    Brilliant, Sophie. You have spotted one of the rare examples of flint and pantile construction in West London.We live in an odd little corner

    'The Mind of Bryan'. At 6.00am engine room a shambles; 9.00am door re-hung, tiles replaced, yard cleared; 11.00am walls re-plastered, room refitted; 1.00pm engine fully functioning; 4.00pm output unstoppable; 7.00pm engine develops severe malfunction, seizes-up, 11.00pm three tiles fall from roof, door won't shut.

    Desirable Notting Hill property. Semi-terraced, new to the market and would benefit from sensitive restoration. Priced for a quick sale at £1,500,000.

    Hmmn, plans for a granny flat? Certainly room for a deep freeze in there if you don't want the Inland Revenue to know that Granny has passed on.

    Why go to Tate Modern when Tate Modern can come to you? Our Art Lover's Fun Pack will show you how to turn your garden over to Kevin O'Dosser's "Moi Bed", an unsparing indictment of middle-class reluctance to allow others inside our personal space.

    I don't like to be morbid but it looks like there's a body wrapped in that plastic sheeting.

    Do we get points for guessing who?

    Dick, I think it's a bloke who was held prisoner in there for three years. As the tornado swept through he was able to escape, and as he got half way through a cry of "Freedom" and with arms raised to heaven in thanks, three tiles came off and killed him.

    I think it could be John Carey after his last book review got 'slated'.
