Giant White Horse!

[Beardie]

Is it art though?

As if that was a consideration...

It's been designed by 'an artist', but I'm not sure that's the same thing.

'Why waste money on saving babies when it only takes nine months to make another'

Love it! Must remember that one.

Brilliant idea. And Not In My Back Yard.

Why does it have to be art? It's just a bloody great model of a horse, exactly as it says on the box.

THe Glasgow "Heavy Horse" is a far better design...

Also smaller and cheaper!

They could have announced a new intensive care unit for babies, but that too would have been greeted on here with the usual negativity: 'Why waste money on saving babies when it only takes nine months to make another' or some such gloom.

Perhaps we should have a thread to find the subject about which not one single Cyclechat member has an objection:

World Peace - What and have our boys in uniform lose their raison d'etre? I don't think so.

Eliminate poverty - What and lose our link to Dickens the greatest English author? I don't think so.

Full Employment - What and have to close all the job centres?

etc. . . .

Is this your pitch for the Miss World competition ?

I thought that was the one you meant Mr Pig. I like it and that's a great photo.

Let the whinging commence!

Will there be a 50m Barbie in riding gear beside it?

how about a Godiva

The moment it goes up every graffiti artist in the south east will be queing up to put his tag on it.

 

[Night Train]

Maybe it will be a Trojan Horse!

The Angel of the North is great. It's got presence and dignity. This horse is a just kitsch.

Artist impressions rarely do justice to Art

 

[Aperitif]

I agree with FM and I would have preferred the cubes as an adventure in image - not another bloody horse sculpture. This green and often pleasant land is littered with them...
This is safe and boring in the extreme.
Come to that, why not an Angel of the South?
Then West
Then East
The country is missing a trick here - we could be in the pink, known as the country of angel delight!

I am trying to be serious by the way - I can't help it.

 

[wafflycat]

That is rather lovely.

Sorry, it's just an ugly heap of rusting metal. Never did like it.
