ok time to be controversal

Nice one biggles... Good job NWDC will be no more in just over a years time then !

Or maybe not , me thinks.

I like the head, it has a sister, exactly the same on the banks of the Thames in London !

I like the head. It always reminds me of the statue of liberty in the Planet of the Apes for some reason.
