I have a hunch that Zaia is going to abduct this thread to AMP as soon as she sees it...

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?

Not if I see to it first. Moving to AMP given recent content.

You may now go ahead and post your favourite or local gov't buildings.

Dammit, I was going to say something like that. It does look like an apartment complex.

Another reason why the Scots should never be free (unless they elect Sean Connery their first PM). :wink:

Urgh, what a piece of shit the scottish parliament building is, an enormous Hand of Nod would've been better.

As for my local architecture, here's some stuff from the town centre:

Above the Town Hall steps and Pillars, there's this carving of ancient dole dossers avoiding work:

At the sides of the steps, we are reminded: "There is no Dana, there is only Zuul!"

One of the several statues that comes alive at night and shoplifts from the nearby Morrisons:

The town hall, which reminds us that our town has a town hall:
Image

The clocktower on the town hall, which reminds us not only of our own mortality, but of Doc Emmet Brown.

Here's the town's sacrificial pentagram, for when one is on a satanic night out:

Wasn't the architect in question Spanish?
Still, look up 'boondoggle' in the dictionary and you'll see the Scotch :P Parliament.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
