    If they could nail some railway tracks to it, it might make a good thrill ride at Alton Towers.

    I was thinking it was somewhere between Pisa and Alton Towers, but still tat.

    Looks like he tried to design it properly, got bored and just made a huge squiggle to get down the pub early.

    So, designed by an Indian bloke born in Bombay (Mumbai) India, being built by a firm that was founded in Ireland by an Anglo-Danish engineer, part funded by a British-Indian steel tycoon and £3.1m provided by the London Development Agency. "whose purpose is to promote London's economy, with an emphasis on small and medium enterprises (SME's)"..

    Right - still wondering if the piccy is the scaffolding for the main exhibit.?

    A pile of "Tat," would most probably be more interesting!

    We should be applauding the man; not only has he given the UK (London) a sculpture we can be proud of, he's also introduced a new word into our language.

    At the same time we close hospital wards and people wait for operations.

    Is anyone else really struggling to see how it incorporates the 5 olympic rings? As fart as I can see, the only rings involved are the designer, and Boris for thinking its a good idea........

    Truley gutted it's NOT a roller coaster though. I think we should start one of those online petitions, see if we cant convince Boris and Gordon to stick tracks and a few carts to it.
