  1. Many thanks for the bulbs. just need a few 60 watt ones now, anyone?
  2. need some old style incandescent light bulbs. 60w & 100w standard bayonet fitting. I do not want LED or Halogen capsule or low life bulbs. If you know of somewhere that definitely has these still in stock. Let me know ASAP please. Thank you.
  3. my mobile phone is gobbling data. my sim only contract has 2 giggly bites of data which has always been more than enough to check facebook every day if I wish to. in recent months the data usage warning has been popping up earlier and earlier and this month after only a week. I have done a virus scan on avast and it showed no threats. the data appears to be mostly used on facebook. I have been getting ads running in the middle of facebook videos. I have tried removing apps like trip advisor which I dont use. peel remote and something else have been driving me mad with lots of ads popping up so I tried removing that and got a warning about losing data so I didnt do it. any help appreciated.
  4. What was expected to be an hour and half of bowling turned into three hours because of faulty equipment and lanes out of action. what should have been a pleasurable afternoon was a bloody nightmare and made me late for an appointment. Hope the can get things sorted.
  5. carper gripper glued on inside at top of side door.
  6. so is the bus lane and cameras. ---------- Post added 23-05-2018 at 14:56 ---------- regular blackspot this.
  7. I worked at Ventura in Wath. Dress down day was arranged on a Friday. Participants were encouraged to contribute £1 which went to that month's charitable cause. Dress down day is a way of showing that everyone is human underneath the company garb. it is a bit like working in a bank with suits and ties everyday then being shocked at seeing a colleague on his day off appear on the other side of the counter dressed as a punk!
  8. the police are too busy watching football matches and ignoring hired thugs bullying tree protesters. SYP is in the top ten most useless in the UK. with no suspects for 58% of crimes they bother to investigate. instead of our council tax being bumped up on their behalf, they should be taking a 58% pay cut.
  9. getting rid of the bus gate would improve traffic flow immensely. people are sick of being forced down dodgy side streets just to get to the other side of the wicker arches to where they are going.
  10. Sheffield Tree Action Groups on facebook is a good place to follow what is happening to Sheffield's trees. Prepare to be shocked, I kid you not.
  11. there used to be a stamp shop in centre of chesterfield who also ran stamp auctions. ebay has thousands of stamp listings.
  12. Have not been to peacock for around five years. before this we used to be regular eaters there. last time we went we got stuck at a cramped table between the door and the toilets. my wife's lasagne was undercooked then came back barely edible. I cannot remember what I had but I did not enjoy it. the galling thing was our seating, there were lots of better tables reserved that were still unoccupied an hour and half later when we left. a few years ago you did not reserve tables and the place was packed and the food excellent. not sure what has gone wrong here. we went to crown and cushion yesterday, everyone enjoyed their food which was well presented and huge. I felt £18.95 for a mixed grill was too much, particularly as I take a good part home for the dog, so I opted for a prawn cocktail and the gammon. not sure about the cocktail arriving in a storage jar with a lid but it was very good, another piece a butter for the tasty bread rolls would not have gone amiss. the gammon was fine but the leaf garnishing was all one leaf type with a dressing I did not like. the chips were dry and overcooked as if they were last night's leftovers reheated. the pineapple was battered and deep fried which I removed to find a disappointingly thin sliver of a pineapple ring. I avoid caribbean restaurants because I don't like deep fried fruit. still, a popular place but needs a much bigger car park.
  13. definitely time travellers, judging by the first date in your link ...31st Jan 2018 !
  14. I always find it offensive when people move into a house with a tree outside then want it chopped down. The council are trying to chop down the 80+ year old tree outside my house. i don't like the houses across from my house or some of the people in them, they were here when I arrived but the council wont chop them down. There are thousands of homeless families who would give their right arm to live here, tree or no tree. why don't these people just move to a treeless area? ---------- Post added 09-12-2017 at 17:14 ---------- Council tax is paid to maintain the trees and the pavements but has not been used for this purpose for decades. now they have the PFI contract, they are resurfacing roads and pavements but are chopping perfectly harmless and healthy trees to avoid future maintenance costs which, incidently, have already been paid for as part of the contract. Also, paid for is the cost of engineering solutions that, if implemented, would make the pavements safe and help retain the trees. doing what the council and its contractors are doing is known as fraud in most circles.
  15. I knew this would happen when a female dr who was announced ...straight to the hairdressers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. write to streets ahead detailing date, time, place and what happened. you will get a call within 48 hours - I did! as opposed to waiting several months. Contact a lawyer for an informal discussion on making a claim. Same thing happened to me - lumps of loose tarmac hidden in the dark. I did not sue. I met a lady who had fell in the same works. she had a nasty gash on her hand, bruising on her arm and a black eye. She should have sued. In the meantime, look on facebook for the following groups. Sheffield Trees Action Group (STAG) Sheffield Residents Holding Amey To Account. Our kerbs were done months ago, still no sign of the tarmacing taking place. Let us know how you get on.
  17. new parking restrictions in Beighton. anyone know what is happening with these?
  18. idea opening? lol at least the tram is not plastered in untidy adverts for once.
  19. drivers having to pay up to £3.10 for a pint of 'cola' in some pubs does not help. I drive but I play snooker, pool, poker and also work in pubs, so having alcohol is a no-no. pretty galling when the soft drinks cost more than the booze.
  20. your exercise class on mondays 1pm - 3pm is great for us over 50's chaps looking for an easy workout. tea and biccies afterwards is the perfect wind down. come on guys - what you waiting for????????????
  21. The money is from a £2.1bn Private Finance Initiative. The sort of finance that is strangling the NHS !
  22. Every morning around 7pm? The council spends £200,000 per annum just clearing up in this area. This area has a very large population of Roma gypsies. Most gypsies, or 'travellers' as they prefer to be known, leave huge amounts of rubbish and destruction in their wake. Leaving the council with a one off cost of clearing up after them, which, as a council down south discovered, could be as high as £10 million. These lot are staying, so the council i.e. YOU, will be paying for the clear up forevermore. ENJOY!
