My sentiments exactly. @Gordie - you forgot to mention drugs. What with the raid less than a minutes walk from there, a few months back. Thanks for the link.

At the bottom where it meets Abbeydale Road. Officers are combing the street. Anyone know what's going on? In as much as can be said on here, that is. Much more tape round here and I might start worrying.

I don't think even Israel could survive the level of bad press that would bring. Although many seem to have no problem with the fact that the US (Mr Truman) woke up one morning and decided to kill millions of innocent Japanese civilians. Twice. The idea that Britain should sacrifice what threads of integrity it has left to bail out Israel's poor attitude, is terrible. It's dog eat dog. Iran can play if they want to.

I don't know much about the changes as I've only been here for a year. Definitely liked the arrival of the new station area though. I wonder what is being built next to it? I was looking at Park Hill stuff, because I kept wondering what that monstrosity on the hill was, and found this page about the re-development. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=310836 And in it I found this superb photo of Park Hill. Mixed reactions expected of course. http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=464986123&size=l

I'm not big on small talk, or very good at it for that matter. I remember starting a new job where I was sat next to a couple of people who I quickly realised I had nothing in common with. Sat there all day in front of a computer. One of them often was away from her desk. The other just liked to talk utter childish rubbish and wasn't really interested in what other people thought. After a week of me being very quiet and not starting any conversations, he literally shouted 'SPEAK!'. I laughed it off, and placated the little **** a bit more from then on. It was a long year though. Sometimes people are quiet because they are surrounded by morons.

I was just wondering what caused it. Do you know what/where etc? I was sat at my computer just before midnight. Then black. I got candles, bread, cheese and sweet chilli sauce. A helicopter came by and hovered a while. An hour later I heard the reassuring clunk of the VCR coming on. I'm nearby the Newsagent on Empire Road.
