking course HELP-please read
scarab replied to Mo1984's topic in Computer & Tech Chat
Sounds like you are looking for boot camp type training, very intensive and long day training courses. I know there were some in wakefield run by a company called Global, try the following link, a couple of the guys i work with have been on them and passed the CCNA using the boot camp as a foundation. http://www.globalknowledge.co.uk/Default.aspx?page=461&coursecode=CCNABC -
No mater how old you are farts are funny. I would rather be out with my children and hear farts (and laugh together about them) than listen to people swearing (making excuses for them...ooohh isn't that naughty).

Bring back absolute power of the monarchy, that way there wouldn't be the "term only" policies of the tinpot local councils and governments, plus we could behead any of the kings/queens effected by any inter cousin breeding who decided we all had to have dandelions stuffed up our noses on every 3rd wednesday in August !!!

I suppose there are 3 things you would/could have done .. 1/ Joined in, be swept up in the mania which would have been normal day to day life due to the huge number of people involved and the fact that your leaders where behind it. 2/ Opposed it and hide or be sent to the death camps or the Russian front. 3/ Carry on as normal as you can but ignoring it and being too scared to question what was happening. I would guess that the majority of people would have fallen into the 3rd option and be blinkered to the reality of the attrociaties that where carried out, that way you are not condoning nore condeming what is happening, e.g don't rock the boat. remember history is written by the victors... sorry for any incorrect spelling.
