Each day, The Times features a “dream home”. One the other day was in Shrewsbury: “A Grade II listed Georgian townhouse with four bedrooms” for what, to those used to the London housing market, will seem a bargain at £330,000.
The really interesting phrase, though:
“You could convert the cellar and attic into useful spaces.”
Now, I get the idea of the attic being converted back into a maid’s room – and maybe a school room in which a girl could be tutored by a governor. But converting the cellar? Nah: I rather think it should be left as cold, dark and damp as possible…
I agree that the cellar should be left cold, dark and dump. Only in my head it has some useful ‘furniture’ too.
Now I have ideas about remodeling my wine cellar again! I should really stop coming to your site during the work hours!
‘ALIAS’, should stop whining about a wine cellar. For all of us ‘spanko’s would agree, that this cold dark, and damp room, would make a perfect place to store, a paddle, hairbrush, birchrod, cane or whip. With a bench upon which a naughty lady was bending, to receive these spanking implements, upon her tender bare bottom. So say I. And I am sure, many other ‘spanko’s would agree with me.
I wasn’t whining. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough, I said that I agree it should be left cold, dark and dump. I just went further imagining ‘furniture’ in it.
You didn’t come across as ‘whining’ at all, Alias!
I aplologize Alien. I used ‘whining’, because you used ‘wine’ cellar, as a play on words, so to speak. So lets all lift our glass’s high, Oh my. And try, to have a spanking good time. Bye, Bye.
A cold, dark and damp cellar? The spanko’s dream!
