So, we're now only 2 years away from 2012.
They've announced a massive piece of public art for Stratford, which you can see here. I actually really like it! What do you think?

Reminds me of a stiletto.

It looks like a melted Eiffel Tower.

Yawn.

It looks rather like a trombone gone wrong.
Well, to me it does anyway.

Luckily it's funded by a private individual

What does it do?

I wonder if they're also going ahead with this monstrosity.

My thoughts exactly. It's the musician in us (assuming you are one yourself, of course!)
Still, at least it doesn't have any protruding pointy bits like the ones that kept falling off the ill-fated "B of the Bang".

Mind you, I'm sure something else will go wrong with it...

Thank goodness.

Why the hell didn't he have it built in his back garden where intelligent people wouldn't have to look at it?
