I was talking to a member of staff at the Sheffield P.D.S.A [People dispensary for sick animals] and was informed that the society has lost over 12 million pounds in donations over the last 12 months. This means that the charity faces closure if that trend continues . So come on Sheffielders start giving ,donating or leaving your estate to this wonderful charity as without it many animals will end up sick and uncared for or put down. Maybe some of the multi millionaires in pop music ,royalty ,and other privileged positions will also donate a million or two [we can live in hope:rolleyes:.

And going back with two bags, two kids ,a pram and gammy leg:mad:

Where about is that tram stop please.

Attercliffe dog training at St Christopher church hall Bellhouse Road every Monday at 6-45 pm. They charge £1.50 per dog per week.

If the rents are half of what they should be then who is paying for the Market . I ask this because the rents where originally meant to cover the building costs and a loan that goes well into this century . That is what the Sheffield Telegraph stated a couple of years ago.

Fighting age males who should be doing the right thing and defending their own Country instead of leaving the weak and helpless behind to their fate.

SO another adventurer has died while walking to the South Pole [Henry Worsley] . But why do they do it ? Why climb Everest or cross the Sahara or trek to the most inhospitable places on Earth in the name of charity [often putting others in danger who try to rescue them and also leaving family's without a father or mother to fend for them as they grow up]. Would it not be easier to cycle across Europe ,America or Russia for instance or walk from Lands End to John O Groats etc, Why do they put their lives and others at risk .

Luke should have applied for political asylum .

There are a couple of threads on this Forum one is called Myrtle Springs Toll Road the other is called the Gleadless Valley, I think so any way.

I have no idea as to what conditions were imposed .

Building regulations apply to the actual building work and have nothing to do with noise . How many on these threads have to do D.I.Y at weekends for instance or have had a mate of a mate to do them some cash in hand at weekends when that is the only time either party can actually do the work. Most of the moaners I would like to bet. There is also some work that can only be done at weekends.

I can understand the noise aspect of Industry having lived in the East end of Sheffield when the hammers and rolling mills were at full tilt [wish they would return tomorrow]. However I have worked in the building trade and I can assure you that it is a trade governed by the weather. A team of bricklayers for instance may be laid of due to rain ,frost or snow.,Come the weekend and the sun comes out so they decide to make hay while the sun shines . Bingo they have some wages to come in .Then the nimby's start complaining about noise , dust, mud on road and so on . So the family's of the building workers end up with no money usually around this time of year. Building work is not like sitting in a cosy office or call centre or shop work it is work when the work is there or possible.

Your house was once a building site.

Some call no one the diamond .

Over the last ten years or so Sheffield has witnessed some of the most horrendous Architecture ever inflicted on the City. Number one has to be the awful structure at Brookhill on the site that used house Jessops Hospital . It looks similar to a giant tennis ball that has been encased in a colander it makes no attempt what so ever to fit in with the surrounding environment or to have any redeeming feature to enhance the area at all. Number two on the list is the Multi Floor sky scraper building that is just of the Piece Gardens [a private apartment building I presume ]. How could this monstrosity have passed the council planners . The building completely over powers the lovely square that houses the winter gardens and St Pauls hotel as well as the Lyceum and Crucible theatres. Number three is the Mosque at Heeley a building so at odds with its surroundings as to be beyond belief . The Green towers stick up into the sky as though they have been designed by an alien from another Planet and it is another build that has made no attempt to fit in with the traditional Sheffield landscape or area. Any more contenders welcome.

The Moor in Sheffield is now half way into its new look. What do you think , should it be open to public transport, should the building that cuts it of at the bottom be removed so as to allow through traffic . What about the new building work does it inspire you or is it just much the same as the rest or even the ones that have been replaced . Will the new Primark be a success now that it is not situated at the prime tram stop in the City centre meaning that a bit of a walk will be necessary to get there. Should the Moor be the prime shopping area or just an off shoot from the proposed new retail area on Camebridge Street,

We should leave this Franco German club as soon as possible . We should also ask all the immigrants who have come here but do not work to go back home . Please note the do not work comment before the usual suspects jump on board.

On the main road from Middlewood into Oughtabridge some utility or road mending firm has erected temporary traffic lights . They have been there for around a week and at peek times lead to heavy tail backs of traffic in both directions . This in turn means thousands of pounds of wasted fuel and time for motorists and transport companies. The problem is that no one is doing any work whatsoever , no sign of any work vehicles, equipment or indeed workmen. Now this is not an isolated instance around Sheffield it happens all over the City where the phantom traffic lights are set up and nothing seems to happen for days or weeks, why are these company's [or council] aloud to get away with causing so much delay and fuel wastage when they have just gone away and abandoned the job.

I have taken over an allotment last year. The grass was waste high so I covered it with old carpet to kill it off I have just uncovered it and started to dig the plot but to my dismay the grass roots go about 15 inches down at least ,they are tangled up in a complete underground carpet and it is almost imposable to dig. The roots do not look as though they have died off. Am I wasting my time is there any way to get rid of this mess any advice would be appreciated.

What about North Cyprus would that now be considered dangerous.

I felt very sorry for Brian the Blade this morning ,cut off in mid sentence by the presenter. I know that Brian can be a pain in the bum but Radio Sheffield often rely on him to liven things up when things are quiet .

My other half received a letter from the doctors surgery telling her to make an urgent appointment, when she phoned up the receptionist replied that the earliest available was in three weeks.

Perhaps these cheesy people can be found jobs in the steel or cutlery works or maybe down the pit as has been the tradition of immigrants to Sheffield over the last century or so. No time for ogling young girls in the PIECE Gardens when you are covered in muck and all you need is a good sleep so as to be ready for the next shift at Steel Peach and Tozer or down Treeton pit.

It seems as though David Cameron our leader must have had his attention directed to Sheffield Forum as he has announced that millions will be made available to improve council estates ,perhaps the Valley will once again be the pride of social housing everywhere .
