Yes, nice pubs...shame about the rest of the stinking, festering hellhole. You haven't stopped in Sheffield for longer than is strictly necessary have you?

Dove And Rainbow, it's called. And no, no I've never been there for more than four or five hours at a time.Visit the Vote UK Discussion Forum!Comment

I've had 3 days there once. Never has Hull looked so glorious on return

We all have our cross to bear
The psychological trauma is still there. Not only that, but a few months ago I had the misfortune to have to go in Sheffield's equivalent of 'LA's' on a stag night

Actually it was a two day event. The official conference on saturday and the city tour in the afternoon next day for those interested (enough time for people to sober up)Originally posted by Sagacious Dolphin
I can just imagine us all walking around looking for a museum in Reading.
When we did Leeds Provost, Buck et al got knackered just walking from one pub to the next.
Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

Yeah, that's the one. Well it was more just to be there, it doesn't look good when someone you have been friends with for almost 15 years doesn't turn up...Speaking of Erith:

ey ey... we'll have less of this , abusing the GREAT Yorkshire cities. Leeds is the 3rd biggest City in England, and Sheffield is not far behind, with an absolutly massive range of clubs.
I can tolerate bristol i guess, i met my current long term girlfriend there... the cider doesnt do much for me tho

Further to the last post,England steel industry basically was Sheffield... one of the most productive cities in the whole country in the Early 1900's , like one of the Civ cities producing 200 sheilds
.
On it's borders with the magnificent,glorious,specatular town of Rotherham is also Meadowhall, one of the best shopping centre's in England. Sheffield has many entertainment places. Sheffield unfortunatly does have very poor football teams, however good football lies close by in Rotherham, with yorkshire's 2nd best team - Rotherham United Football Club.

Well my choice for Creative Writing is bascially either Aberystwyth or Warrick. Personally I'm going for the former as it seems to be a nice place, the idea of a town almost entirely opoulated by uni students is rather appealing and I appreciate the irony. Besides... who the **** want's to go to Warrick?Originally posted by *End Is Forever*
You do realise just how far Aberystwyth is from anywhere, don't you?A witty quote proves nothing. - VoltaireComment

There is a museum directly opposite the pub we were in last time, for anyone interested.
I'll probably stay in the pub myself...yadaComment

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
