Fab tomato sausages at Pat O Brien - Banner Cross. Great butcher all round. -
Holocaust film too shocking to show.
Eli the Cat replied to Daven's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
,,,,and from the holocaust the words NEVER AGAIN were used! Unfortunately it has happened time and time again. This film like the OP says is graphic and very upsetting. However, I feel that people should try and watch this because only then do we know what kind of things happened, but whilst we sob and can turn it off if we don't like it - these people ENDURED because there was no choice and even when we see we will never ever imagine a fraction of the 'evil' they lived, breathed ate and slept. I watch and read about these histories because I feel I owe it to them to witness so we can go on in our lives trying to live in peace. Their lives were not in vain.

A great example of how fantastic the forum site is. My elderly neighbour had a blocked toilet/drain and after looking on the forum for others who'd had a similar problem and who they'd recommended, we soon came across ROCKY1. He didn't disappoint - true to form he replied soon after message sent and provided a great service. Highly recommended. So a huge thank you to the forum, the people who use and report sensibly and to Rocky1.:):)

Loads of Police in town (train station) 25/11/15
Eli the Cat replied to Stoned's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Not only could it have been a senile old lady, but even a middle aged man singing along to his radio! Let's not stereotype then - it could have been a number of factors on both sides (pesestrians/motorists) -
Either another estate agent or another coffee house!!!!!!!

Cream cheese and marmite. Someone once put mint sauce on my vanilla ice cream at school and that turned out rather OK!

2014/2015 Snow & Winter Weather MegaThread
Eli the Cat replied to alternageek's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
It cannot be pleasant for those people who have had difficult/scary journeys. But some people are shouting out "where was the gritter - let's blame the council." A Heavy deluge of snow fell in a short time on a bank holiday in the evening when not as much traffic would be about to keep some of it at bay. Grit doesn't cure everything. They had been out gritting and had been throughout the night. Just because you didn't see one doesn't mean it didn't happen. At least half of the problems are caused by inexperienced snow drivers who cannot believe their car as got stuck, thus blocking the rest of the roads for others. You cannot beat Mother Nature and whilst some journeys were necessary yesterday and others got caught between rain and snow, we were warned the day before and half the world seems to have its head in front of a smart phone were there is a weather app. Snow fell, caused chaos but is moving away in less than 24 hours. Kids will love it at this time of year, so lets get our wellies on and show some community by clearing neighbours paths, and our own bit of side road - or build a snowman with the kids, - or stay inside eating, drinking and be merry. Take care. xx:| -
Although I wasn't there this time, I usually find way too many cup cake stalls at these markets, - as if that is all people like. I think it is good if there is a balance of different types of food and not too many of the 'same old'. Surely this is down to the person allocating the stalls. Whilst I like a cup cake occasionally, all that sugar and cream makes me feel 'sickly' just looking at it.:)

Flashmob Sheffield Station today (fri 11 oct 13)
Eli the Cat replied to Strix's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
It would have been much better if they were in time, and could actually here the music. Sloppy and looked unrehearsed. Don't like to see babies trussed up at the best of times let alone been jigged about in this way. If these are the sorts of groups you join when you've had children then I'd cut my Maternity leave short or get a life. This looks way to like Yummy Mummy culture. However, if they enjoyed themselves then whatever floats your boat. -
Where can I buy a lovely homemade pie?
Eli the Cat replied to billigoat's topic in Sheffield Foodies
I would just be honest and say" I am no chef" otherwise you may just get asked "what is in it and how did you cook it?" or even worse still that" this pie is gorgeous you must give me the recipe" and you'll be caught out. -

New Member wants Help tracing Hoyland family tree
Eli the Cat replied to cabrit's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I think his name would have been Irwin Hoyland and he died about 13 years ago. -
My Dad, Ron Levers, albeit not in the formation team; used to go around this time too.

Entire family now ill down to one boy's bad parenting
Eli the Cat replied to Bollie's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Is it possible that this child could be crying for some other psycholgical/sad situation in his life and as a result of crying has a sniffly running nose that your daughter is misinterpreting as flu, as every where you turn at the moment somebody has it? Especially in schools - you cannot avoid these bugs. I would have thought if a child looked so ill with flu in the class his parents would already have been contacted by the school. Might be more to it than meets the eye. Hope your flu soon dissipates. -
Christians having to go to school on EID
Eli the Cat replied to Gollygosh's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
...to the original post. If we had days off to suit religious days of worship, a vast proportion of children would be still at school as they have no religion. It is easy to call yourself a Christian when you want the days off from work/school. -
First of all, - impressed that you are thinking about Christmas now. What about tickets to a forthcoming show or concert. Sure she'll love it whatever you choose.

What's your earliest memory of starting school?
Eli the Cat replied to Wattsy's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
1974 - Mrs Skeehan was the teacher. My Mum was all worried that I would be a cry baby as I was clingy. Quite the opposite. Once the dinner money had been paid I told her she could leave. She was gobsmacked. I loved school. The little wooden draws for each of us with our own picture on. The silvery slippery sand-pit. Thick bright squidgy paints and marvel glue we all put on our hands so we could pick it off. Sitting next to Duncan who I insited on calling Doncan. Singing songs, story-time. Spelling and reading with ITA. I wish I could go back. Happy times.:):) -
How often do you test your smoke alarms?
Eli the Cat replied to SY Fire's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Firstly, excellent thread SY. test roughly monthly. You fitted mine a couple of years ago but I had to have you back because one was faulty and went off all night and wouldn't shut up when there was no fire. It makes me nervous when those little pesky flies are aroun as they can set them off. Question. Will SY replace at the end of the 10 years and will they bleep once in a blue moon to let me know they want replacing? - not just start bleeping as these kind you cannot shut up when they start. I had an auntie who died tragically in a house fire and have a terrible phobia to fire and fire alarms, - wouldn't be without them but I have major panic attack when in an environment when they go off even when little spiders set them off. Any programme where there is the remotest possibility someone is going to be burned the TV is turned over, as for 'London's Burning' couldn't even imagine watching it. -
Does anyone go in a butchers anymore?
Eli the Cat replied to Mrs Overall's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Us the local butchers and supermarket. I think a lot of people don't know cuts of meat. In fact a lot of people don't know what animal some meat comes from.
