    I think the main problem with that particular piece of town planning is that the idiots painted lines on it already! The overall town centre plans do have another building next to it, I don't remember looking closely enough at the models when they were on display to say if they showed carparking on the roof and access from another building though.

    At work? The second is in a few weeks.

    Mostly today I stayed in bed with a book as it was my day off.

    Have you finished it?

    Cheap laugh of the week:

    Taking a look at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Everdoss-Multifunctional-Crossbody-Backpack-Messenger/dp/B016I9ABI2 and most especially the motto on the top of the bag (the Khaki is clearest), does it really say "Taste emotion on one's willy" - or am I reading it wrong?

    I seem to be ending up in the strange end of Amazon more and more... :eek:

    Yup its finished, briefly reviewed on goodreads and as it's an autographed book has its spott on my bookcase.

    Erm yup theres a distinct possibility that you've read it right. I won't asked how you find these things nor why!

    Just finished a survey that I think should tip me over the redemption threshold but the survey company seem to have killed their own website - logging in redirects to a 404 error page.
    Another survey site I hit redemption on yesterday has no rewards in stock which is really rather annoying as it means I have to keep checking back to see if they've restocked yet.

    Have you thought of doing Amazon reviews as well?

    I was just looking for innocuous things. :A

    Although Amazon is getting worse, it's still not as bad as Youtube was at its worst. Searching for field equations eventually ended up in the part where people like to dress up as furry animals...

    Do they keep a stock of Amazon vouchers or something?

    I tend to think I'll copy my reviews over at some point then never get around to it, same with book reviews on ciao, I'll happily review plenty of other stuff but for some reason never bother with the books.

    That site usually does, hit redeem and the email lands in the time it takes to click back in to my inbox. Hopefully they'll restock soon, its only a £5 amazon voucher and I don't need to buy anything at the moment but the sooner its in my account the better so I don't forget to redeem the points.

    Also true, but they're one of the ones I tend to feel more secure about, so will just keep checking.
