  1. I don't know enough about restrictions for Grade I or II listed buildings but if it is typical of most heritage type properties, wouldn't the extensive work planned for William's home be under restrictions and therefore scrutiny? Jimmy has spent a good deal of money for expert advice and reports. You must have deep pockets for this fight!

  2. How can you make such severe changes to a leased property without the owners application? I'm aware of leasehold improvements but this seems extreme.

    The additional plans look more like a hotel than a private residence. Why doesn't Williams look to a neighbourhood that can accommodate such square footage and save himself a headache. Surely Chelsea council will veto such drastic changes to a Grade II building?

    Michael Winner seems like he was a really kind person. Words os wisdom there, spend more time with your parents. Thank goodness mine liked LZ...... and taught us to play nicely with the neighbours!

  3. Something I noted when recently sauntering down Melbury Road, a distinctly aesthetically unedifying vehicular carbuncle in the guise of a Smart car was ensconced in front of The Tower House's garage door.

    Now come on Jimmy, let's have a level playing field, if I was Robbie Williams I'd file a formal complaint with the London Borough of Kensington & Chelsea that a car of a lesser calibre than an Aston Martin was parked in full public view in The Tower House's garage forecourt. And while we are on the subject, i can't imagine that garage was an original feature....

    Cheers,

    It has been years since I last seen Tower House and I don't recall the garage, but could it once have been a carriage house or stable? It doesn't show on the plans so probably an addition. Smart car? Jimmy doesn't drive but yes an Aston or at least a Jag, I mean, to fit it. Nothing wrong with a Bentley! lol But if Jimmy is "green", it wouldn't hurt my feelings either.

  4. Grade 1 and II listed properties are high maintenance and expensive to maintain. I don't know if I'd be willing to take on a pair. Will there be friendly chats over the garden fence? Not that I can add anything to this particular Jimmy story, but I recently learned that I had a relative who lived at Tower House in the 1940's. I have since wondered if Jimmy would let me in and have a look around.

  5. Besides being a rich folk problem, the houses in that area are of a type. If you buy in that neighbourhood, you should have the decency to keep those magnificent old mansions as the architect intended - everyone else has. Hope JP wins at council.

  6. I'm really upset with the Mark Andes and Randy California Estate over this frivolous law suit. They are effectively going to hold up the release of the material for the writing credit. I suppose they think a quick settlement will net them some cash. Really oily if you ask me. I hope Zep’s lawyers dig in their heels. I can wait for my copy.

  7. I think JPJ put it best, "The show itself felt like the first night of a tour". One thing is certain, a mediocre Zep outing is still 100 times better than any other rock band's best efforts! I thought it was great. The bonus material, the Shepperton rehearsal, also had a couple of gems but I found it a bit frustrating to watch as I really wanted to hear some chat between the member. My friend said he heard Robert say you can't get a blow job in this town but I'll have to hear that with my own ears! Where's the Garden Tapes dude when you need him?
