    Surprised that there is no sort of 'Mechanic Megathread' on this forum (unless I've completely missed it!).

     

    Can anyone recommend a mechanic to fix an '02 Ford Fiesta? It requires a wishbone replacement and also some work on the rear suspension...and a new tyre...re-tracking...basically quite a bit of work.

     

    Someone who's reliable based in Sheffield, preferably around the city centre.

     

    Cheers!

    Exactly what it says on the tin:

     

    8 years experience

    Have Car

    Decent gear

    Been on National/European tours

    Previously endorsed by major companies

    Range of Influences, however looking for something heavy yet melodic

     

    Looking for a dedicated established band or a group of people looking to form something special

     

    No bedroom guitarists, time wasters, liars, unwarranted egos (a bit of ego is necessary) or people wanting to play it safe

     

    Look forward to hearing from anyone interested!

    Link exchanges are a poor way to increase SEO on a site. If I were you I would look at improving the quality of the coding on your own site and the SEO of your on page content before thinking that a link building program is the way forward. Because it just doesn't work like that anymore unless your link is included surrounded by relevent content to your site. e.g. you write an article about Tuning Fans for another site and include relevant links back to your site

     

    Your page took 2minutes to load fully for me due to some dead links to external sites. Without those dead links it was still a good 4-5 seconds. Fast page loading is now a part of SEO, with Google considering 'fast' around 1.5 seconds.

    I was talking to the promoter on Sun night. Its not a rumour, The Boardwalk is now extinct like the Norwegian Blue parrot The only concerts that can be staged are unplugged ones, as there's no PA system left in the building.

     

    According to someone who worked there (I think it should be past tense now) the owner had been looking at selling for a year, because they weren't exactly making any money.

     

    Their business plan was pretty terrible, charging £5 for unsigned band nights (with no guarantee of any talent) when Corporation and Plug could get you a signed band for the same price. Other than that it was just folk/blues or tribute bands...In a time when people aren't exactly flocking to see bands, you should at least try booking bands that people may want to see! I remember seeing Heaven's Basement there in 2008 and it having a good couple of hundred people...last time I played there was about 10 watching...

     

    To cut a long story short, the place went into liquidation at the end of November. I believe the 'refurb' is just an excuse, because it as only supposed to take two weeks according to the website at the beginning of December and has now extended long into 2011.

    I have to say we are now experiencing the kind of snow levels I saw in Canada last year. Although we don't expect this to go on for the same length of time I'd like to point out that residents are responsible for clearing the path around their home, which no one seems to bother with here.

     

    We should have a couple of snow ploughs though, even if to just go round the city centre

    This may seem like an odd question, but I'm looking for somewhere in the City Centre that is good at cutting long men's hair. Generally the standard men's barber's seem a bit freaked out, last one I went in said mine was the longest hair he had ever cut...and it was about 3 inches shorter than it is now! A lot of the salon's also seem to cut long hair in women's styles.

     

    So, I'm looking for somewhere that can do a decent cut/style on men's hair that is beyond shoulder length. Not too fussed about the price this time round as it will be a pre-graduation haircut (need to look smart apparently...) Somewhere that can fit in at short notice too!

     

    Ta in advance :)

    West Street live has gotten a lot better over the last couple of years, looking forward to playing there for once this Christmas..

     

    Other than that, the Boardwalk has a great sound, but is often empty, Corporation has a dire sound but is packed, and I've not been in Plug or the Leadmill in years

    As it's beta some sites will not support it. It only came out yesterday and isn't even finished, so don't expect banks to support it just yet. Security must be ironed out

     

    Having tested it with a bunch of other developers at work, we can see a few rendering problems that need to be ironed out and also some general quality problems. These will likely be fixed before the release.

    but try and find big name and new artists on there, I couldn't find ANYTHING I wanted to listen to on last.fm, plus you have to use a web browser, and it doesnt work on a mobile (I use spotify premium on iPhone)

     

    I love Last.fm and it DOES work on mobile. There is a Last.FM app for the iPhone that is FREE and works pretty damn well thank you very much. It also has as many decent artists as Spotify (my band is on both) and in my case, I can find a lot more I like on Last.fm. Only thing I don't like is the lack of full album streaming
