that is a nice documentation of that thing. photographing it through a tree was a good idea.

I.T.U.C.: 12th Jun 2006 - 15:27 GMT

elaine: I greatly appreciate your opinion, and patronage.

Lawrence: I must go and check this out one day

elaine: 12th Jun 2006 - 16:46 GMT

was that a bit sarcastic?
sorry if what i said was a bit plank. i can get like that sometimes... the first shot is the most interesting photo btw, but the rest make good context.

I.T.U.C.: 12th Jun 2006 - 17:56 GMT

elaine: No sarcasm. I note your influence on the bloggs. So I thank you for your interest.

Please get use to my thanks, coz base my life of N.A.S.A (Nice And Safe Attitude); Peace Out...

Peter: 12th Jun 2006 - 18:26 GMT

this is awesome- i love it! i say ...

elaine: 12th Jun 2006 - 19:10 GMT

ok, soz.
being a bit of a sark myself sometimes i get paranoid and judge people by my own appalling standards...
thanks for the esteem. would it be right to say props? do i have the lingo or is it squinty?

Jamie: 12th Jun 2006 - 23:12 GMT

it's squinty. nice pics though. i didn't know about this.

elaine: 13th Jun 2006 - 06:53 GMT

ahwell.

happily i am too laid back to say "bovvered? am i? do i look bovvered? i.aint.bovvered..."etc.

I.T.U.C.: Lost!

Artwar: 20th Aug 2006 - 18:49 GMT

...: Where can we find it ?

Benny Snepvangers: 29th Feb 2008 - 14:53 GMT

wow, this alone makes London worth a visit! you cannot but love the guy's sense of humour...

Dawn: 2nd Mar 2008 - 15:44 GMT

It's found on the Heron Quays roundabout near Canary Wharf

tristan: 8th Mar 2008 - 23:25 GMT

I hate it, this is not right for the financial district of Canary Wharf, better placed in Piccadilly!

English Gent: 16th Jun 2008 - 22:08 GMT

There is an event venue not too far from this sculpture called docklands arena. I went there to see the Chemical Brothers back in the New Year of 2000/2001.
The name of the band says it all. I left the venue at 3am totally off of my face on a multitude of class 1 chemical stimulants and reached the traffic lights about half an hour later.
Man, I was stuck there for about an hour tripping out like never before at the amazing light show(trust me, acid makes everything amazing).

me : its cool

Franny Wentzel: 18th Mar 2009 - 02:07 GMT

Stop... Stop... Go... Stop... Go... Stop... Go... Go... Stop...

Screw it... I'm just gonna plough through and contest the damn ticket...

Chapstaks: emm.. nice :)
