The Best Pubs In Sheffield?
Magneteer replied to SheffieldForum's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
No longer the case these days. We played a gig there on new years day and I can say that it was the friendliest, cleanest, warmest place I've ever been in. I just wish it was my local, I'd never be out of there. -

The Best Pubs In Sheffield?
Magneteer replied to SheffieldForum's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Agree about the Red Deer, a good pub selling decent ale. I like the Grapes on Trippet Lane too. -

It's incredible the amount of hits he wrote before his death at a very young age of 22. -
I think obesity is the new smoking. It is a ticking time bomb due to go off in the next 10-20 years, along with the associated type 2 diabetes issues and will cause massive problems for the NHS. A lot of teens/20's are hideously overweight, I suppose due to diet and lack of physical activity. No one seems willing to walk anywhere more than neccessary and most folk where I work think nothing of taking the lift in a two storey building, after they've parked as close to it as possible.

Seems he was a very highly rated drummer in the Jazz world and was resident drummer at Ronnie Scott's for several years.

Some years ago, on a visit to Leeds for work I was taken for a lunchtime pint of Tetley's. On the food menu was warm pork pie with peas and gravy, which seemed very popular.

Enver's Turkish Restaurant - Hillsborough, S6
Magneteer replied to FIRETHORN1's topic in Going out in Sheffield
Well, first one was called the Pangolin I think. We had pints of something we didn't recognise but thought we'd be adventurous etc.....so, you know when you've been hiking and then a month later you realise that your flask is still in your rucksack....unemptied. So you get the flask and tip the contents down the sink. Well thats exactly what this beer looked like, but worse was to come because that's exactly what it tasted like too!! So we left most of it and put it all down to experience....Ha Ha. Next we wandered down to one called Northern Monkey I think. The beer was ok but the walls were plastered with TV's playing Emmerdale with no volume. Strange thing was most of the customers were glued to it. Not for me, but each to their own. -
Enver's Turkish Restaurant - Hillsborough, S6
Magneteer replied to FIRETHORN1's topic in Going out in Sheffield
I agree with your cousin, as we went there about a year ago after trying a couple of those awful micropubs in Hillsborough. It was very good ie. atmosphere, food, service etc and good value for money. -
Hallam was great back in the 70's and 80's but awful now and has been for some years. A mixture of adverts, mindless childish drivel and samey autotune music that soundslike someone building a shed.

The Decline In Pubs On London Road
Magneteer replied to GoldenAleLad's topic in Going out in Sheffield
It wasn't really the breweries, as many seem to think. It's the Pubco's such as Enterprise, Punch Taverns,etc who have owned most pubs for the past 20 odd years who have done the most damage. They are basically estate agents with the remit of screwing as much cash as possible from their tennants and customers and tend to make life difficult and expensive for their tennants soon after they've taken over a pub. ie they raise rents and beer prices at will, dictate what food can be served etc. The breweries these days simply make booze and sell it to whoever wants to buy it, ie supermarkets and pubco's. We genuine beer lovers who long for a pint of old style Tetley's, Wards or Stones etc now have to settle for some overpriced Smoothflow or Lager, served just above freezing point in some chart music infested hell-hole. I also think that many people who run pubs these days are very much like many dog owners in that they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near one! Sorry for the extended moan..... I'm just off for a walk to calm down and will call at the Nag's Head in Loxley to quaff a few pints of Bradfields quality ales. -
When we bought a newer static caravan, we were told that our old one would have to be scrapped at a cost of £350. That was a few years ago. So, instead I put it on Ebay starting at £1. I would have been happy getting a tenner for it. It went for £450 to a couple in Barnsley who needed some temporary accomodation while they did up an old house. I've also got a number for a Polish chap who buys old caravans that are still in decent nick and sends them to Poland.

Is There An Invasion Going On?

They did seem to sound much louder than normal, more like flying tractors. Combined with the church bell clanging away for ages , a Sunday lie-in was out of the question. -
Whats Happening In Guardian Land Today
Magneteer replied to melthebell's topic in General Discussions
On the other hand we have worked in the posh parts of our City and been refused both tea mashing and toilet use so take your pick Hmmm .........Totley, Dore Fulwood etc It's where all the middle class, middle aged, Guardian reading, folk singing, champagne socialists live. Drive around any of those places at election time and you'll see loads of Vote Labour posters in the windows. -
The Stones stuff they serve up these days is a poor imitation of the real thing from back in the day, The best Stones that I ever sampled back in the seventies, was in the Rose House at Walkley, it was like nectar. Same with the Wards beer you sometimes see, nothing like the original. I do agree about the craft beers though. One I tried in Hilsborough looked like cold tea once it settled and tasted like it too ...ugh £5 a pint. I think the beardies only drink it to be part of that scene.

When Did The City Centre Lose Its Soul?

Reasonable Costs For Journey To Wetherby?
Magneteer replied to SCM1's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I was being generous. I will cover it easily true, but that's how much I'd put in the tank before leaving. -
Reasonable Costs For Journey To Wetherby?

£30 should cover the cost of the petrol
