Yes! I have finally thought of something to write about! Quite often, when I'm in a grumpy mood (usually when walking home from work) I realise that there are lots of things around me that are, to be honest, totally pointless!
There are far too many things to write about in one entry of this log, so I shall divide it into parts. The first part will cover sculptures. I am not referring to all sculptors, simply ones that are obviously stupid, and only mean something to the person who made it!
So, I decided to document some of them on my way home. Today was a fairly annoying day at work, so it seemed the perfect opportunity. First things first! I needed to destress with a Frappuccino from StarBucks; quite possibly one of the best drinks ever invented!
Then, immediately, I stumble into my first perfect example of an aimless sculpture. It is situated at the end of the Millennium Bridge, on the North side of the river. You can see St Paul's Cathedral in the background (covered in scaffolding)!
Someone please tell me what the purpose of this is! I considered that perhaps it could be used to shelter a person or two from the rain, but when I stood under it, I realised it would not be very effective. It looks rubbish! Who ever designed it neglected (wisely) to put their name on it anywhere.
If President Bush is getting agitated and desires to bomb something, then I would that suggest he begins here. With the help of Google Earth, the co-ordinates for this waste of metal are 51.5118789737° North, 0.0980947445871° West. Click here for a map.
I shall continue to find some more examples to report about, before changing the subject to other pointless things in London. How quickly I achieve this, depends on how many bad days at work I have!
