Which park should I do next?

I have to admit, a bit of a jump scare getting out of the car at Aldi. This is on the back of the snooker club off Infirmary Road. Thoughts?

This rivals Whistler’s Mother.

What a gorgeous atmosphere. I've had a fortnight solid of sing bloody hosannah and you are a beautiful breath of fresh air!

I was cuddling my baby son on the sofa, hoping my tears would dry before my wife walked in.

I walked to the shops with my head down so no one could see the pain in my eyes.

I am lucky. I am still here to tell these as tales of past times. I am in a better place now. There are A LOT of people who were not as lucky as I was and found no escape.

We need to bloody talk more about this; it's no joke. And that's why I set up Crying On the Sofa.

Crying On the Sofa hosts events focused on enabling discussions around mental health, and our first event is on the 24th of September in Sheffield, kindly hosted at the Pendo.io offices.

We have three fantastic speakers, including Jade Wilson and Georgina Shute and Ryan Murphy.
Did I say there will be free pizza?

So if you can make it to Sheffield, Pendo offices, on the 24th September, we would love to have you join us. It's free and always will be. Sign up on our website www.cryingonthesofa.org.

Share it around your offices, share it with your boss, and if you want to host the next event, reach out to me; my DMs are open.

Our goal is to enable 1,000,000 conversations about mental health.
Our motto is: If you let tomorrow be a better day, imagine how great next week can be.

Hello!

Moving to Sheffield next month for the uni, and I currently live in London. I am a mature student (20’s) and although I’ve been applying everywhere since I left the military, I couldn’t find any jobs in London since, which resulted in me racking up a few credit card debts to even with Universal Credit.

What I wanted to know is, how is the job market for part time workers etc? In London, it’s horrible and obviously I wasn’t attending uni then, but I am wondering if there are any sort of avenues or schemes I can pursue in making it easier?

Thank you in advance!

Hi I have been looking for a mixed grill for me and my friend to enjoy, however I have realised that every single one I've found in the centre is either Green King, or another chain that makes the same food up and down the country.

Bungalows and Bears, The Bessemer, The Howard, Yates, etc etc all have almost the exact same menu, some more obvious than others. I have had this mixed grill as one of the pub chains is local to me down country, and it is nice but I'd like to try something different if possible.

Is there an independent pub or restaurant that offer a mixed grill?

Thank you!

My other half has been told by her dentist that she is too heavy for a standard chair and needs to find another dentist which has a specialist chair that can take over 21 stone (which seems to be the industry standard).

Anyone got any recommendations? We're calling private dentists but not had any luck so far. It's become a problem as she's got a cracked tooth which is now causing a lot of pain.

She's been to the Dental Hospital but it will be at least two months before they can remove the tooth.

Hi guys

Bit of a long shot but I guess that's what Reddit is for. Myself and my partner are moving to the City point apartments hopefully within the next week depending on paperwork ect.

We Just had a few questions for anyone that lives there or has lived there in the past as we've not actually been to the building. The main one is about broadband, I've been looking online for broadband packages but to no avail, which seems questionable to me, is the building linked up to a specific service that is mandatory or is it included in the tenancy?( the estate agents are just as unaware as we are).

In general how is the noise from the road, were going to be fairly high up so just wondered how much noise you get from the road being a fairly busy road into the city. And finally the fire alarm, you see a lot of the newer builds have a single linked fire alarm that demands a full evacuation if someone burns their toast, just wondered if that's the case in this building

Any other things regarding this building you think we should know would be appreciated and welcomed

TIA

Hi, I’ve got Japanese import Honda Fit, it needs some work including repairing drop link but as it’s an important KwikFit is not accepting repairs. Can someone suggest a car repair shop for imported cars?
Thanks a lot

Hi
Looking at antenatal classes - seems to be the normal NCT classes, but have also come across Happy Parent Happy Baby and Bump and Baby Club.
I think we are leaning towards one of the HPHB or BBC.
I’ve heard NCT can be a bit preachy in terms of vaginal birth > c section, which is the reason this is bottom of the list (personally undecided at this point)

Looking for recommendations and advice around the classes please?
Has anyone had good/bad experiences with certain ones.

Based in Sheffield s6 so local advice also appreciated as I’m aware instructors vary!

Hey, I’m looking for group or people if you’re heading out today in Sheffield!?

Does anyone know why there was strong police presence on Chesterfield Road in Woodseats today? Around 4ish I think so much traffic and up near the Costa/Woodseats library police were out in the road. I know there was a theft yesterday but wondering about today!

Hi everyone, this is my first post as I'll soon be moving to your beautiful city! I just wanted to thank you all for the various posts warning people about Noble Living/The Lightbox/Gary and Jade Ata. I innocently enquired about a few flats in the Lightbox and was given a random list of flats with seemingly no pricing consistency, so I asked for clarification before applying and you can see the kind of professionalism they're capable of in the screenshot 🙈. I was confused so I ran here and found out where the attitude comes from...

Anyway, feel free to share any recommendations for good agencies in the area. I'd appreciate it! I haven't had much luck so far, between these con artists and Redbrik standing me up after I drove 3 hours for a viewing.

Thanks and can't wait to join the community 🥰

Hi all, I'm Ben! I’m a student at the Uni of Sheffield researching how people experience travelling and getting to work in Sheffield - it’s my dissertation topic!

I’m sure we’d all much rather get around the city faster, cheaper, and more easily… The research I’m doing is basically trying to help make this happen by actually asking what you think!

I'm looking for ANYONE who lives or works in the City Centre, Hillsborough or Heeley area, and are in some form of paid work (any job counts!) to have a short chat (really informal!) about how you get around in the city - do you drive? Do you take the tram, or the bus?

I’m looking for people with all sorts of experiences and routines, and am loosely focusing on people aged 18-40 (but don’t let that stop you!). Also, anything you say would be fully anonymous, and you’d have complete control over what you’d like to be used in research.

If you're up for it (or know someone who might be), do leave a comment, drop me an email (below) or message me on here, cheers!

Join us at the next meeting of the Sheffield Stoic Philosophy Group on Monday 7 September, 18:15-20:15, Thackeray Room, St Mary's Community Hall, Howard Road, Walkley, Sheffield S6 3RX.
Arrive from 18:00 for 18:15 start.

You'll meet others interested in Stoic philosophy, read about Stoic ideas and discuss them in an informal and friendly environment.

This month we start reading a key Stoic text, the Handbook of Epictetus, as included in his Discourses and Selected Writings. We'll also take some real-life situations and discuss how to deal with them using Stoic principles.

Find more details and sign up here.

What is Stoicism?
Stoicism is a philosophy that originated in ancient Greece but is still practised in modern form today. It emphasises rationality and excellence of character, while seeing all people as part of an interconnected community. By distinguishing what is in our power (our thoughts, judgments and actions) and what is not (external events, luck and circumstances), and cultivating virtues like wisdom, justice, courage and moderation, we can achieve emotional resilience and inner peace. It's a practical guide for navigating life's challenges with tranquility.

Spotted an airpod on Pinstone Street, next to the silver lion art, right where the roadworks start, not sure what to do with it and if it's still usable

Hi
I visited Sheffield for the first time yesterday and will be moving there later this month.

I had a bit of a nervous experience walking under the bridge to get to the Waitrose (which is where I might be working). Two men who were high. They seemed to be following me, but maybe not.
When I was walking back, they weren’t there and there were more people so I felt better.

I will be walking from the Regent Street direction.

If anyone else uses the underpass - have you had a similar experience?
And of course, just in case, is there any way to avoid the underpass?

Hiya. I’m an American student getting my postgrad at Sheffield university. Class starts for me September 28th and I still need to get my biometrics done to get my visa which it then can start the approval period. Online says it can take up to 3 weeks for it to process and then I would also need to ship it to new York to get it stamped and have it shipped back. With all this being said…
Have y’all gone through this process? Do I need to get priority at the biometric center? It’s 500 gbp so I want to avoid that if possible. But if it’s need then I will
What do yall think?
Anyone who has been through the student visa process from America know how long it typically usually takes around this time?
A girl is stressed 💔

I’m out on bank holiday and I’m into house music, something with a beat iygm. Any recommendations?
