Other papers say that they are staying together. So perhaps they will yet find out that in Greggs you can get a card which entitles you to a free coffee when it has been stamped eight times. Why does it take Brad Pitt to alert everybody to this offer while LTNS ignores it? |

The Mail reports that Brad Pitt and Angelia Jolie are splitting up.
Well, at least they will not have to wrangle over who gets to keep the King Alfred apartment, the pop-up toaster from Robert Dyas and money-off curry vouchers for the Sussex pub. |

If the Conservatives were against the KA, why didn't they have this released sooner? They have been in for over two years. |

The Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn look like being dully compromised. That must make us wonder what will happen to the King Alfred if anything more than the current patch up takes place.

Here is more on the housing situation.
Will the Tories have anything lined up long-term for the King Alfred before the 2011 local election?

Perhaps the next architect for the King Alfred will be inspired by this instead of the promenading maidens?

Frank Gehry's King Alfred lookalike in Brooklyn is not going ahead.

In this book of interviews with Gehry he does not sound too bothered that the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn design has collapsed. It looked like his Hove design.

In City News the Mayor is photographed consorting with Josh Arghiros at the opening of the so-called Jamie Oliver restauarnt - but in fact Jamie Oliver turns out to be as elusive as Brad Pitt was at the King Alfred.
Arghiros is obviously taking the pasta again! |

Frank Gehry here talks about recent disappointments, including two projects which have fizzled out - in LA and Brooklyn. But no mention of Hove at all!

If this guy had sat on the St Aubyn roof after Gehry had done his worst, he would have been blown away by a howling gale between the towers and up the street.

The man Josh Arghiros's plan for Dresden House in Medina Villas look to be going the same way as the King Alfred plan he had.
There is no work going on, and the houses are up for sale again. |

With the removal of the tubes at the King Alfred, it looks as if the Council's intention has been to make a stand-alone feature of the public toilets. |
