The Joys Of Public Transport At Christmas

A blue, single decker, stagecoach bus that says 'sorry, out of service' on the front.

With only a couple of days till Christmas, you might need to venture into the city centre to pick up a present for the relative you forgot about or that friend you weren’t expecting a gift from.

You’re now faced with the dilemma of how you’re going to get there. Continue reading

How To Tackle Steep Hill

A street sign for Steep Hill, on the side of a cafe at the top. Also displays the Best Street award.

Those familiar with Lincoln will know the sinking feeling (no, not the song by the ‘the the’) you get when someone, usually a newbie, mentions popping up Steep Hill to look at pretty buildings (apparently there’s a cathedral and castle up there or something, you might not have heard of it).

The clever person was who called it Steep Hill was pretty accurate, and quite frankly, they deserve a round of applause. So here’s how the lovely people of Lincoln get up Steep Hill without dying. Continue reading

Simpsons Tapped Out

An in-game picture of Springfield.

For the last few weeks, Homer Simpson bellowing out the words “better them than me” has been following me everywhere. These little outbursts take place at the most inconvenient times – on the bus, in the queue for a pint of milk, even in the uni library, but why is Tapped Out such an addictive game?

Lincoln Christmas Lights Switch On – Live Blog

A photo of the christmas lights on Lincoln High Street

Something electrical is afoot.

Lincoln is switching on it’s Christmas Lights tonight for the coming “festive period”.

The “celebrity” in “charge” of the “switch-on” will be actress Sue Hodge.

Sue played Mimi in ‘Allo ‘Allo and she played Mimi in the stage production of ‘Allo ‘Allo. She was also controversially chosen for the role of Mimi in the Return of ‘Allo ‘Allo.

A nice, wide ranging career then.

Anyway, the live blog is here.

 

UPDATE: Sue Hodge actually had another role in a BBC3 sitcom called “The Lads Club”. She played Connie. We can’t seem to find any record of such a show anywhere on the internet, so one could presume that it was not a particular success.
