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?

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'.

      Fireworks

      By Insuflo · Posted

      The amount of fireworks noise over a wide area last night couldn’t have just been teenagers messing around. I’m presuming that St. Andrew’s Day (or the eve of) has now been added the ever lengthening list of dates that some people feel need to be marked with ordnance. It doesn’t really matter whether the police or council is responsible for enforcement; if the launch site or the person lighting the touch-paper can’t be identified, how are they supposed to do anything? The only solution is to end the sale of fireworks to the public, which the Fire Brigades Union has lobbied for for decades. All governments since the ‘70s have resisted this. Otherwise, pressure local councils to withhold licenses to retailers. More regulation not less, which goes against the mantra of both Labour and Tories. I personally don’t give business to some local newsagents, who now spend a quarter of the year promoting the sale of fireworks.

      Hole saw to borrow

      By bidvid · Posted

      Hi, Is the worktop timber?  I may have one, I need to check sizes later today.  Would a spade bit do or do you specifically want a hole saw?

      But isn’t that massive construction effort the prerequisite to solve the housing problems?  or is there another way?

      I don't think we need to worry too much about that. There would have to be a massive amount of new construction very quickly to keep housing costs level, let alone depressing existing house prices.
