On a lighter note here's how not to light a bust of Sir Robert Menzies.
Scary Bob! Take the kids down to Kew Library after dark and he'll give them nightmares for weeks.
Can't wait for the companion bust of John Howard. -
^^ GBCA seem more like the exclusive brethren of green.
The Eyeties do a good tunnel entrance. Go well with mafia staff cars. -
Getting close but I'd say more like Hillsong or one of those crazy south east asian business/fundementalist christian organisations based on fear, faith and money, they're jollier than the Exclusive Bretheren...but some of us are just compulsive joiners or heretics looking for a pyre. The Catholic Church was just an analogy by way of a large international organisation the rest is just theology and populism.
Getting back to the Pixel Building. Put a scoring system on something and some of the boys just can't help themselves and try and turn it into a pissing competition. They ruined surfing too.
Greenstar, LEED, BREEAM scores are like organised religion when what we really want is spirituality.
For Grollo I'd say they're also part of a re-branding process as they expand into a global market, but who knows, maybe they get the spiritual side too. Hope so. -
Know whats really blonde? Pecha Kucha.

info you're not a Methodist are you? It is OK to have fun, even though it might lead to dancing.
How about this orange blonde? The car the DS wanted to be. The body but with the SM Maserati V6 and the SM self centering steering which could break your wrist if you weren't careful. Good for 200kph on 3 wheels. Only 2 built. -
Priceless

plenty of dick sucker architects have them or want them - good car tarnished by fan boys

Come on sod enough of the self loathing. Architects are OK, even the gay ones. We are just prey to our visual sensibilities.
As I've gone on record before I drive a Camry myself, a car which has been described as "whitegoods on wheels" but which comes with an incredibly sophisticated advertising campaign headed by the Toyota Chicken.
-
Citroens were technological fakes that have evolved into rebranded taxis - hence their enduring appeal to architects and the political class.
Engineers, beautiful french chicks and cosmonauts lay down in their matras to pick up the baguettes - since these sorts of people are now extinct in continental europe the vehicle died out with them. -
Like the nun I am catholic bruno. And this is a very honest citroen display because they have removed the troublesome wheels.

f$%kin A to honda. Totally in context.

<p>Bruno, u need a lot of self help therapy to think architects are OK</p>

Nice!!!
Just in from a GBCA tent revival meeting, aka: Master Class.
Halleluja, sell coal and buy solar and wind.
Dr Andreas Luzzi tells us that those crafty Germans have leant on the Swiss financiers of a couple of Australian coal fired power stations proposed for the Fatherland and stopped the projects.
Don't they know that coal is blonde? -
A windscreen shot taken this morning of Neville Quarry's old house at 23 Duke Street, Kew.
That lovely hippy lady who used to teach building science at Melbourne University,was her name Blanche, also lived here until a few years ago.
It'll be interesting to see what happens next. -
Blanche rocked. So does that house. The gutter leaked and she didn't care.
The site shed is a bad sign. -
Marxico....... the writings been on the wall since the 70s.
Aborted woulda-shat-on-a-corvette against debbie/does/danny backstop. -
^Phil Zmood rocks

Anyone like to get hold of some beautiful red clinker bricks.

Greenhaus was right about that site shed. ............but hey, Some great buildings leak but not all buildings that leak are great. -
^ Mofos.
-
Its not pretty - there is a 44 gallon drum in the back.
Inside is a rotting corpse.
Given it would fit in just about anywhere in marxico - What would you park it in front of? -
Maybe here. http://unhappyhipsters.com/page/6

"These walls are wondrous. Destiny destroyed them.
The courtyards and battlements are smashed. The work of the giants is crumbling."
from "The Ruin" The Exeter Book -
- shagged out baby boomer detritus. crush the rubbish, its taking up valuable space.
...................- face it bruno, marxico's wheels fell off a long time back. -
-
Its a nice place.
Enlightenment suburb with Irish bailout refugee overlay.
Plenty of cars no architecture. -
VSGA advises marxican dictator to expand his power base. Green wedges will be relocated to inner city roof tops.

The abolition of stamp duty for first home buyers in regional areas, (called the country when I grew up there) proposed by Labour looks set to inadvertently create a green ring just inside the urban growth boundary surrounded by a "regional" development doughnut.
Read the references and marvel.
