Rants / Get a life!!!
« Last post by Sorastro on Today at 02:40:29 PM »
O.K. so Liam Payne is dead, yes tragic... as all deaths are especially involving someone so young but having vigils where he died and in other places I mean come on people... "GET A GRIP".

Stood outside the hotel singing {his} songs and building shrines what's the matter haven't you got homes {and jobs} to go to.
The {younger} publics fascination with sackcloth and ashes and all, these people, 99% of whom never met him probably never got within 500 feet of him are weeping and wailing just because they bought a couple of his records or went to his concerts, if that's how they carry on when a "stranger" dies what are they going to be like when heaven forbid it's a member of their family.

General Discussion / Charles in Australia
« Last post by Sorastro on Today at 02:16:32 PM »
Saw on the news Charles getting heckled after his speech down under. Lidia Thorpe shouted:- "Your not my King, it's not your land" right on both points.

I don't know what she's bellyaching about, they only have to put up with a couple of royals once every twenty years or so, we've got the lot of them 24/7.

Went to Tesco C/C yesterday, coming from Tupton stopped at the lights at the r/about next to petrol station in the left lane and a 4x4 came past me obviously oblivious to the light I was stopped at as the lights on the r/about were on green suddenly realised his mistake and stopped virtually on the r/bout itself.

Yes won't be long now, I just hope I'm not there when it happens.

We've just got back from Tesco C/C and they are on, coming round the r/about back towards the Mcdonalds r/about the traffic coming from town was backed up to way past the car wash.
This means not only will it be bad for drivers coming out of the petrol station, it will cause congestion for those coming out of Aldi.

This is due to the fact that when it was just a r/about drivers approaching it had a more relaxed and tolerant attitude to other drivers pulling out, now by adding lights it changes, everybody wants to beat the lights so tolerance goes on the back burner.

I'll give it a week before there's a road rage incident or an accident {or both}.

I actually laughed when I first saw all the lights round that roundabout.
It looked ridiculous.
Yesterday on my way back from the vets heading towards Tupton they were ON.
I was fortunate as my approach was on Green so apart from a slow crawl up to them I went through ok.
The other way from Tupton there were vehicles stood all the way to the MacDs roundabout.
I'll be using Hepthorne Lane way into Clay Cross more often!7

The r/bout at Tesco petrol station has new traffic lights and has recently had road markings put on it which looks like a mini version of Horns bridge r/about.

That's the trouble IT'S TOO SMALL!! you get two cars on the r/about waiting at the lights and the r/about is full, it's going to cause bedlam. Horns bridge is a pain in the rear but at least it has the size on it's side.

Yet another on line banker swindled out of money, this time the scammer pretended to be from Monso or whoever claiming to be their fraud department saying someone is hacking into their account, YES it was him and he managed to drained her account of thousands.

Whilst yet again stipulating I have zero sympathy with people who use on line banking, I do realise it's the modern way most of us do our banking, so how do you safeguard yourself from scammers?

Simply put, treat the person ringing you up as they would treat you if you had rung them. You know the drill you ring the banks call centre and they ask you certain questions, mums maiden name, school you went to, all these verification questions to ensure it's YOU, so why can't we do the same to them?
If someone rings claiming to be from your banks call centre they should have in front of them a pre arranged codeword that only you and the bank know or better still more than one in a specific order so a scammer would have to be a mind reader to tell you your codewords so anyone ringing out of the blue you would know immediately if they are genuine or not......end of.

Entertainment / Chesterfield Jazz Club
« Last post by Jazzkitten on October 11, 2024, 11:31:57 PM »
Hi all
I'm new here but have been a Chesterfield resident my whole life.
I just wanted to say hi, introduce myself and also mention that I and my husband Pat Sprakes run a monthly jazz club which has been going since 2012 but still people discover us and say they didn't realise Chesterfield had a jazz club!
The music we present is very accessible and not at all way out, so why not give us a try if you fancy an evening of live music in a welcoming environment.
We are based in the Mullen Suite at the Olde House on Loundsley Green Road, and we have our very own grand piano in the room.
The venue boasts a full bar and food available all day every day.
Our next gig will be trumpeter Ray Butcher this Sunday October 13th at 1.30pm. Please note this 8s a special extra concert as our usual date is the 3rd Thursday of each month apart from December when we run in the 3rd Wednesday due to venue Christmas functions.
Anyway  it's great to be here, see www.ticketsource.co.uk/wendykirkland for more info.
Thanks everyone and hello again.

Wendy
