gneighbour Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hi Sid Looks interesting but have you got links to any sites that don't use white print on a black background - they really hurt my eyes, and always give me the impression of sites produced by rank amateurs. I hate those kinds of sites too -- it seems to be almost mandatory for anything gory or supernatural. Top tip is to highlight the text you want to read, which generally turns it to something a bit easier like blue on white. Mind you I rarely have the patience to do this for long.

Guest Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I remember hearing the stories of Spring-heeled Jack when I was little. Scared the life out of me. Apparently he used to leap around where Park Hill is now, and off towards the Cholera Grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasilRathbon Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Apparently Spring-heeled Jack works for the council now, leaping great distances to check whether people are putting the correct rubbish in their bins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
