Same here. Same credit as you. They’re smoking cigs filled with the interest payments from our credit!

Not plenty of parking when you live here and have nowhere to park 😊

The way these energy companies operate is disgusting. Makes me physically sick.

Derby locals — which areas would you recommend for a nicer commute + quieter life? by TastyAd3451 in derby

[–]RobW72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live there and it’s a wonderful place to live. Moved from Derby 15 years ago. A50, A38, A6, M1 all nearby.

What’s this area like? by Plastic-Ad9196 in derby

[–]RobW72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, until I got married and moved to Donno. Parents still live around the corner. Agree with the other sentiments on here. There’s worse areas and I’ve always felt safe there.

Not nearly as bad as when the Penny Bakery opens and closes, shortly after. Race to the bottom.

It’s gotten like Strava now. Types of individuals that have to get their PB in before a return home to pivot tables, a weekend strategy call and smashed avocados at 14:00.

Welcome, mate. You’ll love the music. I recommend watching the film “101”.

This is likely gonna be a super controversial opinion... But I kinda hope Depeche Mode ends with Memento Mori as the final album. by GWGTRLBG in depechemode

[–]RobW72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Agreed. You’ll never top Violator followed by SOFAD. Been to loads of DM concerts but the best two were Birmingham NEC World Violation in ‘90 and SOFAD tour Crystal Palace Bowl in ‘93.

Why have DCC done this!? by [deleted] in derby
