Thank you for the great update HT!

So a 5 day floor cycle, great speed! Possible now to make September 2009 for completion (not handover) at that rate unless they switch workers to BC as you say.

couldn't have worse luck next time that's for sure. still that's football, the better team doesn't always win

i suppose if you're a skankunian you need it more than we do. c'est la vie

Well we've won it 3 times now - CHELSKI ? HOW MANY ?
Would agree you were the better team second half but as you say that's football !
(I know the scousers have won it 5 before someone tells me)

So perhaps we don't need it as much as you guys .

One consolation you might win it before the TORCH is finished (twice even before then !)- although eqaully we may catch LIVERPOOL by then

I,m over in DUBAI in two weeks so i'll post some new pics -hope the glass will on by then lower down.

I'm sad to see Silverjet went under. In the next few weeks I'll need to fly London to Dubai to take delivery of two JLT apartments and planned flying with them. Not only were the prices keen for business/first class (I guess they were somewhere between the two - first class, early-1990s vintage) but the flight timing were such that you didn't 'lose a day'.

The turn around in this project is remarkable. Performance upto February was utter rubbish, but now they are motoring.

People living within the Jewels and agents are having some horrific times, I witnessed some myself with a a guy we met renting there, True Blue would have been shocked.

Still we are not doing much better here, DS/SG are a bunch of W****ers the lying scumbags. There is nothing British about anything they do or say, watch this space, I will take them on if it is the last thing I do. Anybody who touches any more of their products deserves what's coming to them. Sooooon
