Weekly Wit With...

ONCE IN A ALBERT LIFETIME 2012 SNODGRASS Once In A Lifetime is an unforgettable UK tour that will feature the crème de la crème of 70s superstars and hit singles from the likes of pop icons David Cassidy, Leo Sayer, Hot Chocolate and Smokie.

The tour will stop off at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield on Friday 16th November. Tickets priced £38.50 (booking fee may apply) will go on sale to the general public on Friday April 20th at 9am in person at the Arena Box Office, by phone on 0114 256 5656 or online at www.motorpointarena.co.uk.

All four artists have had 55 top ten hits and over 200 million record sales between them. This is a once in a lifetime tour – the only time all four of these seminal acts will perform on the same stage together!

David Cassidy From television to recording and record-breaking concert tours and from Broadway to Las Vegas production shows, David Cassidy has made his mark and been lauded with awards and nominations ranging from Grammy’s to Emmy’s, Performer of the Year, and many more. David has certainly proven that it is talent that keeps people coming to shows, turning on the television, and buying records.

Leo Sayer Leo Sayer almost needs no introduction. He is held in great esteem as a live performer and recording artist by all age groups - from 6 to 60. This is as much due to his appearing famously with the Muppets, the Wiggles and on the Charlie’s Angels Soundtrack, as the countless hit songs he has written and recorded throughout his 40 plus years career.

In the international music charts there have been more than twenty top ten singles and five top ten albums in Leo Sayer’s illustrious recording career.

Add to this the hits written for Roger Daltrey, Cliff, Three Dog Night, Tina Turner, Gene Pitney, Jennifer Warnes, and both Stella and Dolly Parton. It proves his prowess as an internationally acclaimed and talented songwriter.

Hot Chocolate In 1970 Hot Chocolate, with the help of record producer Mickie Most, began releasing tracks that became hits, such as “Love is Life”, “Emma”, “You Could Have Been a Lady”, and “I Believe in Love”.

It was in the disco era of the mid-1970s that Hot Chocolate became a big success. A combination of high production standards, the growing confidence of the main songwriting team of Wilson and Brown, and tight harmonies enabled them to secure further big hits like “You Sexy Thing” and “Every 1’s a Winner”.

Smokie With chart-topping hits like Living Next Door to Alice, Lay Back in the Arms of Someone and If You Think You Know How to Love Me, and constant tours of the UK and Europe, the internationally successful British pop group, Smokie is one of the most popular bands in the world today.

Smokie first got together at school in Yorkshire in the late 60s. After going through various names and styles, they signed with Mickie Most’s then ultrahot RAK label and found themselves chart bound.

Songs like If You Think You Know How To Love Me, Don’t Play Your Rock’n’Roll To Me, It’s Your Life and Oh Carol (all Top 10 entries) became radio staples and gave Smokie their ticket to travel the world.

The Once In A Lifetime 2012 tour will stop off at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield on Friday 16th November. Tickets priced £38.50 (booking fee may apply) will go on sale to the general public on Friday April 20th at 9am in person at the Arena Box Office, by phone on 0114 256 5656 or online at www. motorpointarena.co.uk.

After the death of two horses at last weeks Grand National, a leading horse trainer has come out and said that racehorses have health care on a par with humans.

I have to agree because when my mother in law slipped and broke a hip I had her shot.

I knocked on my neighbours door and said, “My son was just about to cut the grass but he can’t seem to operate the lawnmower properly, could I borrow yours?”

“Yeah, sure” he replied.

I said, “Great, tell him to hurry up, I’ve got friends coming round for a BBQ in an hour.”

My mate said to me, “Have you ever thought about just packing a suitcase, leaving everything behind and starting again somewhere new?”

I said, “There’s no way I could do that!”

He said, “Why, because you love your wife and kids?”

I said, “No, I don’t have a suitcase.”

Today my wife was making a cake and she said “Oh no” then she called me into the room, so in I went and she said, “I forgot to get an ingredient, would you mind going down to Tesco and getting me a can of evaporated milk?”. “Go Away!”, I said back, “I’m not falling for that, when I was fifteen my uncle sent me to B&Q for a glass hammer I was there three hours looking for it....evaporated milk, what kind of idiot do you think I am!”

Wisdom.The peacock has an associations with the Resurrection.The Hindi say that peacocks have the feathers of angels, the voice of the Devil and the walk of a thief.

The Crow - if you see a crow it means changes are coming for you. The God Odin had crows named Hugin and Muninn - Hugin is to meditate - Munnin is to remember. The crow was originally white but Apollo the Sun God cursed him and turned his plumage black.

The Robin - this cute little bird is a toughie and always chases other birds from my garden.

The robin is God’s messenger. He got his red breast because he stood beneath Jesus as he was crucified and the blood dripped onto his breast.

If you see a robin then a message is being sent to you to tell you your deceased ones are okay and safe and well. I find the Robin a very friendly bird - he sits on my fence waiting for his lug worms.

CONSULTATION UPDATE ON THE IMPORTANCE CARD FRAUD NEW INITIATIVE THE FUTURE OF SHEFFIELD OF WEARING YOUR TELEPHONE SCAM CITY COUNCILʼS TWO WILL IMPROVE CARE4YOU RESOURCE ALARM BUTTON Following the article last week about ATM ACCESS TO fraud, the Fraud Squad Officers have asked CENTRES In January City Wide Care Alarms Sheffield 50+ to raise awareness of the (CWCA) were informed of an INSURANCE FOR following scam.

At a full Council meeting on 4 April, a unfortunate case where a Sheffield The card fraud telepone scam is a new variation decision was made to refer the petition had left her emergency button on an old style scam that involves people being objecting to the closure of the resource OLDER CUSTOMERS pensioner hanging on a wall, out of reach. telephone by fraudsters and duped into handing centres at Sevenfields and Hazelhurst http://www.abi.org.uk/Media/ Releases/2012/04/New_initiative_will_ improve_access_to_insurance_for_ older_customers.aspx Older customers will find it easier to get motor and travel insurance under an agreement between the ABI, the Government and the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA).

Under the agreement, which comes into force on 6 April, if an insurer or insurance broker is unable to offer cover to an older motorist or traveller due to the fact that their age is above any upper age limits they have, then they will automatically refer them to an alternative provider who can meet their needs or to a dedicated signposting service, such as BIBA’s ‘Find a Broker’ service or website.

