Finally someone points out the obvious. I'm expecting the gooniest possible response from the ship.

I wonder if that building is based on something. That little point at the top is pretty distinct, though it's otherwise pretty normal looking. Besides the giant hairdo, anyway.

And it's not the Bullring's cancerous growth known as Selfridges. Seriously, look at this scaly cyclops with a trunk. Is it not worse than anything Giger could have designed? Will it not deny you sleep until you've drowned memory of this dreadful vision in enough alcohol?

I bet that thing gets hot during the day. And blinding.

Buildings with metal outer walls were/are still a thing. A thing that directs heat and light at next door buildings because gently caress being a good neighbor.

See the BOK center in Tulsa, OK. Opened in 2008. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOK_Center In the late afternoon, the building's shine is blinding. There's a highway just west of the place, and passing the BOK center at the wrong time of day is painful to the eyes.

You mean I can walk in an elephant and LOOK AT A NICE CHURCH at the same time? If I had money, I would vacation in Birmingham because that sounds like a great old time.

Yay for games conventions at the NEC!It wasn't that bad, there's a really nice little cafe/coffee shop next to the train station where you can sit in the basement for 4 hours and they don't care and... The whole airport/train station all-in-one thing is quite nice? I guess? It was a cheap week away with friends I don't get to meet otherwise.

I was in Birmingham at the weekend (and have been there many time) and it looks a lot better in person. Coventry though... They have the occasional nice buildings:  But then they go and do this to them:
