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?

It looks rather like a trombone gone wrong.

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...
