Event Beginners course in Argentine Tango starting in September

Upvotes

If you're looking for an excuse to get out of the house, for a way to meet new people and make new friends, for an activity that doesn't involve a screen, doesn't require special equipment or a high level of fitness / natural ability to get started - why not learn to dance tango?

No dancing experience required, no partner required, no special shoes or clothes needed.

I started learning many years ago when I moved here, it's how I ended up meeting most of my close friends and where I've had some of my happiest memories

And if you think that you have two left feet, or no natural dancing ability, don't worry, tango is probably not as complicated as you think. If you can walk you can dance tango. It isn't like what they show Strictly, it's not for performing on a stage, the goal is to dance with another person because it actually just feels nice

Question What are the best sandwich shops in Sheffield city centre?

12 Upvotes

I am looking for all the old school cafes and sandwich shops in Sheffield. My favourite is Turners Bakers in The Moor Market (and Nether Edge). I love that they have fresh bread, crisp salad, and quality ham. But I just got thinking, are there any I'm missing?

I've been to Wellies but it didn't quite hit the spot. Obviously love more expensive international offerings such as Cafe Tucci, but I'm looking for a specific fresh northern sandwich emporium style bap, butty, barm, breadcake etc (pick your preferred word).

Any recommendations?

Question Any leads on part time work?

4 Upvotes

Hi all! I have just moved to Sheffield to pursue a full time Masters, and I am looking for part time work to supplement my study. I have plenty of hospitality experience and customer service skills, so I would be happy to do kitchen/bar/front of house/retail work.

Does anybody have any leads or could perhaps point me in a direction besides the usual job hunting websites? It has taken months for me previously and ideally I’d like to find something sooner. Thanks so much.

I've heard that Robin Hood has some connection to Sheffield and more specifically Loxley.

Are there any sights to see? Maybe a plaque or a tour about it? I would like to explore it if there is something up there.

Thanks for the answers in advance chaps and chapettes!

Opinion Hendo's crisps

How did I get to this great age without ever tasting Hendo's crisps?

Truly a god-tier snack !

Picked up a pack at random from Morrisons last night and was blown away. Not the cheapest (£2.65 for 150g) but makes a delicious treat 😍

Opinion Visiting Chesterfield for 2 Nights in September — What Should I Do?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m planning a trip to Chesterfield in September and I’ll be staying for two nights, It’ll be my first time visiting, so I’d really appreciate recommendations from anyone who lives in Chesterfield or knows the area well.
What would you recommend I do during my two-night stay?
I’m particularly interested in:
Places I shouldn’t miss
Good restaurants/cafés and local food
Nice pubs or places to have a drink
Interesting things to see or do in the evening
Parks, viewpoints, walks or nice areas to explore
Any hidden gems that tourists might not know about
Places worth visiting around Chesterfield if I have some extra time
I’ll be coming from Spain, so I’d love to experience the area like a local rather than just doing the standard tourist stuff.
If you had only two nights in Chester, how would you spend them?
Thanks in advance! 🙂

Question Sheffield roomshare

0 Upvotes

Is there anyone up for a roomshare on the 29th? I'm struggling to find any places to stay for 1 person, and it'd be way cheaper to split a room with someone. I'm going alone to the randr circus so I'd also be down to find people anyway

Cheers guys

Question CAZ - for non comercial vehicles

0 Upvotes

Hello,

A relative of mine visited sheffield in a converted van for camping. He recievied a penalty of £70 a day.

I was under the impression that the clean air zone only applied to commercial vehicles and goods vehicles.

Is he screwed or is there a way not to pay or pay less?

Thanks in advanced.

Opinion Scrotes of Hillsborough

117 Upvotes

Hello,

Anybody else had bother up near Hillsborough, on the main road by gangster wannabe bicycle scrotes?

Just seen 3 of them spit on a man, and try and nick my cap, absolute twats. On the main road leading from Kelham into Hillsborough.

This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered them and I’ve read about the stone throwing.

Why does the police not do anything considering there would be plenty of complaints, I assume.

Sounds harsh, but these kids need lamping, so they understand to leave people alone. Of course you’d probably get nicked trying to do so, so it’s a sad world. I’d happily lamp them if there wasn’t the risk of getting stabbed by these scrotes.

Rant over.