All ABI members will adhere to the agreement as a condition of membership and all BIBA brokers will also undertake to comply with this agreement. Non ABI and BIBA members will follow the agreement on a voluntary basis.

The ABI will publish annual aggregate data showing claims costs under motor and travel insurance broken down by age ranges. BIBA will publish details of the enquiries to the BIBA ‘Find a Broker’ service.

Home Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities Theresa May said: “I fully support the work the Association of British Insurers and the British Insurance Brokers Association are doing to make it easier for older people to get motor and travel insurance and provide greater transparency on how decisions are made.

“This is a great example of businesses working with government to tackle discrimination.”

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Mark Hoban, said: “It can be difficult for older people to find the right car and travel insurance. We’ve worked closely with the ABI and BIBA to make it easier for older people to find the right policy for them. We will keep a close eye on this to make sure the insurance industry meets its commitments.”

Otto Thoresen, ABI Director General, said: “The insurance industry wants to ensure that older people get the best possible insurance deal, by having as wide access to the motor and travel insurance markets as possible. This agreement shows how the industry can work with Government to increase access to insurance, improve transparency, while preserving insurers’ ability to assess and price risk fairly.”

Eric Galbraith, BIBA Chief Executive, added: “This new agreement is a great solution to helping older people more easily access suitable insurance protection. BIBA’s ‘Find a Broker’ helpline and website can help older people to achieve the cover they need, giving them the peace of mind to go on holiday and drive their car into their later years”

She fell over but despite being conscious, she couldn’t reach it and so lay on the floor all night before a neighbour raised the alarm.

She was rushed to hospital but as the blood supply to her legs had been cut whilst she lay on the floor, her injuries were very serious.

She died in hospital a fortnight later.

Her nephew was convinced that if she had the button with her and pressed it as soon as she fell, it would have saved her life.

CWCA reminds all customers to not only keep their alarm button with them at all times, but also to test the system by pressing the mobile alarm button at least once a month.

If you visit people who have a care alarm system and you see the mobile alarm button not being worn but hanging on the wall or a chair etc, please remind them of how important it is for them to keep it with them at all times, in and around their home, so they are able to use it if they have an emergency.

There are a number of different ways people can keep their button with them, including worn on the wrist or clipped to clothing as well as worn around the neck on a cord. The latest button can also be attached to a key ring.

If you would like to know more about City Wide Care Alarms, please ring: 0800 013 0980

over their debit or credit card and revealing their PIN. A fraudster rings you, claiming to be from your bank, saying their systems have spotted a fraudulent payment on your card or that your card is due to expire and needs replacing.

You may be asked to ring back using the phone number on the back of your card - which further convinces you the call is genuine.

However, the criminal keeps the line open at their end so, when you make the call, you are unknowingly connected straight back to the fraudster.

Then, by seeming to offer assistance, the fraudster tries to gain your trust. In most cases you are asked to ‘cancel’ your existing card or ‘activate’ or ‘authorise’ a replacement card by keying your PIN into your phone’s handset.

The fraudster then poses as a bank representative to pick up your card from your home, sometimes giving you a replacement card, which is a fake. In some cases a genuine courier company is hired to pick up the card, which the victim has been asked to place into an envelope.

Once they have your card and PIN the fraudster uses them to spend your money.

A variation of the scam involves the fraudster ringing a prospective victim and claiming to be from the police – again with the aim of going to the victim’s home to collect the card and PIN. What can I do to avoid this scam?

Remember this advice: Your bank or the police will NEVER ring you and tell you that they are coming to your home to pick up your card, so never hand it over to anyone who comes to collect it.

Your bank will NEVER ask you to authorise anything by entering your PIN into the telephone.

NEVER share your PIN with anyone – the only times you should use your PIN is at a cash machine or when you use a shop’s chip and PIN machine.

What should I do if I think I may have been the victim of a fraud or scam?

If you think you have been the victim of a fraud or scam of this nature you should call your bank or card company immediately.

to a Healthier Communities and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee.

This means that the proposals were not heard at Cabinet on 11 April as anticipated, but will be heard at a later date, to be agreed. Scrutiny will now look at the proposals and all the consultation responses and Cabinet will consider any recommendations made by the Scrutiny committee prior to making its final decision.

If you want to see a copy of the full consultation report and haven’t already asked, it can be downloaded at www. sheffield.gov.uk/resourcecentres, or a copy can be requested by emailing practicedevelop@sheffield.gov.uk, or calling 2734119.

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT NOW AVAILABLE! Some like it hot. However for those that don’t, we have introduced a Heat Detector as part of the range of additional sensors available via the CWCA service.

This can be used in rooms where a smoke detector would normally be unsuitable, e.g. kitchens or in particularly humid environments. The unit raises an alarm when the temperature at the sensor reaches 58C and can provide additional protection against the risk of fires.

The price for the Heat Detector will be 50p + VAT per week.

Obviously we cannot add the details of this new equipment into our existing brochures, but our web site will be updated to reflect these changes and they will be included in the new brochures when these are re-printed in future.

If you know someone who you think may benefit from any of the new equipment mentioned above, please ring 0800 013 0980

ʻSPRING FLOWERS – TAKE CENTRE STAGEʼ WITH CORNUS KOUSA AND AMELANCHIER

Spring has sprung and what heralds brighter evenings and milder weather better than trees laden with beautiful blossom?

Trees in bloom can be a stunning sight that can brighten up our dreariest grey streets turning them into confetti strewn aisles of white and pink. In the garden, Spring blossoming trees provide instant cheer and a romantic backdrop – such a stunning view from the kitchen window makes a sink full of washing up less of a daunting task!

Our plant choices this month focus on spring flowering shrubs or trees and our pick of the bunch are Amelanchier lamarckii and Cornus Kousa. These two gorgeous specimens give year-round value to the gardener and particularly come into their own when space is at a premium. For this reason, both choices work especially well in the smaller garden.

Amelanchier lamarckii – also known as Snowy Mespilus, Serviceberry or Juneberry is a real sensation in spring, the branches of this small tree are absolutely bursting with white, star shaped blossom and new copper foliage. In summer the leaves turn a vibrant green and the branches become heavy with delicious fruit before bursting into vibrant flame and red

in autumn. Even in winter, this beauty gives us an attractive striated grey and black trunk.

