I saw a Police car chase.

They were chasing a silver BMW estate through the middle of Wakefield. It wasn't quite up to Sweeney standards, no squealing tyres or "You're nicked, you slag!" but it was a chase.

The BMW wasn't going mega fast but he wasn't stopping either. I lost sight of it after half a mile but my money would have been on the law.

Well done! Never seen a police car chase meself; the only time you see them driving fast round here is en route from the takeaway back to the station ....

But it does remind me of the time I was driving home from work and a fire engine swung out of a road in front of me, lights and siren blaring. So I thought, I'll follow it. 2 miles later, I was still more or less on its tail when it finally swung into our cul-de-sac.

To say the old ticker was palpitating would be an understatement .....

Minor chip pan fire, about 10 houses down the road from us ....

It's usually when Asda are reducing the prices on the fresh cakes in the bakery aisle that they race around here....

That's Wakey's excitement over for 2015 then.

That is a foul calumny!

Later on this year the Hepworth Gallery will stage an exhibition of the works of the famous surrealist Heinrich Maydimup, to mass* public acclaim.

*Sid and Doris Bonkers and their mate Kev.

Exciting cromwell

My dad's first reaction after being rushed to hospital was 'I got nee-naws!!'

I must confess, I put that name into Google Search and was just about to press Enter when I twigged ....
