  1. If your wife was injured she can make a claim for injury under the Motor Insurers Beaureu Untraced Driver Scheme.
  2. I have a 32mb one if you want one. PM me if you still want one. Will check in tomorrow morning. Ta.
  3. Never been. Where is it? When you say rock pub are we talking decent rock, or are we talking darkness, busted, cheese crap rock?
  4. There is a lot more to the story than the papers will have you believe, trust me. Regardless, a real tragedy for anyone concerned. That said, the papers will inevitably come up with some story about how this thing is a shame "at this time of year". As if its not a shame when someone dies in May or some other non Christmas time of year!!!
  5. 96 hours total 36 at first, with Superintendents authority, then another 36, then another 24, with magistrates approval.
  6. Theyve pushed back the date on the Lloyds/Bankers to the 18th now. The sign on the door has changed.
  7. If you sell stuff like this knowing its nothing like what youre saying it is, its an offence under the Theft Act. Basically its either obtaining property by deception or obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception I would say. Either way, deception offence and police would be very interested. Actually, if it was what you thought it was (eg swish stereo) and you bought it cheap, then youre handling stolen goods. But if it wasnt what you thought it was, you wouldnt be handling stolen goods. The goods need to be stolen, and despite the fact that you thought you were comitting the offence, you wouldnt be.
  8. Sad fact of the day The smell of vomit is actually to do with the beer. It has been cooled too quickly or something like that (according to my mate the beer deliverer!! )
  9. Couldnt agree more. Its not the speed that is causing the accidents, its people overtaking when they shouldnt be. So many times Ive seen people overtake moving over the double white lines. I personally still dont think the cameras are switched on, although im happy to be proved wrong. Solution would have been to install barriers down the centre and stop the overtaking. Would IMO stop most of the accidents. Historically, Im sure most were caused by overtaking.
  10. Join the club. Those of us who chose to live slightly further out of sheffield have no chance of the tram ever coming here. Shame as I would use it too.
  11. I would just like to add a few things to this.... Congestion charges - totally unfair. My dad has to travel into the city centre on business (window cleaner) and needs his car. No one can argue that he doesnt need it, unless they want to get three sets of ladders on a bus. £5 congestion charge every day (as in London) equates to £25 per week, or £100 per month. Result, his prices will have to go up to cover costs. Same goes for deliveries to shops, so as a result, I guarantee that products you buy in town will cost more. Also, it will simply kill city centre shopping, which is dead enough anyway, and any revival wont happen. Meadowhall will become more popular, and the car parks there wont cope either. Whoever said leave cars at home, see the above. Also, if I were to leave my car outside the city and park and ride, my wife and I would have to pay £5 per day (£3 park and ride, £2 return fare for my wife). Again, £100 per month when I now park for free at Shalesmoor and walk in. I simply cant afford that extra cost. I dont have that much spare cash. The people who say dont bring cars into town either live close enough to walk, dont drive, or have money. Either way, think of others before suggesting things like that please. The new ring road will cause chaos for a number of years. Time to relocate to a better planned city I think!
  12. True, but that wouldnt be good newsworthy material would it. You never hear about the grades Thompson and Venables (James Bulger's killers) got at school, or the career highlights of Michael Ryan. It wouldnt sell papers really, or help the media portray killers as evil if they highlighted their good points. Notice how the press can manipulate even a simple photograph. Shipmans photo, always showing him looking calm and collected (probably a passport or ID photo) always had a caption about him being cold and calculating as a killer. Never a caption "this man is having his passport photo taken". Thats not to say killers arent total wastes of space. Im personally in favour of the death penalty for people like Shipman, but its amazing the effect the media has on how people understand these stories. PS Am not slagging anyone off or anything here. Last forum I posted something like this on, I got shouted down as a fascist, a supporter of killers, just about everything really
  13. Anywhere but Kwik Fit. My last two, and final ever, vists... 1. Had a hole in the front pipe of my exhaust. Kwik Fit told me the back box was dead and needed replacing despite being 6 months old. Took it to Ascar where it was made and fitted and they spotted and showed me the actual hole at the front within 5 minutes. Ascar are absolute stars with exhausts. Kwik Fit are not. 2. Took car after strange engine light came on and car started misfiring. Kwik Fit said "Definitely cylinder head gasket, about £500". Took it to mechanic friend of my dads, "needs new plugs and oil, £25". Took his advice and it runs fine, and has done for past 6 months since then!!! Im saying no more!!
  14. Its only the same as gambling, drinking or most other past times. Lets face it, men have about as much chance getting a lap dancers (real) phone number as they have of winning the lottery! The man knows he is basically there to get some enjoyment and paying for it, the woman taking advantage of the fact to make the money. Both agree to do it, theres no problem. At the end of the day, gambling, drinking, drugs, lap dancing, whatever, its all throwing your money away for enjoyment and if you cant enjoy yourself in life, whats the point.
  15. Believe me cases like this are a myth. Im a personal injury lawyer. They would never succeed. Its all something the papers hype up. The odd case slips through, then is corrected on appeal by the higher Courts. Same goes for the press favourite "criminal sent on holiday by courts". Media hype designed to cause a stir. Nothing else.
  16. I always thought Dronfield was in Chesterfield. No wonder I failed geography!
  17. We have quite a narrow road, with no off road parking. There has been a system for ages where people park on one side of the road, allowing all traffic to get past. There was never a problem and this never happened, till a year ago First decided to change the bus route to run down our road. That was a big mistake by First believe me. The two bus times often co-incide on our road, and its a nightmare - the verges look shocking and all visitors comment. They look like farmers fields after theyve been ploughed, seriously! As for complaining, believe me, I know First all too well. Im a lawyer and have sued them on many occasions. They are the least approachable company I know, and as the verge isnt strictly my property (just right outside it) they would ignore me completely. Time for some white painted rocks i think.
  18. Buses pull up onto the verge outside my house all the time and its so annoying! If you see the mess it looks in winter, its just irritating. I drive, but I actually have consideration for other people, so dont drive onto the grass outside their house. Im sure the people who are complaining probably either dont have verges outside their house, or just dont care whether their area looks a mess!
  19. Wont offer to be a witness as I wasnt there, but if you want help putting in a criminal injuries claim give me a shout...
  20. Nah. Didnt play refuse resist either
  21. was very good. sepultura were great, but missed out some of the songs i really wanted them to play
  22. thursday night sorry, but someone was always going to do it!
  23. Please can someone tell me the racist horse story! Sounds so funny! I know a cat who doesnt like americans. well maybe i dont but it sounded good
  24. Another little story for you... When I was a student, I was looking for house to rent for the next term. Saw a nice one, but the sign in the window said "Asian students only". Thats plain wrong. Racism works all ways if you ask me. Imagine the bricks through the window if you advertised a house for "white people only"..... Equality is a great idea, but it must be equal on all parts. I wont even say what i think of letting women in clubs free but not men!! Sexist! I think so!!
