But then I did find it

Wow! What's that?

Lead singer from now defunkt band Lyca Sleep on the Unsigned Band stage at Leeds a couple or three years ago.

As I said, a very technical shot to do, that would be faaaar to difficult to explain how it was set it up......

me likey that shot Ness, I have something quite similar from a (secret?) Bunnymen gig in Dundee c.82 (the night the Suffolk was hit in that Falklands PR exercise) but mine was just down to the lighting rig being three anglepoise lamps and a really long (like 3 second) exposure, must scan it and get in online

It's horrible! What is it? I love it!

I've been up that (during the short period after it opened, before it started tilting )... fantastic views as I recall

ah, the thing that never works

Six minutes ... I was timing you.

But what (except for tilting and not working) is that?

I know where it is and have seen it, I think, but not a clue what it actually is

Coming back across the North Sea from holiday, July 2005...

No Steven... f**king hours - the lift got stuck!
In keeping with the general theme of the place (i.e. Glaswegian incompetence)

broken art, Glasgow specialises in it

But what is it, apart from broken and tilting. We need to know/ken!

No, I meant how long before you'd say "I've been up that!"

For you insistent foreigners, go here.

It's basically a viewing tower, isn't it?... joined to some science museum which I can barely remember...

It's the largest freestanding building in Scotland.

And the only building in the world capable of rotating 360 degrees into the prevailing wind.

Obviously.

Have I told you that before?
Didn't realise I was so repetitive

Obviously.

Only it doesn't actually rotate?

Seems quite an amazing thing, otherwise!

Vee hat buildings of satt size in za medieval days..

Oh, and I guess the building I live in will rotate 360° as well, but I doubt it'll be standing afterwards..

I believe it does. I only learned that recently - it previously caused me no end of confusion!
