Oh really. I'm swaying towards Oval. Would never have crossed my mind that's what it was.
Not really sure. I've looked at it through binoculars and it looks like lots of individual lights

Does look like it. If we can see it that brightly from Brixton, mustn't it be really annoying for local residents?

Very nice cyber, but I'm glad I didn't waste my time going up there to see it (although I did dash back from pub to watch it, gave up, and returned to pub)

I've seen that several times as well...I posted somewhere on the boards about it a couple of months ago but no-one knew what it was. Looking again at your photo, it DOES look like floodlights at the Oval....from where I was looking it looked like it was in town somewhere near the Shard, but having consulted a map I think it could be the Oval...

Yeah, the bendy Thames really fucks up your perception of where things are in relation to each other

I can see those lights from mine too (Loughborough Junction). They looked to me like they were near the houses of Parliament/Whitehall but I guess they can be anywhere on a straight line between. Someone could draw lines on a map based on my and MtM's co-ordinates and triangulate their exact location

Good idea. Wonder if Crispy's charting skills extends to maps? Think you'd need Editor's vantage point as well as he's looking from a completely different direction

Is this because you're too excited about the Scottish (British if he wins) man today?

Oh dear, with maths like that...........Every Scot that moves south of the border lowers the average IQ of both countries.

They could have done something a bit better than your average nightclub
But no, they did something a bit worse than a child with a laser pointer.

The following psytrance is baṉned: All
The top inhabitable floors, yes.
The "mascara brush" bit at the very top was originally going to contain passive heat rejection radiators for the a/c system. But a/c efficiency improved greatly since the original design, meaning the radiators were no longer needed. Those floors are too small for any sensible habitable use, so they remain empty.