Add to its obvious ornamental appeal the fact that the British Beekeepers’ Association (BBKA) has added it to a list of ‘bee-friendly’ plants then I’m sure you’ll agree that all in all this wonderful plant is a fabulous investment for any garden.

The Cornus family, otherwise known as the dogwoods, is a genus of around 65 species of mostly deciduous shrubs and small trees. The Cornus Kousa var. Chinesis is a small tree of great beauty its inconspicuous flowers are offset with showy, highly decorative bracts 4-6cm long in spring and summer. For the uninitiated, bracts are a modified leaf growing just below a flower or flower stalk. They are flower-like and attractive. Cornus kousa is a tapering, deciduous tree with foliage that is dark green in summer, turning deep auburnruby in autumn. The dogwood genus is used widely in herbal medicine and in china is prescribed for kidney and bladder disorders.

Indeed, dependant on the type of dogwood and the location, this plant has been used throughout history in numerous forms to provide herbal cures for many ailments.

These two shrubs are complementary to one another and both Amelanchier and Cornus will partner effectively with other garden trees including cherries and crab apples. You can also add to the visual complexity and excitement by growing spring climbers such as Clematis Montana through the shrubs, using their stems as supports to create a visually arresting piece if plant-theatre.

A pop-up Kama Sutra book, a working commode, vintage accordion and an urn (complete with ashes) have made the latest list of unusual items donated to PDSA charity stores, closely followed by a used toilet seat and false teeth.

Each year the charity reveals the most outstanding and unexpected goods donated by supporters in its famous pink collection sacks. Among the regular mix of clothing, books and household items, the veterinary charity received some outstanding items in 2011 – from the exotic and highly valuable to the downright strange.

But the eye-opening nature of these donations cannot mask an increasingly serious struggle to acquire enough high-quality goods. PDSA has seen an alarming 25% year-on-year drop in items donated to its UK-wide chain of 170-plus stores. This comes at a time when demand for its veterinary services continues to soar, due to the economic downturn which leads more households to rely on the charity.

The top ten most unusual items received by PDSA in 2011 were: 1. Pop-up Kama Sutra (Plymouth store) 2. Commode (Barry) 3. False teeth (West Ealing) 4. Used toilet seat (Bridgwater) 5. Rubber pants (Eastleigh) 6. Urn with ashes (Street) 7. Brand new Kindle (Hull) 8. Windsurfing equipment (Bognor Regis) 9. Vintage accordion (Leicester) 10. Double bass (Taunton) To find your local PDSA store, visit www.pdsa.org. uk/findus.

VOICE OF THE NIGHTINGALE RADIO NIGHTINGALE

by Mel Jaques

Radio Nightingale is a registered charity and all of the money required to run the service is raised by our volunteers. This week we held a collection on the Tanyard Shopping Centre at Wickersley in Rotherham and we’d like to say thank you to everyone who donated to help us raise £125.12.

Also thank you to Jonathan, Rob, James and Mick, the hardy volunteers who braved the cold with the collection tins.

There are always fundraising activities going on around the station including our internet shopping centre at easyfundraising. org.uk. Each month the webshop has a competition open to people who use the site and the more you use, the more entries you get.

This month supported by Viking, through the easyfundraising website you could win an Apple iPod Touch and Sony docking station worth over £450. The Apple iPod Touch is a fabulous thing. Not only does it store your favourite music, videos and films, but you can also download the latest apps to make your life just that little bit easier.

All the entries to the competition are free, you’ll receive one entry when you register with easyfundraising to help support us so sign up right now at www.easyfundraising.org.uk/ radionightingale! Then you’ll receive another entry into the free prize draw for every purchase made through the easyfundraising site before 30th April Easyfundraising is as simple as it sounds in fact it’s the easiest way to help raise money for Radio Nightingale! If you already shop online with retailers such as M&S, Amazon, Argos, John Lewis, Comet, eBay or Vodafone, then we need you to sign up for free to raise money while you shop!

You shop directly with the retailer as you would normally, but if you sign up to www.easyfundraising. org.uk/radionightingale for free and use the links on the easyfundraising site to take you to the retailer, then a percentage of whatever you spend comes directly to us at no extra cost to yourself.

SOMETHING IN THE HAIR MAGIC AM

by Trevor Thomas

A great talking point on air just the other morning, as we touched on the greatest hair styles that we’ve seen in rock n roll over the years.

Who can forget the abundant effervescent colourful mane of Roy Wood of Wizard, or Peter Gabriel’s reverse Mohican in Genesis, with the shaven strip down the middle of his long dark hair back in the day.

Johnny Rotten did the orange look in the Sex Pistols, or was it green sometimes, and we’ve seen so many coloured varieties in the intervening times.

I think here in South Yorkshire our own artists made their own statements back in the early 80s. ABC’s Martin Fry had the perfect manicured blonde flick, and of course Phil Oakey of Sheffield’s Human League had long hair, but down the one side of his head only.

Talking of the 80s, Buster Bloodvessel of Bad Manners had his own unique hair do didn’t he, in that he didn’t have any whatsoever!

Join me in the mornings for more fun and games, and of course the best of the 60s, 70s and more and all you need to know. Tune us in on 990, 1305 or 1548 AM/ MW, on digital radio or online at magicam.co.uk.

See you then Trevor

Hi readers! On Tuesday night I went down to Wickersly to the Sitwell Arms, having seen their new ad in the Mercury.

My old friends Sue & Paul were performing their karaoke and it was pretty busy inside. I talked to Brian (the ladlord) who told me it was picking up here on Tuesday nights, so it’s another venue for you to go to mid week.

On Friday night I went to the newly re-opened Midland at Killamarsh and the new landlady Julie told me it was only the second time they had put this entertainment on but things seem to be picking up so don’t forget – that’s Friday nights at the Midland!

On Saturday I went to another pub just reopened - The Forum at Wincobank, which is offering live entertainment every Saturday, with the famous Mr Steve Black with his songs and jokes on show this time. Paul and his lovely lady also run the Bagshaw Arms at Gleadless.

