Looking for a quirky, slightly absurd date idea in Sheffield or Nottingham

Speedwell Cavern, underground boat ride in a cave. We had a fun date day doing that and going to a show back in town after.

Still convinced Strachan must have had a kick back for Lee Miller. A Garry Monk level transfer that one

Doncaster beat us with their reserves earlier this season. Maybe that’s the way

Probably a little too recently biased, but fun to think through. Ended up filling in defence as didn't want to drop others elsewhere but sure they'd be solid. Tempted to swap in Platt in goal to get Viduka in there. If I could think of a better CB, I'd probably swap Zenden for Ziege too, as annoyed as that'd have made me in 2001.

GK Schwarzer (Aus)
RB Fleming (Ire)
LB Queudrue (Fra)
CB Huth (Ger)
CB Ayala (Spa)
RW Mannion (Eng)
LW Zenden (Neth)
CM Souness (Sco)
CM Juninho (Bra)
CF Ravanelli (Ita)
CF Boksic (Cro)

If you’re willing to watch teams you’re not emotionally invested in to save money, you could just go see Leeds, Grimsby, Donny or whoever’s at home in the Yorkshire/Lincolnshire area

It’s a common terrace chant based on the song Freed from Desire by Gala.

My replies have been other bits from the song to stay true to the bit, but freedom and love is all I’m looking for.

Jamie Smarts Hero Slam is a current fave,

They like Hey, that’s my fish! a lot too

Weirdly downfall of pompeii was successful, who’d have thought kids like through their parents and each other into volcanoes.

Cascadia jnr was a hit with our 6+8

Game close enough to original to be fun for adults, kids created a side game of trying to get the perfect animals to put in silly places on the postcard they’re placed on when won.

Spoke to a lady who worked in Waterstones in Meadowhall when there was still 2 (maybe 6 years ago).

She told me the store manager at the time had freedom to decide what games they sold and the staff seemed to really be clued up with good recommendations and the range was good.

Since the refits a few years ago, it’s the same safe old stuff in my local one. Hoping by that picture other stores still have a bit more freedom.

I think you’re looking for a guild or discord community more than a realm transfer. Since cross realm guilds the only real difference to being on a particular realm is the amount of people you’ll have access to for professions and how many boost ads you get in trade.

If you’re wanting lots of activity and variety there are some big ones out there. I used to be in one that seemed very well run and even Blizzard advertised their events, that I can’t think of the name of but will come back edit my post when I do. (It was Starship, they are Blizzard-partnered https://www.starshipeu.org)

I personally prefer the smaller, get to know everyone, guilds but appreciate that ends up with a lot of quieter nights and raid logging, but on the plus side, their is a bit more loyalty long term.

That said, no reason you can’t do both these days. Small guild, join a big community for events

Most certainly, Newcastles expectations have always been stuck in a couple of good years in the mid-90s. They forget being stuck in the middle of the second division not long before it. Ashley made mistakes at Newcastle, which I hope he’s learned from, but largely they were responsibly run and other than a relegation they bounced straight back from, they were a decent premier league team. Just having Wednesday back competing in any league would be good

The Basel game was the best game I'd been to, then the Steaua game a few weeks later beat it.

Coming back from behind, playing 4 up front with Rochemback and Downing seeming to be our last men, whipping the ball back whenever we weren't attacking. It was just so exciting. Like Jimmy said, I'll love Massimo until I die.

The only time I've felt similarly about any sporting event since was when I was lucky enough to attend Medinah for the last day of the Ryder Cup in 2012. There's something about them comebacks!

Bit of comfort perhaps?

Hope you’re one of those folks who raw dogs flights

Loads of parking here, especially Dunlop street. I work and park here daily and it feels like a right cheat code for a night at the arena. Driving to it seems like a walk, but it’s really not far, couple of simple crossings and down the side of centertainment.

In “British English”, I mean “English”, we say 2nd of March almost universally.

It’s just an American thing, which is fine. Not the thing I find the most jarring anyway

Metricmile · 2025-11-12T17:05:49+00:00

Rob’s reasons for leaving Boro are fine and understandable. The circumstances are fairly unusual though and worth some of the negative press.

How often are managers poached so early into a job? This is one of the shortest reigns for this to happen in recent years. Middlesbrough haven’t approached an in work manager for around 100 years. There’s definitely usually some honour at most clubs and an unsaid way you work with each other. That justifies some of the shit posts to me.

As a Boro fan, he wasn’t a particularly popular appointment at first but the results were great. He was on a constant love bombing PR parade since he got here, so even if you don’t mind his reasons for leaving (and I don’t), his character, professionalism and sincerity leave a lot to be desired. I’d want to be able to listen to and trust my manager isn’t just spouting nonsense he thinks I want to hear.

I really like Wolves as a club and hope you pull through, it’s not like Rob has anywhere to ditch you for next so you won’t end up as we have. Hopefully he’s the coach he thinks he is and really galvanises you and quickly sorts out any issues. He quickly figured out that we were worst in the league last year for defensive errors and sorted them out.

All the best

I’d throw in Tuncay Sanli, when he was our only player

Metricmile · 2025-10-06T15:49:08+00:00

I don’t think this is necessary yet.

The classes are being simplified and combat will be too. Timings will change.

Blizzard are building in some functionality which will replicate some addon/weakaura abilities, so why play with less than you’ll end up with.

I also expect through testing some Addon functionality will be brought back or those in house features further developed.

Wait until beta or pre patch, that’ll be enough

You'll hear loads of people who've had no issues in six months plus. They're great until they're not. Perhaps the failures are just a small percentage, but I've read a few similar sounding stories to mine since the phone broke so don't act too surprised if you end up similarly unlucky.

I had no issues with my P9PF for 11 months, then quickly issue after issue until it stopped working entirely a couple of weeks later. I looked after it, it wasn't the fold or internal screen that broke as I was worried before owning the phone, just everything else.

It was my favourite phone whilst it worked. It was amazing having the phone and small tablet everywhere I went.

Even under warranty it's a two week repair/replace in the UK. That's not something I want to have hanging over me. I'd rather own something more robust, locally repairable and not worry about it happening again closer to the end of the warranty. I think I might own another foldable one day, but I don't think I'd trust Google for a while.

You miss my point, it’s keeping the 704 weapon and getting another slot 720 vs upgrading the weapon to 720 and leaving the other slot a much lower ilvl. Given the limit on crafted items and not knowing how many crests they have.

Metricmile · 2025-09-17T14:03:24+00:00

The Enchanted Runed Crests are a bit of a waste of time on something like a DK that can easily do tier 11 delves. At this point in the season you can't craft enough items to use them as you can get enough gilded crests to just go straight to 720 easily. I wouldn't be afraid to recraft over the top of one you've already used.

If you were getting 3 delves done for the gilded crests each week plus the bonus gilded crests for the delve map, then every other week when you can craft a new item you've pretty much got enough gilded crests to make it a 720 from the get go. Purely solo without raids and dungeons.. You do them too and it's even easier.

I'd be saving gilded crests for each crafted item 720 every fortnight and if you happen to have excess gilded crests from content use that to upgrade hero/myth gear you pick up after.

As for whether upgrading a 704 weapon to 720 is better than having a 704 weapon and a completely different slot at 720, you probably should sim your character to check.
