David Gilmour's Bright Yellow Beach Hut

David Gilmour's Bright Yellow Beach Hut

There is more trouble for the Gilmour family in Hove, Sussex as the local council are on their case about a beach hut they have erected on their property in which they store their bicycles.

The authorities are not content with putting their son Charlie Gilmour in prison for 16 months and want more blood, this time threatening to prosecute the family if they do not remove the hut!

The council say that the hut at the £3m property is not fitting with the local area which is a “conservation area”. It has been decided that this offending hut must be gone!

David’s wife – mother of jailed Charlie – appealed against the authorities but lost and now has to remove the bright yellow hut that the council have deemed to be an “eyesore”. It would seem if you look at this hut for too long it will cause eye pain that local ophthalmologists would not be able to cope with!

A Brighton and Hove City Council spokeswoman said in a statement: ‘We have had a complaint from a member of the public and are legally obliged to act.

‘As the planning appeal has failed, we have told the owners that the hut must be gone by October 1.

‘If that doesn’t happen, we would have no option but to issue an enforcement notice.

‘Failure to comply with that means either prosecution or the council may remove the hut and charge the householder.’

Perhaps the colourful beach hut was inspired by the one on Brighton Promenade which Polly Tweeted her own picture of with David Gilmour stood in front of with one of their dogs.

It is madness that this beach hut story is currently the most read news story on the BBC News website!!

Personally I think the governent should be abolished and keep out of our lives and gardens!

 
The Times Rich List 2011

The Times Rich List 2011

It is that time of year again when the British quality newspaper The Times publishes it’s “rich list” showing all sorts of people’s wealth that they have accumulated.

Whether you think it good or not that individuals have that sort of money, I am pleased to report that Roger Waters came in at number 22 and David Gilmour in at 27.

No doubt Roger’s tour of The Wall has helped put him £20m ahead of David!

I wouldn’t worry too much about David though as £85m is still rather a lot! lol

You can see a full list here. I would post a link to The Times but you now have to pay to view the website. Boo!

Feel free to discuss this year’s Rich List on the forum.

 

Still under construction but here is a new Roger Waters website with potential to go somewhere good in the future as the tour gets under way! Check it out and link to it if you want to encourage its development. If you haev any ideas about it, then please do get in touch.

Roger Waters Tours.com

I just threw it together in 20 mins but will probably end up putting something a bit more technilogically enjoyable on there as soon as I know when the tour will commence when announced on Monday.

I will probably end up adding a blog to it similar to this one but focused completely on following the tour and keeping it for historical reference into the future. I can only go on so much on a Pink Floyd website about poor old Rog but, saying that, I did go on quite a bit about David Gilmour back in 2006 on his On An Island Tour and subsequent release of the David Gilmour Live in Gdansk DVD.

 

Further to my last news story on Roger Waters Tour 2010, of The Wall of course, I am just awaiting any further news from Roger Waters manager after just emailing him.  Hopefully he will get back to me with some good news about a nice world tour of The Wall calling at all continents!  Who knows.

I never did get the chance to watch Pink Floyd live but have seen Roger and David Gilmour on solo tours.  Both being rather excellent of course!  Although not my favourite Pink Floyd album, The Wall is still an excellent piece and wish I had seen the original tour of the wall back in the 1980s.  A tour of The Wall in 2010 or 2010 is something many fans are eager to see: especialyl those like me who are too young to have been concert-goers in the early 1980′s. I minus 1 years old on the opening night of that tour!! haha.

Anyway, if I hear back from Roger Water’s manager about The Wall Tour 2010 or 2011 then I shall be posting news on the website in the news section, will definitely be broadcasting it in the NPF Newsletter and on social networks.
