Yet another on-the-way to work observation:

There is a building just out of the city centre that is being demolished, but it is being demolished from the bottom, up and not vice versa. Now, admittedly, I don't work in construction but logically, this does not seem to be the right way to do it. It is really weird looking at the tower because the top part still has all its windows in and everything whereas the bottom 5 floors or whatever are gutted down to load-bearing walls and a pseudo-floor.

I love watching things get destroyed though - I spent my 20th birthday watching this hideous old DSS buiding in Liverpool being wrecked by a wrecking ball. It was great. I'm sure Marcuse would have some things to say about that but I can't remember what (thantos??) so I won't get into it here.
