There were plenty of restaurants in the Battersea Power Station shopping centre, but many had long queues of people waiting for a table.
i must always be in control.
The primary symptoms of Obssesive Compulsive Personality Disorder are a preoccupation with details, rules, lists, order, organization, and schedules; being very rigid and inflexible in their beliefs; showing perfectionism that interferes with completing a task; excessive focus on being productive with their time; being very conscientious; having inflexible morality, ethics, or values; hoarding items that may no longer have value; and a reluctance to trust a work assignment or task to someone else for fear that their standards will not be met.
Some people with OCPD, but not all of them, show an obsessive need for cleanliness. Those that do not show this tendency are sometimes good at setting up systems to maintain cleanliness, but may not follow through with the need to clean because of other "more important" priorities. For example, the need to get a good grade or finish a project at work might cause the OCPD person to have a quite messy and unorganized home. But if that same person was suddenly unemployed or finished with other activities, they could very well start becoming obsessed with cleanliness as other activities take up less time.
Completion of a task or problem by an OCPD individual can be affected when excessive time is used in getting such to be considered right. Personal and social relationships are often under serious strain because the OCPD individual insists on being in charge and the only one who knows what is right. Uncleanliness is seen by some OCPD individuals as a form of lack of perfection, as is untidiness. They may routinely spend considerable time using a precise manner, as for instance putting everything in precisely the right place in precisely the right manner.
Not the store's actual name, but it wouldn't be a bad one if this were their only line of business. Porto, Portugal
Air traffic control tower at the Melbourne airport. To get this photo required a little luck as I shot it from the passenger side of a moving car on the calder highway with a telelphoto lens zoomed as far as it could through the car window. It required some straightening and cropping but I love the layers of hills.

Darkday found this old stained control box, that contained just two switches. One for on & one for off, with a green light for Go..!
The switches looked like they have seen quite a bit of use, probably turning stuff on & off all day long inside the abandoned Unfeasible Foundry
One of many scenes within the control tower at The Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby . This tableau depicts life in the control room of the tower back in the day .
A short history of RAF East Kirkby taken from wikipedia --
Royal Air Force East Kirkby or more simply RAF East Kirkby is a former Royal Air Force station near the village of East Kirkby, south of Horncastle in Lincolnshire, just off the A155. The Greenwich meridian passes through the airfield.
RAF Station East Kirkby opened on 20 August 1943 as a Bomber Command Station and is situated not far from RAF Coningsby.
Stationed at East Kirkby were:
No. 57 Squadron RAF (5 Group) 27 August 1943 – 25 November 1945.
No. 630 Squadron RAF (5 Group) 15 November 1943 – 18 July 1945.
RAF East Kirkby served also as the headquarters of No 5/5 (Bomber) Group RAF in command of satellite stations at RAF Strubby, RAF Spilsby, RAF Hemswell and RAF Manby.
Operations
On 17 April 1945, near the end of the Second World War, a 57 Squadron Lancaster was being loaded with bombs when a fully armed 1,000 lb bomb was unintentionally dropped onto the tarmac. Because the bomb had had its fuse inserted it detonated, setting off the rest of the Lancaster's bombload. A massive explosion killed three airmen, injured 16 others, wrote off six other Lancasters beyond repair and badly damaged a nearby aircraft hangar.
The final wartime raid from East Kirkby was flown on 25 April 1945. In total, 212 operations were carried out during the war, from which 121 Lancasters did not return. Another 29 aircraft were lost due to operational crashes or accidents.
Post war
No 630 Squadron disbanded in July that year and its place was taken by No. 460 Squadron RAAF from RAF Binbrook. This squadron joined No. 57 for transfer to the Far East as part of Tiger Force. In the 1950s, the airfield was used by the United States Air Force for Air Rescue squadrons for four years. The station (code name Silksheen) closed in 1958. It was sold by the government in 1964.
Aircraft museum
The airfield became the site of broiler sheds, and is now home to an air museum, Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, which bought Just Jane, the gate guardian Lancaster bomber from RAF Scampton, which is regularly taxied out and stood with the four Rolls Royce Merlin XXIV engines running. Just Jane is being restored to flight by the museum.
NX611 was built by Austin Aero Ltd at their Cofton Hackett Works just south of Birmingham, rolling out of the Flight Shed on 16 April 1945, when it was put into storage, and in 1952, it was one of 54 Lancasters sold to the French Naval Air Arm, (L’Aeronavale) for £50,000 each as part of a 1951 NATO arrangement. It was designated WU-15 (Western Union). In June 1961,it joined Escadrille 9S (Surveillance), in Nouméa, New Caledonia.
On 15 April 1964, it accompanied Lancaster NX665 (WU-13), on delivery to the RNZAF, from New Caledonia to Auckland, New Zealand, returning to New Caledonia, with the crew of NX665. In 1965, its service with the L’Aeronavale over, due to spares shortages and maintenance problems, it was flown to England and on 13 May 1965 landed at Biggin Hill Airport, Kent, as part of the 'Historic Aircraft Preservation Society' Collection (HAPS). It had flown 2,330 hours. It had been registered as G - ASXX for its flight back to the UK and later stood as the gate guardian at RAF Scampton before being acquired by the museum owners Fred & Harold Panton
The control tower is believed to be haunted. The airfield was featured in a 1980s BBC series about World War II airfields. Much of the runway is still intact today but mainly used by local farmers as hard standing and by model aircraft enthusiasts. Occasional civilian light aircraft have landed on the remaining runway in recent years and the airfield still appears on Civil Aviation Maps as a diversion emergency landing location.
A memorial to the fallen can be found outside the main gate where the guard house once stood.
RAF East Kirkby was investigated by the Most Haunted team in 2003 for their third series on Living TV now called Sky Living. Yvette Fielding and her team investigated the museum and site for alleged paranormal activity. The episode was transmitted on Tuesday 7 October 2003 on Living TV. It was the first episode of the third series of the paranormal investigation show Most Haunted.
In 2008 the museum opened an unlicensed part-grass and part-concrete landing strip for visiting military and civil aircraft. No aircraft should land without contacting the owners first via the museum's website or telephone number. Air traffic control on flying display days is from RAF Coningsby and there is a six-mile "no fly" exclusion zone around East Kirkby on display days.
I was very interested in seeing the reference to RAF Manby , a base I spent some time at on a full runway and taxiway survey back in the very early 70s and in the winter months and it was very very cold and wet .
We stayed on site - 16 of us in one room - the transit dormitory . Saw a number of live bands in the NAAFI including Slade .
The lasting memory of Manby though is of me running along the centre of the taxiway to retrieve a survey target from the centre line with a Jet Provost following close behind me waiting for me to clear the obstruction - felt quite hairy at the time but I guess the pilot knew what he was doing - I hope !!!

