Huddersfield Examiner journalist Adrian Sudbury, who bravely fought against two types of leukaemia, died in his sleep in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Adrian tirelessly campaigned for a better awareness of bone marrow donation and even managed to get Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s support for the subject to be taught to sixth formers across the country.

Adrian’s award-winning blog documented his battle with leukaemia and inspired thousands of people around the world.

So what’s your reaction to planned demolition of Tinsley Towers? Have your say

Sheffield’s iconic Tinsley Cooling Towers are to be demolished in the early hours of this August Bank Holiday weekend.

A controlled explosion will bring down the 250ft towers, which have stood on the site for over 60 years, on Sunday 24 August 2008.

So the clock it ticking on the life of these famous landmarks. But what sort of reaction has there been to this news.

What the bloggers are saying

An initial scan through the blogs has indicated a few interesting posts. Dan has attracted an interesting range of comments from around the world including someone in Australia who remembers the towers fondly and says they “tell” people where they are.  This sense of identifying a place is a recurring theme.
“At lease we will have the Meadowhall to act as a landmark” comments another.  Read Dan’s post here

Anders Hanson says, “I  like them because of their appearance from the hills on the west of the city where I grew up“. Read Anders’ post here 

The Sheffield blog makes no comment but notes their imminent passing.

On Facebook

There are some lively discussion on Facebook, “They not only remind us of our industrial history, but they also act as a gateway between the north and south of England”, “I’m really gutted” says another.

Save the Tinsley Cooling Towers

Twelve million people switch on to see X-Factor hopefuls put their big dream to the test. From angel voices to the cats chorus, the appeal of this show often when the fighting breaks out. 

What do you think of Dreamtime?
Have your say

Of course If someone turns out to be really good and the panel is unanimous, then there is no tension - how dull is that!   No, what we really need is a good old barney … a squabble, scrap or a ding dong.  

When Dreamtime from Huddersfield showed up there was certainly some tension in the air. If you didn’t catch their performance you can see a special performance for us in the centre of Huddersfield. Watch it here

What do you think of Dreamtime?  What would you say if you were Simon Cowell?  Do you think dashing people’s hopes on the X-Factor like this is fair play?

John and Sue Watson have for the last year been living in a converted single decker bus. John bought the bus for £1500 after its working life came to an end and then started converting it into a mobile home.

With all mod-cons, satellite TV, luxury couch, double-bed, en-suite, it is a moving home. Who says canal boat owners are the only ones who can choose where they sleep? And the bus can be driven on a regular licence.

Although John loves living aboard the bus, the time has come to sell. This means if you have £3,500 available to invest in property, you’ll get the added bonus of a free fare to anywhere, whenever you like.

Garry Dickinson has vowed not to ever ride again after a horrific crash that saw him come of his bike at the Oliver’s Mount circuit in Scarborough travelling at over 150mph.

Doctors didn’t believe Garry would recover after breaking his neck, back, ribs and arms, but he has and has subsequently decided to give up the sport after 30 years of competitive racing. It is a not a decision he has taken lightly, but the brush with death he believes has made him a “better, stronger and more determined” person, but one who will be without motorcycles.

Is the north really that bad?  Have your say

Cathy-Jean Hyman writes:

If the North is so bad then why do so many southerners move down here. in Ackworth where i’m from there are more new southerners than old locals,
 
I’m sorry but the North is friendly and beautiful, the south is smoggy and crowded. but the thing is, if any more southerners move here, my little town will merge with its nehibours, and it won’t be “wakefield at the five towns.” it’ll  be “Leeds”  (thanks to Cathy-Jean Hyman)

I’m going to say something nice. I love Bradford. I was born there and I love the mad mix of humanity and cultures, the jumble of good and bad architecture , the incredible history.  Not only do I think it’s a great place, I think it has a great future. And, frankly, I don’t want to move to Cambridgeshire. For twenty years I’ve worked in London and now I’m back in the Bradford district, the place I belong.  Belonging, note, I use that word deliberately.

Forty years ago I remember watching the steam trains coming in and out of the city, the Swan Arcade which was tragically demolished. The decline of the textile industry which my family endured was all part of the difficult story of one of the North’s most impressive cities.

I can see I’m going to get into trouble with my News Editor for being less than impartial but I think I owe you some honesty in this matter. Although times have been hard for Bradford, this is not a time to abandon it, quite the reverse.  In human terms we would say that it is good practice to show commitment to those we love – and so it is with a city.  Life is a journey which takes us through times if suffering and I would say it is wrong to turn our back when times are hard. Redemption is at hand.

The Bishop of Bradford has come out in support of his city, “Since coming to Bradford I have recognised that we face great challenges and I have been hugely encouraged by the number of people who have committed themselves to making a difference here”. That is the glory of life that tragedy can be transformed and that suffering can be a refining experience.

The idea that populations need to migrate to service the nations industry seems at odds with the emerging business models in this internet age.

Here at ITV local Yorkshire we are immersed in the world of so called new media – the connected age of the internet. It is interesting to note that the emerging business arrangements are much less dependent on geography.  We can be employed in India just as easily as Ealing – work without boundaries. So I would ask why it is necessary for workers to live in the South when communications are now so much more advanced? 

There, I’ve said my piece.  Please help me out by adding your thoughts and comments on this interesting debate. It’ll keep my News Editor happy.