My last stop was at the nice pub close to home for me on Sunday night - the Forty Foot where they have live entertainment every Sunday. I was talking to the lovely Andrea and its going down very well. A very nice crowd and you always feel very welcome so if you’re close by pop in for a pint and enjoy the atmosphere .

Thats all from me this week Happy Reading , Paul (Rocky Horror) It never ceases to amaze me at the amount of entertainment that is on offer at our local clubs, available very cheaply via your yearly subscription. This works out at less than 50p per visit, as opposed to £30 + to see an act at the Arena.

Are the dearer acts better? Not in my opinion.

I recently saw “Carnaby Rocks,” again, at The Hilltop Club, Dronfield, appearing for the second time in two months, such was their popularity.

Saturday 14th saw my wife and I at the Handsworth Social Club, where we were entertained by a quality 7 piece band, as opposed to a rock group -The Wilson Ellis Band. Fantastic and superb are just two of the words that spring to mind. Possibly the best band we have seen in a long time. The two lead singers, male and female both had excellent singing voices, as opposed to many that seem to shout and scream more than sing.

The female singer, (don’t know her name but i think she is married to one of the Ellis’s) performed the Jessie J number “Price Tag” accompanied only by an acoustic guitar. Real quality talent, better than the original.

Whatever your choice of entertainment, your local clubs can provide it. We enjoy our weekly rock bands down at the Bar Abbey, in the old Abbeydale Cinema every Friday night. Then for the weekend, we check out the Mercury to see what is available locally. I do wish the Sheffield clubs would state what the act is, only a few actually do this and it would save me a lot of time ringing around. Perhaps i ought to just contact your own Howard Copley who seems to know his way around the entertainment scene. He also knows his football and talks a lot of sense on same. Like him I am an “Owl” and agree that it is essential that both Sheffield teams play together in the same league.

Ian Bowen Woodhouse.

HIT THE DECK FESTIVAL 22/4/12 NOTTINGHAM

PREVIEW

Words by Katy Evans

It’s seems an occurring musical trend to establish local festivals around the country…

Camden Crawl, Tramlines, Kendal Calling and now Hit The Deck Festival. Aiding the versatility of the British scene within many musical genres, Hit The Deck is in its second year of supplying the most brutal of hardcore, metalcore and everything in between to the Yorkshire masses, a whole hearted salute to the figures of rock. For one day only, Nottingham is to be transformed into a hardcore haven, stamping its Vans-clad footprint on 22nd April.

Spread out over four different venues in Nottingham to contain five separate stages, Rock City, The Forum, Rescue Rooms and Stealth will all inhabit rocks most celebrated bands, which only being a stones throw away from each other, allows for fans to not miss out on catching a glimpse of their favourite bands. Headlining the 2012 festival this year is to be Kids In Glass Houses, pioneers within alternative chart rock music. Having performed across Sheffield on numerous occasions, make sure you catch their warm up gig on 21st April at The Plug on Matilda Street.

Also performing at Hit The Deck this year includes pop punk’s most energetic and upbeat new band The Wonder Years, who stemming from Philadelphia, are a certified leader within the catchiest genre about. Also proudly waving the banner for pop punk include We Are The In Crowd, who having recently been on tour with All Time Low along with receiving some pretty hefty coverage from Kerrang Magazine are certain to get Yorkshire moshing out. Deaf Havana and Lower than Atlantis will also be performing at the Rock City main hall, along with Hildamay, Of Mice and Men and US/Scottish screamers Yashin.

For those of you who like your music a little more…brutal, the Valencourt Apparel Stage at Stealth is your venue throughout the day. Taking the reigns for the headlining band of this stage is to be seized by one of Sheffield’s finest exports Rolo Tomassi. Having recently performed at Corporation in support of Brighton quintet Architects, Rolo Tomassi entwine electro riffs within fierce rhythmic and bassline sections to succumb to a sound no less than powerfully epic. Also on the Valencourt Apparel Stage are Bury Tomorrow, Heights and Polar, bands who have all graced Sheffield’s infamous rock stages therefore are no shying blossoms to pretty intense audiences…rawr!

Although we’d really love to tell you who the Very Special Guest is, which is to be announced on the day, everyone secretly loves surprises so you’re just going to have to hold tight and wait for that one…we feel powerful…very powerful.

Cancer Bats, Rise to Remain and Shadows Chasing Ghosts are also all set to perform, with the full line-up and stage times found at www. hitthedeckfestival.com.

EVERLY PREGNANT BROTHERS REVIEW SHEFFIELD CITY HALL 14/04/12 Words by Katy Evans

If you have yet to experience the hilariousness of Sheffield’s very own Ukulele parody piece The Everly Pregnant Brothers, thank us…thank us now, for we may well have just opened your eyes to one of the wittiest live bands there is on the current local scene.

Consisting of Pete Mckee, Sheffield’s finest cartoon artist and creator on the Ukulele, Shaun Doane on HarmonIca, Richard Bailey and Toby Foster also both Ukelele strummers, Charley Mckee, Klive Humberstone and Ginger Dave, The Everly Pregnant Brothers have gone from Sheffield’s most comedic live groups to arguably one of the most celebrated.

Taking to the stage at Sheffield’s City Hall, it was evident just how massive this was for the Everly Pregnant Brothers. From a group who, needless to say, don’t take themselves that seriously, the venue itself was transformed into a haven of live comedy numbers to well and truly match the entire nature of the night. It’s so refreshing to watch a group who don’t need to worry about if they are pitch perfect, if their set was perfectly comprised of the right tracking order and so on…disregard that for a collection of mates who came up with a genius idea and actually had the ‘get-up-and-go’ attitude to do it…and by Joe they’ve created something pretty damn magical.

Ok so…this is why we love The Everly Pregnant Brothers so much…(note, this is their very own unique take on Pulp’s Common People…) ‘She came from Dore she had a thirst for knowledge, She studied Media at Shirecliffe college, That’s where I, caught her eye! She told me that her dad were loaded, I said “in that case I’ll have a pint of stones’ and a pie!” And then she looked me in the eyes and she said, “I wanna live like common people…’ Or how about ‘…No oven no pie…’ as oppose to ‘…No woman to pride…’ Genius. Pure comedic genius.

