I've changed the last line - is that better, sorry if calling the town hall offends anyone.

Yes you've 'won' a free holiday. You'll fly to their timeshare complex and stay 'free' in one of the empty flats (self catering of course). You'll be bombarded with timeshare sales efforts. None of the above costs the company anything - and the flight to the resort is paid for by the £150 (?) arrangement fee per person they charge. So it costs them nowt to have you at their mercy for a long weekend. Nuf said.

If you can practice putting the tent up in your garden - then do it, so you don't look so daft on the camp site. Once had a week camping in Skegness - it rained twice. Once for three days and once for four days. Nuf said.

Already invented it - anti sound systems, invented in 1959. Almost exactly as Ken H item above. Now used in sound reduction headphones and even in some cars.

One or two verses of Abide with Me sung out fairly loud usually shifts 'em. Of course they go home and ask why the nutter is always next to me.

So - planner 1 admits that the orginal Summerfield junction design was faulty, both in the right turn from Eccy Road (accidents because of poor sight lines) and the right turn onto Eccy Road (drifting cos of wrong turning radius). He doesn't see how to resolve either with a cheap update and needs to spend 300k of my money on a revamp which doesn't work. The right turn onto Eccy Road is still the same apparently. He also admits the lining on the main Eccy Road / Ring Road roundabout doesn't work very well. That means it's dangerous. But nothing is to be done about it. How do you sleep at night? That's not to mention the cheap tarmac which is slippy and has caused at least one death in recent months. Of course putting up 'slippy road' signs sorts that one - er no it doesn't. Idiots the lot of you.

Eat my shorts. Get stuffed. (yourname) sandwich bar.

Er no. It's a 1960's block in Endcliffe area - you knew that didn'tya! I spoke to the bloke on the site gate and he said it was being 'blown down' in the first week of September. I'd like to see it go if we can get a definite date.

Yes, lots of us believe that. Perhaps you could have just moved the obscuring white railings a little bit - too simple...... Yes, placed on the already obscuring white railings and even further blocking the view of oncoming traffic. The main error here was right turning out of Summerfield St towards town. Not a correct radius, and cars in the right lane taking the middle lane of Eccy Road (bus lane is inner lane).

Got my latest contract phone from 4u on Fargate. Found them to be very helpful - even came up to my house with a handful of phones on different 'providers' to see which worked best cos of the awful signal here. Very good too when phone went wonky - however they did just direct me to Carphone next door who have a repair workshop. Very helpful in retaining my stored photos while phone mended. Enough space in the shop to sit down unlike most where you stand up in a camped space. Recall Andy and Steve(?) as top names. I'd go back.

Advert for some firm called MW. I assumed it was there illegally and will be pulled down soon. But, surely it's not approved by the council.

Exactly - they can't do simple common sense adjustments. They have to go overboard to justify doing lots of work and justify sitting out there at Carbrook. To make it even more dangerous they had put up a sign saying 'beware of oncoming traffic' - but the sign actually masked the approaching traffic and made it dangerous. Idiots. The other day the traffic lights at this junction were on green for both directions at the same time - at least for part of the day. Idiots. The traffic going round the back streets, caused by their daft road design, will now give them an excuse for traffic 'calming' / reduction measures in these streets and that's more reasons for them to justify their existence. Idiots. Nuf said.

Yes I remember going to one sprint meeting there - mid 70's. Good day out. Pity we get nowt like that now. Nuf said.

My neighbour is trying to empty our reservoir all by himself - he has a sprinkler going every evening and during the night sometimes. Nuf said.

Just drove past the Baslow end - road closed although no sign of the work at that end yet. So Snake Pass shut, Winnatt's Pass shut, Baslow Road A621 shut, A61 Penistone Road shut, most other roads in the town slowed to a crawl by roadworks and council stupidity. Help - we're trapped in Sheffield. Escape tunnels are being started tonight.

Ref earlier responses - well I thought it was funny Basil. Nuf said.

Indeed, a local millionaire (who owed me money) had the cheek to ask if I'd sponsor his 'holiday' /trek etc. Er, no, my charity donations do not involve giving people like him a free holiday. Nuf said.

Just read the SY Police item posted above. So the police car went through a red light and crashed. Why did it take the police 2 hours and closing a main road just to figure that out? I saw a similar incident - not involving a police car - and the police didn't want to attend (even though an ambulance was needed). One rule for etc............. Nuf said.

I used to give blood until one day in the late 60's when it went a bit wrong. They made a mess of the 'wound' when they bandaged it and blood spurted out onto my hand and the floor; I felt faint. An assistant shoved me back onto the bed and said to lie there until we tell you. Well, an hour later in this quiet corner of the room I wondered why it was so quiet. They had all gone home, and forgotten me. I was locked in the transfusion centre and had to break out - they still owe me that cup of tea (and the biscuit). Guess it'll be cold by now. Haven't been back. Nuf said.

Saturday Evening 18:30 hrs. Just come down Brocco Bank and it looks like roadworks / resurfacing works are about to start at the Ecclesall Road part of Brocco Bank. A few tarmac wagons and a road layer machine are in the side streets. There are lots of 'Road Closed' signs laid about ready to put into the road. Nuf said.

Yes, let them pull out. You're letting 50 people out in one go. That's more than your daily quota of niceness, then you don't have to bother after that. Also, always let old or interesting cars pull out so I can get a good look at them. Nuf said

Frozen orange juice in a 'double pyramid' waxed paper container - were they callled Jubblies?

You folks in Ranmoor / Fulwood would find your Tesco delivery was a little later than normal. There was a Tesco van stuffed into the side of a v nice black Porsche at the Glastone Road lights yesterday evening. (Stopped to find out no serious injuries by the way.)

I suppose the threat of eviction could have led Somerfield to invest less in this store recently. I have no problems with the shop or the staff. V convenient even if not particularly cheap. Nuf said
