If it looks like fat, feels like fat, and if you lipo sucked a bit out and tasted it and it tastes like fat, its fat. A person with a lot of it could reasonably be described as being 'fat'. Being fat is not healthy. Lets not avoid the obvious for the sake of being politically correct Does smoking adversley affect your health? Basically, yes. Does being overwight adversley affect your health? Basically, yes Or is the govt spending millions trying to help the nation lose weight misguided?

Clearly the DJ was told to fill in for a couple of minutes but they were due to start at 8.45 and probably started at 8.50. Hardly a delay worth moaning about -
I wouldnt want to be seen to be the one putting a petition together as if these kids are such scratters their parents probably are too and might pay them a home visit...

I suppose it depends on at what point a few trees clumped together become 'woods'. -

Google earthing the site, there is a dual carriage way to the front and agricultural land to the rear. Joining ancient woodlands together (which dont look to even exist at all) sounds like a 'desparately clutching at straws' reason to not develop the site . It's a great site for development, and having been built on before meets the definition of Brownfield Land whether you like it or not- "Land that has been previously developed is known as Brownfield land. Previously developed land is defined in Planning Policy Guidance Document 3 "Housing" (2000) PPG3 as land which "is or was occupied by a permanent structure (excluding agricultural or forestry buildings), and associated fixed surface infrastructure" I suspect you are a local NIMBY -

How much investment has Burngreave had??
theripsaw replied to alex3659's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Burngreave New Deal for Communities was established in 2001 with a £52 million war chest to spend over 10 years. It was aimed at tackling a host of social problems affecting the neighbourhood, which was blighted by crime, poverty and poor educational achievement. Funding went into grants for local businesses, improvements for homes and buildings, youth work and support staff to help youngsters in schools. Over its first few years the programme, overseen by a board of community members, was regarded as a success, ranked “excellent” by the Government. But in 2007, The Star revealed a large amount of money was being spent on administration and sums were paying for community projects and outings, plus a high-specification mobile stage dubbed the ‘Bling Bus’. This year, it emerged Sorby House - former DSS offices on Spital Hill given a £4.5 million makeover - were in danger of being closed and sold because too few businesses were locating there to cover costs. The Government insisted all £4.5 million spent on the building would have to be returned if it was sold, so Sheffield Council - liable for the bill as BNDfC had run out of money - decided to step in and take it over. John Clark, executive director of Burngreave New Deal when controversy broke in 2007-8, stepped down and became chief executive of Aire Valley Homes. Sheffield Council auditors criticised Mr Clark for recommending the appointment of Bill Husband as his interim deputy, on a salary equivalent to £110,000-a-year, even though he had been sacked 12 months previously for gross misconduct at a New Deal agency in London. -

Having commuted from Sheff to Leeds for 6 years now by both car and train, i finally settled on the train as the better of two evils. Good luck finding a car share though. Im sure there's a web site somewhere that matches people who want to car share.

Should people have the right to be paid their wages in cash?
theripsaw replied to chem1st's topic in General Discussions
Imagine how much cash Tesco would have to get from the bank with c.260,000 employees! Probably a close to a billion a month -
Suppose, but a fair few real ale lovers will go to other nice places where they can get a similar product at substantially less- irrespective of how wealthy they are. Nobody likes to feel ripped off, and £3.70 for a pint of bitter in Sheffield is a rip off

Ouch 3.70 for a pint of their own stuff? Clearly priced to keep the riff raff and anyone else who doesnt want to feel shafted out!
