I agree with Lickxx, if we have something why restrict it? Make the most of it, invest in it. It's a bit like BT with Broadband, they have the technology but don't want to push on with it. Anyway, were still waiting for repairs to our horse and cart track at Deepcar. There's a deep rut where owd Jess got stuck wi't plough last week. Supertram wossat??

When Ecclesfield was a real school it had Wycliffe, Bronte, Strafford, Lady Mabel, Priestley and Fairfax.

No....sorry I'm a bit late but i was hanging on 'til I knew for certain...

A bag o' wind and 22 kids in short kex. How can you "support" that? Go on then if I'm pushed...Go Ahead Eagles & the John Lund # 53 Team.

2 things - 1st a cat that doesn't like killing birds, worms (yes!) or mice and 2nd a real public transport to the north of Sheffield instead of the joke we have now.

Can anyone tell me if there is anything happening tomorrow out in the Peak District , saturday 28th, well dressings, fairs, car boots, galas etc. The Star didn't arrive tonight.

Ok, I was a bit extreme, I'm sorry. Sort of sorry.....but I'd like to smash the faces in of those who stole my car.

Cycleracer wrote this but why get annoyed, ok, I know, I know, you were meaning that the police get the blame, but just taking the phrase above, each time a joyrider dies, go out for a pint, be happy, celebrate, give the cat some caviar.

An atom bomb

Castlemarket, old law courts and whole of Wilkinsons BHS blocks are a disgrace. Pigeon crap and newspaper pages all over the place. Moving further up is Fitzalan Sq, now an oily bus roundabout. The GPO, it needs the same treatment as Dublin's in 1916. And why not plant the grotesque Rubiks Cube, you know, the object designed to obscure the view of the Winter Garden, right in the middle of Fitzalan Square, seeing as nobody has any thoughts about cleaning it up and making it a city centre terrace cafe or whatever. Of course the stinking buses would have to go and I don't care where to. Then using the spare land, develop the Peace Gardens into a city centre park like it should have been in the first place. Infact, lets blow it all up, along with the architects responsible for Rubiks Cube and the councillors who ok'd it and start again. Then we hire some architects from Rotterdam, show them the fotos of the old buildings and when they've finished laughing we ask them politely to design some buildings for us.

Back to the original thread about a lack of publicity for the 4th or 5th (who cares, we are a big city) largest city in UK, most of it is down to ignorance in the media. Ci Glover & Nicky Campbell on 5 Live had me in stitches when they were spouting on about a new international airport at Finningley. Both agreed they could not see the need for a large airport because there were no large cities close by except Leeds. There you have it, when the leaders of the nations airwaves fail their Geography GCSE miserably what price fame for tiny little villages like Barnsley and Huddersfield?

Used to go fly fishing at Morehall Res with Ronald Colman?? who was the youngish fellah in Howard's Way who died young. Swapped a cigarette lighter for a plectrum with Jan Akkerman last year at t' boardwalk. A few years ago just to hold the same plectrum that Akkerman played Tommy & Sylvia with would have been the pinacle of my musical life. Chatted with his bassist who we then saw on a Dutch TV prog called Kopspijkers among others.

I was taught by the real teacher whose character Brian Glover was based on in Kes. He used to clip his toenails whilst teaching us. Went to school with Simon Stainrod, played football with him, went sledging with him and he crashed into a tree and had to miss a United game because of it.

Thank you for the URL. However, my topic was about 'Respect' and not about sellers of the Big Issue or if there are too many of them or not.

Sitting outside Coles/John Lewis the other week I was watching a Big Issue seller trying his best and being really polite when he got the knockback so often. Coles being Coles is rather expensive and the people who shop there must have rather more disposable income than those who frequent the Haymarket. One thing is certain, the shoppers I saw that day visiting Coles were ignorant tight fisted peasants, coming out with their big bags full of expensive garb and not having the common decency to even say "sorry" never mind part with a quid bit, having just spent many pounds on themselves. I hope I never end up out on the street but I know it can happen to anyone all so quickly.
