Over the weekend John was celebrating his birthday. We went bowling. On the way to the bowling place I had a gander through the old house on Claude Street. They've renovating! They're clearly making the front room into a bedroom, but maintaining the use of the front door - this means they're putting a partition wall to make a corridor on the side of the living room. I'm not sure what else they are doing, but I was shocked to read on the sign outside that it is now a 5 bedroomed property! It being 3 when I was there, if you can't remember/never knew.
Bowling was, erm, well, erm, I couldn't be arsed. For me it was a case of get the game over with as quickly as possible - probably getting my lowest score ever - not actually sure what I got 'cause I couldn't even be arsed to find out when the game was over.
In the evening we went out for a Greek meal at Eviva Taverna. The meal was very good and I'd definatly go back again!
We went to a pub and then on to Oceana (after a brief detour trek across town to Ocean - 'cause nobody would believe me when I said it wasn't open on Saturdays!)
Sunday... woo... working in the pub... woo.
Having been promised that the horrible pregnant girl who fancies me would be in to visit me I wasn't exactly looking forward to the evening. But, woo, she was in Leeds, so her friend came in alone to chat me up. God, she's corny.
She was moving her leg rapidly about... I made the error of asking "Why they hell are you doing that?"... "Oh, I do that when I'm horny... whoops, did that come out loud...". Ah well, it's a pity I don't find her face attractive - as she'd be good looking if you chopped off her head, but I'm not into necrophilia. After spending about 30 mins pretending that all of her chatup lines and come ons were flying over my head I decided it was time to run away before she won me over. Got to feel sorry for her, she's trying really hard!
And that my friends is that, well other than all the bits I've left out :-)
5??
I can see getting a small room out of the front room, just... but where's the other one? Unless they've gone silly and built an extension on top of the bathroom or converted the loft.
Posted by: Joe on February 27, 2007 9:10 AMThe loft was already converted to get the 3.
I can't think how you can make it 5, seems like a real mistake anyway at a time when the private rental market is suffering due to the higher availability of good quality (eg: ensuite) accomodation. "We can cram a couple more in" is not the way to go.
Nah, I think my last room (attic) was part of the original house - only had the dormer window added to it - Joe speaks of the loft next door to my old room - http://www.bloged.co.uk/archives/001130.php for piccies...
They could theoretically have moved the partition wall in the attic to be in the middle of the house giving two equally sized rooms up there - which would be about the same size as the other bedrooms with just less head room.
The guy's clearly bought more houses down the street as there's lots with the same mods going on as you walk down... I find it funny that he's not thought to himself... "Why are all the students houses up for sale down this road?"... and the year before "Why have all theses houses still got To Let signs outside"
