Yes, they've started building the damned thing at last!
Should be ready about the same time as Falmer.

Godd news, keep us exiles updated on progress.

They said 18 months originally. I believe the actual structure is already half-built in Holland.

 

[house your seagull]

It is 183 metres above sea level - taller than Blackpool Tower, the Spinnaker Tower and the London Eye

puts it in perspective because those 3 are mahoosive!

Yeah... Beachy Head lighthouse is only 43m!

 

[Exmouth Seagull]

Bump.

All eyes are on Falmer for very good reason, but I'm an exile wondering if there's any more progress on this construction too.

 

[Robot Chicken]

Doesn't seem to be much happening, I drive past the site twice a day.

Finally, some proposed thingumabob is going to actually be built in the city!!! God knows how the pier hasn't been built ahead of this.

 

[Notters]

[Notters]

Does the top bit REALLY have to be pink?

:safeway:

they're building a giant pole with a round object going up and down it and you think the gay part is that it's pink?!

 

[KNC]

Is there going to be a webcam?

 

[Notters]

How many trains an hour to Brighton station?
How will they segregate the away fans?

 

[KNC]

Should the 'pod' be called the Dick Knight Doughnut?

 

[csider]
