For me the Arcelor Mittal Doctor Octopus thing should win this hands down.
I pass it quite often and it simply does not have a good angle.

I'm going to reserve judgement on it.
It's certainly not Kapoor's finest hour, though.

Torygraph comment
Can't some arsonist be paid to do a better job of burning this boat ? Most of the interesting parts of this clipper were burnt to a cinder in the original fire; the restoration was utterly pointless, as well as being hideous. Sell off any remaining genuine wood to a wood carver, and let them make scale models to sell to daft tourists for the next 500 years, in Greenwich or somewhere.

I like,
'It's 'right on' and and kow-towing to the corporate-left of the architectural establishment and its 'brutalist' and graceless modernist designs.'
I just thought it looked like a wave, personally. And offers better viewing/less arson accessibility.
I approve.

I think it's a good concept that could have been executed much better
The fact that the window panels are so large makes it look like a B&Q greenhouse. I'd have liked to have seen it with much smaller glass panels - HIGH POLY NOT FOR A GAME

Urgh.
Was this what they were doing when they set fire to it? Perhaps it'd be better if they'd just left it to burn...

unfailingly voices opinions diametrically opposed to mine. It's actually quite useful if I'm not sure where I stand on a topic.

I quite like it...
The only claim to fame of the Cutty Sark is that it survived the fate of most of its contemporaries. It isn't that old either being of Victorian origin (1869) and constructed of iron clad in timber (which is partly why it survived the fire).
You have to ask the question 'what for', when spending that much on a restoration. In this case the reason is tourism and education rather than the preservation of a national treasure. The nay-sayers have completely missed the point.

the interior looks quite interesting from the tiny picture I can find on their website

But yeah, not sure what they were thinking with that superstructure. Maybe to hide the struts holding the ship up?

Robert Smith solo last night at Bilbao BBK Live
I was at BBK Live last night. The Cure had an hour's delay due to some technical problem, so Robert Smith came out with a guitar and sang solo for a while.
Hope you can see this in your country, if not, move to Spain.

I read an interview with him in this month's Word magazine
he made a couple of references to how people want him to stop drinking and he doesn't want to - and has never done a show without drink or drugs.
Made me slightly worried he might have a heart attack or something - he's 53.
Look after yourself Robert!

I wish with all my heart that someone had said that to Tim Smith of Cardiacs a few years ago.
My favourite band- ridiculously good music. And is a genius composer & played many, many instruments extremely well.
And he's now in a terrible state: www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/feb/03/cardiacs-tim-smith-stroke-tribute-album

There was a brief interview on 6Music earlier this week.
It's not often you hear him talking, so it was a nice surprise.

Would be scary to see stashed in the woods.
Wondering what's going on with its feet though.
