The Diary
I did the right thing
IT was some ten years ago, while pub manager Trevor Wraith was looking to buy his own boozer, a friend mentioned the derelict Kelham Island Tavern, in Russell Street, was for sale.
A fine plan in General
IT is one of Sheffield’s most magnificent architectural gems, a stunning grade II* listed 19th Century chapel which, when opened in 1836, was considered one of the grandest buildings in the city.
X marks the shot
IT begins with breakfast in Lilia’s cafe (“bacon and tomatoes, well done”), and concludes some 12 hours later with a pint in the Parson Cross pub.

THEY say you can’t trust politicians - and certainly it seems Denis MacShane’s Twitter doesn’t always stand up to scrutiny.
‘At the end of the Wei... it’s a game of two halves’
WEI Yidong has more than 100,000 followers on the Chinese version of Twitter and rarely goes out in Beijing without being asked for his autograph.
Manicure, massage, facial and lecture
THAT’S a sports story for the boys. Now how about some make-up news for the girls?
A brisk walk down memory lane...
SIMON Robinson had been collecting old photos for more than three decades when, two years ago, his sister noticed something rather peculiar.
Colin Drury: A lottery win just might change me
