Or even opposite.

With a proper pair of London Eyes, we could get huge sponsorship from Luxottica (the current owners of the Ray-Ban brand), and possibly even see an enormous pair of Aviator sunglasses, for the London Eyes, built in time for the summer (which is, I believe, in 2012).

       Maybe if you just painted the current one brown it would be a more appropriate 'eye' for London - smack in the centre of the two rough hemispheres that are North and South London, with the Thames as a crack running between them. Ointment and suppository maunfacturers are already lining up to sponsor (relieve?) it.   

       God bless The Smoke - we love it really... ;)

boysparks, Jan 12 2006
  

       we haven't called it the smoke for decades. (for good reason)   

       love that map, IT.

po, Jan 12 2006
  

       IT, re the map, yes, spot on.

boysparks, Jan 12 2006
  

       Wow, I've heard that the weather there really sucks, but no summer until 2012? I never knew it was *that* bad. :)

half, Jan 12 2006
  

       Nice, IT.

       most exellent - could get added twitching eyebrows (skybrows) and has inspired me to write Londonatomy

       During the 12 month winter, fill the Eyes viewing cars with a constant stream of water so that the Eyes turn into cascading water displays.

       I want to bun the map, but I'll have to settle for bunning the idea. How's about using fog machines to create ineffable eyebrows above each eye?

       London monocle?   

       Ah, of course, it'd be a spectacle!

       I had to read this twice before I failed to understand it.

ldischler, Jan 13 2006
  

       thats sad!   

       I know a doctor...

po, Jan 13 2006
  

       [ldishler] - Do you know what the London Eye is? (link)

wagster, Jan 13 2006
  

       Well!, it <i>is</i> winking at me!

gnomethang, Jan 13 2006
  

       That? I'm going to London in a couple of weeks...for the weather. Is that thing going to be running?

ldischler, Jan 13 2006
  

       pretty much goes all the time I believe (except for maintenance).   

       gonna meet any h'bakers while you're here?

po, Jan 14 2006
  

       If we can't do this, then the alternative plan is:   

       If everybody could vote for me today at the Mayor of London & London Assembly Erections, then I promise to instigate at least the "London Sunglass". Just the one.
