Asset..

I'm not slagging off nice things. I like nice things. In fact, I really like nice things.

I go out of my way to find them though, rather than flicking through 'Wallpaper', watching Grand Designs and then nipping down Mrs R to 'live the dream'. Such shops are like interior-design versions of those 'GET THE LOOK!!' pages in Grazia/Chat/Heat/Blah magazine.


Here's a puzzler.

You pop down Mrs R and buy a 'retro!!' sputnik chandelier. It cost a few hundred quid. By the time you get it home, it's worth zilch quid. It looks a bit new and rubbish, but it obviously cost a bob or two so you're happy.


or


You take ten minutes to find one of the countless 60s/70s sputnikky chandeliers. It costs a few hundred quid. By the time you get it home, it's still worth a few hundred quid. It's got a bit of character and charm and you don't see the same one hanging-up next door. And you found it, so that makes you feel kinda chirpy.


As Graham from 'Blind Date' would say.. "The decision.. is yours!"

Bob - I'd get a big farm with woodland and a fast flowing stream on a relatively high piece of land.

I'd also install solar panels, windmills and a water mill and convert loads of the barns into homes for my kids, grandkids, Dad, brothers and any mates who want to come too.


Why are you gona buy one for me??


Maybe I should set up a charity and raise money to help all the landless chavs to become peasants and subsitance farmers again.

Sounds awesome. You could have paintball and white water rafting. You'd make a bundle out of stag dos.

Hi Karter,


As someone in the know re property in ED any ideas which brave soul has taken on the old Design Six site on Upland Road? and if it's not too cheecky can you give up which site on NCR was going to be the new coffee shop?


Eccentric

well I don't know, but voting is better than not voting. What did Emily Pankhurst chain herself to railings for? Anyway, I thought we'd established that chav is not a class thing but we can assume chav means working class now. There's no one out there that is doing it for me either and I suppose I am 'middle class' whatever that is.

At least vote for a marginal party if the big ones don't cut it but not voting at all is apathetic.

That's why I'm in the Green Party, they are a mad mix of all kinds of people, although there are some in the party at the moment, trying to turn us into a clone of the other grey parties. Hopefully they will not succeed, but history tells us that any egalitarian/revolutionary party always gets sidetracked (infiltrated?) and watered down the closer they get to 'power'.

    • OK so we are having our annual conversation about getting aircon fitted, as our west-facing loft turns into an ACTUAL FURNACE whenever the temperature goes over 25 degrees. (It's 33 degrees in here now and that's with the blackout blinds closed all day.) We have Velux windows that are hinged in the middle so I think a portable unit is out of the question as it would be a nightmare with the vent. So maybe we just need to bite the bullet and get a proper unit installed. Has anyone had experience of doing this, particularly in a loft? Any things to watch out for/recommendations for installers, and would you be willing to say how much it cost (I'm seeing wildly varying prices quoted online)? I know it's a lot of money for only a few days a year but as the summers are getting hotter it's becoming more of an issue every year. Any advice appreciated!
    • Well we already have a top class gym with a reformer Pilates studio at Fitfor.  I don’t think they’ve found it easy over the years to make money. We could end up with none. There’s also Core just opened in Upland Rd doing massage therapy. All these places won’t be here in 12 months I’m afraid to say.
    • Todays the day, which option will we get  All will be evealed in the next exciting episode of "tooley street"  (que bum bum bums) 
    • Noticed the bollard (big bell shaped one) has again been torn up. Wonder how many times this has happened over the years and how much it's cost.
