  • Salmon Students.

    I attended day release courses from school, for various trades, plumbing, electrical etc. One such course was at a technical college called Salmon Pastures for bricklaying. None of my fellow students were salmon, although I have known cleverer salmon. Said students had a particular dislike for anyone who wanted to learn, and I was one Read more

  • Sheffield City On the Move (Backwards)

    I remember the mantra of Sheffield councillor’s years ago begging for votes “ Sheffield city on the move” Well its moved alright, backwards.

  • Bad Eggs

    Despite the following bit of fun, I really am quite good at cooking eggs. To me it’s an art, everything has to be finished at the same time, toast done, table set, tea made and poured. I remember the first time we had goose eggs, the lady at the campsite shop told us 20 minutes Read more

    I’m a pensioner I don’t do expensive! Ok so I’ve had a bit of fun with this, with not much time to do it in. Been to hospital, came back home a bit low, so a bit of self therapy was called for. Actually finances are not quite as bad as I make out we Read more

  • Dylan and the Brontosaurus Burger

    My favourite food when I was a kid was brontosaurus burgers, you can’t get them now of course brontosaurus are extinct, as I will be soon. I remember also someone saying “Try Ceratops” but I didn’t like it. Talking of food, I have been compiling a list of food Bob Dylan my like. It has Read more
