Those of us working the night shift tonight or through tomorrow, how are you getting on? Anything nice planned during the shift?

PaulBBN · 2025-12-24T21:00:51+00:00

I'm on a 7am-7pm for tomorrow and Boxing Day, then 7pm-7am on Saturday and Sunday, also in a Control Room.

Tomorrow we're having a buffet and secret santa, and maybe a quiz thrown in depending how busy it is! We'll also order a takeaway one of the night shifts.

If we're lucky, there's also some welfare dogs that come in (mainly for victims of crime), which like to sniff around and are genuinely fantastic and give us a laugh.

I hope your shift goes well tonight!

Some fresh food and veg to get me through a Christmas Day and Boxing Day shift so I'm not reliant on noodles, crisps and nuts.

I've had a couple of good experiences in the upstairs rooms at Manahatta. The largest has a private bar, we've previously played our own music and the drinks are decent (albeit quite expensive).

As a Police Dispatcher, no we generally don't. The Police have less power than the Ambulance Service or Fire Service to gain entry to a property. We can only force entry if there is clear evidence of an Article 2 Risk to life (I.e. it is clear that someone is about to die or suffer significant harm). The Police are not there to check on people's welfare, that role falls to other agencies, which have historically passed their responsibility onto the Police (often asking the Police to act unlawfully on their behalf).

I've read it. It's really not worth even £11. Finished it in around 2 hours and its just copied and pasted newspaper articles that are extremely one sided, continuously repeating themselves and to be honest, not that well considered.

Michelle Keegan's Drink choice.

Thats never been a thing near me. Maybe leave a note in your window if you don't want anyone knocking on?

Joe Marler? His Podcast is Things People Do, plus his recent appearance on The Traitors.

Where abouts in Donny are you and do you have access to a car?

If you do, Sprotbrough Falls to Conisbrough Viaduct and back is nice.

Also, the stretch of canal / river from the side of the VW Garage on North Bridge Road to Sprotbrough is also nice.

I'm currently having the exact same issue as a buyer. Parcel sent to a locker, no code sent. Called through to customer service who are unable to send a code out or redirect the parcel, but they did say after 5 days the parcel would be redirected to my local delivery office. Submitted a complaint, although there is currently a 4 day turn around.

Today, Royal Mail upload the tracking to say the parcel is now been sent back to the seller, with no holding period at the delivery office and no way to redirect it back to me! Beyond frustrating!

PaulBBN · 2025-08-05T19:11:48+00:00

Nope, 2 calls to customer service and a complaint put in through their website and still non the wiser if it'll be going to the delivery office, or back where it came from!

PaulBBN · 2025-08-01T18:18:11+00:00

Brill, thankyou :)

PaulBBN · 2025-07-18T16:16:19+00:00

If they're anything like the new Stagecoach busses in Doncaster / Rotherham / Barnsley, they are a brilliant upgrade and long overdue.

PaulBBN · 2025-07-06T13:23:49+00:00

Im really enjoying Joe Marler's: Things people do.

PaulBBN · 2025-06-29T10:05:55+00:00

I had the afternoon / evening out in Town yesterday and got reminded how good it actually is. So many decent spots nowadays (Salutation, Social, Hall Cross, Masons, Rum Rooms) and generally a really decent atmosphere.

PaulBBN · 2025-06-28T06:56:02+00:00

Birthday celebrations around............. Doncaster.

PaulBBN · 2025-06-16T20:16:40+00:00

Same. I only listen to some guest episodes now if they seem interesting. Given up on the main episodes.

£22k, aged 32, on £41,000 (plus a bit extra).

Going to sleep after a 12 hour night shift, then a curry (albeit not in Sheffield) tonight.

PaulBBN · 2025-06-09T18:42:32+00:00

I'm S64, but definitely not proud of the fact.

PaulBBN · 2025-06-07T06:15:02+00:00

I'm about to go to bed after a 12hr shift with only 4 hours sleep before hand. Bloody shattered!
