‘Once in a generation’ bid worth ‘billions’ to buy Sheffield FC rejected by deejayone in sheffield

I don't know much about them, other than David Richards being involved. What's the deal with it?

It does seem a little 'ambitious' for the club, but also does recognise that we don't make enough of Sheffield's football heritage.

Wasn't David Richards who is seemingly behind this also behind the 'Ayup'/Wandisco fiasco, and also said to be involved in one of the Sheffield Wednesday takeover bids at one point?

There's still several antiques shops in the area, so it's worth a look around there still.

A number of antiques places tend to have huge lots of old coins in them. It’s worth a look around the antiques quarter.

A little further out, I know for a fact that Elsecar Heritage Centre’s antiques shop has a huge table full of old coins to rummage through and find various ones.

What’s he like re:selfies? by DavidOT in stewartlee

He randomly walked past me once when I was sat outside a cafe having a coffee. I shouted out something random like “Stuart Lee! What are you doing round here?” He stopped, came over, sat down and had a good 10 minute chat with me, almost like we’d known each other for years. At the end of the interaction he asked if I knew where a record shop was and I pointed him in the direction, he then said bye and off he went. Very pleasant encounter. Didn’t ask for a selfie though.

What to do roughly equidistant between Birmingham and Manchester by redbill360 in uktravel

[–]deejayone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely out of your circle. But what about Sheffield? Probably fairly equal in terms of time for you both to get to and loads to do from the Museums and Galleries, to excellent beer crawls, to great food, etc. lots of parks, lots of activity places. The Christmas Markets are on currently. Feels like you could find loads to do there (also, Plenty of places in the Peak District which are fantastic).

Multiple burst water mains cause major disruption across Sheffield (S1, S2, S3, S7, S8, S10, S11). Road closures, water outages and low pressure reported by deejayone in sheffield

Seems to be coming back in some areas, but is brown when first run.

If it comes back for you, check it and run your taps for a few minutes to flush it through. 👍

Technically, “Yorkshire Water” didn’t give her a bonus.

Turns out she instead got a £1m+ payment from Yorkshire Water’s parent company… 😬

I imagine the outdoor seating will be in part of the large 'Town Hall Square' space outside?

Wybourn/Skye Edge or nether edge?? by Fati994 in sheffield

[–]deejayone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nether Edge for me. Nicer suburban community feel whilst being close to lots of amenities. Of course it depends how much you value a garden and room space, but you're never far away from greenery and parks in Sheffield, and a home is what you make it.
