Whats wrong with Sheffield? (confused)

KL-alfman · 02-20-10, 08:28 AM

might be an inside-joke in Britain?

Paul Riley · 02-20-10, 09:02 AM

I still dont see the significance between Sheffield and me posting a valid question about Silent Hunter III.I have lived in Sheffield all my life and I never considered it to appear amusing,its a place in northern England,is this the joke?.Nope,dont get it,sorry.
Let me just say Sheffield is a magnificent place,much like the north of england in general,and would sooner live up here than anywhere down south,the people are friendlier and more down to earth,with a proud history also.

I seriously dislike people trying to appear clever and think they know it all by making random wisecracks.
Sorry if this appears extreme,but yes,i'm quite offended.I asked a simple question because I want to get some of my old mods back after losing all my data a while ago,ideally I wanted links to the mods ,not some smart arse trying to bring 'Sheffield' into the equation?
Someone PLEASE enlighten me on this VERY confusing situation!

I think it could be a rivalry, like college football in America (Ohio State and University of Michigan is one of the biggest rivalrys). I go for U of M, and we hate anyone for Ohio State. That could be it.

Correct

Well if this is a joke i'd seriously start buying some decent 'how to tell good jokes' books because this has to be the worst ive EVER heard.
Its pretty clear Mr Wolf you dislike people from the north of England,and let me say the feeling would be mutual regarding people south of the border (dont get me started on this!) ,not all but most

In the meantime,thanks for the help on my original question

Sorry to the rest who may have wanted to help.

I have used subsim for a while now and had some interesting moments in here,but this has to be the first time i've got caught up in heated debate about Sheffield.You ought to pay a visit sometime,the scenery is fantastic,you can find a decent boozer almost anywhere,and we do the finest knuckle sandwich in the land for those looking for one

(no,I dont smoke)

(end of rant...hopefully)

Paul Riley · 02-20-10, 02:11 PM

Look,just tell me,because this is pissing me off big time now,what is funny about Sheffield?

i'm serious now pal,no joke.
If it wasnt for Sheffield you could have kissed your arses down south because there would have been hardly any steel to carry the war on!,you ever heard of 'steel city'?,did it ever occur to you why Sheffield was called that?
In my opinion I would have let the Germans sieze the southern ports,no skin off my nose
