Thought of the moment - how come you always seem to bump into someone who has either lived in the Heath or knows someone from the Heath? - You'll probably get more sense out of my cat!

Satireee!

newanm.gif (11099 bytes)20/4/00 Baskets to brighten - hurrah for the princely sum of 35 squid the council will provide you with a flower basket.  Deputy Mayor Irene Balls (seriously!) said "with a little effort on everyone's part we could enhance Haywards Heath - give it a boost and, make it more welcoming place for shoppers and vistors to the town."

newanm.gif (11099 bytes)01/4/00 Unibrow - we rarely see in our travels the uni brow that is when both eye brows meet above the bridge of the nose with additional facial hair, but if you care to look at the picture board of the managers in our local Sains, there's a guy with a Unibrow!!!  And he looks like that in real life.  This is made all the funnier if you've seen Austin Powers The Spy who Shagged Me.  My Paolo Arcangelo someone has beaten your unibrow!

newanm.gif (11099 bytes)30/3/00 Fuggin' Heath FM - Hurrah there's a battle for the airwaves of the Heath with a number of concerns sniffing an opportunity to make money out of boring Heath listeners with some easy listening tunes.  The contenders - 

Dolphin 106.4FM (Geddit?!!  Dolphin Leisure Centre, Dolphin Health Centre... errr The Dolphin Pub - another potential confusing aquatic mammal based name to confuse Heathians).  Backed with the celebrity heavy weights of  errr  Derek "Do they mean me" Jameson (the daft coot!).

Media Sound, like a Phoenix rising out of the CSR FM (Callum May check this out) ashes, hopes to whoop some ass with the almighty backing of Jimmy Hill, Dame Vera Lynn and the Soames.  

newanm.gif (11099 bytes)30/3/00 Radnor Luxury - An insider tells us that the Radnor House development by the station (you know someone wanted a nightclub there) is not that great.... well at £90K a piss and with crap parking and location, well would you?

30/3/00 Sex Change Store? - Hurrah the tackification of Heath continues, as rumours abound of the "Officers Club" to replace Hamells in the Orchards.  To those who do not know what this fine store is - it is renowned for its all year round "sales" at 70% off retail price!!!!  A kind of Eissenegger for less Crawley type people!

23/3/00 Totaling the Toads - well if you have too much free time on your hands call Denise Caulfield on 01273 476626 and count some toads with the Sussex Ouse Conservation Group.  And if you are remotely tempted..... GET A LIFE!!!

26/3/00 Business as Usual - Lindfield Rover are being quite upbeat despite the withdrawal of BMW's financial backing from Rover.  So long Fritz, we don't need you....  errr two world wars and errr one world cup (we'll conveniently ignore any other football tournaments).

26/3/00 Iain O'Donnell News - well there should be some... in fact what the hell is he upto these days?  If you prescribe to any of his existing social circles, send us updates now.  The last we heard, he was just getting over his "function specific" clothing phase!

Haywards Heath 2 Bosham 3 - shit isn't it... that's the score from the local footy Division Three thing.  It's shit cos' I've been to Bosham and its a nice village a little bigger than the council house infested Lindfield.  But really, they beat the Heath, god we are soooooo shit!

09/3/00 Millennium Plans - apparently the councillors are pulling out all the stops!!!  They're going to kick off with and wait for it folks ..... NEEDLECRAFT!!!, some sort of tea thing err.... errr.... PANTS!!!  COME ON!!!!  

16/3/00 Found on the net, cos we were bored Wednesday, August 4, 1999 Published at 15:20 GMT 16:20 UK[ image: Jocasta and Gay Fearns got up at 5am to wish the Queen Mother happy birthday]

British was the word that Jocasta Fearn, 25, used to sum up the spirit of the Queen Mother.

Accompanied by her mother, Gay, and clutching bouquets from their Haywards Heath garden, she said: "We are here to show that we support the Royal Family and that there are still people out here who love them and believe in them.

"The Queen Mother is the head of the household - the others do a very good job as well - but she shows the spirit of the country, the resilience to keep going throughout the worst times and the best times.

"She keeps smiling through it all, which is what being British is all about."

 

13/1/99 Hurrah a  bumper ad for the Clair Hall's events appeared in the local press recently!!  Finally we can bring a touch of class to the dreary night life of the Heath, read on my compadre's:-

Bond - The World is Not Enough - experience the visual feast of Bond 19 on less than THX equipment on the 27th Jan 2000 - the tag line "Bond is Back!"

Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band - its another rhythm and blues band... apparently they are promising a "Stokin" evening on the 28th Jan 2000 - the tag line "don't miss it!"

Sooty's Magic Factory 11th Feb 2000 - watch Richard Cadell stuffs his sweaty paw in a yellow and black mit... then watch him do the same thing with a Sooty puppet (Ho!)  Apparently guest starring Sweep, Soo and that Little Cousin SCAMPI!

Counterfeit Stones 27th Feb 2000- hmmmm I wonder who they're a tribute band for eh?  And way you can catch their "Jumpin' Jack Flash Tour" right here right now in Heath world!

