Unbelievable, you can't park anywhere nowadays.

I was gone 10 minutes and the thugs took the wings, canopy, aft fuse, wheels and anything else of value. Bugger, should have gone fully comp.

Tornado involves the physical and conceptual transformation of a decommissioned RAF Tornado airplane into a large single bell. Situated in a busy public space to coincide with the Cultural Olympiad’s Open Weekend of 24-25 July and placed at a human level, the bell may be rung by anyone who encounters it.What a load of arty farty bollocks. Anybody know what they are on about? I like this bit from the second report........“First of all, I’m astonished by the sound,” said the London-based artist Well what did you think it would sound like? A bell perhaps? Thank god university fees are going up to £9000. It might stop idiots like this from doing Arts degrees.

Is it true that the rusty brown and blue coloured objects in the background had a faster rate of climb and could sustain a higher altitude?


I know, I know, I'll go back to stock checking the bedding store....

I assume the Pilot ejected safely...is he in another skip perhaps? :confused:

This is photoshopped of course; there is no way the guy in the day-glo shirt (the recycling technician) would allow you to pull up in a company Corsa, drag that out of the back and dump it into one skip. Come on, there's balsa wood, airfix plastic, wiggly amp thingamies and, probably, some peat left over that fired the engines - all of which go in different skips!

It's a spoof, there's no Tesco trolley in there with it.

Why would you need a shopping trolley, I thought we had two seaters so you had an extra bod in the back to carry everything for you? ;)
