I'm starting to like the big blue cock more and more.

It has been suggested that the plinth have a permanent statue of Nelson Mandela on it, which I would be quite happy to support.

I wouldn't

I'd far rather see a massive cock erected on the plinth (did i really just type that?) than a statue of, to put it bluntly, a former terrorist.

Oh i know since his arrest, imprisonment and release he's been deified by all PC types, and i'm not denying he did much good work afterward. However, he's still the one who triggered the ANC into armed conflict thus responsible for countless deaths.

Maybe a statue of someone a bit less controversial?

A fair enough comment, which I am happy to accept. Who would you suggest then? Anything has to be better that a blue rooster!

Call me biased, but i'd like to see a scientific great up there. Someone who perhaps hasn't received the recognition they deserve. Someone who has been largely forgotten by the public in favour of someone else, but without whom that someone else would never have completed their most famous work.

Someone like Rosalind Franklin.

(If your first response was "who?", that proves my point. Google her.)

With such a large one on display, I would not be surprised if the comments from the ladies were quite blue :)

Pokémon is still weirdly popular on these machines. Personally i can't see the point of it. You press a button, several thousand special effects flash onto screen in every known (and a few unknown) colour of the spectrum, and a number goes down.
At least Mario has an element of skill.

I remember when it first appeared, it was early secondary school time for me, and i couldn't see the point of it then either.

Speaking as someone who is ostensibly a full grown adult but spent three hours last night playing Mario Kart Wii at a friends house (albeit with beer and pizza!) i can't throw stones in this area!

Only a fool denies themselves fun just because "that's for kids".
