Yeah I agree with you Maurice. I was just being facetious. You see it all over the place. Someone decides to build a brand spanking new shopping area in a town and in 6 months time it?s a dump again. You can?t regenerate an area just by building new shops (unless there really aren?t any and there is demand for them) you need a population who are going to fill them. Pump the money into education and you will see the regeneration in 20 years time.

Forward to the next evolutionary split in the human race. I would like to see what types of different animals our current species is going to evolve into. Or perhaps we just die out. In which case back to the 1920s to kill Hitler.

What would middle class design be then? Is there such a thing a working class design or upper class design? What about lower class or does such a thing exist? (Perhaps it just refers to people who make less than 50k a year) Does this all have something to do with the accent of the architect? Where would surveyors and engineers fit in? Not with the plumbers surely. Is there perhaps something in the way middle class people walk around an area that requires it to be designed in a certain way to stop them from accidentally walking into betting shops?

I was wondering when someone was going to notice that little non-pc and potentially offencive quip. It?s a good thing I didn?t say it.

Welcome to the forum D?Artagnan. Sorry to sound sarcastic buy I just didn?t for a moment think that you were being in any way serious. Stick around for a while (It?s great fun) and you will see why. The chains vs independent is a much-discussed topic. One that I don?t get involved in anymore but everyone, like I said, has their opinions and I think both sides are pretty well represented on here. Although a 24 hr MacDonald?s? Seriously?

Bloody liberals.

Lol. So it was you making that face at everyone on the bus this morning.

Yeah it is very much in Daily Mash style. (Either that or they are the ones copying me) Thanks Mockney for introducing me to it. >:D< EDITED because I neglected to include prepositions in my sentences.

A lady with a clipboard stopped me in the street the other day.. She said, "Can you spare a few minutes for cancer research?" I said, "All right, but we won't get much done.

Dun dun daaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!:)-D

Meshuggah

Either a fixed time of prayer of the Divine Office of almost all the traditional Christian liturgies or a comune in the Province of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont or an EP by Swedish metal band Meshuggah. (according to wikipedia but who can tell)

Listen *Bob* I thought we agreed to let the Foxton?s thing lie.

Around 5 by my reckoning.

After being dismissed for 81 runs in their 1st innings against Sri Lanka the following statement has been issued from the England dressing room, ?It?s a shit game anyway!? The tearful captain, Michael Vaughn said ?What do you expect from us, all dressed up in white and sent to stand on a field all day with nothing better to do than argue about who is going to get to rub the ball in their crotch?? Kevin Pietersen and Mat Prior were last seen heading for the next flight to South Africa dressed in khaki shorts and bush hats. When asked what they were doing they shouted something in Afrikaans that roughly translated means, ?You can take your county contracts and citizenship offers and stick them up your arse. We?re not playing anymore.? Meanwhile Monty Panesar is refusing to speak to anyone and has taken to pensively sharpening a Ghurka knife on his shin pads and Steve Harmison and Paul Collinwood have started a petition to have all of England North of the river Tees re-zoned as Scottish.

Good point. Anyway that would free up space for a Tiger Tiger.

You don't even want to know.

72 for 9

I?m sure there is space for at least 2 Wagamamas along Lordship Lane. Where should we put the Walkabout?

70 for 7.

Just be glad you didn?t listen to the kind of music I did when I was a teenager Sean. I remember one particularly embarrassing occasion when my dear old mom asked that I explain to her what the following NOFX lyric meant ? ?They may not go down in history but they?ll go down on your sister.?

I?m just holding thumbs that the new owners of the CPT turn it into a Yate?s - We can call it the CPY.

And turn the Bishop into a TGI Fridays!

That is probably the word of the year! In fact google it and you get the EDF.
