I saw Monopoly in the news; they're talking about adding new, more modern pieces, and this picture started developing in my mind.
Day 274
The Monopoly Bureau Building is a Renaissance-style red brick building located in Taipei, Taiwan. The building was built in 1913 during the Japanese rule of Taiwan.
The building was designed by the architect Matsunosuke Moriyama. The six-story tower topped with a spire is the most unusual feature of the building decorated with a copper roof(sand green).
The building housed the offices of the Monopoly Bureau of the Taiwan Governor's Office during Japanese rule and now houses the headquarters office for the Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation.
Whilst clearing out my loft I found the travel magnetic version of monopoly.
Couldnt resist using the mini monopoly money to make this origami brooch.I used the £1 and £5 notes and plan to make more jewellery with the rest.The chance cards came in handy too for the back
Day two hundred fifty-four/365. I'm not into board games. But, when I was a kid, I used to play Monopoly with my cousins when we were all on vacation.
Back then, I couldn't appreciate the message conveyed by the layout of a Monopoly board. Now, it jumps right out!
The neighborhoods are divided by affluence. You can put up a house in the slums, or on some pretty exclusive property. As you hop around the board, you may have to pay income tax -- only if you're in one of the poorest neighborhoods. Folks in the more privileged section pay no income tax. There is a luxury tax among the wealthy, but it's nominal compared to the income tax paid by the poor.
On one corner is a police officer. If he catches you, you go to jail -- back in a poor neighborhood! The cop is there to protect a wealthy neighborhood against dogs, shoes, cannons, or other pieces moving through.
Was Monopoly invented by a very cynical person? Or, was it designed to convey a subtle message about economic justice?
Class 66 'Sheds' have the monopoly amongst GBRf's fleet and also arguably the UK's diesel locomotive roster. GBRf at least paint their locos in interesting colour schemes, as illustrated here. On 28/12/18, GBRf had Maritime liveried 66727, standard 66784 and 66745, 66787 and Biffa-liveried 66783 on Doncaster Decoy.

Was da wohl mal reinkommt? Ein Supermarkt. Aber welcher? Edeka haben wir hier schon ganz viele. Lidl und Aldi sind auch gleich um die Ecke. Bleibt noch Rewe und Netto. Was anderes gibts ja gar nicht mehr. Die Lebensmittel werden immer schlechter dank der Monopolisten. „Verbesserte Rezeptur“ ja ja da nützt auch so ein tolles Gebäude nix. #münchen #munich #neuperlach #alexisquartier #neubau #supermarkt #edeka #rewe #aldisüd #lidl #nettomarkendiscount #gibtsnochwas #mafia #monopoly #verbesserterezeptur

Well it was supposed to be a nice time playing monopoly but as you can se there isn't many of me that are interested in in the game. How can a cat take so much attention when I'm about to win?
Some are making their own deals on the side, gossips are being shared and another one knows she's gonna lose.
I'm not proud of it but it's me who's the one shouting out my glory over being the one with the money and houses, I'm SO GOOD at this, well when I'm playing against myself anyway... their moves are so predictable :P
And of course my dress, I had to have it on, se if it still fitted.
It did.
I'm happy about it :D

"Featuring some of Brixton's more notable addresses - such as Billa's 24hour booze, Happy Shopper and The Sultan - this is an exciting game that will bring long, tedious hours of 'fun' for all the family. Brought to you by id-iom and Parker Brothers"
For throwback Thursday we're going for our 1m x 1m Brixton Monopoly commission from a few years back. I was pretty pleased with the final result - especially considering how long it managed to take. After a load of emails back and forth we came up with a finished design which incorporated elements from various international editions of Monopoly, some invented elements and a load of place names from around Brixton which had significance to the client. As they live near to us all the locations (including Billa's 24hr booze and Pizza Man) are somewhat familiar to me too...
Despite the fact they are known to me many spaces on the board are undoubtedly unfamiliar to just about everyone else. If, however, you do happen to be know all the place names and are particularly eagle-eyed you may even notice that we even arranged the squares so that they are grouped together logically (i.e by location and/or function) and the board follows a circuit from locations at the bottom of Brixton up to the top of Brixton Hill.
Cheers

Day out to London with Darren Wilkin.
When I met up with Darren, I suggested we go in search of the properties on the Monopoly board, as a bit of a project for the day. I had scribbled down the list the night before, but hadn't looked at a map, or done any research ... big mistake! I'm sure we walked more than we needed - about 14 miles. But I did get something for every property, although there wasn't time to do the stations. I shall have to do this again, but with more planning beforehand.
