  1. It's got to be worth sorting out the welding and then getting a decent price for it - now is the time people are looking to buy campers too. Try the guys down this alley in Malin bridge; I had a lot of welding done on my old camper here. Decent work at a very reasonable price. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.400331,-1.511667,3a,30y,78.74h,74.08t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sMWfIMsbG0aODP_BpEIjFuw!2e0
  2. I've used Carsons Stationery on West Street before: http://carsonstationery.co.uk Always found Staples to be a bit expensive but probably good for an office. We use Viking Direct mail order at work with free next day delivery (over £20 or something).
  3. No problem - it kept me entertained for a few mins during a quiet day at work anyway.
  4. This link (bottom) suggests that the name is also related to a cash point on Ecclesall Road: http://www.nearestcashpoint.co.uk/search/cash-points-in-crookes-south-yorkshire
  5. I think that the actual fitting of roof bars on the car is relatively easy - If you get the right kit for your car it should be easy enough to do with the instructions. Generally there are fittings on the car or screw holes already in place - you just need to know where they are. Personally, I've been looking at a tow bar and bike rack that clips on to that as loading the bikes is a pain on the roof and isn't great for fuel efficiency.
  6. I'm not sure of the name, but there is a wool shop opposite the Springvale Pub on Commonside which may be able to help sell your things.
  7. I think it can be distracting as well, especially when it changes image and you get one with a bright white background - it definitely catches your eye!
  8. If you have a car then drive, or even hiring one and driving would probably be cheaper than the train. You could probably save a few pounds (£15) if you split the journey. i.e. get the train to Bristol and then get a different train to Yeovil (2 journeys, 2 tickets, not 1 ticket for all). Hope that makes sense.
  9. Cold feet can keep me awake too so I wear bed socks and we also have an electric blanket to pre-heat the bed; you can also leave it on low over the whole night. Also, as mentioned before, try the sounds to help you drift off (free apps for your phone) and make a list of things on your mind before bed so you don't have to try and remember them. If all fails I get up read some news or look on Sheffield Forum and go back to bed when I'm tired.
  10. If it is the same as my 1999 6N2 polo (I think is is a 1.4spi) you have to: 1, Open the bonnet, look at the right hand side at the back (just under the windscreen wipers). 2, You have to pull the rubber sealing strip from the right hand side (it it a squashy one and comes off easily - its not the very flat one directly under the windscreen). 3, After that you lift out the plastic cover which is under the wipers and goes from the right hand side to the middle (there may be some lugs holding it on too - I think I accidentally broke mine). 4, The pollen filter is under that cover in a box of its own. I hope these instructions make sense - I don't know why it is hidden where it is!
  11. I don't know if they are moving or why but why do people always think the most negative things. Maybe they are going to relocate as they are doing so well they need a bigger premises.
  12. Have you considered cycling? It takes me 40ish mins to cycle the 10 miles from S6 to Rotherham (near the hospital). Allow an hour though to give you time to shower.
  13. When I see the road narrowing like that on my bike I'd be getting in the middle of the lane to stop cars overtaking at that point
  14. Have you tried this website? You can search for campsites which allow fires like this: UKCampsites
  15. Yes, I'm sure each cyclist paying an annual fee will make them impervious to being hit by cars like some magic force field! What planet are you from? It is car drivers who should be careful where they are going and should only overtake when it is safe to do so. As a cyclist I can tell you it is no fun being on the road with car drivers on busy roads but sometimes there is no other option. As a car driver as well I can tell you it is inconvenient being stuck behind a cyclist, it is also inconvenient being stuck behind buses and tractors, but I'd rather be late then have someone's life on my conscience.
  16. I have these on my mountain bike currently. They have a low rolling resistance and it only takes a couple of minutes longer to ride 10 miles on them than my touring bike. I've also taken them off road in the wet, dry and snow. In deep mud and snow they struggle a bit but otherwise I've been really impressed with them. Geax Tyres
  17. I'm pretty sure fluorescent light tubes contain mercury and there is a coating on the inside of the glass which is hard to get off. They also break with sharp edges. I would probably avoid using one if you can wait.
  18. From Street View, it looks like you should be moving to the left lane as you round the roundabout, otherwise people joining from Chesterfield Road South may think you aim to continue around to the right. As mentioned above it is only a single lane exit to the Jordanthorpe Parkway so to take right of way you need to be in the left lane.
  19. The Sunday looks good. Can you get day tickets? The Saturday I would also go to. I'm in my late 20s and think you'd get a good crowd with proper promotion.
  20. Sorry I can't help with the best place to weigh them in, but you might find you get a better price selling as is rather than scrapping them.
  21. Personally as a cyclist (and a car driver) I don't think cycling on dual carriageways is a particularly smart thing to do. There is a high closing speed between car and bike, and the person on the inside lane has to go around you which probably means they have to encroach on the next lane. If they are on the ball and have been checking their mirrors for a gap then all is ok but if they haven't and they try that manoeuvre when a car is aside them then there is only going to be one looser! Whether cycling or driving I tend to think of all other drivers as idiots, and give them a wide a birth as possible - most seem to have enough difficulty going forward let alone being aware of their surroundings. A quick mention on the other point of people cycling on the road instead of a shared path - If a cyclist can maintain a speed near that of the speed of the road traffic then they should be away from pedestrians and on the road (unless its a dual carriageway of course )
  22. If your looking for a cheap smartphone then why not consider this: Orange San Diego It has good specs, is new and half of your budget. If your not on Orange to start with you can get it unlocked from the network cheaply (£10-£20).
  23. I also highly recommend PA Jewellery. I had a bespoke engagement ring made there. I got the size wrong (another Jeweller measured my Fiancée's finger poorly) and it couldn't be re-sized. They could have told me tough luck but instead they have bent over backwards helping us out. I can't imagine many places would offer that sort of customer service nowadays. They could probably reset the diamond into the ring if you wanted.
  24. I heard there was this car park up in the woods... ...oh hang on a sec, I read the title a bit quickly! P.S. I've heard Wordpress is actually very easy to use
  25. My cousin swears by bee sting therapy. I'm not sure what type of Arthritis she has but it will help an area for a couple of months. Obviously its not great for the bees and you have to be able to deal with the pain of the stings. She is so convinced by it she has started keeping bees. I'm not sure it is everyone's cup of tea but its another option to look into.
