portobellojambo1 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 If so can you explain why it appears that 18 of the windows appear to have plants/leaves, something bloody green, growing all over them. To say it looks feckin daft is an understatement, but the reason may be perfectly logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Is it just 18 windows? I think so neobis, it might not even be Meadowbank House but the building next door that has been standing empty for a while now (maybe called St Margarets House). Only appeared this week, a few windows at first, then a few more each day and tonight it was 18 (fairly obvious I get pretty bored on the bus journey across town I think, considering the things I notice while staring out the window).

The Brow Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 To be fair if youve ever seen the amount of work done in Meadowbank House it pretty much lies empty 12 months of the year. The only office ive ever been in where folk get paid to read magazines constantly. It is the one next door your talkin about but ive no idea whats going on.

They're turning St.Margaret's House into some kind of arts centre. They've been trying to lease offices in it for what seems like years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I work for the other company that works there. Its just jealousy on my part. Although dont take that to mean I work particularly hard. I dont. Theres an old boy on our floor (2nd) who properly falls asleep all the time. You probably know him, he's got a huge tache and "works" about 20 hours a day. Ive seen plenty times where he is properly passed out snoring his erse off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
