Right, a brief detour from the Materials Mini-Series, today's one is going to be all about weird, strange looking buildings. I thought of this because of my exciting and 'unusual' new hair-do.
So, it's all about buildings and architecture that make you stop, do a double-take and think 'Blimey O'Reilly Sellassie I; that's a bit odd!'
And if you enjoy this thread, as many of you have said, then please pop something into the pot for the Bullheart charity. Thanks.
