I wonder if in time there will be a market for a "Horsebum View" B&B?>
Or a White Horse Pub - one of many i would think in the U.K.
No matter what it looks like i applaud the government for funding public art like this.

"The wing and dish was my least favourite option - looked like a telecoms company logo to me."
Indeed it does--"with our roaming charges, watch your money fly away!"
An apt reminder for mobile-addicted Europeans traveling from one country to another

A Fitting Touch for This Colossus Work of Public Art
-a take off on the Czech dude's recent installation of Europe at the EC in Brussels
Yes behind the Giant Stallion of the South will be a mess of horse dung fashioned into a European map - with all the countries except Britain would be missing.
Now that would convey quite a message, and a true one IMO, to arriving folks from the Continent.

Knock knock!
Who's there?
Maybe it's a big horse.
?
Maybe it's a big horse I'm a Londoner.......
On which note, it seems to me that if ever it gets built, there is an obvious musical offering for the inauguration ceremony:

Don't hold your breath about it anyway. I doubt it's going to be built. They are just applying for planning permission, haven't yet bothered to work out how it can actually be constructed, and they have no money for it. IT was planned to be in a residential/industrial redevelopment of the area, which has now been shelved due to the credit crunch.
