No real news on our move to the Custard Factory as yet. We are waiting ‘oh so patiently’ for the current tenants of the ramp space to move their junk, then the timber can be delivered and then we start building the ramp and, once that is done, we open the new version of Ideal. This all sounds so easy but we are already a month late due to some really boring, lead footed procrastination that is beyond our control. So please be patient and bear with us during these frustrating times as we will make it more than worth your while.

On a slightly more upbeat note, at the top of the photo above is the Dawberry fields bowl midway through constuction. Z got in touch with the project architect this morning and was told that the firm responsible are expected to finish the transitions sometime this week.

Which will be nice.

Below that picture is Neil Bailey who, even, when caught in a prone position gives it a thumbs up anyways. He took a knock to his noggin at Kings Norton last week which involved a visit by the paramedics and a few days on the couch recuperating listening to sludge metal. But how will he know that the headache has eased up then?

My guess is never..!

And another thing….as of today I am going to be starting Ideals own Kris Vile watch. We don’t get to see the little guy any more so If you spot any footy or photos of K. Vizzle on t’ web, please send a link to info@idealbirmingham.co.uk and we’ll post them up. This one for starters. [scroll down on left side window for pyjama shots].