Three other Tenors 5th March 2000 - WHO?  apparently they are from the Welsh National Opera - bring your sheep and lumps of coal!

Ludwig Beatles 17th March 2000 - another tribute band!!!!  Hurrah not as good as the fantastic four (I personally like Thing - "Its Stomping Time!").

The Nualas 23 March - "Shimmering Goddesses of Irish Comedy, hmmm....  show me what they look like!!!!

Dennis Locorriere 2nd April 2000 - WHAT?!!??  Apparently the voice of Dr Hook.....  WHO???!!!!  apparently back due to popular demand..... from WHO!!??!?!!

PHIL COOL!!! 5th April 2000 - he's back on a second whirlwind plasticine faced comedic extravaganza of the Heath....  Please someone ask him, did Phil Cool lose his Cool and when can we expect another series!!!

If you are interested in any of these errrrr varied events call the Hall on 01444 455440!  NICE!

13/1/00 Bouncy Castle Lost - Police are eager to track down the whereabouts of a children's bouncy castle!!!  If you spot the blue and pink castle with pictures of clowns (what the millennium dome organisers?) playing musical instruments (yes I know there are plenty of those about!)  Please contact PC Steve Boyle of Burgess Hill police!

18/12/99 Xmas Shopping Fiasco - We thank the selfish businessmen and women in their shirts and ties, who parked their cars in the all day free xmas shopping spaces.  Thank you very much your greed and selfishness only serves to prove how inherently sad you all are!!!  "But I must park my Tigra here"  Anyway thanks for moving into HH, just means that we locals have to move out 'cos you rich selfish good for nothin's have managed to push up property prices and ruin our town.  Now that's off our collective chests - bugger off!! I'm fed up with cabbage water, its not enough!

18/12/99 Saint Pierre Revisited "GEEEEEEENNNNIUSSS" - Hmmm, a comedy genius wrote on the board up frontage of said burnt out establishment "Sex Toys R Us coming soon".  GEEEEENNNNNIIUUUSSSS, we need more people like you!!!

2/12/99 Non to market - looks like no french market for Burgees, apparently over some confusion over permission, we salute the Council for standing up to all things French!!

2/12/99 The Blair Bitch Project - Tony Blair has not decided to reprieve Mid Sussex from its housing nightmare.  Yet another turn around by Mr Blairs.... apparently a Downing Street spokesperson said that misleading newspaper reports had "over cooked" the story, errrr doesn't that happen to be our local Middy perchance?

11/99 - "Dave Baker is Shit"  On the side of the Oxfam shop in South Road for the past few years there has been some graffiti proclaiming some one's shitness (picture to come later!)  If anyone can elaborate on why this person is errr for want of a better word not good, then please tell us... we're dying to find out!

11/99 - The World is Not Enough - bored of the Heath?  Than go and watch a movie... yes Bond is back and his first shag is within the first 20 minutes (NICE!)

11/99 - Saint Pierre - Arson!!! - The Broadway never ceases to amaze with its bizarre goings on's.  Earlier in the year we had a pissed off shift worker brandishing an air pistol on the roof tops, which led to the evacuation of the French Market.  to that mad woman and her chums shouting run Forest run to a chap running to the HSBC cashpoint. And now the burning of the Saint Pierre Bistrot!  Allegedly arson...  

20/8/99 Jo Brand - yes Haywards Heath continues to attract the stars who are at the nearing the end of their car-rears.  The fat comedienne (pardon my french) saunters down to the Clair Hall, for her unique brand of vulgar unfunny "cake" this, "cake" that humour in October.

29/07/99 Drink Warning - If you are a minor and intend to drink feckin' drink! Then watch out, 'cos the rozzers are going to bust your collective asses if you're caught!  Yes and your alcohol will be poured away, oh and you maybe arrested and taken home to your folks..... 

24/6/99 Paul Young - laid his hat at our very own Clair Hall (whilst the Martlets has the pick of Beverly Craven and David "Hutch" Soul!).  I guess our town is a place for all old pop stars to go out to pasture?

24/6/99 Burgess Hill - attention appears to be shifting to the Hill in terms of it's well, hmm.... not so greatness.  Well that's the general persuasiveness of the Middy's news team.  If that wasn't enough they are continuing the theme through to the "those were the days" when 10 years ago, they reported that the the "At the moment we are living in a stench in Burgess Hill".  Well that's err a nice fact to share...

6/6/99 Gun Drama At Market - Haywards Heath now has the annual french market which is not so bad.  Okay the prices are bad, but it's nice to have a bit of culture despite the fact it's french and we had to help them out in WW2.  Anyhow that's beside the point, the point is that an idiot thought it would be funny to point his air rifle at the street (the Broadway) below.  So the area had to be evacuated, police SWAT teams and a helicopter were called in.  Anyway the idiot gots his butt busted and due to appear in court.  We salute you sir, for being a stoopid idiot!

5/6/99 Nice one, Simon Coleman writes:

Hiya,

If HH is the heart of mid sussex, that must make burgess hill somewhere near the anus :-)

And the sign outside the Princess Royal has dissappeared . . .

