We bumped into Kenny a couple of years ago in Crystal Peaks, he looked very well. I have a photo but can’t seem to copy it to this site.

Spiers. A shop in Sheffield 1967
rainbow2411 replied to Becclescake's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I seem to remember going downstairs to Spiers display counters but I may be wrong. I bought my lovely little leather bag and gloves for our wedding, which coincidentally was 4/12/1965 so it’s our 55th Wedding Anniversary today.💝🍾 -
24, I don't think I’ll ever forgive Keifer Sutherland for not giving Jack a happy ending.

Which singer or band did you never see live but wish you had ?
rainbow2411 replied to pattricia's topic in Entertainment Chat
Bob Seger. -
John Prine, the great singer/songwriter died yesterday from Covid 19. He wrote some of my favourite song, Paradise, Angel From Montgomery and his wonderful risqué In Spite Of Ourselves. RIP.

I hope you don’t mind but I have copied the school photograph and sent it to Jody, Frank’s daughter and she is thrilled she hadn’t seen it before, so thank you for posting.

Lost Pub, LOCAL FIELDS ,149 Attercliffe Road
rainbow2411 replied to DUNKS's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
The only Pub I know that backed onto Princess Street from was The Rawsons Arms but that was 165-175 Attercliffe Road. The pub you are searching for must have been on the other side of the arches further towards Town so couldn’t have backed onto Princess Street, it was probably backing onto Greystock Street. There was a pub called The Railway on Lovell Street that backed onto Princess Street but that’s obviously not the one you want. I lived on Princess Street from1943 but I can’t remember a pub there, it may have been before my time. -
We use this roundabout several times a week and think it’s working very well, it has stopped the problem of turning right out of Birley Spa Lane onto Moss Way.

Anyone remember the Shack cafe?

I used to call in there for a coffee with my friend Joan before we went to the Wrestling over the road in Somme Barracks -
Jahova's wittnesses- A sinister cult controlled by freemasons?

Absolutely not, just giving what is an alternative lifestyle choice that other religionist could follow. -

Alternatively they could have chosen to live in ghettoish segregation and accuse anyone, such as the detractors and ridiculers on this thread, of being a Jehovahaphobic bigot. -
We bumped into Kenny this morning in at Crystal Peaks, he looks great and is in fine fettle, I did take a picture but sadly don’t know how to upload it ?

Frasier is my very favourite comedy show, superb script and excellent actors, Martin and Eddie were a delight to watch. RIP

God help me, I’m being forced to listen to Blond on Blond, Bob Dylan is the worst singer EVER

I think Bob is recovering from his back/neck problem and hope to be back this year. You are so lucky to be at that concert and I am really really jealous ? -

Bob Seger and The Everly Brothers sadly I’m to late for Don and Phil but I might yet get to see Bob Seger. -
There was a major sewer project in that area a few years ago, I understood that it was completed but could be wrong.

TV Soaps - What Rubbish We Are Served Up.
rainbow2411 replied to ANGELFIRE1's topic in Entertainment Chat
I stopped watching Coronation Street and Eastenders years ago but do record Emmerdale, I think the characters are so much more pleasant, the qualiity of the acting is better and I find I enjoy one or more of the storylines and just fastforward through the others. -
Nut bar in Meadowhell wheres it gone?
rainbow2411 replied to Happyanna's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Many years ago I worked in the little fruit stall situated near the steps in the side entrance of Castle Market, Jack (I can't remember his surname ) rented that and a larger stall on the ground floor. I found him to be a good boss unlike his obnoxious son Phillip. -
The point was to start a discussion which he did, everyone who joined in seemed to enjoy the thread until your miserable post. I am sure he wasn't "gloating" neither was anyone else.

My OH is 72 and still plays drums and sings in a Rock'n'Roll band, we have to keep enjoying life as long as our old bodies allow.

Protest at Town Hall... 30/01/2017
rainbow2411 replied to Ghozer's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
The difference is that in the minds of some people they are happy to accept that Muslim countries have the right to control their borders and thereby decide who they allow into their country, they are able to decide their own laws and which religion they choose to allow to practise but when western democracies exercise just some of these rights then they somehow become an anathema and must be violently opposed. ---------- Post added 05-02-2017 at 14:25 ---------- I suspect that you actually do understand the USA voting system and well know that the Electoral College is the mechanism used, Trump won the election fair and square and like UKIP, who received over 12% of the vote and only 1 MP, the left needs to accept the rules in place and move on.
