</tbody></table>The market for stuff you wear to bed (The Lingerie 500) fell to new lows today after the launch of Apple Facetime for The Mac (<a href="http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime">http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime</a>).<br />
<br />
A spokesperson for the industry claimed that 80% of all pyjama purchases are made by or for homeworkers - who will now need to wear 'something sensible' to appear in front of the camera.<br />
<br />
A government source claimed that there was no case for further quantitive easing as most pyjama trousers had elasticated waists.<br />

<br />
For many years the building has been slowly decaying and something needs to be done for the sake of our community and for the people who use The Rec on a weekly basis.<br />
<br />
We're now on our second attempt to find funding for a feasibility study and, once that's through, the big task starts: public consultation, planning applications and of course the drive to find the capital funding for the new build. <br />
