shredding, Pleasurama, Vue....

I've done about 1% of the annual remove staples and paper clips and then 'shred' what might be sensitive information.

This is what we're told, though however would want my identity has got to be barking mad!

It's a soul destroying job and how much paper rubbish we accumulate over the course of a twelve month period. The trouble is once you get started it becomes an obsession: paper files, receipts, statements, print outs ha, ha, yippee! If the door bell goes, the visitor could end up in the machine after having removed all solid/metal objects, of course...

In the days before 'warming' I used to pile all in the dust bin and set fire to it, throw sausages, burgers and tatas on and that made a tastly lunch snack, honest...

On a serious note, the Pleasurama burrowing exercise could be costed, measured and planned by some people who're involved at Westwood Cross! We built a tunnel from the main road into the port, diverting all those nasty HGV's away from our picturesque town, so why not. Cost is not a problem if the end product will produce a return for the investors and something that pleases all the townsfolk, like our new shopping centre as an example. No matter what the snarl ups traffic wise, it'll all be sorted and in the meantime look at the well patronised facility that's growing there. Love the cinema with all those screens... I parked with no problems and had a meal to boot, lets have more...

comments...and thoughts of Pleasurama...

I'm really quite excited! I'm getting some comments on the blog entries...
I've managed to keep out of any arguments about anything that might upset readers. Mid-morning I went for my usual constitutional and could probably fill a book about things I don't like and could take to our illustrious Island rulers. Mostly as I've said before things here are pretty OK. If you try making a debit and credit list round the area; we do well. Yes, I know we pay dearly for the facilities but who doesn't in our County in this post Millenium period?

While on my wanders round the Pleasurama site, I thought, by developers standards the site while being prime in its location, is small.
As I understand it, whatever is there must not only pay for development costs, running costs and a reasonable profit for the investment; it has to look good now and in the foreseable future. Instead of strengthening the existing crumbling cliff face, lets burrow through it. Right up to the Crescent building foundations under the existing gardens and bandstand area. In this day and age, air conditioning would enable this underground development to be used in conjunction with the existing visible sea front site. The area of development is increased, maybe enough to make it worth while and keep all parties happy. Is it possible? Any comments?
