QUOTE (Simon Kirby @ May 21 2013, 09:13 PM) Do we know that e-mail address is monitored? Anyroad, I thought we could be more creative... One and all, Admin has seen the post! Like every forum, we are under constant attack from spammers trying to join the site which clogs our validation queue. We will sort this/or have something new in place in the next couple of days. And yes, the rules and regs should be re-worded. In the mean time, stick with us please and keep on 'debating!' |

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Dec 14 2011, 09:35 AM) My evidence comes from the fact that if one performs an Internet search for Turner and Donnington, this picture is almost non-existent. If Turner had painted this, you would get many. This painting might be Turner, but I fear not by Britain's favourite artist. It is Drewwitts that are making the claim: Lot 82: Donnington Castle, Newbury, Berkshire by JMW Turner RAMorning all. We have checked (again) the authenticity of the painting with Dreweatts who have confirmed it is an original watercolour by JMW Turner. |

QUOTE (Squelchy @ Oct 31 2011, 11:49 AM) Well admin? You've had most of Thursday, all of Friday, (all day Sat and Sun for a few 'off the record' phone calls), it's now Monday lunchtime (almost) Got anything for us?
As mentioned earlier in the thread, how long does it take to answer the question " is it likely that monies taken from Car Parks not maintained, owned, operated or run by SLI could, under certain conditions, make it's way back to SLI's coffers? and that this was agreed by WBC"? We don't need to know the amounts, that's for later. It's a yes / no answer at this stage.
Or can we go back to discussing this now, since we wouldn't want Newburytoday to be seen as an arm of the Council would we? Sorry, we have been waiting for some figures which are as yet not forthcoming from WBC, but the deal between SLI and WBC which states that proceeds over a certain amount (based on parking income from ticket sales from town centre car parks not including Kennet Centre in 2007/8) is in place and has been confirmed to us by WBC. We will keep you updated as soon as we get the monetary value of the agreement which we have asked for several times. |

NEWBURY is dull. In fact, it is “very, very dull.” Who says so? National newspaper food critic and author Jay Rayner says so, in an online blog for The Guardian. In an unusual analogy, Mr Rayner insists: “Emmental is, at first sight, the Newbury of cheeses: it's solid, workmanlike, but very, very dull. Everybody knows it's there but few think they have any reason to visit..... just as the boring town in Berkshire is a place of light industry and mid-range technology firms - the sort of place where really hard unglamorous work gets done - so emmental is the workhorse of the cheese world.” As if already hearing the knives being sharpened for him, Mr Rayner ameliorates his comments by adding: “It is upon emmental's broad, solid and unassuming shoulders that the sexy supermodels of the cheese world – the gruyères, Comtés and Beaufort – stand.” Newburytoday.co.uk contacted Mr Rayner via his Twitter account for a chat. He replied: “Would you mind awfully if I don't?” Actually, we do. A little. But what do you think? Does he have a point? And if Mr Rayner was to be compared to a cheese, which one would he be? We have one in mind. But what do you think? |
