manc-mag 1 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I think it's shite. I'm pleased it was Gateshead tax payers paying for it and not us. When you see old people queuing outside the post office for their pension on a Monday morning in the bitter northern wind, nothing to look forward to but a visit from their home help, and a tin of cat food is all they can afford, it puts in to perspective what a waste of money it was. To be fair, that applies to all public art and local improvement projects. You could redistribute all the things that have made Newcastle city centre (we'll let those south of the Tyne call it NewcastleGateshead if it makes them keep on paying for everything) a more modern, accessible and pleasant place over the last couple of decades to Granny's Tinned Ham And Fuel Bill fund and life would undoubtedly be much fairer, but also of a lower quality for everyone fortunate enough not to be in that position in the first place. Swings and roundabouts really... Hey, he said cat food! Don't go forcing that muck on them. You're obsessed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it was all or almost all of it was funded by the lottery, arts council and private sponsorship. I.e. money earmarked for the arts etc. anyway. Rather it was spent there than FURTHER down south like Houghton-le-Spring . I like it too. Edited February 27, 2008 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 What a froot loop. Aye well in your size comparisons ANYTHING looks "massive", eh? That's poor even by your standards.

Fop 1 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I still say they told us it would get shinier. Nah it was pre-rusted and would get rustier, although I don't think it's changed much tbh. Cheap and cheerful (relatively). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Proving you're right about what? I bet you can't even give a straight answer to that. Ah the classic "oh shit, I'll try to divert the issue and create an argument that is subjective enough I can try to tie it in knots indefinately"........ bound to come eventually. You are like a book, it's scary...... but fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15877 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Seriously though. In whose world does "Aye well in your size comparisons ANYTHING looks "massive", eh? " merit any kind of serious response? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
