General Discussion / Re: Bad language on local 2m Radio Ham frequencies.
« Last post by Sorastro on May 12, 2025, 02:44:07 PM »
Sorry to say but bad language is the norm, and has been for some quite considerable time. You just can't get away from it, it's on the media on public transport and even in the street.

Even when my kids were growing up I always told them " I can't stop you hearing it but I'll certainly stop you using it"

Even when we hear it when out most people will just say nothing but the more you ignore it the worse it gets, so what's the answer??

Bring back the birch.....that will do for starters

Why did I get a ban for putting long live the king?

Are you racist against an Englishman for being patriotic to my king and country???

All the crap you let others post and kick off about and I make a post saying long live the king and get a ban.

What kind of poorly managed forums is this, when you allow all manner of rants but don't let a man show love for his kin
g and the land hes in????

You have seemingly re-joined this forum? However you have entered with an attitude. Please drop the attitude. You will be welcome to post and comment on topics, however if they become abusive and uncalled for your posts will be removed.
I suggest you start again with a good attitude C:-)

Not sure about your instance but I refused to let any of my Foster children have Radio One on in the car - purely because of the language used on the radio station.

I do try to keep my language at a respectable level.
Locally, some other operators don't  :))

You never know who's listening   ;)

All in good fun. Not point scoring  ;D ;D ;D

Chesterfield Discussion / Re: Peak gateway resort

This behemoth of a "resort" sadly won't stop the floods in and around Chesterfield now and in the future, money being spent that is needed before all these pie in the sky ideas.
At least if it floods they can always get some sand in and then pretend its Skegness, i have a suggestion for a new name for it THE LAST RESORT seems to have an appropriate ring to it.

a pessimist is a title that cynics give to a realist.

Well it's finally started... the Peak gateway "resort" at Sheepbridge. According to the D.T.it's the "long awaited" £1billion pound project.

They aren't kidding when they say it's long awaited, when was working for a company {on sheebridge trad est} the staff were always talking about it and a few said when built they would apply for jobs there, I left that job in 2008 so this has been in the pipeline for what 18 years?? so you can imagine if they had started and built it in 2008 just think of the cost compared to today, it wouldn't surprise me to find it's doubled maybe even trebled.

"Fully implemented the resort would sustain thousands of jobs". That's a bold statement, I'm assuming they include auxiliary and support staff such as deliveries and the like in that.

Looks like things are starting to unravel in La La Land. According to the news shares in Tesla seem to be on the slide and there's a big drop in Tesla sales {and that's in the U.S. alone}

For some reason, that is best known to Trump, he's still blaming Ukraine for the war and can't understand why Zelensky doesn't broker a peace deal with Russia to end it, after all Russia only wants a third of Ukraine plus Crimea so what's the hold up!

I still maintain Trump and Putin have got their heads together and are planning to divide Ukraine up between them, no one in their right mind sees Ukraine as the aggressor.

I think they have as well but if Trump thinks he can cosy up to Putin he's making a big mistake. he says one thing and does another!!

Had to make a conscious decision and ended up back with Hastings direct having not heard from my insurer about my renewal.

Paid a little more than i wanted to but had no choice. Went on a site {Sterling} that said give us your phone number and tell us when to ring you, I picked the Monday just gone at 1:00 p.m. they rang yesterday afternoon {not a good sign} and they came back with a quote just over £500 I told them no way, in fact Direct lines quote was cheaper than that.

Ended up paying £330 to Hastings.
