How about I trebuchet you all pepperoni pizzas? Could I have the day off from running & hiding? Not to mention those outbursts of righteous indignation?

Well, there was that time I got acutelated by the Pandorg.

And had otters thrown at me.

And got transformed into a llama.

And for a while I thought I was VivaldiRules.

And right now, I'm apparently dead.

Other than that, no.

Are you trying to make me feel better? Or is this a ones-upmanship attempt? I admit I haven't actually been eaten yet, but I'm getting darn tired hiding out on top of Am's hat.

So, tell me, how did you feel about all of these traumas?

I am allergic to dust and what does my mother does? BLOODY TAKES OUT THE OLD HIFI LOITERING IN A CORNER OF MY ROOM. I mean, she can have it, but can she pretty please do that what I'm outside the house? Because she brings it about everywhere to dust, test, install it. Maybe the BATHROOM is dust free (and her bedroom too). I had planned to work tonight (nocturnal kind of PhD student) but noo. Antihistamine + mad XVI century accounting don't mix, although now that I think about that that accounting looks as if it was written by me in this condition.

Hey that's me in that car flashing by.

At the speed it's going I should have figured it'd be you!

Say, you must have been there at some point. How different are the acoustics inside?

I've been through there more time than I care to count. there is nothing special about the accoustics. it IS very bright during the day though, without being uncomfortably warm

Maybe, just maybe, if you are allergic to dust you shouldn't let stuff loiter in your room for ages attracting dust without doing something about it?

I'm just saying.....

I was wondering about reverberations like in a big concrete cube. This must be different.

Looks like a shopping centre (which is not a compliment).

Most airports are horrible places, but not all, imo.

Not pretty, but stylish - Shoreham Airport (now apparently also known as Brighton City Airport, which makes me giggle):


And inside (not sure whereabouts inside):


The world's first purpose built international airport wasn't too bad either (it's a business and entertainment "park" now )

Looks pretty much identical to Düsseldorf Airport to me.

Except Düsseldorf Airport has a 40ft giraffe in it; which is nice

Of course it looks like a shopping mall! What would a north american person do if it didn't? We'd be lost and crying for mommy!!!
Even the doctor's office looks like a shopping mall!

(That's more of a nervous laugh, shopping centres scare me. Well, make me feel very uneasy and on edge)

No real difference than any other big terminal building. The roof actually is coated canvas or some such material. They had to replace a bit of it at one point.

I saw a documentary on the building of that building...... on the Discovery channel. I liked the way they clean up between the two roof layers.
