I detest the term "needless to say" because, if that is the case, why are you saying it?
I also dislike written use of "Um...". I think it should only be used for verbal filler if you can't think of the next word you want to put in your sentence. There's no reason for it to be written since you could just go back and get rid of it once you find the word you want to use.
