impressive. well done. and took the time to see sligo too. still quality. damn shame. what is that cool building beside ur bridge?

by **alan d** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 12:40 pm

If you mean what I think you mean, then that's a residential tower FIN, projects over the river.

We're updating our site to include an "if only" section. In it, will be the Bridge, the Parliament and Sligo........ James's quotation will also be added.

.........only kidding about the quote. See who's says Scotsmen are thinned skinned?

by **FIN** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 12:53 pm

:-) would be funny if you did though. and yeah it projects alright. nice looking thing. is it proposed or built or will it be built?

by **alan d** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 1:03 pm

It was part of our proposals that went down the toilet with the unanimous choice.

Not much call for that kind of stuff in Glasgow. I think the local heritage officer objected.

well from what we saw of the responses of these people that wouldn't suprise me.

Bit long What? Nice sentiment but does'nt exactly trip off the tongue.

C'mon lads this is the land of O'Casey and the Poor Mouth after all. All we've got is Burns

............the whole feckin place has now had to stop work.

That sound you can hear in Dublin, is our office rolling about the floor.

ahhh theyre architects, not as witty as civilians

by **alan d** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 4:31 pm

Well, that could be true.

According though to this month's GQ architects are the new love gods. Of course that just means the magazine has'nt yet opened it's office in Edinburgh.

Need to get me one of those smiley things Paul, that could be where I'm going wrong

by **Paul Clerkin** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 4:41 pm

That sounds like a story I was going to start in Ireland....

Incomplete Winker is what I've just been called John for reading GQ magazine.

Rum deal I think........ could'nt spell Cosmopolitan

continuing the appropriate 'bone' theme for 'rogers'' bridge, how about 'bony & clyde' the fearsome duo of pristine iconitecture and dank river....cheesy but has to be better than horseshoe....or Neptune's Sway.

Tradeston, typical day in 2004, windy & wet:
Mither 'go and get us a pint of milk across the way Johnny'.
Son 'aye'
Half an hour later:
Mither 'what took ye? yev been gon oors an yer drippin wet, ye fall in or somein??

Time for a new thread...what about specific changes in the Planning Law to extricate aesthetics from people untrained to judge?

instead of neptunes way, how about wilkinson eyre's way?

by **phil** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 12:11 pm

I am sure if it was about three years ago, it would have got a really original name along the lines of the Millenium Bridge, so why not call it the 'Post-millenium bridge' bridge!!!;)

I have edited this because in retrospect it is not funny at all. My apologies

Exhibition opens 3pm today at The Lighthouse and have forwarded name suggestions to the organisors as promised.

The Jawbone hits the spot, for me.
