I know that the Flannery lamps are named after Sarah Flannery, but after whom are the Pitmit lamps named after?

P.S. The new Flannery lamps are going in on the Grand Parade, outside the market.
Really? Are they going all the way down the street? Last time I was in the city I noticed the crappy plain lamposts down the length of the street. I looked for patches of tarmac where they could be put but saw none.

Hmm, this seems like one where lobbing off a few floors would actually be a good idea.
Definitely on the Patricks St. elevation. I think that the Grand Parade can take the height though

Half Moon St? Is that the development on the quayside (next to the Lavitt’s Quay building), or is there another development shoehorned between the quay and Paul St. on the western side of the street?
Incidentally, are there any images of the development above from Oliver Plunkett St? It is going to be where the Brog/Qube bar venue is now, IINM?
Yes.
I doubt that the development is fronting Oliver plunkett street. It would have to cut through the English Market somehow.

was there any more updates on what ACTUALLY happened in the cpuncil chambers when they decided on granting the event centre? Maybe a Freedom of Information act query might help if the council minutes dont when they are published
Apparently the freedom of information act is a load of bullshit. You have to pay to submit an application, and then your case is reviewed. They have the right to turn down your application. It’s like the Henry Ford quotation- ‘Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black’
Likewise:
‘ Any citizen can have all the information they want, so long as we decide that it’s OK for you to get it’who_me wrote:It looks alright there, though I wouldn’t be too keen on the peach(?)* colour.(* I’m a guy. I don’t do colours).]
Wife: How about this one?
Husband: I wouldn’t be too keen on the peach
Wife: We’re going with the peach.
Husband: Um..

If you noticed even further, you would see that the seats marked 2, are temporary and could thus be removed. Presumably the structure underneath could be removed also, to leave a standing only section.
Yes I saw that. Thats why I said ‘what are we standing on?’, which you would have noticed if if you had noticed further.
I notice in theblimps earlier post that their concert hall had sloping seats from the stage upwards. What exactly are we standing on? Some kind of terraced thing? Surely thats dangerous at a rock concert. What the Howard Holdings proposal has is a layout very like the Marquee, with seating only at the further reaches and a large floor for standing on.
Are you actually going into every thread and reading them?
I looked up MVRDV on the internet a few days ago. I had to walk downstairs to a book so I could find out what the letters in the name were. I went back upstairs only to realise that I had forgotten what their name was. This happened once more.
True story.

I not sure when the Werdna water st development is due to start. This is what was finally permitted, peaking at 10 stories at the eastern end.
I read in the Echo that this might not go ahead. Theres a report of sorts being drawn up at the moment to see if it is viable to build it now. A hell of a lot of money was spent in constantly revising the plans, dragging it through constast appeals.

Did you get paid for saying that?
BTW Those are girls bikes in Brussels:( Wouldn’t be seen dead etc.
Far more interesting than any stubby tunnel, I’d wager.
Bizarrely that was the case. What I mentioned was a small fraction of what we rooted up – there was school records going back to the 1900s, loads of old classics books, an ancient, broken typewriter, a funny hat, pigeon shit, the philosopher’s stone, CIA records proving that the CIA killed J.F.Kennedy, Queen Victoria’s head in a jar, a partially buried chest brimming with jewels and gold, guarded by a cobweb-matted pirate skeleton.
That school had a fascinating history.:)