Performing all the crowds’ favourite’s throughout their hour long set, jokes aside this group have actually got something a little bit special. Aside from their insanely funny interpretations of popular chart songs, their instrumental skills are sharp, their sound is powerful enough to not have been lost within a massive venue such as The City Hall and hell, they know how to make a show lighthearted and entertaining. Forget stuffy performers and insular entertainment, The Everly Pregnant Brothers put the belly in belly laughs…a pregnant one at that.

round-up

by stuart renton Here’s how this is going to work: the next two minutes – the time it takes to read this review - never happened. Even if you wave my column in front of my face (painful at first, but it can be done with a strict regimen of exercise and gentle stretching), I’ll make outrageous claims about alien abduction or Russian brainwashing, anything to get away from the fact that I have the world’s most guilty secret.

I saw Steps in concert on Sunday night.

It had to happen; something had to give one day to sully my perfect reputation of being the “super” “cool” reviewer you’ve come to know and love hate tolerate.

Like dogging and a visit to Toys R Us (although rarely at the same time), Steps are a Guilty pleasure, but like those pictures of me outside the town hall on a Saturday morning at four am, I shall deny all knowledge. Besides, even if I was there, I was merely asking for directions from people driving past. Besides, I was young and needed the money…

Ahem. It’s been all quiet on the pop front since popmeisters Steps went their separate ways in a flurry of media attention over a decade ago, but now they’re back in an equally massive blaze of publicity and this sell-out tour is their latest iteration. There’s no new stuff here, just a celebration of all the songs you’ve come to know and love or hate (delete as applicable).

When Steps were last on the scene, the Arena was filled with a horde of pre-teenagers bopping along to happy tracks like Chain Reaction and Tragedy, but now those kids are all grown up, and they’re back in an audience that really did consist of two types of people – while I’m sure you can work it out for yourself - the Arena was filled with an even mix of girls in their late teens and – well – let’s just say the Army didn’t allow them until very recently… And, of course there was my row of journalists who seemed entirely out of place and who clearly had no idea why they were there (they all left about half way through the miserable buggers).

The show itself was admirably put together with some decent effects, cracking dancers and a high energy feel that is undeniably Steps. I did have to wonder if Claire (who was instrumental in the band’s demise back in 2000) wasn’t just going through the motions as she didn’t seem happy with the dancing and appeared to be unenthusiastic at best through many of the songs.

That said, Steps sang every one of their hits (and a few album songs, too) in their two hour set and the bottom line is that if you’re a fan of Steps then this show delivers in every way. But like those sales at DFS, it’s not going to last so catch ‘em before they’re gone forever.

And when they’re gone, it’ll be a tragedy (see what I did there?)

Steps is back at the Motorpoint on the 27th of April 2012.

I should warn you that this newspaper has been imbued with psychotropic drugs so you’ll forget about this review almost as soon as you have read it. That’s how guilty I feel about this week’s column.

Now, let’s never speak of this again!

angler’s corner

PARKLANDS POND

DONCASTER

by Clint Walker

Well, I’ve been in Cambridge this week to do a few jobs for another publication for which I write, and I took the time to drop in on a friend of mine who owns www.ukmatchangler.com website. I’ve been writing for Ray Best for a while now and while I’m there, we often talk tackle.

Last week, my trusty JRC Stealth Brolly, one I’ve had for ages, got picked up by the wind as I sat beneath it and completely folded in half! Obviously, this action did it no good and all three metal ribs were snapped and the shelter destroyed, so I asked Ray for a recommendation……I ended up getting the Korum Mk2 shelter which was quickly erected in my back garden to try out. It was even faster to put up than my preferred JRC, so I’ll keep you posted as to how we get on.

I’ve also picked up a huge load of Rapala lures this week; as I’m sure most lure anglers know, Rapala are the standard to which all are compared, so my new collection of ‘clacking minnows’ and other plugs, spoons and divers will soon (this week hopefully!) be put to good use at my favourite predator venue, Cudmore in Staffordshire. Tara Lake on the complex has pike to 25lbs, perch in excess of 5lbs and some mighty big cat fish approaching 70lbs! A truly fantastic predator paradise and one I can highly recommend. www.cudmorefishery.com for more details.

Finally to add to my tackle bag, after snapping the butt eye and smashing a butt section of one of 2lbs test curve barbel rods at the beginning of the year, I’ve taken on some Sonik SK3 tri tip rods which have a traditional ‘Avon’ section and a quivertip extension with two, three and four ounce tips. It looks to be a brilliant pair of rods which I’m looking forward to using extensively for tench, barbel and an assortment of other species; if you have used them, let me know what you think?

More exciting news from my sponsoring company Pallatrax this week too with the release of yet more new baits to complement the existing range of Natural baits. For many anglers, the boilie is the only carp bait; for many others, the addition of completely natural foodstuffs is an option to use when the going gets tough. Pallatrax have just put the ‘Hidra’ range of dehydrated baits on the shelves, and our latest range of powdered baits which give a number of extra options will hit the tackle shops this week…… make sure you see Angler’s Mail magazine to read exclusively about the new additions!

New British record fish out this week too; the bream record is always vulnerable from waters where carp anglers introduce huge amounts of high protein baits, and this time the record has fallen on just such a venue. The huge fish has weighed in at 23lbs and was caught by accident by a carper! It just goes to show there may a record fish in your favourite venue that no one knows anything about, so get out there and catch it!

2.35 Dubai Duty Free Stakes (registered as the Fred Darling Stakes), Group 3, Fillies, 7f: Unbeaten Group 1 winner Lyric of Light should be able to take this with Samitar again filling out the runner-up spot and Best Terms, Alsinndi and Roger Sez being best of the rest. The two debutant scorers Brick Tops and Moonstone Magic both look to have scope and could be the ones to spring a surprise if there is to be one. Preference between these would be for Brick Tops.

3.10 AON Greenham Stakes, Group 3, Colts and Geldings, 7f: This looks to me to come down to Fencing’s third to Camelot in the Racing Post Trophy versus Bronterre’s fourth in the Dewhurst to Parish Hall. Preference is for Fencing. Of the remainder the debutant scorers Mighty Ambition, Minstrels Gallery, Tales of Grimm and Top Offer may provide the principal opposition to the above two, although I haven’t yet completely given up on Rebellious Guest, who could be worth an each way saver.

