ive seen barbel in the sheaf at heeley bridge maybe a couple at most on the side where the old bridge inn pub is,not sure how they got in,but you can fish the sheaf at various places further up, such as tesco's and millhouses,maybe they have got in from the abbeydale industrial hamlet pond? walked on the canal in the rain monday and noticed various pike and carp bait packets throw in the bushes along with the bankside's burnt and the walls black are certain people catching pike and carp and cooking em on the bankside? this was between bacon lane and staniforth road and also the access point at bernard road, very worrying, on the plus side it looked very very tasty the canal and full of fish!

Graves Park, Leave your memories here
nortonlees15 replied to canadablade's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
spent loads of time in graves as a kid and probably even more now with my son playing sunday league etc,still a great place, i fished in the lakes and swam in the "boater" myself and my best mate had the unfortunate experience of trying to help the poor grandad who's granddaughter drowned back in 1982,never ever want to repeat that. -
what a star!! what goes around comes around,hope you have some luck for such a kindly deed, sadly the world is short of good honest people like you.

nortonlees15 replied to Beamish's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
T**T! yes it must be ace to be able to describe ex's and people who you dont like in general with words like that! JCC is awesome he played the univ last april, As for markmywordz i remember going to the tv show the tube in the 80s when he was on, and after the show seeing him stood at a bus stop waiting for a bus to take him to the train station,nowt like fame! -
Shiraz, Abbeydale Road..name change ??
nortonlees15 replied to bslbabe's topic in Going out in Sheffield
awesome! we went couple of months ago and ordered a bit to much! next time we will skip the starter and go straight to the main course, which there was loads and loads,we where probably the only english in at the time as most where iranians etc so that speaks volumes about the quality of the food!! -

the words "get out more" "turn your radio off" "get a life" spring to mind,you seem to have a lot of time on your hands. -
Norton Lees, opinions please?
nortonlees15 replied to jobass1987uk's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
bus service is rubbish,but then again most of the other areas in sheffield are the same,schools are ok,sportsman and cross are ok,graves park is the best park in england,woodseats is 5 min walk down hill and 15 mins back up, quite a few "ten bob snobs" but isnt there in most areas of sheffield? -
in the sheffield star one character said he was a stay at home dad! So who was looking after the child then?

i worked here when it was a delivery office and the floor was completely block paved but in wooden bricks,it was polished once a week by the cleaners who had been working for royal mail forever! all the toilets where tiled in those great long brick shaped white tiles,plus all the radiators where the old cast iron and everything was what you would find in a antique dealers now,such a shame.

NORTON LEES JUNIORS FC U11's (2011/2012)
nortonlees15 replied to cjcjjs8's topic in Sheffield Sport & Activities
is'nt it about the young lads enjoying themselves? yet again parents getting involved,laying the law down,taking control blah blah blah,well when september comes and teams are struggling to put a team out and if they cant then the lads who want to play dont,purely as there is not enough numbers, grow up you set of monday morning managers!!!!!!!!!!!! -
People camping outside academy for Kasabian tickets
nortonlees15 replied to Nicoracle's topic in Going out in Sheffield
usual story, they sell out in 5 mins or so and then they appear 15 mins later at vastly inflated prices on other ticket sites, doesnt it say on the terms and conditions there is no resale allowed on them? basically legalised ticket touts. -
Tramlines 2011 Megathread - 22 - 24 July
nortonlees15 replied to HarleyLive's topic in Going out in Sheffield
you dont need tickets, its a free festival,and the last 2 years where excellent,im looking forward to seeing the hipshakes! -
think its just down to the fact that these teams have been running years and slowly built up decent teams with basically keeping the kids together,my lads team did quite well this year due to him and another 8 or 9 of the lads staying together rather then moving to other teams,when you get them playing regular with each other it's the beginning of a decent team, plus the major factor is the "pushy parents" who's kids better then all the rest,well in there eyes anyway,taking there kids elsewhere,and not really consulting the major factor ie there child!

Selfish parking outside schools!
nortonlees15 replied to jarojaro's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
mundella school is pretty bad,the pub lets parents use the car park but thats not good enough for most of em, quite a few block pavements and park on the bad corner on warminster then shoot off at 50mph to get to there "career" certain joker always parks on the zig zags and ive seen one parent pick there kid up and then zoomed across the zebra even tho the lollypop lady was stood in the middle of it,ive informed woodseats police shop but they dont seem to be bothered, so my solution to parking on pavements is to go down the side of there cars with my keys or push the mirrors in,not everybody's choice but there you go -
Cant really see the point in all these demos, didnt all these people who voted for them realise that all politicians lie? the students make me laugh, they spent most of the lead up to last years elections protesting about a totally unelectable party (BNP) whilst they really should have kept an eye on cleggy and the rest of his ex public school boy cronies, like every other party thats been in power,its all been about keeping the working classes in there place,(miners etc) everything we once owned is in foreign hands,the country is down the pan, mcdonalds, kfc,burgerking are full of "skilled migrant workers?" whilst our young cant get jobs,so you all have yourself's to blame, and learn your lesson "NEVER TRUST MIDDLE CLASS EX PUBLIC SCHOOLBOYS!!!!"

quite a lot of the houses on warminster crescent have shrapnel holes on the back garden side of the houses,you can clearly see where they where filled in with cement,also quite a few houses have or had reinforced ceilings upstairs due to the shock of bombs dropping.

Lack of bands visiting sheffield
nortonlees15 replied to nortonlees15's topic in Going out in Sheffield
in the late 70s and early 80s every major band played sheffield, not the case now, loads of bands do the 02 academys but not the sheffield one, is this down to different promoters? and besides havnt we got one of the biggest student populations in the country?
