London 2012!!

was one of the banners displayed at a recent Barcelona match, according to my reliable source Jordi. Madrid, of course, have submitted a rival bid, hence the mischievous support for London from the Catalans.

Details of the bids can be found at this rich and beautiful site, home of Architectural Record magazine.

One of the recent additions to Barcelona's skyline, the Agbar Tower, can also be seen on the same site, here. It's being euphemistically referred to as "Barcelona's gherkin," but you and I both know what it really looks like. Ideally, it would be located in the heart of the city's red light district, and, though it's possibly bad taste to say this right now, all it really needs is for the city to experience an earthquake to create the full vibrator effect.

And to think this post started off so well.