3.45 Berry Bros. & Rudd Magnum Spring Cup, (Handicap), Class 2, 1m: In a devilishly tricky handicap Sir Henry Cecil’s Emilio Largo gets the vote to continue his progression. Most opposition may come from David Simcock’s generally consistent Pintura, John Dunlop’s Yair Hill (also improving), Spring Mile winner Norse

There are seven races scheduled for the Channel 4 racing coverage this Saturday which comes from Newbury and Ayr. It is Guineas’ trials time again, with Newmarket this week holding a midweek two day meeting containing the European Free Handicap, the Nell Gwynn Stakes and the Craven Stakes and Newbury hosting the Fred Darling and Greenham Stakes on Saturday. It always seems to me to be debatable which of these (and the others held elsewhere), if any, is the best trial. I think that it can be just as advisable to look at the late 2yo Group races from the previous year which can often point to Guineas’ winners. Ayr hosts the Scottish Grand National and the Scottish Champion Hurdle.

Blues, Global Village and Karaka Jack. Of these preference is for Yair Hill over Norse Blues.

Ayr: 2.15 Arcadia Consulting William Dickie & Mary Robertson Future Champions Novices’ Chase, Grade 2, 2m 4f; Menorah won well last week and has to be feared if turning out. However I reckon that there a few unexposed improvers lurking in this field that may be able to give him a real fright. My top rated is Lancetto who we have still yet to see the best of.

Lidar, Lucky Landing, Mush Mir and Problema Tic all won last time out and look to be on the upgrade while both Doeslessthanme and Degas Art are on a roll at present. In a tricky looking race I am plumping for the improving Lucky Landing who had 17 lengths in hand of Lidar at Doncaster before that one franked the form by improving himself to win next time out, turning the form round with King’s Grey emphatically.

2.50 Isle of Skye Blended Whisky Scottish Champion Hurdle, (Limited Handicap), Grade 2, 2m: Nicky Henderson’s Petit Robin rates a sporting selection to prevail over Aintree scorer Edgardo Sol and recent improver Charm School. Of the others the Mc Cain pair Red Merlin and Desert Cry are feared most.

3.25 Coral Scottish Grand National Handicap Chase, Grade 3, 4m 110yds: I have 20 plus of these clustered together closely at the top of my ratings. That makes it a very competitive renewal of this Grade 3 handicap and one that could go to almost any of them. The current best odds about Harry the Viking (6/1) look pretty short to me, even though he is a worthy favourite. He was in good form before Cheltenham (where he was just touched off by Teaforthree) and is almost certain to go very close for the Nicholls/Walsh combination.

However, he only just prevailed over Matt Sheppard’s Ikorodu Road by a head at Doncaster back in December and on these very similar terms it could be that Ikorodu Road, who looks to have improved since, could turn the form around. With Malcolm Jefferson’s stable going so well his two entries, King Fontaine (40/1) and Mac Aeda (33/1) have to enter calculations.

Of the two I prefer the former who had a recent prep over hurdles. Sue Smith’s stable is also going well and that brings Aurora’s Encore (25/1) into the picture.

Others that are likely to go well at decent prices are (in alphabetical order): Any Currency (25/1); Ballyfitz (33/1); Benny Be Good (25/1); Fruity O’Rooney (16/1); Galaxy Rock (12/1); Garleton(28/1); Merigo (9/1); and Mostly Bob (20/1). I have tended to overlook runners from last week’s National because I think that could have left a mark on them. These are: Junior; Vic Venturi; and West End Rocker and all three figure high up in my ratings. It may be a mistake to do this but that looked a fairly tough race to me and a week may be insufficient recovery time. In a very difficult race therefore, where luck in running is always needed, the nod goes to Ikorodu Road.

NEW BOSS WATCHES OVER HOME WIN MILLERS NEWS www.themillers.co.uk

Rotherham United manager Steve Evans started his reign as Millers boss with a defeat, despite a positive performance, losing 3-1 at high-flying Shrewsbury Town.

Ryan Cresswell put the Millers in front early on but a brace from Terry Gornell and a strike by Aaron Wildig sealed a win for the Shrews, after an entertaining encounter at Greenhous Meadow.

Evans made one change for his first game in charge of the Millers, with Tom Newey replacing Sam Wood at left-back for the game.

The new manager barely had time to take his seat when the Millers took the lead through Cresswell’s second goal in a week. A corner just two minutes into the game by Gareth Evans was headed back across goal by Johnny Mullins, and after a battle under the cross bar, the Millers defender headed home from six yards.

The lead was almost doubled just two minutes later, when Danny Schofield was allowed time on the edge of the box, but his effort flew over the bar. Before the first 10 minutes was through, Shrewsbury had their first attack, and good work by Gornell eventually set-up James Collins, whose shot from the corner of the area was just over Rhys Taylor’s crossbar.

Ben Pringle tried his luck from distance on three occasions throughout the half to no avail, but on the half hour mark it was the Millers stopper who had to be alert, racing off his line to smother from Collins. Lewis Grabban couldn’t keep his attempt down after some neat play by Alex Revell on the right, and Jason Taylor was the next to try his luck after Evans’ cross but again, he couldn’t keep his effort on target.

With the first half coming to a close, the Millers received a blow when Gornell charged towards the edge of the area, before unleashing an effort low past Taylor

WORST FEARS CONFIRMED AS REF DECIDES OUTCOME ROVERS NEWS www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk

The Rovers made four changes from the starting line-up on Monday, while Portsmouth were unchanged from their last game. The Rovers had a fantastic start to the game by scoring twice in the first five minutes. In the third minute, the Rovers were awarded a free kick on their right.

Coppinger lifted the ball into the middle where Brown rose highest to head it and the ball hit BEYE on it’s way into the top corner. Two minutes later, Coppinger received on the right and hit a low cross into the six-yard box where Brown’s sidefoot was beaten out by Ashdown but ROBERT followed up to score. Pompey’s reply was for Ward to get to the right byline before pulling the ball back for Varney to blaze high and wide. From Woods’ goal kick Coppinger got on the end of the bounce and volleyed the ball against the bar from 30yards. The match then settled down to a more even contest before Norris got in a strike from 25yards in the 19th minute but it was straight at Woods, who saved. Minutes later and the Rovers won the first corner of the game.

