apologies if this is on the forum somewhere, couldn't find it - and Google hasn't helped either with this one because it keep bring up out of date pages I need to get a Covid vaccination (vulnerable family member who doesn't live with us) but am not eligible for an NHS one. The local chemists seem to offer vaccination but only to eligible NHS folks, like over 65s. Is it not possible to get a vaccine this year?

thanks folks - lots of food for thought

Been looking at getting a VPN, for more privacy / security etc, torn between Surfshark and Nord Are they really as easy to set up & use as the ads say? Do I have to install stuff on our router and TV etc. I am guessing phones are quite easy How many connections do I really need? For example Nord VPN allows 6 devices, is my router a device and my laptop? I assume the 6 is connections not devices Any advice / opinions welcome, thank you

Interested in folks views of Aberystwyth Partly, how on earth do you get there? Google seems to offer many routes - so maybe there isn't one good way - welcome experiences What's it like? We stopped going to North Wales because of how unfriendly the Welsh can be - is Aberystwyth same/better/worse?

brilliant idea, thank you - I shall pass this to her to do

My daughter is looking for some experience working with animals, either farm or veterinary, preferably larger animals, maybe help with lambing, milking etc that sort of thing Have asked around the folks we know but we don't know any farmers or where to start really, any thoughts?

Researching social history of Sharrow and keep coming across bdg type 1 and bdg type 2, no one I have talked to seems to know what they mean Fwiw we are talking post war

Have some quite a lot of posh petite ladies designer stuff (size 6 / 8 ) I need to sell - who would be interested in that ?

just on google maps trying to suggest how my wife gets home from work - all alternate routes look pretty much grid locked (again!), good luck if you are using Woodseats or Twentywell Lane Its crazy they dont need to close the road like they have

it was (still is?) properly closed at the bottom roundabout (nr Hutcliffe Wood Rd) but no idea why Last night folks were driving round the road closed sign because it made no sense

anyone had trouble moving around SW Sheffield today? If you have, its because some bright spark closed Bocking lane about 10 hours ago, its been utter chaos all day, still burgundy every which way in google maps - missus took nearly 3 hours to get home from work . . . no signs no diversions ! and no need !! because there is room to get past the little hole in the road what the !!!

I used to get plug plants from Richard plants nr Chesterfield - great value but they have ceased trading Been to a couple of garden centres (you know the ones, they have more space for gifts and tea shop than veg) and the prices seemed a lot, eg £3 for 3 plugs, where I would have paid that for 12 at Richards. If I had known we would have started with seeds much earlier but its too late now Anyone point me at somewhere selling affordable plug veg please

Police chase apparently, went through Totley to Derbyshire. Possibly

Anyone know what is happening? Been circling for about an hour . . .

Knew someone who worked in a kitchen equipment store They reckoned there was an increase in customers cutting themselves when checking to see "how sharp the knives were" at Christmas . . .

Just idle curiosity really I wonder if Christmas is different in A&E - are there more accidents related to gifts than alcohol over the festive period? I am getting a Slackline for Christmas and hope not to end up n hospital, but guess there are other "dangerous" gifts

I will be happy to walk along the thing, good for core strength and balance apparently - and good for getting muddy I suspect Kit on its way for Christmas EDIT - kit just arrived, only ordered it yesterday! Hopefully wont be in A&E on Boxing Day . . .

thinking about getting a Slackline kit for myself for Christmas, it might be okay in the garden but I would love to go to the park with it There are many great trees in the parks around us that would work really nicely - obviously I would use tree protectors but wonder if anyone has done this, or been challenged by doing so? What about out in Derbyshire? Underneath Stanage Edge would be an ace spot

Am looking for an EPQ (Extended Project Qualifiaction) tutor that knows how the programme works and what good looks like Its a lot of effort to study and if you dont get an A the Unis arent really that interested Alas, school has appointed a teacher who has never done EPQs before, and they seem pretty clueless

My work desktop needs some extra memory, its has 4 memory slots and 2 have 4GB DDR3 memory (ID- HMT451U6BFR8C-PB) Can I buy 2 more 4GB DDR3 with similar spec (eg 1600MHz) and stick them in the other slots? Or do things have to match? Need at least 16GB for video editing and this is much cheaper route than getting 4 x 8GB all new (£160+!)

Not quite photography but I wonder if anyone knows of any courses to help a beginner to develop their (documentary) film making skills It seems quite a tech heavy subject these days and I am struggling to know where to start Dont mind paying (or travelling a bit) but it would have to be weekends or evenings

My daughter is looking for a pair of pet rats We want to look at a few to get a sense of colours etc, it would be good to go to a rat show (but I cant find any actually happening) or a dealer / shop with some variety (but we cant find any) Anyone point me in the right direction please

Having a clearout and found what looks like a pretty much unused NetGem wireless keyboard - it would have been a peripheral for a very early smart TV set up, no idea what kit it might work with, sorry Rather than land fill it, happy to find it a new home

Bit of a long shot, but someone on here might have bumped in to this Over recent years more contracts have gone inside IR35 (on "payroll") so a self employed contractor has to use an approved umbrella to do their PAYE - even though they could do PAYE themselves easily enough (a different story / grumble) But what happens if a company puts an employee in to a role inside IR35? They are already PAYE Reason I ask is we are looking at taking on our first junior, we are all geared up to run our own PAYE but cant seem to get a straight answer - it could make a massive difference to us as a small business

to update, apparently this was not a one off. On that day a number of other identical thefts happened in (slightly) posh places. The police have been really proactive on this, which I didn't expect They reviewed quite a bit of city centre CCTV, the chap made sure to have anonymous clothing and mask. Nothing to see, this chap knew what they were doing The shops in Sheffield where the phones might be sold have also been great, but nothing came of that. Suspect the stolen phones have gone overseas
