It's been looking a bit dodgy for many years now, and was fenced off a long time ago. An unplanned self-demolition would have been problematic for the adjacent buildings. This was it in 2008. There was a lot of spalling and resultant exposed reinforcement bars. I did once come across a photo with a poor view of the earlier tower, a smaller and rectangular affair. None of the potential suspects that I have grilled can remember the earlier one or even the round one being built.

This is, I am told, a satellite picture from earlier today.

Mmm, mine came from eBay. Maybe Jeff is a bit short of cash and worried about being able to afford my commission?

I've just come past Ballybrophy and it's still Christmassy around there.

If you're speaking to Jeff, tell him I don't mind if my commission on this sale arrives in pounds or euros.

That would be Child's play to anyone with a High enough IQ.

The dinosaur remains an enigma. The box was not sealed, so it could have been put in there by the seller, if it wasn't inserted by Tamiya themselves. Maybe it is a homage to the illustrator of this book..?
