Only one photo? Surely more to follow.

It’s a magical place and of course North Sea Ferries is only 20 minutes drive away from me.

JMB, actually no, balancing the accounts loomed largest in my mind, I had a spreadsheet formula error that made it £40 out. Now sorted and the box has gone off to the auditor.

JMB, Morley is full of “luxury apartments” in converted buildings and they are hard to sell, especially with a recession on. A theatre is also probably the least suitable building to convert, along with churches.

Tbrobb, they will want to watch us when we are sleeping as well, after all it is just data.

N, it can be demolished, but only by permission, the same as a listed building. St Pauls House was presumably demolished based on outline permission for a replacement and I can’t entirely recall where the conservation area boundary runs so it might not have been constrained anyway. You don’t need permission to demolish an unlisted building, just follow the right procedure.

They knocked the building next door down. Was that outside the conservation area?
Or is the Pavilion a listed building?

Shades — one day we’ll have to time in and out of consciousness so the government know when to watch us.

Can’t turn it into condos?

Not another liar. The world is rife with them.

I see you got to post after all. I would call the post This and That but I guess the website problems loomed largest in your mind.

Colin, My Granddads returned from WWII with shrapnel but no lasting damage.

And the boom and bust cycle, regulated out of existence by Tony and Gordon. Fantastic work boys.

Very nice Ian. My grandfather came back from the Great War without one of his ear drums. He went on to have a family and a successful career. So many others did not.

One of my friends is a warden, he works very hard and diligently, most of the time!

Nigel, Perhaps it was down to the wardens who diligently check the machines are working before issuing tickets.

After your comments about the ticket machines, I emailed LCC, so perhaps it was Mr F who sorted it, or perhaps it was down to us.

Comment on One (not) for the ladies by Techno Mystic

About bloody time. Gillette recently withdrew its original Sensor blades after about 15 years on the market forcing me to buy the more expensive Sensor Excel, and those 7 blade cartridges are just ridiculous. I changed to Asda and Boots own brand in protest. They’re admittedly not so good but I can’t sniff at 10 cartridges for £2.

A good article in the FT recently:

Thrrobb, thanks for your thanks. It is only the original default template- but it kinda fits!

JMB, I’ll probably buy one if I see it, but not in ASDA yet.

N, the musical toothbrushes sound really pointless- but they’re not, the longer you brush, the more effective it is. Brushing for two minutes without a timer is tedious. My toothbrush shuts down after two minutes but it feels like five.
