  1. On August 21st the Yorkshire Wildlife Park in conjunction with British Naturism, are holding a sponsored streak to raise money for the Yorkshire Wildlife Park Foundation. Participants, who must be over 18, will be sponsored to run, jog, walk or amble round a special course at the YWP. There are more details at http://ywpfoundation.com/bareallforpolarbears/ Polar Bear masks will be provided if you wish to wear one to avoid recognition..

  2. Put in a few capital letters and spacing thus: Marys Walk, St Johns Road, Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom, S2 5JD
  3. Cricket Inn Road taken from the roundabout looking Eastwards. The 90 degree bend is now redundant as the main road goes up the hill cutting the corner.
  4. I've received this email: Summer is finally with us. A good time then, to go on holiday and get the camera out. You could be enjoying a break in London, taking photos of the Eye, then maybe some statues along the river Thames. You upload your shots to Facebook, Instagram, Flickr… Job done. But every day, people elsewhere in Europe are breaking copyright law to do just the same thing. And on Thursday 9th July we could all could move one step closer to that too. In the UK we have a common sense exception to the usual copyright rules that lets us paint or photograph copyrighted works, like sculptures and buildings, without needing special permission. It’s called Freedom of Panorama. In France though, where that exception doesn't exist, you can’t even share a photo you've taken of the Eiffel Tower lit up at night to Facebook and Flickr, because the light show is copyrighted. MEPs are about to vote on a report on copyright reform that's trying to help the EU move towards better copyright laws. The report proposes introducing UK-style Freedom of Panorama across the EU. But instead of sharing our rights with everyone, some MEPs are trying to completely remove Freedom of Panorama from the report. Their proposal is that items in public should always need authorisation from authors for any commerical use - the direct opposite of Freedom of Panorama. Commerical use can be very unclear, and can even include sharing your photos on sites like Facebook or Flickr. On Thursday MEPs could vote in favour of future reform of Freedom of Panorama. It’s all in the balance. And you can make the difference. Ask your MEP to vote to support our Freedom of Panorama: https://www.openrightsgroup.org/campaigns/protect-freedom-of-panorama This exception is useful over and over again. Let’s make sure we can all enjoy art in public! Influence the vote today.
  5. Maybe there was a full stop, but the Joker ate it thinking it was a currant.
  6. Have you tried sending each photo in a separate email?
  7. How about somewhere along the canal? Stick the camera on a tripod and shoot the band looking over a bridge wall. Take a few shots and then change the order (Tom, Dick Harry in shot one, then Harry Tom Dick in shot two.) Use the second order for the reflection. With a bit of image processing trickery this could make an interesting album cover.
  8. I've seen quite a few signs in S5 that claim to be part of S4.
  9. I've found a great place for computer repairs and upgrades. It's Gee Wizz IT Solutions located in Banners Building, Attercliffe. I took my computer in for some essential maintenance and it's now running like a dream and I'm back on here again. So take a bow Dannio. Many thanks from Andrew. p.s. The cafe on the ground floor's pretty good as well!
  10. Possibly 23rd March. The pool closed 8th December for essential work and it is expected to remain closed for 14 weeks.
  11. Considering that this is an area of high affluence, it's surprising how many of the kids are unable to walk to school.
  12. Green Hall locksmith http://www.greenhall-locksmiths.co.uk __________________ G & M Locksmiths 0114 2838143 There within the hour
  13. It was more likely to be the police helicopter; the air ambulance wouldn't be hovering for that amount of time especially as the hospital is so close.
  14. I bought a copy from the Royal last week and can recommend the CD.
  15. Buying a new printer might be a cheaper option than repairing.
  16. You could cook pizzas on it if it's the right size.
  17. Take a look at British Newspaper archive to see if there was any record in the paper. It might give you some info regarding in which church the wedding took place. Some of the church records are in the local archives.
  18. Stranger on the Shore was originally written to mark the birth of his daughter Jenny and was called "Jenny". When the BBC wanted to use it for their TV series, the name was changed.
  19. Wasn't it William Warfield in this movie?
  20. Tiger Works may or may not be haunted, but many believe that Huttons Buildings (corner of west street and Orange Street) may be.
  21. Is this the story?: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2791082/parents-claim-children-terrorised-gangs-roma-slovak-pupils-teachers-afraid-deal-issue.html
