The dome project was a way to clean toxic British gas soil at the tax payers expense. Then the dome was put up educationally. Boxes ticked. Then all the now semi non toxic land can be sold off cheap to developers.
I worked around British gas at the time. Dodgy as

The best I ever did was silent disco on the embankment. Close enough that we could see the fireworks out on a balcony then we headed back inside to drink and dance. One of the best New Year's I had- probably had a fair bit to do with drugs and the loo availability but still!

Did you see about the UK's lonliest sheep getting rescued? I love that she's called Fiona.

Resc-ewed: Britain's loneliest sheep saved from shoreline

The sheep was stranded beneath cliffs on a remote Scottish shoreline for at least two years.

Not too far from me Cammy's got her shorn now, she's in great condition for two years on her own.

Awww Sidey B, I'm thrilled for you

I think I saw a frau in Tesco earlier, she was buying 24 cans of cherry Pepsi Max.

Sideboard Cat has decided she's going to start sitting in the kitchen sink then when I shout at her, she runs in the living room and jumps up in front of my computer to whip me with her soggy tail. She's also absolutely destroying my washing up sponge. She's lucky she's the most beautiful cat I've ever laid eyes on or she'd be shown the door.

It could be worse, she could be whipping you with water out of the loo.

What on earth?!

LEAVE FIONA ALONE !!!!

 

[ForgettyBetty]

They've decided that homing her to a petting zoo after rehab will be exploitation and she won't like the attention. Not sure what they think she'd rather do...

I think the South Bank NYE, Magic Kingdom and end of Edinburgh Festival fireworks are my fave firework experiences, in that order. Oh and the fireworks of Björk's face at Reading 95 were memorable!

I used to love standing on the Mound with a pocket radio when the Festival fireworks were timed to the live concert. Shame they don't do it any more. And I wouldn't do the London ones again for toilet/getting cold reasons.

The firefall from the castle was in the 90’s

Oh yeah that was like magic! A curtain of fire!
