I've had more practise, that's all. I started like this.

I want to live in Caso Batllo!

Leo Pard 13-08-2010 10:35 AM

I want to live in the gherkin.

Feel_Good_inc. 13-08-2010 10:42 AM

the gerkin is full of bankers you know? You'd have to live with them. think yu can stand that?

My brother won't let it drop. Every time he sees the Gerkin he say's "it's the buttplug" as if it's going to catch on. I'm the only one who's ever heard him say it and I'm not going to call it that.

Leo Pard 13-08-2010 10:49 AM

I'll murder them all in a gigantic bloody massacre. Then I'll turn the gherkin into a fort so the police can't get me.
Snorted.

Feel_Good_inc. 13-08-2010 10:52 AM

I think you might actually get some public support there.
dumb bankers and their stupid recession.

Leo Pard 13-08-2010 11:10 AM

Hahaha, very true. Can they not just make more money so there's no recession? Or would that be too sensible...

I live about 3 hours away from the basket building, it is crazy looking up close.

Seen these three.
Infact, my hotel in Prague was just up the road from that building.
Because if you walked the road onto that corner you could then walk up the river to old town.
Which was beautiful.
