So, Damien Hirst has decided to 'make a statement' by burning his paintings of coloured dots, which are/we're reported to be worth millions.

Wouldn't he have done better to have auctioned them off, and donated the proceeds to various charities (and earned some street cred in the process)?

Your thoughts (please show your workings in the margins)!

General Discussion / Holiday in Mallorca
« on: June 04, 2022, 09:09:40 PM »
Came back from a weeks holiday in Cala Egos, the hotel was perfect, the food amazing, and the surrounding areas were lovely.

Unfortunately it went t*ts up when we got to Palma airport for our return flight. Shortly after joining the queue all Doncaster passengers were told to leave the queue.
We were told our flight had been cancelled, and we would be placed in a (supposedly) 4star platinum Hotel on All Inclusive basis. Fine - but when we got there we were told it was full board and only drinks with meals were provided.
OK, the hotel had been refurbished and was clean, unfortunately the meals were pooor in terms of both choice and the fact they were only served tepid.

Added to that I bought (and paid for) a Baileys, but was served a cheaper Irish Cream, it took a lot of arguing with the bar staff to get them to serve me what I'd paid for.
Anyway, we got to the airport next morning and about 1 1/2 hours later we were on our way back home
We got back to Doncaster and got our taxi back home

ID like to say that was the end of it all, but over the next few days, all four of us tested positive for Covid! 😢

Despite everything we had a lovely holiday and were grateful we caught it at the end of the holiday.

Despite several other councils having already sent this money to householders, Chesterfield Borough Council are still saying that they are waiting for the necessary software to be installed on their systems.
In an article in the Derbyshire Times, they're hoping to start in first two weeks of May. This article was published this week and we're now at the end of that period - and we haven't received it.
I appreciate that it's a huge job to get it sorted, but how come other councils (including Bolsover) have managed it? I'm sure the council wouldn't be this lenient/patient if we made a similar excuse in the payment of our council tax.
Apparently Boris has given all councils a deadline of September this year to have completed the task. This isn't helping the people that are in desperate need on this payment.
Here's (hopefully) a link to the article:

Chesterfield Discussion / Eyres store to cease trading
« on: April 20, 2022, 07:34:46 AM »
According to an article in the Derbyshire Times Eyres will not be re-opening:

"In a letter sent to employees, it was revealed that Eyres of Chesterfield had ceased trading with immediate effect.

The letter reads: “Due to the Company being unable to secure critical funding, which was essential to enable necessary and urgent building repairs to be carried out, and for Eyres to proceed with the planned refurbishment, modernisation and re-opening of the store as scheduled, the Company’s ability to meet creditor demands has been severely affected."

I can't say I'm surprised, in fact I said when they closed 'for refurbishment' that I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't shut down.

Its a shame, but they did serve a very niche market.
