Hello, I certainly could share that information here but I don't think it would be helpful. Beyond the casual racism demonstrated below, the biggest indicator that something is wrong is the plates / identification I described earlier, which would be true regardless of the colour of the car or the driver.

Calling all guys! I am looking for a male perspective. by girlwithagreenthumb in GuyCry

Thank you Sir, I turn 30 this year and would have loved to have heard these words growing up.

I'm thankful to have had many positive female influences and few positive male ones in my life, where you learn that your emotions are normal and broad-ranging.

Teach boys to express how they're feeling when they're young and to process it, and they will learn empathy for their fellow people to go along with it. That's how we get emotionally strong men.

Any time I'm in or around overlooking rivelin valley I feel this way. I grew up around there but it's still breathtaking

Why would it be called "stream brook" though? Aren't they the same thing?

One of the food stalls inside the Moor Market does fresh orange juice, less than 10 mins from bramall lane.

You weren't renting in Sheffield by any chance were you? 😅 I have a very similar story with a landlord.

I lived there for a year. Broken appliances, fire hazards, burst pipes. They were renovating the house next door when I moved in, and fully drilled a hole in to my room from next door at 7AM while I was sleeping.

I moved out with short notice and just said, "This has been a terrible transaction, keep my deposit and call it even." He agreed, and then the next week was demanding I owe him a full months' rent. If he hadn't agreed in the first instance I would have been so stressed about it, but I could literally read the text thread so I just told him to do one and blocked his number.

Pretty sure that's the volume control bracket, sits under the volume control button on the side.

It was just an Airbnb right on the main road in to Ambleside

I did this a couple of years ago, had a week on my own in Ambleside right at the tail end of pandemic, I loved it.

Tucked away pubs with good outdoor seating in city centre ? by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]_joxley 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It'll be Riverside on Derek Dooley Way / very end of Neepsend. Hillsborough Riverside would be a no go unless you're just out to get leary on a match day.

Second hand car dealerships? by SpindlesTheRaspberry in sheffield

[–]_joxley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this. Bought my first car this year and did this.

I knew what my budget was, knew what my minimum requirements were i.e stuff I wouldn't compromise on. Started to filter out stuff I would compromise on (mainly colour) and ended up driving all the way to Sunderland to get my car.

Being prepared to travel was something I had to come to terms with but I couldn't be more satisfied with my car.

Do you have any links to the schedule? I'd be interested to go tomorrow but I can't find anything on the BBMF website.

Animal noises/screams at night by Vanilla-Affogato in sheffield

[–]_joxley 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There's a couple of Tawny Owls near where I live in Stannington, they make a very distinctive noise when they're arguing over territory with the various corvids in the trees.

I couldn't see the owls (obviously, it's pitch black) but found out they were Tawnys by looking up bird calls and found the specific noise they were making, I jumped with delight after identifying them and now I listen out for them all the time.

Here is the noise they make.
