I don't think it disconnects the city centre from the suburbs to any greta extent, in fact I would say it actually directs any traffic on the ring road to the district/suburb they are trying to get to. With regards to walking into and around the City Centre' agree that the underpasses are not...

For me the Ring Road is fantastic in every way. Have never though of it as ugly or a concrete collar chocking the City, just a very effective and efficient way of getting round the City. Visually it does not offend me in any way and would be upset to see the council dismantle it or mess it...

Have just finished watching The Stranger on Netflix, eight episodes of utter dross and no idea why I watched all eight episodes (must be the pandemic). It has the stupidest most ludicrous conclusion imaginable.

Fish aka Derek William Dick............fucking well named if you ask me!!

About ten years ago (could be longer) found out we had a rat in the outhouse which is next to the garage. Called the council and they came straight round and dealt with it. No idea if they still have such a service (given the cuts) but remember being impressed at the time. Do you know anyone...

Have watched the architects presentation of what they propose to do. If I have got it right they are going to build a new pavilion roughly where the Bull Yard is that would incorporate the market (am assuming all the vendors in the market would re locate there) together with 'pop up' shops, but...

Try Times Radio. Have been listening to it for a week on and off. It's a bit like Radio 5 used to be before it became a woman's station.

Agree, it does look awkward when you see it against the spire and think it could have been done more sympathetically. Two years ago was in Melbourne and did a walking tour around the city, the guide told us that over there the view now is that if you are putting a new building up, it should...

Read it, gives a pretty balanced view in fairness. Think the time has come to redevelop the Bull Yard and Hartford Street as they are both a real eyesore. The article seemed to suggest that with such areas the present buildings should be utilised into the redevelopment and not knocked down...

Since Christmas have not really had a drink at all, not a deliberate decision just how it is. Pre lockdown I would be on it quite a bit, especially at the weekend. Not missing it to be fair, but as soon as the pubs open up again it will be business as usual.

When the Nightingale Hospitals were built all local hospitals were instructed to send a proportion of their staff off to be trained to work in them when they became functional. No one extra was employed to staff them (as far as I am aware) so hospitals lost staff while they went off and got...

Hope things go well for her Houch, fingers crossed.

Agree Houch, in relation to the Misses she also got to meet her cousin who has developed into a sister she never had, and an Aunt who she is also very close to. It's quite ironic really as she has made links with several Aunts and cousins and they all seem to think that her brother is a fucking...

Similar story but not exactly the same. My wife was adopted as a six week old baby, it was never a secret and the parents who adopted her (whom she always refers to as her parents) loved her and cherished her throughout their lives. After about six years of being married she decided she was...

Good luck, and you are right, what will be will be.

I remember the Swanswell Tavern but never being brave enough to go in it!!

Of all the people who have fucked the NHS up over the last twenty years that c**t is in a category all of his own.

Would have been there NOW if it wasn't for the pandemic. Reckon Australia will keep Europeans out for a long time, they get shitty if you take an apple from one state to another so no way will they relax border controls until the are absolutely sure everything is ok. Trouble is that flying will...

Seems obvious now but just heard Tommy Docherty has passed away.
