Mmmm, looks like the good end of town...
:-) Isn't there supposed to be a sign at each end of a road? Was the other end worse?
Lara Croft, the Way in Derby
Lara Croft Way, part of a new ring road in Derby, officially opened this week, with a Tomb Raider look-a-like posing for photos. As any Tomb Raider fan would know, Ms. Croft was conceived in Derby, so the voluptuous star was a natural choice, topping an online poll to choose the road name. Lara Croft Way Sign, she's all …

So british ...
... so dingy. So concrete, industrial, 9-to-5, small office, shuffle the papers, another cup of coffee, and Lara Croft shoehorned into it as if that could change anything about ash-grey Derby.
Actually the funniest thing since yesterday's Stob. I'm still giggling. Should have had chips in one hand & pint of ale in 'tother, youth, and in the clubs by ten.
That's bloody hysterical, pics cos it *actually happened*!
Next stop Paris Hilton in Walsall with a kebab.
Made my day! <happy>

It's grim alright...
I used to work at Core Design during the tail-end of the Tomb Raider era.
Before they opened the bridge at the train station it was pure hell walking to work. You had to cross that horrible ring road at the "Cockpit" and pray you could walk along the river if it hadn't flooded. If not, you had to go over the bloody road bridge with mad Mercedes and BMW drivers momentarily loosing control at 80mph as they were caught out by the shape of the bridge.
And nights out. Oh god. I've had a gun pointed at my face in anger and felt safer then than I ever did on a night out in Derby.
There's just nothing nice about that town. Naming some road after a virtual big-boobed bimbo won't do the place any favours.
