It's in What Women Want as well isn't it? How could you omit a classic like that?

[minus Mel Points for you ]

I kind of like London's new City Hall.




It's daft, and it already looks kind of retro. It's quite funky inside too...



'The pickle' is alright as well. In a giant-shiney-phallus kind of way.

The photo was taken at a very flattering angle as there's a street of beautiful Georgian townhouses to the immediate left of the photo and my place is at the apex of two more streets.

Nope it wasn't the rectory (but as the world and his wife must know by now, I still get mistaken for the flippin' Monsignor) but it was Church land. The place itself is pretty new though, the Church sold the land to a developer and there was an old house where mine stands which was knocked down.

Here's Belfast City Hall:











Built in 1888 and not bombed too much surprisingly...

I've laughed at Goths many times while walking past.

There's also Smithfield Market, where bought many a pirate video tape.....




......and The Crown Bar, where I once met Shane MacGowan...

All good people are asleep and dreaming.
We have a Frank Gehry building here in Seattle, Experience Music Project.



Can't wait till they blow up that ridiculous looking piece of chit.

We can't stop here!
I've always liked Thai architecture.

Was it one of Gaudi's melty looking buildings? Or his spindly bulbous church mebe?

I was 16 when i went there, and was practicing my drinking, so most things look melty in my memory anyway. Occasionally twirly too.
