It's public space, surely the school are free to use it if they want? If British Military Fitness and other organisations can use it, I don't see why a school shouldn't be able to.

When it was open, nobody went there. It's not a case of it being less profitable than flats, it's a case of it not making any money at all. Yes I guess it is sad that pubs are being lost, but I don't think it really applies round here. There is a good variety of pubs and bars within easy walking distance. If the government refused permission to turn it into flats, we'd just have an empty pub on the corner. I'd prefer the building to be put to good use and looked after.

What's the problem converting it into flats? Apparently it wasn't viable as a pub...

You'd have to be a fool to bet against Pacquiao in his current form. Does Khan v Malignaggi intrigue anyone? Could be Amir's toughest test so far...

Yeah, if it's a proper charity them I'd donate a bit of money towards their flight or something. But if it's blatantly a year of backpacking/drinking/partying... no way!

I guess if you want to sell up and get out it's fine. But this isn't healthy for the majority of us!

Really sorry to hear that, hope you have a speedy recovery, and it doesn't knock your confidence too much. I'm surprised that park isn't locked up after dark. Have you reported it to the police?

Not really. Especially not if it involves interrogating a councillor about things happening outside of his ward.

Turn the volume down on your computer, and up on your speakers.

I think it sounds quite reasonable. I wouldn't expect the police to visit every home to check whether they have a dog, but it could allow them to take potentially dangerous dogs away from irresponsible owners.

Narnia/Declan... what's your problem?

Exactly... I'm sure the Church St hotel is great, but I'm not sure who it's aimed at. I'm not writing the area off, just stating a fact... when you check into a hotel, there isn't a third box next to "business" and "leisure" that says "sod all".

I had a similar moment once. I sold a Marshall 4x12 for as much as it was worth new. I felt especially bad when I dropped it off, and found out the buyer was a teenage kid, and I'd just taken several months of paper-round money off him. I momentarily thought about giving him some cash back, but instead chose to offer some important advice in the ways of rock. Far more valuable, and I left with a clear conscience.

Somehow I think Alan Dale is taking the piss. Believe it or not. Frankly I would be surprised if even Travelodge were interested. There is nothing else in the vicinity to warrant a hotel.

Actually, I think prices are almost back to pre-recession levels. Still hard to get a decent 3-bed house for under 500k, and there seem to be plenty of buyers around. I'm really surprised at how quickly the market has sprung back.

Why does it matter? If you don't agree with his assumption, just ignore it...

Can't see who'd want to open a hotel there, but you never know...
