A capital idea?

Dear readers. 

This week I went on a 'fieldtrip' with Geography, I use the term of fieldtrip loosely in this sense because we spent a predominant amount of time doing simple the best activity for the female of the species to do, without sounding too stereotypical, it's shopping. We went to the Westfield in Stratford City, you know the place, it was shit, but now they've given it a lick of paint and built some stadium there and now its the focal point of the the Worlds media for the next six months. Seeing the Olympic stadium was no doubt impressive and captivating, a once in a lifetime opportunity some may say.

The stadium in all it's glory, so that's where all our taxes went!

My problem is not with the stadium however, it's with the 'icing on the cake' the 'pierce de resistance' that London has up it's sleeve, the ArcelorMittal Orbit is 115 metres high and was chosen by the Olymipic committee to be a long standing facility once the games has left London, this circular frame on the top (as the names suggests) orbits in a circle to see the whole of London and beyond. It was designed by Anish Kapoor and chosen because it will reinvent the London skyline and the area. If my opinion was asked, I would say that in a scuppered attempted to 'out do' Beijing in 2008, Boris Johnson was given a red crayon in his padded cell and let loose with a piece of sugar paper. To continue the 'Green Games' idea the structure is made completely out of old gas pipes, that's encouraging to know when going up on top then! No doubt that it will stay true to it's gas pipe routes and close down all roads for a number of day while no workmen do anything to it underground should it ever go wrong. Don't laugh this is my life...

After drawing this Boris really needed nap time.
