This has quite a lot of info...

They're not an Internet forum.

Is there a link where I can apply for 3 minutes of my life back after reading this thread.

Yeah can still hear in Greystones at 8.04am.

I was sort of half asleep when I put my first post up, but I'd swear that it's been edited by someone else since...

I'm laid in bed in Greystones and can hear music blasting away.... is there a rave or something going off nearby?

I know some people who genuinely believed they did great curries...

I can only imagine they were half-cut, have dodgy taste buds...or have never been to anywhere decent in their life. 

Each to their own I suppose...

Have you tried Bambukat, just over the road from Balti King? Sells its wares as "Indian Street food" rather than the standard menu list of korma, madras etc but have had some delicious curries from there.

Yeah I tried it. Thought it was OK. Tbf it was about 4 years ago and maybe we should give it another go. I seem to remember having a thali plate which wasn't as good as Hungry Buddha in the new market.

If he ever did then maybe it was in the early/mid 70s when Hallam Towers was the hotel for visiting superstars (e.g. Bowie). 

Was Balti Ming even around then?

Hmm, I'm a Madness fan from way back, however I hate Nightclubs.

 

 

The Embo is hardly what I'd call a nightclub...

Bannan doesn't have to pull anything it's natural.

To be honest looks like Bazza just can't push that big poo out. 

Broomhill could do with a decent curry house although to be fair they aren't many decent places in Sheffield anymore. Would be nice to have a few quality ales in Itchy Pig and then stroll across the road for a top notch curry...

At the minute our go to place is Cafe Indus on London Road. 

Apparently Cutlers up near Gleadless Town End is closing too... 

Did post number 2 asking for cool spa recommendations dissappear? 

The Spar on Eccy Road has a nice freezer, definitely cool in there pal and choc ice opportunities a plenty. 

Good to see a group taking Fagans on, let's hope they  can preserve the character and ambiance of this truly wonderful boozer.

thanks , this is helpful 👍, just  a quick query, where is New era square? that is looking like the best bet, is it a take away or restaurant?

It's between Bramall Lane and Boston Street. It's more of a takeaway but they do have a sort of breakfast bar with chairs against the windows. A nice spot but not a 1st date type place or owt like that.  Think you'd pick up your food from the counter rather than table service. 

I've had 3 takeaways from there... all spot on. 

A lot of restaurants will be closed on Monday, vegan or not.  Also depends if you want lunch or dinner. 

Although you could try Hungry Buddha in the market, they do a Nepalese vegan thali for about £7 which is excellent value, though not strictly speaking a restaurant... they also do meat dishes. Only open from about 11 till 2 ish.

There's Wawin in New Era Square which does vegan Chinese food. Open from 4pm

Middle Eastern Shawarma on London Road do a falafel plate/wrap alongside houmous and fries etc.  Great value and very tasty.  They also serve meat.  Open from about 11am till 9pm ish I think. 

For a takeaway,  Fanoush also on London Rd do vegan falafel wraps which are tremendous. Open from about 11am. Some of the stuff is vegetarian,  ie haloumi cheese.

if they really want to come to england ,instead of fancy hotels and spending money,as them to work at a normal wage until there status is sorted,if not train for other skills ect,if this cant be done with them all as in young mums ,so be it ,but most seem young fit men,also our job centres need to find jobs suitable for people and if not retrain them,we cannot keep paying out for people to stop at home can we.but to ask pensioners to work is fine if they wish to but i cannot see many doing it .plus if not anyone got any ideas about getting labourers for farms ect,plus shop workers as general work.its no good ploughing food into the ground,its madness,possibly use a few hundred low grade prisoners,as in low crime,short sentences and they could possibly get work from it when they get out

Would love to know where all these farm labourers will be accommodated whilst working in the fields. Maybe people could up their entire families from the family home and local schools etc. and go live in a caravan for a few weeks and just travel round where workers are required?  

Perhaps for low grade prisoners we could get them to organise their own logistical operations and get themselves safely to  work for 5am and then back to their cells for 9pm... no problems at all I'm sure of that... Rural, regular, dependable public transport will be very helpful with regards this. Maybe even pack themselves up with snap for lunch and self appoint team leaders to coordinate everything.

Nope, 99% of the tat will be manufactured in Chinese sweat shops and most of it will end up in landfill.

Yes it is awkward.

Not all times are available/sold out  and you will get the invalid code message.

I used this link.

Select date, time, both out and return journey.

Once you get the green box underneath  the train ties to come up it seems to work better.

Don't put anything in the railcard boxes.

 

Tried the new link 3 times.... invalid code message every time...

I tried to EMR several times, kept saying code is invalid.... and that was from the second email where the code had been amended. 

What beers do they have on atm? Not been in for a while.
