Fantasy Lordship Lane

[Brendan]

Ahhh. Methinks some editing is in order.

There would be the following shops on LL if I had my way:

? A good barbers. Where you can get a high quality professional haircut from a properly qualified barber for ?10, a shave for an extra fiver and read magazines in comfortable armchairs while you wait.

? A shop that stocks the various real-ales and ciders that these islands produce (and choice imports) with staff knowledgeable of their histories and production techniques.

? Tobacconists of similar ilk run by and old Chinese guy with a long white beard who also makes and sells his own fireworks and periodically blows up the laboratory behind the shop with his experiments.

? A guitar shop that restores old guitars. Run by a bad tempered but brilliant luthier and his attractive, young and musically talented female assistant.

? A garage that restores classic cars.

? 24hr pizzeria

? A place to have breakfast that is somewhere in-between a kaf and a caf? (where you can get a fry-up and a smoothie) run by big-bosomed, motherly ladies with dirty aprons who call everyone luv.

? A confectioner who bakes fresh muffins and scones every morning and does cakes to order and always smells of gingerbread.

And there are many more.

Like the sound of the guitar shop! (well the assistant mainly) ;-)

Blimey, we've well and truly wandered in to Fantasy Lordship Lane. Can we add a branch of Ollivanders so I can buy a magic wand! (Or would that make them a chain?)

Incidentally, your posting problem is caused by Viagra. >:D< Honestly! It's picked up by an anti-spam filter and words like special-ist contain the more scientific name for the drug buried in them. Why you're allowed to use the 'Viagra' word itself is a bit of a mystery.

[Brendan]

Ollivander?s exploits labour in the 3rd dimension to produce their wands I?m afraid.

I used to have a W123 (a 1981 electric blue 200). I loved that car! I remember taking it on the open road from Johannesburg to Cape Town a few years ago as one of the most amazing driving experiences I have ever had.

Apologies if someone has already generated a similar thread but WTF is going on at the cop shop?

If i'm not mistaken it has a proper case of concrete cancer.

Bits falling off it.

Proper dangerous.

Will that mean it gets knocked down?

If so, how long will the pigsty be out for?

How many houses can I burgle in that time?

The Cloak?

Cloak, I believe the last thread I read on the police station suggested it was destined to become a block of 'luxury' flats. Can't remember if this is speculation or whether someone has actually applied for planning...
