Great News! I can stock up on plastic storage boxes. Might even splash out on a ?3 Toaster or treat myself to that Jethro dvd I've had my eye on.

Went to pay my respects this morning. At 9.15 it was the most full I've ever seen it. Frankly not many bargains, though I was tempted by a ?2 Mario Lanzo double CD.


Couldn't be arsed to queue.


Returned for a little light therapy after visiting the dentist and was denied entry by a very shady bouncer on the grounds that the queues were too long.


Hmm. If only such 'loyalty' had been shown before ...

PGC, I'm surprised at you.

Surely in the spirit of the Drinking Song, you should have been inspired to go round the corner to the Greyhound, get langered and gone back and nicked the bleeder.

I'm not of course privy to Mario Lanza's methods of going about things, but I have a feeling he would have wanted it that way.

Ah Porterhouse Blue, when Tom Sharpe was good. Think I'll reread it.

    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
