CHERNOBYL CHILDREN NEED YOUR HELP
Submitted by Andy March on 7 March 2010 - 5:00pmCHILDREN born in the aftermath of the worst nuclear accident the world has ever seen are still feeling the effects over 20 years after it happened and future generations will not be able to escape its legacy.
Youngsters in Belarus breathe in infected air and eat infected food every day of their lives, but just one month away from their country could add two years to their lives and people in Bristol could help them to do this.
The Bath link of the national charity Chernobyl Children’s Life Line is looking for people who are willing to open their homes to children from Belarus for either two, or four weeks this summer.

Breakfast or lunch delivered!
Submitted by admin on 26 June 2008 - 4:24pmI've just created a website for a very nice chap called Ed who has just started a breakfast and lunch delivery service in Bath. He's not charging delivery at the moment while he's getting established and there's no minimum order so give him a try, he's getting good feedback and repeat business.

Grand Designs
Submitted by admin on 21 February 2008 - 10:14amDid anyone see this? What was the verdict? I thought Kevin McCloud was unusually non-committal about the actual architecture. Maybe because it wasn't 100% finished he didn't want to talk too much at the end about the 'design context'?
I also knew that the groundworks were difficult but i hadn't realised how tough it had been, with neighbours wall falling down etc.
See the channel 4 site about it: http://www.channel4.com/4homes/ontv/grand-designs/houses/B/Grand-Designs...
If you missed the programme it's on again on Saturday (23rd Feb) 8pm.
