Not unusual to me, but i've a garage now half-full of celebrity nappies. The prize pile of stardust ploppy pants comes in the form of 2 Elton Johns (stressful droppings prior to his bumhair transplant), a Nicholas Lyndhurst (long and thin, just like its poopertrator), a Liza Minelli (tagliatelliesque), and 3 Steve McFaddens (bulky but impotent and with no depth of character). In the post each fortnight i receive a new parcel from Russell Grant, often autographed, but i've started to dispose of those, usually aflame, as he seems to be obsessed with me - one of his thick and spicy sploshages was, he said, a loving pootrait of me and, horribly, it was quite accurate, capturing my general expression of unwanted disdain when all i really yearn for is a friend i can trust.

Do you know a chap called “Pugs” by any chance?

Is that so? I’ve got an N64 CIB, 4 controllers, rumble packs, and about a dozen games.

Aside from following Brighton I do motorbike track days and I also do a bit of spear fishing, though in haven’t been out for quite a long time.

Indeed I do, works very hard for the club and a seriously quick racer. Different class of mower to me and he races all season whilst I just pussy around at the annual summer 12 hour race. How do you know him out of interest?

Oooh! I've done a few boxing day enduro's. Bit like lawn mower racing though, at 61 I'm really just making up the numbers.Still love it though.

Thought you would. I’ve worked with Pugs for the last 7 years in Crawley, all round good guy. His mower racing has taken a back seat this year whilst he trains for some sort of Iron Man in Portugal, he’s seriously fit for a fat bloke

I love Brutalist and Modernist architecture, and taking pictures of it wherever I find it - no camera, just my phone. An awful lot of people hate it, but I'm vaguely obsessed with it, and there are some decent examples in Brighton.
I've had pictures used in The Guardian, the BBC and various other places, a feature on an architecture website, and help run a Facebook group with 85,000 members. I've also got an Instagram account where I post my snaps: https://www.instagram.com/murray_tiptop/?hl=en
Let me know if you've got any goodies in your area - always on the lookout for more.

Bad news, Paternal line is unreliable, cuckoos in the nest.
I see you have the thr’penny bit building in East Croydon.
Have you got “The Barrier” on Coldharbour Lane, Brixton? So called because it was built as a barrier (it’s a block of flats with the tiniest windows you’ll ever see on the “road” side) alongside what was going to be one of the three main ring roads originally planned around London in the 40’s (50’s? 60s?) that (obviously) never got built. Other starts were made for the roads too - there’s a building just off Trafalgar Square that’s offset to the existing road, but wouldn’t have been to the intended new road, and the bottom of the M11 is very weird - but it allowed room for an intersection with the new road. There’s loads of similar examples.

Best wishes to you from sunny Kent, and that isn't a typogtucal erhar. No indeed.
You haven't got the spiritualist church up Edward Street on your Instagram. And what about Brighton Law Courts, Hove Law Courts, St. Dunstan's and Hove Town Hall?

I think in todays climate turning anything into a knife is irresponsible and should be banned. We should be reducing the numbers of knives in this world, not increasing them.
