Oooh, liking the sound of the blue and white stripes. I like that they can light it up in all different colours in homage to something. It'd be great to see it bathed from top to bottom in blue and white stripes if we're in a Playoff final, or somesuch occasion.

This. I'm a big fan of landmarks, I like being able to see something from miles and miles away. I do a lot of walking, sometimes drunk, so its helpful to have something to aim for where you know exactly where it is.

What were the colours like, I heard they were lighting it up with a rainbow effect for Pride ? I was going to mince along and have a look meself until I heard the fireworks had been binned off.

Well I found it quite interesting how they've employed the use of "slosh dampers" inside the structure to counteract the wind, as its the tallest thinnest observation tower on the planet. But maybe I'm just easily impressed.

You may not like the thing, but it is still a feat of engineering.

Quite an interesting little feature on The One Show tonight, which explains how it works. 22 minutes in. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07m6zsq/the-one-show-01082016

The base of it is still basically a building site. Looks like its still a few months away from taking paying customers.

I'm another one who likes it. I do a lot of walking, so I quite like seeing landmarks from miles and miles away. I'm not particularly fussed about actually going on it. But I like it now its there.