The visitors then brought on Kitson, a striker in place of a midfielder. On the half hour, a Portsmouth corner brought a goalbound header but Coppinger, stationed at the near post, cleared off the line and Oster completed the clearance. Then a corner to the Rovers brought a flying header from Beye that eas pushed out by Ashdown for another corner. The visitors were having their fair share of possession at this stage but in the 39th minute Gillett fed Oster, who hit a purler from 20yards that Ashdown saved well. Portsmouth then won a corner that came to nothing but a couple of minutes later Allen went on a good run to the edge of the Rovers area but his tame shot was saved by Woods. The half drew to a close with the Rovers on the attack. Coppinger flighted a cross to the middle but Robert couldn’t get to it and a corner came to nothing.

The Rovers got the second half underway but

Portsmouth were soon on the attack. Five minutes in and Allen cut in from the left before hitting a piledriver from 25 yards that rattled the crossbar and away. At the other end Coppinger volleyed wide fol;lopwing a cross from the left. In the 54th minute, Norris, on the Pompey left hit a crossfield ball to Harris on the right but his fierce drive was saved well by Woods at the near post. Then calamity for the Rovers in the 57th minute when Beye was adjudged to have brought down Kitson in the penalty area. Beye was sent off and HALFORD converted the penalty. On the hour Friend fed Coppinger on the left, who laid it back for Hayter to fire over from 20yards. Then Brown passed inside to Gillett, who also fired over from 25yards. The, in the 64th minute, the referee awarded a debateable penalty for handball against O’Connor. HALFORD duly did the needful again. Then, in the 68th minute, Coppinger received the ball on the right, turned inside his marker and hit a left footer into the net. Back came Pompey and gradually began to make their extra man count. Harris shot over from the right, Woods saved from Harris and a couple of corners were well defended by the Rovers. The pressure eventually told and in the 90th minute KITSON bundled the ball into the net. Five minutes of added time - where did that come from? - brought a winner for Portsmouth when a cross from the Pompey right wasn’t cleared properly and FUTACS seized on the ball and rifled in from 15yards.

Rovers Management along with Chairman John Ryan and the whole football club were incensed about the decisions made by the match officials in the second half that helped Portsmouth back into the game when Rovers were dominant.

Dean Saunders was clearly passionate about the decisions being made against his side and at one point was told to not to be so emotional by the referee after he reacted to one of those decisions.

to level the scores.

Half-time - Shrewsbury Town 1 v 1 Rotherham Utd The second-half started much the same as the first, with the net bulging after just two minutes, but unfortunately it was at the wrong end for the Millers who were caught off guard when Nicky Wroe nipped in behind the defence and squared for Aaron Wildig to tap home from close range.

Pringle and Revell both tried their luck from distance for the visitors in the hope of finding an equalising goal, but on 68 minutes they were punished for not taking their chances once again. This time it was Gornell picking the ball up 40 yards from goal, driving to the edge of the area and firing home past Taylor who was left with no chance.

Despite the set-back the Millers continued to attack, with Cresswell again going close with a header at the back post which was glanced wide. Evans threw on both Sam Wood and Sam Hoskins to try and turn the tide, and it was Hoskins who was next to come close with a low drive which thundered into the side netting from 20 yards.

With time ticking by the Millers came close again when Jason Taylor drilled in a low shot which was only parried by Chris Neal, but Cresswell couldn’t make a firm connection with the rebound allowing the ‘keeper to make a sprawling save.

In stoppage time Hoskins was again in the thick of the action, this time picking up the ball after a Alex Revell knockdown, but his low drive was saved by Neal.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY NEWS 2011/12 OWLS STUMBLE IN RACE TO LINE MATCH REPORT www.swfc.co.uk

Dave Jones maintained his unbeaten start at the S6 helm but had to settle for a point as Colchester frustrated the promotion-chasing Owls at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

The U’s took an early lead through Ian Henderson and although Miguel Llera claimed his third goal in as many games, Wednesday emerged from Essex having lost ground on rivals Sheffield United for the second automatic slot.

Wednesday went into the contest on a stunning run of form that yielded seven wins from the previous eight games but got off to the worst possible start.

Barely five minutes in, Henderson ran into space inside the penalty area to take a pass from Steven Gillespie into his stride and flick a low shot past Stephen Bywater.

The goal was Wednesday’s first concession in five and as the early exchanges unfolded, a scrappy contest developed with the visitors posing less of a threat in the final third as has been the case of late.

But that changed on the 20-minute mark when the Owls created two chances inside a minute.

First, Chris Lines sent a dangerous free kick into the area where Gary Madine flicked a header wide, then Nile Ranger failed to get a proper connection six yards out following

good work down the right by Michail Antonio.

Lines drilled a low shot into the arms of Ben Williams two minutes later as the Owls ramped up the pressure but Colchester weathered the mini storm to edge back into proceedings.

But opportunities at either end were few and as half time approached, it seemed clear that both sides had more to give in the second period.

And Wednesday demonstrated exactly that six minutes in when Llera struck from close range to level the score.

Madine did exceptionally well to win a free kick deep down the left flank and Lines delivered an accurate feed right into the heart of the danger zone, where Llera was on hand to stab into the back of the net.

The Owls had their tails up and a Madine header brushed the top of the net moments after the restart before Jermaine Johnson saw a pacey shot deflected wide.

The lion’s share of play was in the home side’s half as Wednesday went in search of a second goal but the impetus from the equaliser subsided as the game went on.

Johnson and Lines had half chances during the closing stages but little would drop for the Owls, who left Essex frustrated and in need of a dramatic Sheffield swing to keep their top-two ambitions alive.

Colchester: Williams, Okuonghae, Gillespie, Izzet (Odejaye 74), Bond, Henderson (O’Toole 87), Eastman, Wilson, Wordsworth, White, Duguid Unused substitutes: Rose, Heath, Sears Owls: Bywater, Buxton, Llera, Batth, Beevers, Antonio, Lines, Semedo, J Johnson, Madine, Ranger (O’Grady 72) Unused substitutes: Weaver, D Jones, Prutton, M Jones

NOT QUITE ENOUGH FOR JONES GAFFERS REACTION www.swfc.co.uk

Dave Jones said that Wednesday offered not quite enough at Colchester on Saturday - but added that luck was not with his side.

The Owls posted a point in Essex that could have been all three had a late strike by Michail Antonio not been ruled out for offside.

