Fearful

it's the bottom of Fargate that's taped off. loads of police there too.

Maybe it's a ruse to avoid religation?

I would say that they could, it's a big enough city and the centre seems busier every year. Plus there's loads of new development in and around the city centre, plenty of room for more eateries I'd have thought. I love Pret a Manger personally, I'd be there every day!

The horn is very loud, you can hear it in my house when it's used on Middlewood Road. They do use it sparingly. Usually in I'm-driving-a-fifty-two-tonne-tram-and-It'll-do-you-loads-of-damage situations.

Used to get emails from them but I definately turned it off. Can't remember where exactly but it's in there somewhere (or at least was). Have a dig around.

They seemed to be winning then we saw large flames from the bottom of the black smoke plume: http://fearful.homeip.net/images/S2010001.jpg

I think these are the same blokes I saw in Hillsborough / Wadsley last week. They kept ducking up and down passages. As most people on our street are at work during the week I was wondering what they were up to. It was a white, battered old transit van. When I walked past they were muttering to each other about it being a bit too posh to bother looking round here. DODGY!!

Drove pass the station about 30mins ago and there were a number of emergency vehicles (including one marked "decontamination unit"). Anyone know what's going on?

Gregg’s make disgusting cheap filth which should be thrown straight down the nearest toilet. Subway make disgusting expensive filth which should be thrown straight down the nearest toilet. On the basis the Gregg’s don’t shout about how it’s better to ‘Eat Fresh’ whilst pedalling their particular brand of mass produced, reclaimed, reconstituted, irradiated junk. I have to vote for them. Local sandwich shops run by people who care about what they’re doing are not included in the poll I notice. Guess who I'd vote for then.

There's three ways to do this (depending on the router). You can restrict access to your wireless router by MAC address, which will only let the machines on you specify in the router's config access it. You can set up a password, which will also encrypt the data transmitted between your router and your computer. You can configure your router to not broadcast its name (SSID) which will stop people finding it in the first place. Or you can use all three. Your router's config pages should explain all this.

I must add Chesterfield to this list. It's a complete hole. and Batley... (Shudder)

Well said! If I catch the little herbert who's decided to brighten up my garden wall, he'll be the one looking colourful when I'm done with him.

I've been asked for suggestions from a colleague for a good place to go for a hen night in Sheffield. She's after a place she can eat and stay on all night at (i.e. somewhere with a bar). Having never thought of a venue for such an event in my life, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? Cheers

Hi - Nearly Crookes - Steve does yoga on a Wednesday night (8-9.30) at Fir Street Community Centre on Fir Street (just down the hill from Heavygate Road). Usually 4 quid a session (although I've not been for a while so best check!) I went having never done any yoga before and he was very supportive - the class is full of all kinds of ability and people new to yoga start all the time. He has a website: http://www.shamayoga.org.uk which has his email address and class times and venues on.

Hi - we live just off Middlewood Road about as close to the ground as you would be. Been here one year, have had absolutely no problems, though as has been said before, tactical parking is in order! I like living so close to somewhere that's such a big bit of the community and often throw open the windows and try to guess the score from the noise coming from the ground. Wouldn't change it for a second. Still...if they go up and more fans come back.....

No argument here. HB corner is a complete tip. However it always seems to be very busy during the day in my experiance. BoppinBruce: I'd like to know what's happening with the shop on the corner. According to the sign outside it's been bought by Harios, who own a place on Middlewood Road but it's been derelict for months. Anyone know?

How very odd. Mind you, haven't used it in ages. Anyone know why this would be? Actually, I've done a bit of digging and it appears that MS have changed their mind about this. SP2 certainly didn't used to do this, I've installed it on a few machines but not recently.

Actually parrotface that's not always the case. SP1 had a number of known dodgy serials programmed into it which did indeed stop it installing (there is a crack for this however). With SP2 Microsoft took the view that there were so many dodgy copies of WindowsXP out there with the security holes that SP2 plugged that it would be unwise to do the same. The dodgy copies could cause problems for the legal ones and so forth. SP2 will install just fine on most pirated versions of XP. Foxprom - you will need to install SP2, then run something like Adaware to get rid of spyware, and then download and run some anti-virus software. I suspect however that if you try to download SP2 as RJ45 suggests you’ll find your connection freezes before it’s finished. Give it a try though, if you’re really suck PM me your postal address I can send you SP2 on CD (as it’s such a lovely morning and I’m in such a good mood)

Ah the Wap: Stick to the floor (literately), drink lots of Newcastle Brown (don't ever get anything from a pump) go completely deaf and head on down to Rebels for the remainder of the evening and do much the same. Them were the days... Sigh Casbah is a poor substitute, but then I'm old and care not for the ways of the shiny shirted ones.

"The conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium. " That clears that up then

Ain't nature wonderful?

I heard the players themselves would prefer it to stay here. That's gotta hold some sway surely?

Anything to do with this? http://www.splintercell.com/uk/flashchaos/sheffield.htm

Couldn't a mod keep it up top anyway?

Abdul have you actually used any recent MM products, that was fixed a long time ago. I've got Dreamweaver MX2004, Fireworks MX2004 and FlashMX2004 open currently and they all look like Windows apps to me? An besides, my program's better than your program so there!
