I hadn't realised that Brum New Street was being refurbed

Resurrecting this thread because it shouldn't go unnoticed that That Nice Mr Paulley has got 'Mordor' into Hansard, via the now legendary Tanni Grey-Thompson.   

She is brilliant. If I met her, I think I'd become tongue-tied in awe.

When I competed back in 2004, I tried to explain to somebody why I did not want my racing chair to be thrown on to a separate bus. I said that I would rather my two year-old child was sent on a separate bus, but then I realised that I sounded like a slightly harsh mother.

Lady GT has improved in recent years... Twitter I think has done her good.

Well, it's hard not to be impressed by her work with the World Bollard Association.

Lady Baroness GT has improved in recent years... Twitter I think has done her good.

FTFY

Barakta is correct.  Although TG-T is a Baroness, her form of address is Lady Grey-Thompson.  She would only be called Baroness Grey-Thompson in the address on an envelope (when it would actually be 'The Baroness Grey-Thompson').

Oh. O.k.  Sorry B.

NP. I only know cos her Twitter profile specifies her correct title and that she's no longer a Dame...

#1 son informs me that because filming Mission Impossible n in Birmingham, Mordor Central is done up to look like an airport this morning.
How difficult is it to disguise a bland soulless place as a bland soulless place?

[Canardly]

A shopping mall with trains attached. The most unfriendly place I can think off in terms of finding your way about as a stranger.

Station staff will be pleased to know that the steam train crash also done for the same film wasn't departing from their station.

Another set up to keep shortarse in the headlines? It's been wall-to-wall here this week.

its like what to do with something that looks like turd, cover it in tin foil.

You cant polish a turd, but you can cover it in glitter, or in New Streets case, tacky sheet metal

Looks like they finally found a use for that huge atrium:  Commonwealth Games bull Ozzy roars into life at station unveiling

I note that the bull has been re-mantled without the structural telehandler and noisy generator.  Not that there's a shortage of diseasel fumes at Mordor Central.

If it was named via a public vote, how come he's not called Bully McBullface?
