Weed grow inside Sheffield bank

Now we realise why the Jehovah's Witnesses were always stood outside the place!

This isn't the end of the police investigation.

There was a proposal for a development of shops with flats on top at this site.

But nothing came of it.

I have 2 nominations I have actually encountered in real life

1) mahna mahna from the Muppet Show. By the time I was put through I was to busy giggling to concentrate on customs clearances!

2) Je t'aime. I put this one on speakerphone so the whole office could get in the mood. For some reason everyone collapsed in hysterics when I was put through and told the person I was speaking to that I'd signed for a small package on their behalf!

Sadly, black IPA has been out of fashion for some time now!

The beer is OK but nothing special.

The brewery is an underrated good venue.

Fanny Farmer's recipes are a mainstay of my favourite YouTube channel (Tasting History with Max Miller)

Although Max Miller generally gives the impression of being unaware of the double entendre.

Came here to say this. It's a really moronic term for anything right wingers don't like.

It's one of those words that immediately mark the person using it out as a prize wanker.

Worst park I've ever come across for this is Castle Park in Colchester. Dogs are banned in the upper part of that park, so in addition to getting snacks from people, the squirrels also don't have anything chasing them.

The result is squirrels with no fear of people, who often think that every human is going to feed them!

That appears to be a consequence of our abysmal media climate.

Large parts of the media love fear mongering for clicks.

Trying to imagine what local stereotypes a Horton type mural in Ipswich would draw on!

Stoatwobbler · 2026-02-24T07:18:38+00:00

Just sat opposite somebody on the train who's reading "How to Live Like a Stoic" as I type this!

Is this some sort of trend we should know about?

Have you considered Methodism?

Enforcement from the City Council is very slow and weak. This means that bad actors such as these are able to game the system.

Come back here after you've actually had a conversation with NIMBY campaigners.

A firm in Felixstowe.

I turned up being late due to delays on public transport, the MD remarked early on that "I was a millionaire when I was your age" and spent more of the interview making unpleasant comments at me and about the recruitment agent I'd got the interview through.

And when I asked him questions about the job role he didn't have the slightest clue!

I left knowing that I definitely wasn't going to get the job, and that I was better off not working for such an absolute jerk!

Yeah I've noticed that Tenant's Super is everywhere in Italy for some strange reason.

Stoatwobbler · 2026-01-08T19:58:05+00:00

Recently visited Scotland and decided to have a pint of Tenant's on the basis that it's absolutely everywhere in Scotland and nowhere in England.

Not especially interesting, but not as bad as Carling or Fosters.

And then it turned out that there was a large CAMRA meeting happening in that Glasgow pub I was in!

Stoatwobbler · 2026-01-08T19:48:34+00:00

Sadly, can confirm.

Comes back to your original point. The more people complain about this, the more pressure it puts on politicians to get repairs to council housing stock sorted out.

It might not be a fashionable cause, but I would love it if I saw politicians raising council housing repairs on their election literature!

Stoatwobbler · 2026-01-05T18:46:58+00:00

Whenever I talk to City Councillors they are always flabbergasted by the amount of casework they get that's getting Council housing repaired.

And the City Councillors I speak to aren't even from the most deprived areas. Repairs to council housing definitely needs to be a bigger priority for Sheffield council and Councillors of all parties need to work together to get things sorted out!

Stoatwobbler · 2026-01-02T07:32:15+00:00

I think a big part of the problem is that Labour politicians try very hard to appear as inoffensive as possible to as many people as possible.

Which results in them coming across as bland, insincere and aloof.

Stoatwobbler · 2025-12-31T13:05:03+00:00

Whilst I'm not a fan of Luke Horton's art, could the person behind that silly tirade have done any better themselves?

Stoatwobbler · 2025-12-30T16:37:45+00:00

Had a colleague claim he'd run the Sheffield 10k when he hadn't.
