With Habermas.
Postmodernism should introduce aesthetic playfulness and subversion into science and politics.
Whoops! Almost gave myself away.
BTW I thought he was bloody good in Vigil?

You are given an outlet in St James' rent and council tax free for a year.
What sort of retail/food outlet do you propose to open and make more than a penny of profit?
Nail bar! Obviously.

Not town centre I know but I see that Halfords will close at the end of the month. With Carpetright closed a while ago that makes one large building. More flats?

Last time I went to Halfords was for windscreen wipers. Amazon. Delivery tomorrow. What's not to like?

Delivery times are so much better as quite often are the prices,years ago before online when we had the mail order catologues you would often wait a week or two for the goods to arrive.For example i recently ordered engine parts for a motorcycle from Poland,two days and they was on the doorstep.My son needed a radio connecter for a car,price in town £25,online £2.95 with next day delivery.As for Halfords as Vic mentioned there never seems to be hardly anyone in there,shame its going but i,m surprised its lasted as long as this.Halfords has been in town a long time,used to have a small shop in town opposite the Prince Albert pub,i think the shop is a hairdressers now.

Sorry Officer Plod but the reason I am driving at night with one headlamp is that my Amazon delivery is not until Thursday

Where am I going to get my bike parts, car bulbs, wipers, oil and all those bits and pieces from now?
The last time I got wipers from Amazon, they were very poor so never bothered again.

Blimey, why didn't I think about that! Thank you Captain, what would I do without you on here to keep minions like me informed.

Yay! I'm at present in the Midlands (Brinklow Marina).
Driving up yesterday I was surrounded by huge 'fulfilment centres'
What you want delivered tomorrow to your door.
