Our tickets for our impending holiday arrived today. We are going to the Isle of Mull. This is how hard it is to take two bicycles there.
Commemorative ticket. Spike & Mad John Xmas Party 20th Anniversary.
Remember the friends you had in college? Lost touch with them? Take a cue from pals Spike & Mad John and host a holiday party, every year, from year 1 in college. As the decades fall away, you realize how important and how much fun it is to stay in touch — even if it's just once a year.
This piece served double-duty as the ticket to get into the party & as a keepsake for the 20th Anniversary. *Designed by Lantz Barbour.
Ensaladilla de erizo de mar con yema de huevo de codorniz. Una ensaladilla de textura densa y abundante en clara de huevo cocido sustenta el erizo de mar impregnado con la yema (en crudo), rematado el conjunto con tiras de alga nori. No estuvo mal pero no le acabamos de ver la gracia a un bocado que nos pareció un tanto insípido e impersonal.
When it opened in 1906, Victoria Baths on Hathersage Road, Manchester, was described as "the most splendid municipal bathing institution in the country" and "a water palace of which every citizen of Manchester can be proud." Not only did the building provide spacious and extensive facilities for swimming, bathing and leisure, it was built of the highest quality materials with many period decorative features:- stained glass, terracotta, tiles and mosaic floors.
Victoria Baths served the people of central Manchester for 87 years and established themselves in the affections of all those who used the facilities.
The Baths were closed by Manchester City Council in 1993.[4] The Friends of Victoria Baths was formed and began to investigate the possibility of running the Victoria Baths independently.
Various fund-raising attempts failed to bring about a restoration of the Baths, although work to prevent the further dereliction of the building started in 1998.
In September 2003, the Baths won the first series of the BBC's Restoration programme. The building was chosen by a public phone-vote from a short-list of ten buildings in danger of dereliction in the UK. It was awarded £3.4 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the money raised through the phone-voting process. The Prince of Wales visited the baths a month later to help celebrate the win.
It was intended that the money would be spent on re-opening the Turkish bath by around 2006, with other parts following later at a cost of around £15 - 20m. However, the redevelopment plans were dealt a blow one year later when quantity surveyors delivered a much larger estimate of £6.3m to restore the Turkish baths. The Heritage Lottery Fund requested further details about the full redevelopment before they would hand over any money for the first phase. Final planning approval to begin a restoration process was not received until September 2005.
In September 2006, as part of a number of events to mark the centenary of the building's opening, the gala pool was filled for the first time in 13 years.
The first phase of restoration work consisting of structural work and repairs began on Monday 19 March 2007 and was completed in September 2008.
In 2011 the Baths were used as a filming location, a concert venue and an exhibition centre.
The interior has been seen in film and TV dramas such as Cracker, Prime Suspect, Bedlam, Life On Mars and Mrs Biggs.
On 7th November 2012, the Marketing team from The Co-operative Insurance spent their community challenge day at Victoria Baths, scrubbing, cleaning, mopping, vaccing and carrying to help the volunteers of the restoration of this fantastic building. This is the photo diary of that day.
we asked for a guy-on-a-parachute toy, and the arcade guy said we could have a robot or a ninja. I picked robot over ninja, and to show me how wrong he thought that decision was, he gave me a robot without any arms.
