    they have a scheme for a small, historic-pastiche, venue which will, amazingly, allow the abbey to tour the states, or at least coastal parts of the states, while still performing in their own theatre.

    sure, that’s what i expected too, but looking at it, and i could be wrong, the ends look like they have right angles. it was closed this evening, but i was on a bus so i couldn’t see.

    can you work out how it closes, are the two halves shy of each other with a small lifting bit to be added in the middle?

    isn’t the point that a bookies isn’t a change of use from a bank.

    i was suprised to see it was flat packed, i assume that it turned up with only 48 of the required 51 T-15c screws and when they start trying to build someone will step on the monsterous sachet of woodglue and tread it into the carpet.

    the floor plan is the house: add a toilet, add an extension with lots of light by all means, but removing original internal walls is vandalism and doubly so if you add a velux on the front roof. the benefits of inner-cty living are also available in apartments.

    you know one of the things that’s stops me selling my house is the fear that someone like you will buy it and destroy the original floor plan.

    So here is an example: the posh plant shop on harcourt street by the green has closed: probably the evil luas killed it by making the property too valuable, so there is a planning application on it now, 6 story extension to the hotel next door. Its hard not to think that this building was once part of the terrance and the appearance of the street, but not the logic or integrity of the new building, would be best served by putting up a pastiche facade with whatever modern behind; that way it will match most of harcourt street on both counts.

    persumably they could take just hang around when the tide was wrong; the problem with a river bus is that it needs to be reliable and regular.

    sorry m3tolls can’t see any sensible arguement against tolling.

    you say that meath needs the m3 now, in fact, i think what meath doesn’t need is people commuting to dublin.

    what have you heard Rockflanders? my impression was there was going to be a reorganization but the overall goal would be retained.

    so the bad thing about the BoS building is that ugly fussing with the curved glass; they should have just stepped the building line like the other buildings on this side; the colour isn’t great either, but what is great is that completely unexpected long view down the side corridor with the illuminated panel at the end; i love it, i am just afraid that someone will ruin the effect with a potted plant.