Jones said: “We didn’t get the luck today that you sometimes need because I have seen it back and Michail is level.

“But they are the margins in football.

Overall, we didn’t quite do enough today, we tried to score from distance instead of playing the ball as we should.

“But look, I am not going to criticise the players, they have given everything and we had a right good go.

“I think the two games over Easter took a lot out of them and now we have to go again.”

With Sheffield United beating Leyton Orient, the gap between the two Steel City sides is now four points but Jones is far from giving up the ghost on automatic promotion.

He added: “There’s still a long way to go. We have to rely on others slipping up but that has been the case since I first came here.

“It wasn’t too long ago that a lot of people thought that we were out of it but there are three games to go and we still have a chance.

“We don’t need lifting because we

Julian Bennett picked up a slight hamstring strain in training.

ONE FOOT IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP DOOR? MATCH REPORT www.sufc.co.uk

United made it six consecutive victories as the promotion race in League One enters the final furlong.

Leyton Orient gave the Blades scare with an early goal from Kevin Lisbie, but strikes from Lee Williamson, Michael Doyle and Ched Evans - all scorers in midweek - secured three more vital points. Evans struck in the final ten minutes, netting his 35th of the campaign.

Boss Wilson named an unchanged team once again, it was the same XI that took to the field for a fourth consecutive fixture, whilst the substitutes remained the same, meaning there was no place for Hoskins or Beattie. Naturally, the formation was also unaltered and a downpour during the warm-up greased the surface. United were on the offensive from the outset and created a half-chance within 20 seconds but Quinn was unable to connect with Williamson’s cross after Evans had forced a throw. It set the tone of an opening ten minutes which United bossed. An Evans shot deflected off Dickson for a corner and Maguire twice came close to causing problems from Williamson crosses. Goalkeeper Jones could only parry a powerful Evans shot and two goal-bound shots were blocked in one move, the first from Doyle, followed up by Hill. Orient also survived two handball shouts in their own penalty area.

However, the Lane was stunned when the visitors took the lead with their very first opportunity on 12 minutes. Maguire was unable to head clear a long clearance from Jones and LISBIE latched on to the loose ball and half-volleyed an unstoppable left-footer into the top corner from the edge of the box.

The Blades quickly went back on the attack. A diving header from Cresswell failed to find the target and also, notably, forced him to be substituted when he went off holding his shoulder - Porter was the replacement. After good work from Porter and Williamson, Quinn hit a ball into the ground, which Jones was forced to tip over, whilst Evans had an effort blocked, which materialised after a long, diagonal ball from Maguire. From another break, on 29 minutes, Orient worked their second chance and could and quite possibly - should have doubled their lead. Mooney and Spring were involved before Lisbie sprung the offside trap but he dragged his shot wide. Spring then looped an effort over the crossbar.

As half-time approached, the sides exchanged half-chances, Porter could not get enough purchase after a Collins header and Cox fired wide after long throw at the other end before the Blades grabbed the goal the first half dominance deserved. On 42 minutes, the move began with another diagonal delivery from Maguire, Porter headed back into the danger area and despite Chorley half-clearing, Evans side-footed across the box for WILLIAMSON to turn the ball home - goalkeeper Jones did get his hand to the ball but could only divert it into the corner. The goal lifted the spirits but United were unable to great another noteworthy chance before the break and the second period began with little action... until skipper Doyle stepped up to the plate! With 54 minutes gone, an attack down the right was struggling to breakthrough but Evans laid inside for DOYLE to have a touch before drilling into the bottom corner of Jones’s net.

Moments later Forbes did well to block from Evans after Jones had pushed out Lowton’s cross before there became an edge to the game around the hour mark.

Maguire and Lisbie were booked for a minor spat and then the visiting side’s Dickson was dismissed for serious foul play after steaming in at Williamson.

With a numerical advantage, the chances, understandably, were falling to the Blades, although there was a nervousness at the back when the visitors

had possession. Evans, following a sharp turn, had an effort deflected onto the post and wide on 65 minutes and McDonald had a long-ranger saved by Jones. Porter then curled just wide after neat work from Evans and Williamson, following a mistake by Forbes. Flynn replaced Quinn and Leyton Orient completed their substitutions with around ten minutes remaining, but they were hindered when the Blades added a third on 83 minutes.

Porter’s flick on found Flynn, who laid off to EVANS, the leading goalscorer went around the outside of his marker before placing under the goalkeeper Evans was given a standing ovation when he was replaced, just before five minutes of added time was announced, whilst late chances for Orient’s Porter and United’s McDonald were little more than footnotes as the Blades extended the gap between second and third position in League One.

EXETER TICKETS ON SALE THIS WEEK TICKET DETAILS www.sufc.co.uk

The Blades have finally been able to announce ticket details for the final match of the season, away at Exeter!

Negotiations have been ongoing between the clubs to secure the maximum possible allocation for the Blades fans, given that a huge number are wanting to make the long journey down to Devon in the expectation of seeing the Blades clinch automatic promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt.

There are 1700 tickets available for the travelling faithful, and sales begin this Wednesday to supporters with 22,000 or more loyalty points, on Thursday to those with 21,000 or more, and on Friday (when the tickets are expected to sell out) to holders of 20,000 points or more. The Box Office are keen to stress that those who qualify on Wednesday and Thursday will be guaranteed tickets as long as they are purchased on the relevant days.

NO LET UP FROM WILSON MANAGERʼS VIEW www.sufc.co.uk

Danny Wilson felt United got exactly what they deserved against Leyton Orient at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

Goals from Lee Williamson, Michael Doyle and Ched Evans saw the Blades run out 3-1 victors despite Kevin Lisbie’s early opener, much to Wilson’s relief: “No game is ever easy, we have had to work really hard to get the three points and we are relieved to do so. We have had to be at the top of our game all season because everyone has something to play for and Leyton Orient were no different. We knew we couldn’t take anything for granted and we didn’t. It was nip and tuck for a long time, but as the game went on we got stronger and were worthy winners in the end. I am always confident with what we have that we will score goals and once again we have had many efforts on goal.

We have scored three more well taken goals and it is really pleasing to see the midfielders chipping in again, rather than us relying on Ched, who just keeps getting on the scoresheet.”
