Eddie Izzard - Potential Sheffield Lab Mp?
topten replied to Baron99's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I would like to know what people's opinions are on the proposed new Labour candidate at the next Election Eddie Izzard.? He is not my idea of a politician and I think personally a bloody disgrace and humiliating to the Sheffield public. -
Anyone from the village of woodhouse

Anyone remember the little chippie roughly opposite the Royal I think they were called Lax? -
Can anyone remember when, as a new bottle you sometimes had to stick a knife in it to get it flowing. Todays version is **** thin and tasteless, bring back the real stuff.

Have Wednesday and United reached their playing level in the Championship, can we without big money backers be expected to compete in the Premier league? Because to me it seems if you have big money and support, more money is given.

topten replied to prioryx's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I went to St Maries from 57 -63 remember Miss Worth ( with the big boobies she used to rest her arms on them!! Sr Maria took the reception class - she was a gentle nun & Sr Mary Dennis was the head teacher, no fond memories of her!!! Kevin Dempsey was my 2nd Cousin a bit older than me. My older sister Anne Dempsey & cousin Margaret Gregg were there in the early 50's, also Eileen Gregg & Cath Singleton. In my class was Linda Rawlins ( who had an older brother caller Terry ) Kathleen Royston & Valerie Powell, we all went on to St Pauls & caught up at the reunion.

topten replied to topten's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I too was roughly in the same spot I was a season ticket holder at the time -
Wednesday beat Man United 5-4 after going in at half time trailing by 2 goals, I think it was 4-2. The wonderful George Best was playing and scored,what I would like to know is the crowd size on that day please.:help:
