Looks like a nice renovation job , but it's a bloody shame that the general public will now be barred from the building.   I used to enjoy taking a walk through the arcade at lunchtime.

A man is embarking on a 1,800-mile tour on a 50cc moped of places with rude and funny names.
Paul Taylor, from Wantage, Oxfordshire, is making the charity fundraising trip in memory of a friend who died of cancer.
His journey will begin in Shitterton, Dorset, on Wednesday and will take in locations such as Twatt in Orkney and Booze in the Yorkshire Dales.
Mr Taylor's Slovenian Tomos XL45 Classic has a top speed of 28mph.

Pizza Express inShrewsbury was struggling this evening. Lots of little errors over the course of our meal, to the extent I had to speak to the manager when presented with the bill. We had more mistakes with this evenings meal that I have suffered in total on my visits to Pizza Express in the last 35 years.

No staff, because Berxit.

Besides, to be honest, who wants to work in a Pizza Express, with all those sweaty customer Andrews, when you can have a high flying degree career?

Don't knock Pizza Express, it's probably where my daughter's beau is going to end up in September after defending his thesis on James Joyce with the congrats of the jury and a hell of a lot of my money.

I’m not sure they retain the ability to smile after being a Joyce scholar for any length of time.

Security guards ran to the incident and there was about 30 to 40 people fighting.

Security couldn’t contain the incident.
The suspects had knives. Everyone was told to evacuate or stay inside the centre area.

What’s worse than finding a slug in the biscuit you’ve just bitten into?

Finding half a slug…

How does a live? slug get into a 'twice cooked' biscuit?  Do I detect a case of 'I want com-pen-say-shun'?

It is believed some of the insects were storm flies, while some were an unknown, green coloured larvae.

Five Mr Bumps have been spotted so far: three along the Trym between Shirehampton Road and Sea Mills harbour, one on the Portway, and one on the banks of the Avon.

They have become quite a talking point, with blogger Luke Merrett even devising a 6.7 km running route which takes in all five.
I'm sure these have every bit as much meaning as, say, crop circles, but a Mr Bump running route seems like asking for trouble!
