Should we rename UT to "The Obscure References Forum"?

Okay, top this. The 1506 Nix Nix Centre

You're no match for Google.

Though come to read up on it, perhaps the 'Fubar Centre' might not be so far off-base.

 

[esplanade guy]

Well, if Lastman gets it, it will have to be the Lastman"s Badboy World's Greatest Centre! (To hell with modesty and truth in advertising)

I like the Fubar Centre moniker. That will definitely fit the bill for many who are horrified that yet more of Peter Dickinson's work will be disfigured. I am unhappy that saving this building has come to this, but if the Board and City say this is what they have to do to preserve it, I am glad that they have a unique and potentially iconic tower waiting to rise to the side of the auditorium. If it all goes ahead, let's hope that Libeskind interfaces his building respectfully.

Was it for an article, or have they started advertising it?
