I heard there was a murderer loose in Huddersfield.

Be careful...

How remiss of me, my apologies for not replying Dmitri

luckily, Huddersfield is 27 mile away from where I am - Pontefractso far, we only have nutters etc, no murderers yet

Just nutters, eh? That's good to know. I've heard of that Pontefract some way...

oh yus! we have more that our fair shareand it takes the edge off us real ones(well! me anyway)

Sounds like a cool place.

Did the broken bridge ever get fixed? Or is it waiting on a Council meeting?

someone kept nicking the planks and nails

I believe this, if they were your relatives.

a certain boss of Englandgot the towns folk to knock the castle down themselvesas they were fed up of the constant battles, no castle, no fightingI'll bet a lot of mud house got brick walls

That is one cool idea. That'll teach 'em.

Reminds me of when the IRA blew up the Nelson statue in Dublin, back in the 60s, I think it was. I knew some people in Dublin who told me everybody ran out and got a piece - so they couldn't put it back up again.

did someone mention nutters

I saw that. I had to look twice - unbelievable.

I don't think it was the lorry driver's fault, though - it was the fault of whoever designed a cab like that, or those eejits that make subcompact cars...how in the world did that car get there in the first place?

I used to drive a subcompact. My relatives made me get a small SUV when I moved out the city.

Oh, and further proof that youze guys are nuts...

This just in: Somebody in Yorkshire returned a library book, anonymously.

It was 45 years overdue.

I saw that on the TV text news pages

that lorry/car, I'm wondering if it was a set up ?

as the cars tyres weren't shredded off and that for the car to be in that position it couldn't have been hit as such, because the lorry driver would have seen/felt the impact, plus it didn't look dented anywhere

I was wondering that, too, about the car - suspiciously, they just said they were investigting. They also claimed the lorry driver was traumatised.

Inquiring minds want to know here...

notification shall be posted here, as and when info becomes available or it might just disappear in the the void

They'd better tell us. Inquiring minds want to know.

apparently it happened last month and only came to the fore when it came on youtube

Yeah - nobody's safe with those mobile phone cameras now.

I'll be one of the last people on the planet to have a mobile/cell phoneI ain't got one and no intention of getting one
