God never closes a door without opening a window

I think it was Will Shakespeare who said "Does believing you're the last sane man on the planet make you crazy?"

this building has been here for quite some time now and the shop on the ground floor with a large window on a busy road has never been occupied and i recently came up with a theory as to why it is still empty. here is my theory.

it has not got a door

now i know it sounds crazy but i have walked past it allot and there is no door on this side of the building and the other side of the building is behind gates (to keep us safe from the residents or to keep the residents safe from us). 

now i would think that someone would have picked up on this problem in the plan or construction of this building or at least try to fix it in the intervening years   

some thing from the weekend 11:run

I think it was Shakespeare who said"the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry"

this week my plan went awry. i (a man) was was going to post this photo

(not of a mouse) on friday as a flow up on my gutter garden post but didn't have any thing muck to say say abbot it apart it be another example life setting up home where no one asked it to and on top of that i couldn't think of a Shakespeare misquote to go with it

gutter garden

I think it was Shakespeare who said “were all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars”
It always makes me smile to see life setting up home where no one asked it to.
Heres a of photo exactly what I mean

This gutter garden is growing on some flats opposite the White Water Centre and will soon be removed as the flats are having a bit of a spit and polish to make them look nice for the tourists of 2012
But I have to wonder why they haven't made them look nicer for the residents sooner.

Buy me a pub before it’s too late

I believe Shakespeare once said “ rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated” well it was rumor of a pubs death that triggered this post
My dad told me that the old lady across the road told him that her son told her that the gun and magpie was in the middle of being pulled down. . so I headed off with my camera to get a photo of another pub fading in to history. only to find it standing proud

It is however for sale and i fear that the fate of this pup and many other pubs for sale my come down to who knows who on the planning committee

so if anyone out there wants to save one of these buildings before they get knocked down and turned in to luxury apartments so small you cant get am erection in them without opening a window first. Fill free to buy me the gun and magpie or any pub for that matter

I cant say I’ll be able to run a pub but I could put the original building to good use the bar would make a grate gallery and the cellar a studio and most importantly I’ll have room to build my coffin

Me size box

we are heading towards Halloween so now seems like a good time to talk about coffins. i was watching the bucket list on TV and the one thing, in fact only thing I could think of at the time to put on my bucket list is to make my own coffin. I want to do this for two reasons one I think it would be good if at my funeral (fingers crossed it's far in the future) instead of an anonymous box being buried or burned my friends and family see something that reminds them of me, something that they have seen in my home, something they may of fallen over when drunk with stains on it where they uses to put there tea down
and two it's good motivation to say in shape I don’t want to get hit by a car and not fit in my box

there is a down side right now however which is I don't have room for a me size box so a guess "get my own place big enough to make and keep a coffin" in needs to go on the list to
