I don't know it too well, but I remember on one occasion stopping at a John or Samuel Smith's pub near there in 1976/77. Around 20 hairy arsed building "students" stopped there for a pre-arranged breakfast at 0900hr's and the pumps were open  ;D  Two hours later we emerged pissed  ;D  ;D and laughed/messed  our way through the rest of the day at the pipeworks. I can't remember if it was that occasion or the drunken trip to the newly opened NEC that resulted in the Building College banning all outside excursions  redface:

I don't know what are you like eh. noooo: I am sure that you are much more mature now. whistle:

I am having an hour off. surrender:

Mr C has an his old record player wired up and on occasions he plays his LP's on it it seems to make him a very happy bunny and stops him fiddling with other things.

I sold my record player so I have to fiddle with other things....  whistle:

Still have my LPs tho...  cloud9:

I have a do-da that transfers me vinyl LP's to CDs 

Best of all worlds cloud9:

I still have me LP's, a Technics deck, and have transferred the LP's that I couldn't get in CD format into music files using some program or other

And as for do-da's, I learnt t'other day from the Shefield forum that people from Barnsley are called dee-dars

How useful...  ::)

Don't be silly. Why would that happen? They have all those pensionless clerical staff to keep in work.

Been to Limassol to collect a parcel from the post office...

As it arrived from outside the EU (the USA in fact) I had to go through the pointless process of opening the package, explaining to three people what it was and then throwing myself on the mercy of the customs officer who makes a number up to cover the cost of duty + VAT.

Didn't do too badly today...

Cost of goods $70. Shipping $30. Duty and VAT (on goods AND shipping  evil:) €15.

 eeek: eeek: You go on the Sheffield Forum?  Have you been banned yet?  I have managed to be banned 5 times. cloud9: They don't like forthright speaking on there I can tell you and if you ask about a mods decision in public you are swiftly removed.  Bunch of tossers.  Still my last ban has now been lifted. angel1

Snoops I think you should have a hug as if you are seeing an Consultant Anaesthetist it would appear that you are going to have an op of some sort. happy100 happy100  When you get back you can come and wither lay in front of the fire or as a special treat get up on the sofa.

Yes ~ you are right .... I go into hosp on Sunday afternoon. Operation on Monday. Expect to be out again Wed/Thur but won't know until Tuesday morning about that.

Now that has been posted please do not start another "Where's Snoopy?" thread 'cos that will really piss me off even more than I am currently pissed off at having to have the operation.

The simple fact is that I cannot get on the www from the hospital. It is a 1960s "Industrial" building so full of steel work etc that getting a wifi signal is damn near impossible. Smart phones? It laughs at them but you can get a basic mobile signal if you creep into the day room on Ward 9 .... assuming it is not full of fat arsed nurses shouting at their husbands, partners, children via their mobile phones.  ::)
