A cryptic reference to the analogue switchoff?

Anyway, i think they'd look much better covered in reflective min dishes, these could all be aligned to beam death rays down the coast to Hastings.

Haven't the death rays already struck most of Hastings?

Digital television is a red herring.

Television from around the world is streamed through the internet.. That is the future.

There is a need for more homes but again, as KA, this is a total over development.

That Argus piece is frightful rubbish, just recycled PR.

Much more interesting a subject is the way that the Marina land is owned. How, as things stand, could this latest scheme proceed?

I wonder if that over-built developments in Brighton & Hove are really family friendly as always they mention, or definitely have the fertility control in mind, since more of that properties have one or two bedrooms

From what I seem to remember the 'affordable' element is going to be rather downsized rooms so even if it has the minimum 3 bedrooms for a family, the actual space allowed will not be suitable for family occupation.

A room that will take a single bed but no wardrobe is not exactly livable space even if you do call it a bedroom.

Because bill gates owns the internet right?

Funny you should mention tv's not crashing as i remember times when signal has been lost for my tv for various reasons.

Internet tv is the way forward, desync is a good one to start with.

The future....
http://www.radioandtelly.co.uk/btvision.html

Back to the Marina, the skyline offered to us at the moment could be anywhere in the world.
I want a development that says this could only be Brighton City, buildings like the Gherkin in London or a new Pier like a suspension bridge that gives the impression of large sails.
Whats on offer at the moment is bland and uninspiring,the future slums and ghettos of Brighton...

By the time they finish
the sea may change,
maybe they will bring in more Rocks.

Isn't a "pack of cards" design just another way of saying "they will look like a big box,but skinny one way and fat the other".......

I came into the world with nothing and still have most of it left..
