Even I could not get excited about a trip to Sheffield.
Good evening/morning/whatever, Queenie.

Where are you off to in Sheffield then? (I lived there for 20 years, so I know it quite well).
Question Author
I'm going to the Speedway premier rider league championships Buenchico. I was looking forward to it now I'm not too sure. I've never been before. Also good morning I guess it would be :)

It should be fun Jackdaw as its one of my favourite things to do is go to the speedway but I'm just not feeling it right now.
Owlerton Stadium isn't in a particularly attractive part of Sheffield, Queenie. (I'd love to be there but only because it's just over half a mile from my lad's house; I can't think of much else to recommend it though!).

How are you getting there (car or public transport) and which direction will you be coming from?
Question Author
We've never been. But thank you for the heads up! Last time dad went it was rained off.

We are coming down from the north taking in the meeting and heading home after as dad has work on Monday.

I was much more excited about my trip to Peterboroughx
Assuming that you'll be coming down the M1, off at Jn 36 and down the A61, I can't think of a great deal to recommend to you along your route.

The best pubs for lunch are probably those in the attractive village of Grenoside, which you'll see signposted off to your right as you come down the A61. However, as the speedway doesn't start until 5.30pm you might not be arriving in the area until later (although, of course, you could still call into one of them on your way back). You'll actually be passing Grenoside's 'bottom' Red Lion on the A61. (Grenoside has two 'Red Lion's. The 'top' one is in the main village; the 'bottom one is on the A61). I've drunk many a pint in there and it's a pleasant place for food and drink.

I really ought to go to bed but this cat on my knee doesn't want to let me!!!

I shall bear it in mind. I haven't a clue which way we are going. I assumed the A1M but could be wrong. We need to negotiate around the Great North Run.

I sympathise there all though not one of my 6 is around at the moment. OH is snoring away beside me though. I'm sure the cat won't be too disgruntled if you pick them up and say it's time for your cat nap!
If you're coming down the A1(M), leave at Jn 43, joining the M1.
Follow the M1 to Jn 36, taking the A61 into Sheffield.
Owlerton Stadium is on the A61.
Easy peasy!

You're making me realise how much I miss Sheffield or, more accurately, certain people in Sheffield. The guy I think of as my own son (even though, biologically, he's not) lives just down the road from there and his mother used to run the day-to-day operations at Owlerton Stadium, as their Secretary.
Oh well, I've finished the beer and the cat has finally moved off my knee, so I'll try to get some sleep now.

I hope that you can too and that you'll enjoy your time in Sheffield.

Good night.
Hi Queenie, if you're still around.

Love going to the speedway myself. closest one is a days drive so it means an overnight stay.
I'm not asleep. I'm at the bar, waiting for my pals to come down. Nursing my sexing Dirty Martini.
I don't have a Dirty Martini ;-( but I do have a beer.

I'm not in a bar, I'm in my workshop (man cave) making sawdust, the left over bits of wood are starting to look like a table.
A man cave sounds curiously exciting, 1ozzy
We're doing a casino crawl tonight. Starting at Caesars. On our way there now. x
Hope you and your pals have a great time JJ.
Question Author
I fell asleep, thank you for that Buenchico :)

Hiya to 1ozzy and JoggerJayne...and I seem to have become Smowball lol
Hope you have a good day today Queenie, not yawning your head off all day;-)
Question Author
I'm hoping it will pick up...feeling a little off but still hoping to go. Not yawned yet though
