You mean since it got derailed rescued from the obscurity of page seven became a 'same-joke-every-page' thread.

Blib said:

It's a damned fine joke though!

Yeah, it was hilarious on page 62, very funny on page 63, worth a giggle on page 64, got a wry smile on page 65, an ever-so-slight groan on page 66....


....and here we are on page 94.


Its certainly got some legs this joke

Or page 24 as its know to those of us with the big boy settings

So in big-boy world all the good stuff is on pages 1 & 2 and thereafter it plummets...crikey

For the Blibites...



...but seriously...

Are we there yet?

[im]

Beautiful.

I thought we'd exhausted all the ways you could tell the same joke...clearly not.

[im]

Thats why its called 'the Shard (of glass)'...otherwise it's be the 'the glass pyramid'.

I could take a Blib inspired photo next time I walk past to show you, but I don't think im would approve.

As I'm a gentleman and you're a lady I won't tell you where to stick any such photo Daisy suffice to say why not start a 'crap snaps of the Pinnacle' thread instead?

Wednesday, May 2nd on Channel4 @ 9pm.

"The Tallest Tower".

The blurb says;

"The story behind the creation of The Slice Shard, described by English Heritage as a 'spike through the heart of historic London'".

Gotcha!

Is that the same English Heritage who insisted upon those 3 houses being retained right in front of the proposed new THFC Stadium?

Blib said:

Probably. bds.
They've got a point with regards to the Slice, though.

Was that area overflowing with Dickensian/Tudor architecture, bulldozed for this glass monstrosity?

Damn

Surely a pointy point is more appropriate?!

You have a point.

Abseilers on one side whilst the crane is dismantled on the other...nearly time to crack open the chardonnay...

I bet there will be a few problems when time dictates the demolition of such.

According to the program on Ch4 the other night its expected to stand for 100 to 200 years.
