>> but you cant get upset because someone wants to build two buildings next to each other that happen to be tall and exploding in a sort of pluming office furniture and burning jet fuel fashion


No you're right, its a classic architectural design pattern ;)

The colloquial use of the term ?believe? really gets to me. Someone just asked me if I ?believe? in the national infrastructure plan.


Well there is a copy of it sitting on my desk but I concede that this alone is not reliable proof of its existence.


The look on their face indicated that they weren?t trying to pass the afternoon by considering a philosophical conundrum.


I wonder if this world will wake up tomorrow to find that it is actually a butterfly that was just dreaming that is was a universe filled with inane annoyance.

I believe it may.

LOL....I think those pics maxxi show just how different the two buildings are, rather than how similar they are but I have to admit that it may be that the 'cloud' idea was inspired by the twin towers. I still think the result is an interesting and attractive building....although I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea.

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
