building melts car

[Yellow Fang]

Wouldn't it be cool if this building had a rotating or tilt-able base?

If you see a flash of light as you pass, don't look to see where it's coming from.

One shopkeeper said the glare caused his doormat to start smoking and damaged a lemon

Will the horror never end?

I like the fact that it is now called the Walkie Scorchie.

Look guys stop joking about, this is serious stuff. I have to walk past that spot to get to the post office, Tesco Metro and Greggs! (may have to cross over the road from now on, how will I cope!)

Greggs! How will this affect the VAT on their pasties? If they leave them in the shop window warmed by the glow of the building does this count as the food being artificially warmed and therefore no longer VAT exempt? People, the walkie talkie has opened up a Pandora's box.

Fear not Stowie - the Greggs is on the other side of the road, in the shadow of the walkie talkie, so no VAT issue to worry about.

That was a close call. These architects just don't think through all the implications do they?

For the avoidance of doubt, here is the Greggs, in the shaddow of the lift shaft of the Walkie Talkie. The evil sun ray focusing machine hadnt been installed when the google car visited.

I love the smell of smouldering Brooks saddle in the afternoon.

When the world has ended and all buildings and living things have been done for except ants, Brooks saddles will still be around.

 

[Archie_tect]

And the hot lemon?

He'll be along later sir.

and now the doormat is on 40 a day....

Giant cockroaches will have killed the ants by crushing them under the wheels of their ti-framed be-Brooks-ed bicycles. I've seen the future.

Pah, cockroach smockroach, ants are an unstoppable organised force (boiling kettles aside), cockroaches are behind fridge-dwelling ne'er-do-wells, they aren't worthy of a rusting Carerra let alone anything ti framed.

Greggs?! When there's an independent sandwich shop next door and an EAT just across the road?

You will have to be quick, they are erecting a scaffold screen soon.

This made me smile and brought back memories of O level physics. Obviously, the architects hadn't considered the effect of a reflective parabolic curved surface on light rays bringing them to a focal point
