Re: The UK’s First Log Built House?

Hi there, very interested to read up on this log build home. We were looking to do one in Suffolk, UK, but with the land prices it really was a budget too far for us. We are now in France where land value is around 1/10th the cost of UK and will be looking to do a log home. Would be happy to communicate with others with similar ideas on building a log home.... Chris, Burgundy, France.

Not the first Log Home nor the first built with UK materials only. Check out the website http://www.tsarina-imperial-dacha.com as they are Log Builders based in Scotland and design, manufacture and construct Log Cabins and Log Homes from solid round log.

I think the point here is not that it's the first log home, but the first one constructed entirely from UK materials, rather than stuff shipped from overseas.

Hi Adam, I'm sure there have been other log homes built in the uk. Its something that i am really interested in. There are companies in the us that ship them over.

Surely you can't be implying that women are more prejudiced than men? :-)

"Why is it cool for women to be redheads, and embarrassing for men?"

Maybe because men have these kind of ...."colorful" fantasies, while women are not that crazy about seeing a redhead man, or stuff like that :)

Wow, the building is just amazing! Cheers and keep up the good work!

Oh, hardly. It just happened to be the pic that was circulated with the press release.

I gave exactly zero thought to how she looked.

What was I meant to do? Hunt for the picture that made her look as late 30s as possible? And what exactly is it about this picture that doesn't make her look like a woman in her 30s?

WRT: "because they’re still in shock that the Doctor will have a 30-something companion, rather than the normal young tottie" Fair comment if made by anyone else. But since you head the article with a photo of her that has been air brushed and well and truly buggered with to make her look younger, and more attractive, you are suffering from a terminal case of "calling the kettle 'black' ".

Re: Last of the Time Lords: intial thoughts

MASTEROBSESSION (AND LUCY SAXO — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 15:18:30 -0000

I totally agree! John Simm and Alexandra Moen made a FAB combination! They both gave so much energy into their characters that they were the highlights of Series 3 of Doctor Who! I simply cannot wait until the christmas special. My father has a theory that the Lucy is really the master and shot Lucy in the masters body- but none of this really makes sense because the doctor would have recognised it because when timelords meet they instantly stake the other timelord(s).

I dont normally watch Dr Who but my kids are crazy for it. I did watch last nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. I may even watch the christmas one and the next series.

Yes we are! But the writer's the victim of his earlier success, I think, in setting standards he didn't meet. I try to resist this tendancy to carp (that comes from liking the show too much!), and so far this season that's been easy - apart from a wobble with the Daleks there have been no real clunkers and I've been able to ignore the moaning. This episode just seemed a bit of mess to me. Too much thrown in without enough thought.

What's the betting that the consequences of the-year-that-never-happened are quickly forgotten when Christmas comes around?

Mind you, as you said in an earlier post Lucy Saxon was superb; she had so little to do and did it so well. I wonder if that understated performance benefitted from the amount of cutting that had to go on? There's nothing worse that over-explaining things. The way she bizarrely (almost involuntarily) began to dance when the Master played Voodoo Child last week was one of the best moments of the episode.

I did like the Titanic in the Vortex though (there's a lot of yapping about how the TARDIS is impregnable adding to the complaints about LOTTL but personally I think that just makes it more of a fun concept!)
