I went to Birmingham yesterday on the train. It was fine, if a bit

It's better than it used to be but I guess it'll be way better when
they've spent 550 million on it.


I'm still laughing at:

"this iconic new gateway to Birmingham will cement the city's place as
one of Europe's style capitals"

and

"will put Birmingham in the same league as architectural giants like
Barcelona and London"

No, please, make them stop.


Well we'll never get anything built in Brum like the TGV station
outside Lyon. The Victorian Society were on the local news earlier
opposing a horrible concrete tower block being pulled down and
replaced with a metal and glass one.
