  1. I'm just about to start trying to piece together my family tree and was wondering how many people share my surname (Vintin obviously) out there and to see if I can piece the family together. Anybody know any Vintin's or got any Vintin stories?
  2. in the South View Crescent, Sharrow area. I've only ever seen one window cleaner around here and that was ages ago. I don't seem to be able to find one in the Yellow Pages or online so wondered if anyone did a round near here or has their windows cleaned around here and could pass on their cleaners number. Cheers.
  3. I need some gardening doing and was just about to phone some people from the Yellow Pages when a man knocked at my door and asked if I wanted any gardening doing. Me being lazy thought this was divine intervention and might save me some phone calls. Just thought I'd check with the good folk of Sheffield first though to see if anyone had had work done by these folks. Any customers? Any thougts? He's touting for business in the Woodhouse Mill area at the moment.
  4. Just before I forget. Must mention the quality on the Sheffield Farmer's market last Sunday was excellent. I got some lovely stuff off a stall called sweets on the menu or something like that. Lovely bread and some cake things that I've never seen before, felt all continental. Sheffield might actually become cultured if it's not careful. I'll be there next time (3rd Sunday in the month I think). Just my thoughts, you might disagree.
  5. I'm looking for a sign, a plasticky type thing to hang on a market stall. I need it to be hard wearing, with eyeholes for hanging and about 5ft x 18ins. I've had a quick search on the web but they all seem pretty much of a muchness, ayone got any personal recommendations?
  6. Can anyone tell me anything about this at all? Is it a large Farmer's Market? Is it worth traveling too from the other side of Sheffield? Is it busy? etc.
  7. It depends which bit of the Badger you get to live on as to whether it is pleasant or not. There are a few notorious families that would be best avoided but I'm assuming that will not be your choice. The area and may of the houses are much better than they used to be. That end of Woodhouse should be ok, but there is a stream nearby and the River Rother that could ptentially go mad, but I'm no expert on those things.
  8. I am looking to set up a team at Goals, playing each Thursday starting with the 3rd of August. We have a decent team (unfortunately we'll have to start in the lowest league as a new team) but from previous experience it would be advisable to have a good keeper. Someone who actually likes playing in the net and doesn't want to go up front every week for some glory. Anyone interested please get in touch.
  9. I have been teaching TEFL for 2 years in Poland. I intend to return to Sheffield in August this year and was wondering if anyone else managed to eek out a living by doing this privately in Sheffield. OR if anyone kn ows of people who would be interested in me teaching them should I head down this road of employment.
  10. I've been a couple of times, it's an excellent place. PM me if you want more specific details.
  11. Not sure how I'll be arriving to be honest, but glad they've sorted that bit put, I'm sure they were doing that when I left the first time.
  12. I've been living overseas for most of the last 2 years but am returning to the Steel City in July, probably for good. I've not seen a great deal of positivity on here so was wondering what are the biggest improvements to Sheffield in the last two years.
  13. Is that because there isn't anything? Do you have a hostel? Where are the B&B's you mention? Central?
  14. I am looking to stay in Sheffield for three nights in April. I've trawled the internet but don't seem to be able to find any budget options at all. I'm quite happy to share a dorm room, but would prefer it to be as central as possible. Any suggestions, please? Looking at about 20 pound per night if possible.
  15. I live in Wroclaw to answer your very old question. Sorry.
  16. Thanks for the proper answers. Thanks for not answering at all Foo Fighter you'd have been better saving your fingers rather than writing nothing and trying to be superior.
  17. I'm not living in sunny Sheffield at the minute, so was just wondering if the world's longest decorating scheme was actually finished.
  18. I'm currently living in Poland and was just wondering how many people have done the opposite and have chosen Britain's biggest village (Sheffield to most people) as their city of choice in the U.K. Have you noticed many Poles around and what are your thoughts of the ones you have met?
  19. Are there any Sheffield ex-pats living in sunny Poland?
  20. A better question might be do you know anywhere that plays anything other than that garbage.
  21. I've been in Poland for a year or so and was just wondering if I was the only one here?
  22. Went on Saturday for one. Quite an old crowd (to my eyes), from mid 30's up to 70 year olds. Music was run of the mill, the sound was good enough the beer wasn't the best. I probably won't be going too often but it's bearable.
  23. I didn't think I'd need to be specific about the certain social class but I did mean scrubbers/parafin lamps/scroats/scummers, those types. Tracksuits/gold they know who they are.