Inverkip Powerstation Control Room
The best control room out there? im sorry Battersea fans im leaning this way!
The oil fired station closed in the late 1980s having only been built a few years earlier. It only ran at full capacity for a few weeks during the 1986 mining strikes, otherwise it was a total white elephant! The 1970s oil crisis hit a matter of months after completion and rendered this brand new powerstation virtualy useless. Ever since closure it has been maintained as part of the strategic reserve but now demolition is relativly imminant parts are starting to be removed and systems disconnected.
The room feels new and un-used, Its one of the best time machines ive ever had the pleasure of riding, never going to foget this one!

Shot on election evening November 4th 2008 - ABC News did their coverage from Times Square, New York City (NYC). This is a shot of the ABC News studios used for the election coverage and one of the cameras. Has an Orwellian "1984" feel to it but not enough to title it as such.

In Barbados, the Zika Taskforce led by the University of the West Indies (UWI) is working closely with the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA), PAHO and government ministries to pool resources for research, as well as organizing and disseminating information about the virus. The taskforce has also developed and implemented a comprehensive communications strategy to ensure that information about the virus and its effects are shared broadly with the Caribbean public via radio, television, newspapers, the web and social media platforms. There has also been a strong emphasis on community engagement and participation in the efforts to spread information about Zika and how each person can collaborate in the efforts to control and eliminate the Aedes aegypti mosquito at a local level.
If you want to print this out, pick the largest version flickr will let you get (they change it all the time it seems!), make sure the size comes up as 11cm square in whatever software you use to print it, then once it's done, check that the bit marked 1 inch actually is 1 inch.
The smaller WPI lines won't be completely accurate as the software I used to create them only allowed me to work to 3 decimal places, but they will be fine to use as a guide.
