Unrecordings Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 brilliant - reminded me very much of the wonderful book Musrum by Eric Thacker (from near Rotherham) & illustrated by Anthony Earnshaw (RIP from Bradford) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Ive just read the Sheffield page and this made me laugh out loud. Park hill flats, created as a working class fortress against Margaret Thatcher's evil reign and armies of flying monkeys Ref: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 This is my favourite bit DISCLAIMER: Other Sheffield forum sites are available.

CheekyBandit Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 And posters with over 4000 posts have no lives or friends - have to strongly disagree with this ! Total Posts: 3,262 So you have fewer than 4000 posts and have no life or friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtainspy Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Not many other cities have a large web forum where people can join and discuss issues relevant to the local area. Unfortunately, Sheffield does, and Sheffield Forum is the name of this entity. It is usually inhabited by people with no lives, and anyone with over 4,000 posts are real life wasters and spend their days here as they have no friends to speak of. Not real friends, anyway. The site is run by a bloke called Geoff. Nobody seems to know his surname: Geoff Boycott, being from Yorkshire himself, has refused to comment on speculation. Moderators on the site include (but not limited to) the Führer, Pol Pot, Robert Mugabe, Fidel Castro and all members of the current government of Turkmenistan. These moderator generally rule with an iron fist, deleting any comments they personally don't agree with (if they break the House Rules or not), without giving any explanations for doing so. Regular topics and phenomena include: Cyclists jumping red lights Old people falling through windows and/or smelling Buses (cleanliness, poor routes, high fares, seat allocation or just plain lack of buses to moan about because they are late) Reports of the Google Street View car, Motorbikers in woods, specifically in an area of Sheffield known locally as High Green, which in 1989 attempted to attach itself to Barnsley, but without success The "I'm not a racist.......but... " thread. Panic over the non-existent threat of Swine Flu Obsessive criticism of Nick Clegg, the Lib/Dems, the coalition etc. by the same two posters (possible just one) who repeatedly post the same thread once a day, with the words cunningly rearranged. Lively debate over the merits of two organisations masquerading as football teams, who ply their trade in the second tier of said organisational structure. Sightings of UFO's that turn out to be Chinese lanterns, Sightings of Chinese lantern's that turn out to be UFOs, The "What was/is that loud bang/siren/screaming" (delete as appropriate) noise in suburb X at time Y thread, Enquiries into the activities of the emergency services ("What are the police doing on X Street?"), as well as the flight patterns of the police helicopter. Moans about children and their activities Requests for (gay friendly) drag bars. How do I get a bus from X to Y (ignoring the many other sites on the Net devoted to such information) "Why can't I post an ad?!". Even though it tells the user they need 5 posts first. The blatant promoting of businesses by first time posters. The purchasing of greyhounds ----- this is so very true..... (all of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
