Another South London gem, The Faraday Memorial, on a roundabout at Elephant & Castle. This is a sculpture by brutalist architect Rodney Gorden representing a Faraday cage and houses the electric substation for the underground. The council has never, to my knowledge, made this fact known to anyone. Nobody in the area has a clue what it is or what it's for, or what it represents. It's just called that box!

How about the bra necessity research project that went on for 15 years? We talked about that on Cincy's thread, I think.

I read recently that a study was performed in The Netherlands where it was concluded that some parents live vicariously through their children and hope they fulfill their own unfulfilled dreams.

Really.

I nominate "The Orbit" which is Britain's tallest public piece of... "art", built for the latest Olympics.
Pass the sick bucket when you're done.

Awww, condolences, Londoners.

Perhaps in time you will come to appreciate it more and hate it less, a la Tour Eiffel? Laughing

I have an idea: let's nominate the olfactory equivalent of this sculpture. I vote for

Thierry Mugler "Angel"

Shera,

I nominate "Opium"

For the simple fact the statue is total balls out, pedal to the metal, I-don't-care-if-you-like-me-or-not, I will occupy this space regardless. (Or should I say "irregardless." The statue seems like it would use "irregardless.") Wink

Good one.

My biggest PP right now is watching destructive children destroy other people's property while their parents ignore them or pretend they are doing no wrong.

I'll stop here.

I'm so glad that you asked Dolby. I've been wanting to share these with someone:

1) public trash cans which must be touched in order to be used

2) big ugly labels left on things (including trash cans, coolers, and related receptacles!!!!)

3) drinking fountains set so low that one is basically making mouth contact with the previous drinker

4) the sound of two pieces of styrofoam rubbing together

5) the fact that I am forced to learn the identities of all of the companies which any of my Facebook friends have "liked". I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!!! I don't want your 4 million thread count sheets. I don't care if you shop at Amazon!!!! I don't want to know that you like Walmart! No, No, No, just NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

It's hot, and I'm grumpy. That should suffice for now.

Twisted Evil

#6: People who yell at their dogs for straying from the curb--or for walking too fast, or for not walking fast enough...

For heaven's sake: they're DOGS!!!!!!!

It's not a petty gripe, either. If you've ever stumbled into the bathroom in the middle of the night and sat down in the bowl then you know what a big deal this is. Men, take note. Idea

Actually, that reminds me of a young woman who called a radio talk show a few years ago to explain that she nearly died of fright the night before, because she sat on her grandmother... who already was on the toilet in pitch darkness!!

Yep, has happened to me. It was awful.

Now, what do you say to the argument that men have to put the seat up when we leave it down, so it's all a wash?

Pet peeves and not psychotic f**king hatreds?

Okay, I have a few of those:

People who throw lit f**king cigarettes out the window of a moving vehicle. It is wrong for SO many reasons.

People who weave dangerously in and out of traffic lanes so they can reach their destination 20 seconds sooner.

Actually these two can easily slide into psychotic f**king hatred territory, so I'd better stop listing things before I get worked up. Smile

Thank you, Dulcemio, for reminding me of one of my top traffic behavior peeves:

People who accelerate to a stop light and then slam on the brakes because the light is red!
