CharlieBrown Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 This would be a tragedy if they did not add a underlit dance floor light installation and play staying alive on a loop, every time someone walks past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ask yourself this: What is anyone actually going to do with this expensive statue of the Bee Gees? And therefore what is the point of it? Why not just Google some pictures of them or watch a video on YouTube if you want to be reminded what they looked like? Seagulls like them 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forget that this is the Corpy. They have actually managed to come up with something even tackier and considerably less fun: Quote It will depict the three Manx-born Gibb brothers atop a vinyl record with the words 'Ellan Vannin' written around the perimeter. But fear not because Cllr Christian assures us it "will have 'worldwide appeal'" and "create a landmark feature that both visitors and locals will appreciate". And a mere snip at £150,000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hampsterkahn Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 If the sculpture is of high quality then it may develop its own appeal as a work of art with the subject matter having less importance with time. It will no doubt acquire a nickname, like the Dublin statue of Molly Malone (“The tart with the cart”), but the reaction of future generations may well be , “Who?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the idea is to encourage 'selfies' to be shared on social media, but photos don't get the reach of video, add a dance floor and music and every one would upload a video, in DFE economics the return on investment for this change would easily be an extra 5 million of visitor spend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Johnson Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Its been painted and it's a bloody eyesore.. I did think the other day if I was to paint a huge cock and balls on the adjacent hill would that be allowed too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
