So today, new office for a new client I started with last week. Meet one half of the team today that will.be supporting me and one chap mentions "you look like someone who enjoys a 'spoons" ... It came from nowhere, I was mid sentence about work!....

Are you sure it was "Spoons" plural? Maybe he just wanted a cuddle

Hmmmm, it's a long shot but screw it I'll take it ... Lol

Young child suffers serious burns in bonfire night accident https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-5...

Hope the child make a speedy recovery but who in there right mind makes a bonfire in their garden big enough for something to fall off and hit a child.

And even worse is a shopping trolley WTF.

[CoolHands]

Ah we always put shopping trolleys on the bonfire. They burn so well, ya see, being made of metal an all.

I wonder if the neighbourhood attacked the emergency services when they turned up.

Also worth noting that the number of stray trollies in an area directly relates to the level of council, counting from roughly 25m past the furthest trolley return area from the nearest supermarket.

Speke, say no more.

Probably missing a 'speak' pun there somewhere but it's too early to come up with anything decent.

I've just been to a water park.

On the Gold Coast.

In Australia.

Triple Council Jackpot - sights witnessed today would be overwhelming for many souls on this thread. Except probably Dog Star.

Good fun though.

Despite being Speke, on Streetview the road looks a lot less council than others recently posted on this thread.

I was supposed to go to Southampton General Hospital to collect some sort of modem device for my Dad's pacemaker, but having succeeded in getting through Lordswill (discussed recently), I was within 200 yards of the hospital car park before I joined the queue, so I gave up and went home.

I wasn't able to turn round and retrace my route through the urban war zone of Lordswill, so I ended up making my way through Coxford. Which, as it turns out, is an even bigger sthole.

Can we add "Painting your garage door in the colours of your favourite football team" to the list of things that are extremely "council"?

Are we looking at the same Hale Drive?

Scorched area on the grass from a previous fire, old Mazda with a space saver on the front, solar panels on roofs, man on a mobility 'trike', graffiti, dog grooming salon, wheelie bins everywhere, not quite a full house, but the signs are there.

Hope the kid is ok.

That’s all where I grew up, it’s an interesting area

Top tip, park at Sainsbury’s lordshill and do the 15min walk. Although it looks dodgy it’s an alright area

Just saves all the pissing about and paying to park etc

I'll go back this afternoon at around 3.30 - visiting starts at 3pm, most visitors get in and out early, so there might be a few spaces in the car park. I can't believe that parking is still so bad after they got the staff to park at B&Q and started a shuttle bus service. If I end up in hospital at any time in the future I hope that I'm not sent to Southampton General. It's a bloody awful place, even if you can get a parking space. I think I'll ask to be taken to Lymington.

Congratulations on your escape!

Now I love a Toby carvery as much as the next councilista but specific clothing from Toby ... Too far!!

Compared with the road in Southampton featured a couple of pages back. it's almost Shangri-La!
(Dog grooming salon excepted!)

That depends on the colours. Your local team, red and white stripes, would look tres council on a garage door.

In a bit of Southampton, they have painted an entire great big block of council flats in the colour of the team ( I’m not kidding either ). Mind you, we are talking Southampton here. On the main northern approach road, they’ve built a great big student accommodation block, which looks exactly like a cigarette butt, and at the mainline station, you are greeted by a ‘sculpture’ which is a great big rusty ring ( again I kid you not ). The place is hilariously council.
