     Wrote that in a headline today, also got in "Mines a Pint" as a kicker to a memories article.
     
     Last week I wrote a headline calling someone a "snotty cow" and it went through because it was in context, love my job!
     
     The ultimate headline you have to get through mike is "Needles to say, you take drugs"
     I will kiss you if you get that in, or any other Partridge for that matter
     
     We have a whole 2 bags of rock salt left for the next weeks worth of snow for the carpark and the bays, and no bugger has put any of it down for tomorrow.
     It's gonna be fun trying to load a van while trying not to skid down the lovely sloped floor the big wigs put in for us for no reason. Dickheads.

   • Haha, theres very little graffiti in Barnsley, abundance of local characters though, I'll try and find one-
     
     
     quote:

     A CREAM bun slapped on a police officer's head is no laughing matter for Kipper Jackson & it got him banged up for two years. Local character Kipper, Sunday name Kenneth Jackson, denied he was drunk when he coated the copper in cream. A jury did not accept his version that he was balancing the bun on his own head for fun and it accidentally fell. It was Kipper's 73rd appearance in court.
     
     
     Thats a very short version but apparently he squashed it on the policemans head while he was trying to make an arrest on a violent suspect, then a few days later threw another bun at a police car, then claimed he was throwing it to a "friend", who ducked!?!?
     
     Apparently in court he was shaking his fist at the prosecution during their speeches and was making paper aeroplanes as well as wearing a "FREE KIPPER JACKSON" tshirt.
     
     Love it.

   • Now that is snow! A good 6 inches here today.
     
     If I drove to work then I could probably justify a day off as they have practically ran out of grit here too. But as I walk, I haven't really got much of an excuse.

     you need to know where to look mike theyve always had a good scene in Barnsley.
     Fista was / is from Barnsley and more recently the guy who tags John Baxter absolutely everywhere, who had a price on his head from the town council.
     
     
     Ah yes I've seen that! Theres one I see all the way from Sheffield to Barnsley every day called BLOODAXE as well, some of the stuff he has done is in really hard to reach places, kinda wonder how he/she did some of it.
     
     I was thinking of the town centre really, the railway is full of it yes.

   • Choas on the roads this morning.
     
     I left home at 7am and did my usual walk. It was lovely as it was still dark and there was loads of snow about. It was very creepy.

    • The snow is very kindly choosing my days off to get crazy this week.
      
      I'm slightly disappointed that my driving lesson this morning was cancelled though.

    • Yup, definitely more respectable snow this time. Drove sideways a little bit for the first time. Good fun.

    • I've been going into non-dangerous corners thinking 'yeah I'll slide this out a bit, swing it round the corner', but the opposite always happens. End up going straight on instead, haha.

    • Everyone is my office left at 3:30 today, apart from me who got called in to clerk some elses Court as they cried off at 2, meaning I didn't leave til gone 4. I walked out through an empty office after getting changed at my desk because all the other doors were locked.

      In my office, they announced everyone who lived more than 4 miles away could go home... at 10am. 10 o'fucking clock. Never mind the fact that all the forecasts said it was due to stop snowing by lunch time, it was snowing heavily then and the fact that all of our managers live more than 4 miles away had nothing whatsoever to do with the decision.
      This was then compounded by the fact that an awful lot of my colleagues seem to think a mile is about twice as far as it actually is, as the office more or less emptied.
      Muggins here stayed til 3.30, when he and the other honest idiots decided to fuck it off and go home - a journey, I might add, that I achieved with no more difficulty than I have any other night this week.
      Since everyone who went at 10 was told they wouldn't have to make the time up, I'm going to be asking when I'll be getting some time off in lieu. I won't hold my breath.

    • walked to town with my mate so he could sign on.
      The irony was the job centre was empty except for 1 security guard who had to stand there all day and explain that no Jobcentreplus staff had turned up for work.
      Are we expected to believe that out of a staff force of about 30 people not a single one lives within walking distance of West St. ?
      Do people realize snow is just frozen water and not some kind of deadly poisonous quick sand?

    • Just as I'm heading out to deliver it started to snow.
      Luckily it wasnt settling to much and to my surprise, Cattericks roads had been plowed
      Only nearly got stuck once when I tried a 3 point turn to be clever and point down the hill but ended up getting a bit sideways halfway through so thought fuck it and just reversed it all the way back down the road.
      Had that trainee manager with me aswell, when we were sliding she was propper bricking it, we were only going like 2 miles an hour in a cul-de-sac haha
