  1. I enjoyed looking at the photos, thanks for posting them. What’s that saying, how times have changed.
  2. https://aircrashsites.co.uk/air-crash-sites-5/usaaf-b-17-42-31322-mi-amigo-endcliffe-park-sheffield-2/ I have problems posting links and photos. No I wasn’t there, where you?
  3. Prince Harry wants to hire the Metropolitan Police when he comes to visit the UK. Government says no he can’t hire the Met police even though Harry has offered to pay, so Harry is taking the Government to court. It makes a change from taking the newspapers to court. In my opinion he has given up being a royal so he needs to bring his own security with him if he decides to go ahead with his visit or hire security in the UK
  4. Night Hunter on Netflix Henry Cavill and Ben Kingsley star in this film. Cavill is a detective hunting a serial killer. Kingsley, who was once a Judge, is a vigilante who hunts paedophiles then castrates them when he catches them. 9/10
  5. Well I’m not going to argue with that. I agree with you.
  6. Cromwell didn’t last for long Presley, they soon decided the monarchy, with reduced powers, was a better option than a republican country.
  7. I also think William has made a good choice marrying Kate. She was a commoner before they married, but a classy one. Also it can’t be good when members of the Royal Family marry relatives, to many genetic problems.
  8. The Ice Road It’s what you expect when Liam Neeson stars in a film, action packed. For me a bit to much action but it wasn’t bad. I do like to hear his voice tho. 7/10
  9. I watched this film after looking at your rating and I also enjoyed it.
  10. Binge watched The Tourist and I agree with Rocker it’s well worth watching. Although I was disappointed how it ended. It would be nice if they made a second season for more closure.
  11. Thanks for the video. He looked upset when he was talking about his father. I’m sure they will repeat some of his films. Hopefully Lillies Of The Field will be one of them. I also agree with Cressida a likeable person.
  12. I second what janie48 has said. He was a great actor and Guess whose Coming To Dinner was a brilliant film. I watched a film last year which he was in with Lulu, To Sir With Love, I enjoyed that to. RIP
  13. I’ve signed the petition to try and block Blair’s Knighthood, but I agree with Baron99 it won’t make any difference. The only way he won’t be knighted is if he refuses to except it and I can’t see him doing that.
  14. Dana Winner Leona Lewis Paloma Faith Matt Monro All on YouTube I just started to listen to Monro during the first covid lock down and he’s got a nice voice, for me he’s a better singer than Frank Sinatra.
  15. I use to go to Beres pork shop on Halifax Road once a week for a pork sandwich, without apple sauce and crunchy bits, but always dipped for my mum, she loved them. I’ve haven’t bought a pork pie for ages. The next time I go to Sheffield I’ll have to try one from Beres after Firethorn’s mouth watering recommendation.
  16. Beatrice and Eugenie both do charitable work, I don’t think they have to. Admittedly not as much as other royals who receive money from the Sovereign Grant. The charities they support will be grateful adding their names as royal patrons and making public appearances to support them. Are they really doing any harm. As already been said they can’t help being members of the royal family.
  17. Thank you for pointing that out. I need a bigger iPad.
  18. I can’t remember the winter of 1963. The only thing I have noticed what’s changed over the years is the bright orange gritter lorries what’s dispatched by the council when it snows.
  19. Weatherspoons up here in the Northeast are the same. They don’t seem to be as busy as they use to be. I’m sure people are staying away because of covid. The Five Swans in Newcastle use to be full of students, you were lucky to find a seat, that’s not the case at the moment. Also Wetherspoons Electrical Wizard in Morpeth is exactly the same, at lunch time you were lucky to walk in and find a table but there are empty tables at busy times. It’s the same with The Quayside pub another popular one and my favourite, it’s not busy. They have a few meal deals on at the moment up here to try and attract customers. I’m hoping 2022 will be a kinder year for the hospitality trade. They deserve it.
  20. Enjoyed reading this. I also think it’s the best story I’ve read this year. Hope you didn’t cause any damage to the other car. I’ve had to leave my car a few times on Fox Hill Road when the snow was bad. Then walk the rest of the way home to Grenoside. I’m pleased I don’t live there now, but in fairness we don’t get that much snow. Good job we don’t the country comes to a stand still when we do.
  21. To lose a bit more weight I put on during the covid lockdowns. Nearly there, but not a good time to lose weight at the moment. Once into the new year I’m determined to lose the weigh gain.
  22. This joke is from Syrup’s Joke thread. One of the reasons Doctors are paid more. Seriously tho do doctors ever stop training? Medicines seems to change quickly. I’m sure surgeons over the past 30 years have also seen changes in how operations are performed. I would imagine Doctors and surgeons have to keep up with new techniques throughout their careers. Joke A Vauxhall mechanic was servicing the cylinder head from the engine of a Astra when he spotted a well known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?" The cardiologist a bit surprised walked over to where the mechanic was working on the Astra... The Mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out repaired or replaced anything damaged, and then put every thing back in, and when I finished, it worked just like brand new. So how is it I make £28,000 a year and you make £500.000 when you and I are basically doing the same work? The cardiologist paused, leaned over, and then whispered to the mechanic.... "Try doing it with the engine running.
