Dear Piers, Congrats from me too. though i don't know you, I think i was with you at least once over the weekend - not I think the forum drinkies (were you there?) or even the fair but from what i heard you were at Wembley on Sat. As a stevenage boy I was there too. 2-0 dowm, 3-2 win. Magic.

Thanks Citizen. I couldn't make the drinks as I was busy destroying huguenot and all his old pals at his stag do.

But we got 8 of us down to wembley in the end (a couple of no-shows sadly) and it was a fantastic experience, brilliant turnout from both sets of fans. I'm actually a Letchworth boy but as we had no real team it was always Broadhall Way for us.


Great game too, though I suspect Huguenot's still sulking just a tiny bit.

(not as much a Neil Warnock though, ho ho "What goes around comes around and maybe Chelsea will win the FA Cup and AC Milan the Champions League." Silly man.)

Oh, the cost of those huge Irish weddings. I have just been talking to a colleague about the hugeness of the whole thing.


The sandwiches and tea at 3 am are a particularly good touch to keep you going.


Of course the non-Irish contingent will need to be instructed to learn a song.


But you knew that already.

Oh indeedy!

Happiest Yoda in the world I am!


La Preghiera was apparently the 5th best place to get married in the world, according to last year's Independent. As DM would say, Tuscany is so last year


Magical day is 9th June. Honeymoon in SA. Got to buy a bloody impressive wildlife lens for the camera as special treat. Mockers, which one should I get?


Harrumph. No dancing emoticon. :))

    • @ ed pete "there still has to be the demand". I don't know but wondering if developers have been able to make a case based on the increase in demand from 2023-2024. The research I looked at said demand had risen by 500 in that period,  but was still below an all time high in 2022.   There will be others who know much more about this area who can give the rationale in favour; perhaps this latest govt. research is incorrect or only gives part of the story. My point is if, as seems likely, this development does little to solve the current housing crisis at local level for the non student population, I hope that the council is very, very sure that this level of student accommodation is warranted at this location. I have not managed to look at the plans in detail but how sustainable are the plans for the build; how will it be heated, what about impact on water and waste services?    
    • There is also I believe some evidence that students are choosing to go to universities, where they do, closer to home so as to avoid additional costs by living at home. Personally I think this is a mistake - being an undergraduate is a first chance for independence - but if economics and costs are making this so the demand for accommodation such as this will again be weakened.
    • A good plumber - Ade Okoosi. He came to do some plumbing for a new kitchen at a flat in Camberwell, sealed up a gas pipe and put in some taps and a thermostatic shower. On another occasion he rapidly removed a radiator. Would definitely use again.  Ade 07961981944
    • Interesting the projected demand.  One imagines that you don't undertake this kind of investment without the business case to back it up.  There's one going up near a friends office in the City that is for 782 students.  OK, these are much closer to HE establishments but there still has to be the demand. https://dominusrealestate.co.uk/projects/65crutchedfriars/
