Yeh Family Guy is brilliant. I used to hate it but watched a whole series whilst staying at a cottage in Wales when it pissed it down all day and I've loved it since.
yeah you lot need to turn off your computers every now and then,
simpsons movie was shit, altho i keep singing spider pig, spider pig at stupid times (like bus stop ques)
hey stef17, do you really not like leicester or were you joking? its ok if u dont, i live there and am sick of the place, thats why im trying to join the army, id rather risk my life in a warzone than waste my time trying to find a decent niteclub.
seeing as the population of the east midlands is approximately 1.5 million greater than that of wales, does anyone else sometimes feel we don't get the attention we deserve other here?
Its more than 1.5 mill isnt it? The population of Nottinghamshire is over 1 million on its own? Or does the east midlands only cover certain areas of a county?
edit: oops read it wrong 1.5 mill more than wales i see!
Whos going down to the Riverside Festival tomorrow then for the fireworks display.
Dan if you want to try out your new camera it's well worth it the fireworks are amazing.
Im not taking mine because I don't have a memory card and can only take 3 photos at a time at the moment.
Just got back from Riverside Festival. The fireworks were brilliant and the general atmosphere with the jazz band and everything was a huge buzz.
Who else went?
i was there! spent all day there pretty much - nice to get out in the sun, some good bands as well. i wasn't really feeling the dadrock stage tho, lol.
The bands were pretty good especially the one before the fireworks.
I heard a really funny comment from the crowd during the fireworks display "With all these fireworks the police won't hear people being shot in the meadows".
Bit of a stupid comment but it was funny at the time.
Just got back from the cinema. Watched Transformers and it was, well err, crap to be honest.
Reminded me of Power Rangers. Got some good shots of L.A in it though.
Well people might be interested in, as sir terry wogan dubbed it, "The Northampton Lighthouse"
At 128 metres the Northampton Express Lift Tower it is the tallest building in our region followed by the Cardinal Telephone Exchange building in Liecester at 84 metres. (According to skyscrapernews.com)
Well Chesterfields part of east mids, but its nearer to sheffield so which are should it be ?
It never going to get into BIG league of 100m+
The crooked spire is probably the tallest it will get. But several areas are to be redeveloped. The former Dema Glass site being the most prominent, due to have the new football stadium and leisure or retail adjacent to it.
Without wanting to have a battle over Chesvegas, it is surely more closely linked to the Sheffield City Region than anywhere else?
I have many friends in Chesterfield and they ALL work in Sheffield, along with the S postcode, Radio Sheffield being its BBC station, the Sheffield based newspaper that has a circulation in Chezzy, shared local sporting leagues etc.. maybe I'm wrong?
remember, that sculpture which will go over the M1 motorway and let people know they are in the east midlands
Dont know how to paste images (perhaps someone will help me...) but these images on this page show just what the experience will be like, using lifelike annimation:
