honouring the dead
theres little more pleasurable than a truly scathing review, unless it's an acid obituary.
"It was his sanctimony that was to be his ultimate undoing in 1977 when he was forced to resign for his part in the Poulson financial scandal. Not long after his adoption in Bournemouth, the Chichester Conservative MP Henry Kirby had told me that local Tory women activists were up in arms about this success - by a man they dared not leave alone with their early-teen daughters"

how dull
finally plans for the new england site in brighton have been unveiled, and they couldn't be duller. the new england site was identified in the tall buildings strategy as a good place for tall buildings, it is, and given the citys bounding by the downs and the sea, the only place to build is up. but the recent plans for the marina, the black rock ice rink and the last sets of plans for the king alfred (of which ghery's towering trannies was the winner) as well as the new library building currently being constructed show aesthetic flare and sensitivities to the sites. this is a giant glass stick full of rooms.
could there not be something just a little more fabulous for the new england site?