Come on you Burgies stick up for your town, we know it can't all be shell suits and wideboys... that was the early 90s!! - (ED)

 

6/5/99 Suede's Flight - Brett Anderson's been at it again, no matter where he goes he disses the Heath - whats really there to diss ;-).  Anyway this is what he said in an interview with The Times "It's got no history and no community.  When you're there, it's just dead time."  Although he dropped out of Manchester University and then went to UCL the toffee nosed idiot then goes on to say "I wanted to get as far away from Haywards Heath as possible".

15/4/99 Paul Gosling News - he's been found!!!   Well he found me with my ready meals at the checkout at the breeze (see Gloss for that one).  Apparently he left school became a sheet metal worker is engaged and has two sprogs....  well I think that's what he said.  Anyway we salute you and all your friends in the Franklynns Village area!

15/4/99 Local Elections - damn you

15/4/99 Triangle Safety Defended - damn you Queen, you've opened a death trap!!!  well management are denying this... damn you God why did you allow this to happen!

15/4/99 Man indecently exposes himself - wot?   Apparently in his late teens the flasher goes around asking the time and flashing at women.  And then he runs away towards Sainsbury's - giving a whole new meaning to the meat and two veg conundra and the phrase "keep em peeled"

1/4/99 Just a Perfect Day - the Queen

4/3/99 Taking Toll - remember the snippet to the right, well folks, it looks like I scooped the Middy on this one.. Yo!!  However the reason why that the goddamn things are there is simple!  It's to stop traffic "mounting" the kerb.... why on earth didn't they just get !

wpe6.jpg (18068 bytes)

25/2/99 Council Tax Double the rate of inflation - looks like the council found a black hole in the budget, damnit they knew they had a pot of gold sitting in the council coffers before the "Haywards Heath, The Heart Of Mid Sussex" signs went up... (err that's satire... didn't you geddit?)

13/2/99 Valentine's Day - Err cheers for the card, you didn't really leave much as a clue as to who you are... anyway thanks... brush up on the handwriting and I'm still around ... signed the sexy one behind the counter

20/2/99 Kelly's Services - Congratulations Kelly's - from a chance meeting with all the Kelly's girls (well they were all a little tipsy espesh Nicki), apparently they have won the branch of the year award!  And yes they did manage to get me some work with Lloyds...

18/2/99 Zoe's mum celebrates proposal - well since her mum lives in Burgess Hill and were a little stuck for news, Zoe Ball's gonna get hitched to baldy dance mixer Norman Cook (or Not fat but dim to his fans).  Well good on you!

11-2-99 Is this area deprived ? - Part of HH have been dubbed "disadvantaged" well that's thats how the Health Authority scored HH! Apparently it takes into account the unemployed, unskilled workers, elderly people and single parents, overcrowding and non-car ownership.  Well that puts a new perspective on middle class heathies ..... When a Big Issue seller was recently asked for his views, he shouted some abuse, £1 was exchanged and this reporter had a copy of the magazine!

07/02/99 - WOT!!! - If you happen to be near The Star, our lovely council have planted two rather random lumps of metal - for some reason...

wpe6.jpg (18068 bytes)

04/02/99 - Buddhists win cell-mates fight - The

04/02/99 - Salad Days are over - The Saladysentry bar at Sains has been closed for good.  Well done Middy.... I just wonder how many people lost their jobs over that one eh??  I just can't wait for the new food tax... just in time for multi food conglomerate sains eh?

28/1/99 - Jon Gregory News - Outrage Over Sea Of Mud - When the boy is back , he does it with style, no less than 2 weeks back in the Heath, he stars in the Middy - Back from a trip to Manchester to find that his car had been lifted up and "dumped in a pile of mud and muck!"  We'll be keeping tabs to see if our local rags to riches boy beats our media hungry Soames in to print!  It's not quantity is the quality that counts!

wpe39971.gif (52010 bytes)

"Jon Gregory perched on Vauxhall Cavalier Mk1, smoking a fag!"

16/1/99 - Jon Gregory News - it was last known that JG went off the boil sometime ago.   But we can exclusively reveal that he is still alive!!  I bumped into him in Our Price and we spoke about things... apparently he's into international removals and is off to Spain for some more sun and work.  Oh and when asked if "he was off the shit!" he said "yeah, I've been off it for a while and feel better for it!".
14/1/99 - Communications Breakdown is threat to BMX Track - looks like they really fuxed up here.  After all the hoo hah over whether we need a BMX track in Victoria Park, those who were going to use it, buggered off to university to spend out tax money! 
14/1/99 - Twelvth Night - Guess what Sains still have their
7/1/99 - Here's what we Heathies have to look forward to in 1999
First phase of relief road and houses to thte south west of town.
Town week 3-10 July will feature a special
possible band stand in Victoria Park... err why?  It'll cause havoc with our footy!
Town council continues to beautify the town with flower baskets and seats in the civic colours of black and gold... which will be nice!
The twin towns of Bondues (French) and Traunstein (Germany) will have our tax monies lavished upon them to celebrate being twinned with what is surely West Sussex's dullest town Sat 27th March.
