Landmark Klaxon!

[Wombat del combate]

It's either that or someone's fired up Max without the faintest clue about how to use it. I mean, what the fuck's going on with the pink areas in the bird's eye view? Did someone forget to put a texture on there or are they actually going to be the colour of a cherub's codpiece? Plus, the compositions are all shit, being too close in or cropping contextual parts out. And don't get me started on the black elements in the background...

I've seen some seriously shite efforts from a few 'architects' but that effort may well top the pile.

There was now way E&S were going to let the opportunity of Rackhams (or Netto in new money) being demolished pass by without a landmark reference

Machin has one, but it's been very well used.

Not a Landmark Klaxon, but some more attrocious stuff from the E&S - https://www.expressandstar.com/news...n-council-bin-spin-is-nothing-but-pure-cheek/

So, we're moving to two-week bin collections. No big deal really. A lot of councils have already done it, and reducing landfill is surely a good thing, right? Plus, you can apply for a bigger bin if you're worried about filling the slim bins we got when they started the recycling program. What's annoying is that they are stopping the food waste (which will now go in general waste and fester for a fortnight encouraging rats etc), and we have to pay £35 if we want the garden waste collected. This is on top of raising council tax.

Anyway, we're not allowed to blame the current Tory Government for slashing council budgets - it's Labour's fault for causing the global financial crash by spending money in the 2000s!!

FFS - not a facepalm big enough!

Our bins are in a two week cycle, standard household waste one week and then recycling with garden the next, works fine for us.

We can put food waste in with either standard household waste or recycling though, as apparently it all just goes to compost, so bit easier to manage if things are filling up, not that it ever really happens with only two of us in our house.
