randolf   10 #1 Posted December 19, 2017 No, I'm not looking for tips on how to spice up my love life.  The missus and I were woken (in Heeley) by the sound of a faraway-sounding explosion this morning.  Any ideas what it was?

Baron99 Â Â 794 #3 Posted December 19, 2017 Heard it over in Nether Edge. Sounded like a large firework going off. Very distant sound, so not too local. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
SYorksDeano   10 #4 Posted December 19, 2017 I think the noise was my ex finally realising the world doesn't revolve around her.  Actually I think it was to do with a police raid in Meersbrook that's been reported somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Fougasse   10 #9 Posted December 19, 2017 There are a number of reports of ongoing anti-terrorist raids atm. One in Shirebrook Road, Meersbrook and another (connected apparently) in Chesterfield.  The Star is calling the noise a 'bomb' but one different mention is that the noise was the door entry method used.

Lisspot   10 #11 Posted December 19, 2017 Not surprised you don’t know who you’re living next door to, it’s always made out that they knew it was going on and was investigating them and ready to arrest which is bull cause if they were under investigation it wouldn’t happen in first place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Eccy Beach   11 #12 Posted December 19, 2017 Not surprised you don’t know who you’re living next door to, it’s always made out that they knew it was going on and was investigating them and ready to arrest which is bull cause if they were under investigation it wouldn’t happen in first place  Being under investigation doesn't mean they're subject to round the clock surveillance, so how would being under investigation mean it couldn't happen?  After Manchester and London we saw the numbers the police and security services are trying to monitor - a thankless task.
