I get real satisfaction from telling them to do something which I believe is physically impossible !

They could have given them a unique number without the, imo, silly personalisation.

Ooooh must be one millimetre at Crookes!!!

Consequences Of Brexit [Part 8] Read First Post Before Posting
kaytie replied to mort's topic in General Discussions
I bought two AndrΓ© Rieu CDs with the glorious Ode To Joy (what an anthem .. puts UK dismal dirge to shame) and am planning to blast it out and sing (!) along at the hour of doom. As to those 50p, I will refuse to accept them and insist upon alternative coins. -

I'm afraid my initial thought is "Snowflake overreaction". -
Toilet Flush Handle Extortionate Price Charged. ?

Always best to ask for an estimate first. You can always flush the thing by tipping buckets of water down it. -

Best news I've heard today. -
As a lifelong republican I can only hope! Parasites in my opinion, married by wannabe social climbers.

I get loads of these type of things. Been a break over Christmas but kicked off again today with the old chestnut of we're going to terminate your internet connection within 24 hours! Recorded message these days rather than a live caller .... must be fed up of my telling them to F##k off!

South Of Sheffield Traffic Madness
kaytie replied to bassett one's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
In response...ti your sarcastic comment: 1. As a kid I wasn't allowed a bike so can't ride one 2. Attend the gym for weight training and SWIMMING and that's the nearest one with a pool 3 . There's a little thing called freedom of choice Have a nice day! -
South Of Sheffield Traffic Madness
kaytie replied to bassett one's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I use both my car and public transport as appropriate. If going just to the city centre I take a bus. However, where imo public transport is poor in Sheffield and car travel the only sensible alternative is travelling from one suburb to another. E.g. a trip from my home at Crookes to the gym on Ecclesall Road by car takes around ten minutes, but a bus journey of an hour due to the fact everything goes in and out of the city centre where a change is required. What's needed are more circular bus routes before car usage is penalised. -
Sheffield Christmas Markets. So Disappointing!
kaytie replied to Reesh2052's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Wandered down the market on Fargate several times but not been tempted to purchase. Last year bought a couple of snoods, but saw nothing this year that I couldn't have bought cheaper elsewhere. -
Looking for a roast beef Sunday dinner ...early evening, in city centre.

David Duckenfield Found Not Guilty

Well said. Time this whole sorry business was laid to rest. Nothing is going to bring back the deceased and its well overdue for the witch hunt to end. -
About a week sgo when I ordered a taxi for just me ... no luggage... what was virtually a mini bus turned up! π

I've had it/got it! Recommend lots of red wine! May not cure the bug, but after a few glasses you don't care! π

Should The Public Take Back Control Of Buses In Our Region?
kaytie replied to Bilge's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I worked for SYPTE back when they ran the buses and they provided a first rate service. Back then Sheffield got many state of the art new vehicles as SYPTE worked in conjunction with manufacturers, the hilly terrain providing an excellent testbed for new engines, gearboxes etc . My job (telecoms) took me into all corners of the organisation . With regard the "why should I pay for what I don't use" argument, I have no kids, but I have to pay for schools through taxation .......this is life!
