    Wait, it fell down? Isn't that the building in NYC? I didn't realise it ever fell.

    Very nice Fawlty, not really to my taste. But I can appreciate the beauty of it.

    Indeed.

    It's not the greatest basilica to look at from the outside, a hodge-podge mix of Neo-Classical and Neo-Gothic architecture, and the tin spires look quite bizarre, particularly in the light of day.

    The naive, however, is beautiful.

    That building always reminds me of a gigantic, minimalist bottle opener.

    A big Tsingtao, given the location. Tsingtao is a lovely beer.

    I imagine they'll make a building that looks like that soon.

    Think Croke park is a great piece of engineering especially the canal end with the train line and canal running through it

    Maybe I'm weird, but I kind of like it. I've found with Oslo that much of the architecture looks ugly in pictures but is quite nice and sleek in person.

    Tsingtao is ok, would never call it lovely though. Some nicer beers in China.
