At your age, not very far 

[Barratt]

The people I know/climb with seem to be of the same mind.

No one can say the works don't do a great job, we are really very lucky to have a facility like this in Sheff. Add in the quality and regularity of setting it must come accross as extremely selfish to post negative comments. However, the nature of the problem, or rather my problem, is that it spoils the experience and puts me off going, especially of an evening.

I'd like to offer some sort of solution, maybe stricter supervision by parents (probably tried already), permanent staff member in the kiddies area or do what every other kiddies play area has and put a fence round it - major structural/financial implications aside of course!

Anyhow, keep up the good work!

When it's really busy it's not just kids wandering about underneath people, I've had more problems with teenagers / adults not paying attention to what's going on above them. Presumably this is a problem at any wall with that type of design / areas. I don't go when it's really busy.

How about some warning signs featuring a pictogram of a Dunnesque figure falling onto a smaller figure and some amusing wording like "risk of crushing" ?

I've found that taking my shirt off prevents anyone from coming anywhere near me.

  Do you think thats a visual or chemical effect?

[lagerstarfish]

visual

the stench of stale beer and urine actually reduces when I take my clothes off

[Jaspersharpe]

The wheezing and farting also help.

Sod the free tea, can I have a free bike to ride to the Works?

On a more serious note, the kids running around playing hide and seek were a fuckin pain last night to the point where John from the Clinic had to tell one of them to come out from hiding under his fold out table.......

An anecdote along the lines of 'Cycling long distances to the works to get a free cuppa and chocolate bar...' and ways to cheat...

When I was a stoodent in Leeds, I'd quite often have a pre/post Almscliff/Caley fry up at the Otley cafe (Bridge St Cafe I believe it is really called- who's breakfast has only gone up from £1.95 to £2.95 in 18 years...) and its also a famous cyclists cafe.. 2 or three times when I was there, you could hear the distant jangling of jewelry and Jimmy Saville, sorry, Sir Jimmy would roll up on his road bike, fully lycra/ron hilled up, go and get a cuppa and a bacon roll and sit out in the sun being friendly to all and sundry. Good on him I used to think - still out on the bike at his age (he was high 60's then..).

Three years later, the then MrsT's house mates boyfriend was from Otley, and over a few beers I was relaying this tale to him. He used to live around the corner from the cafe, and scoffed at me - "pah, he used to park up a transit around the corner, get his bike out the back and cycle the 200m to the cafe"... 

[Jaspersharpe]

I've heard that before. Good on him even more for blagging it!

And any excuse for.........



 

[Falling Down]

  I fucking love that 

[Jaspersharpe]

Whenever I am having a difficult moment I will watch this clip.

I can not even explain why I find this so funny.

Its truly has an X factor.

I fucking love that 

Me too.

Naughty, naughty     The talentless twat is a national treasure you know 

[grimer]

Didn't he literally invent DJing?

[Jaspersharpe]

Yes.

Oh, stop fuckin' preaching Slacker's!  I admitted my guilt several posts back and yes, i'm evill through and through.  However, let he who is without sin etc etc........ 

Slackers does his bit - when he drives out to the Plantation he eases parking problems by rolling his car off the road and parking it in a ditch

That "When Louis Met Jimmy" episode was great

Indeed. When he was telling him about dishing out beatings to unruly cunts in the club and Louis was getting quite uncomfortable. Quality.

Did you ever see that photo of Jimmy with Peter Sutcliffe and Frank Bruno?

Disturbing

That team would sort out the parking at The Works - and form the basis of a good crime fighting team series

If kids are causing problems just bob over to the desk and tell the members of staff on the desk and we'll be happy to sort it, just if it's busy its hard for us to pick up on it. Help us and we can help you
