Garden birds. dissappearing!
Davekowl replied to pitsmoorboy's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
For the last few years due to keeping them well fed and watered we've had plenty of birds in our garden but this summer for some reason the numbers have dropped . I live on Skye Edge, which is well known for its birds but this year has been very disappointing . -
Should Rio Ferdinand be charged with racism?
Davekowl replied to Sir Enoch's topic in General Discussions
What amazes me is that these footballers make this kind of comment when they have just seen what trouble can be caused by such statements . Are they really thick or is it done to keep them in the headlines ? -
Wasn't that Jack Witham

TPS on your phone line will block any calls made in Britain but will not block calls made from abroad. So just leaving them hanging on seems a good option.

North Korea, over the top/hilarious ?
Davekowl replied to 0114owl1867's topic in General Discussions
Thats the worrying thing. Nuclear weapons and a population thats capable of being whipped into a frenzie on order is not a good mix. -
Only been going in the Windsor for about the last 25 years, so I've no memories of it before that but in that time I've built up a great many of them. Its sad to see the place go under but it's been on the cards for a few years now. At one time if you were'nt in the concert room for 7.30 on a Sunday night you had no chance of a seat. But times change and now there is only a handful of customers left. It's had a bad reputation but I've always found the people who use it to be the salt of the earth. Its going to be a big loss.

What is Crystal Peaks missing..
Davekowl replied to Speed Demon's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
It's missing a decent market place. The old one was spot on with plenty of stalls and a good atmosphere but the new one is lacking in both the number of stalls and variety. Put it back to how it was !!!! -
I registered with the TPS about 18 months ago and the calls dwindled to a virtual stop but just lately they seem to be on the increase again. Tried to re register with the TPS but it wouldn't let me and just told me my number was already registered so it seems that it only works for a while. Just have to get downright nasty with the callers again

Forge Valley School: Uniform problems
Davekowl replied to Steve70's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Looking at the photo of the two lads sent home for wearing the wrong shoes I would find that the state of their hair would be a bigger issue with me !!!! -
POLL: Who still believes in 911 the offical line?
Davekowl replied to Joe9T's topic in General Discussions
The conspiracy theorists have been reading too many novels and watching too many films. They will trot out an alternative theory for anything that happens that suits their vivid imaginations. -
Short break near Sheffield- perhaps Ilkley?
Davekowl replied to loonyloo's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I'd recommend Matlock or Matlock Bath. Lovely area and all the pubs and eateries you could want. -
Who Was The First Pop Star You Saw Live?
Davekowl replied to old tup's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Saw Emile Ford at the Montgomery Hall on Surry Street in the early 60s.Used to think he was brill.Long time ago now !!! -
The pub was called "The Plumpers" .I worked in the ICS department on the top floor of the main building and used the pub at dinner times (as did 3/4s of the firm)

Going to Kefalos in Kos on Thursday and its that laid back there I'd be surprised if they know that there are any problems.

Freeview Tuning/ Digital switchover megathread
Davekowl replied to busybody's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
No problems yesterday in S2 but suggest you check the switchover dates for your area. In the booklet they sent it says Sheffield switches over on 10th and 24th August but on the postcode checker on digitaluk.co.uk I find that we use the Emily Moor transmitter and our dates are 7th and 21st . Worth a look !!! -
Had a look round yesterday and was impressed . Got just about all that Handsworth has but on smaller scale. Even got a section that does fresh cooked chickens and pies etc.

Anyway, who gets the money that people are fined. Wish it was me cos whoever it is will make a bloody(oops) fortune......

Sad that the Rag Parade and the boat race are no more. My dad took me to see them both and it seemed a typical Sheffield thing. The parade was great fun to watch and though not many finished the boat race it was great to see the weird boats and even weirder students manning them. Happy times , long gone !!!!!

Bad idea !!! Nobody likes MOT time but its a neccesary evil. It's the only time most cars get a serious look at and to lengthen the time to two years would mean some dodgey motors on the roads as well as the dodgey drivers we already have.
