Uses For The Dome....

Killing two metaphorical birds with one stone, personally, I would legalise cannabis and strip the shit out of the Dome and turn it into an intensive Cannabis farm. I confidently predict that we could recoup the costs within 5 years...........Any other righteous proposals ?

You could turn it upside down and use it as the biggest wok in the world and make colossal curries etc.
Or, strip out all the exhibits, fill it full of gloopy lighting and millions of bean bags and cushions and a bouncy castle or two. Then install a pre-rolled spliff machine. snacks n' sweets, a selection of fine wines available and have Rainbow Dome Musik on a loop in surround sound. Add strategically placed joss sticks and oil-burners and, voila a giant (Heads only of course..) chill out podule. Maybe have a saucy antechamber for those feeling a bit of frisky "free-lurve" coming on....
oo-er!
Or alternatively, mould and paint it into a giant breast of the Mother and create a 21st century pagan place of worship and community. Hurrah!

Believe it or not, I'm actually going to the dome next week. Mainly so that I can get my own opinion of its contents. The people I know who've been have said it's not as bad as they thought it would be (not much of an endorsement, I know, but hey.). I have a strange attraction to white elephants like this. Mind you, the spliff-zone sounds like a bloody good idea. Once I've been I'll let you all know how high it registers with me on the crapness scale. Masochistic, or what?!...

Use it for what it looks like - a giant tent.
Provide free camping for all visitors to the metropolis and provide food free as well - a few million would not be wasted.

i think that's very noble of you, to sacrifice yourself for research!
i posted a furious message last night about the amount of money that's being poured into the dome which i feel could be better used elsewhere (duh!), but it disappeared when I submitted...after letting off steam, i had a vision of the designers of Silbury being faced with a similar backlash, which made me smile again...?!?
the Millenium Dope... a much better idea, as long as they sell hash cakes as I'm getting too old to smoke ;o)

I had a crazy thought about the dome this afternoon (as I stared at it through the train window)... given that Monsanto (or whatever it is they're calling themselves this week) will almost certainly contine to carry out GM crop trials in this country (as much as I'd like them to stop), why don't they buy the dome and convert it into a giant greenhouse? I mean, if they HAVE to plant their shit, I can think of no better place than in the middle of a city where contamination will be minimised. Plus, the indoor element will reduce that threat further. Finally, of course, I'd gladly see *them* pay back some of the money that was squandered on the bloody thing.
Of course, this isn't a posting saying that they SHOULD be planting this stuff, merely that - as they probably will do whatever we think - it's probably the least harmful place to do it.

Yeah! Let them plant it up then give people free entry to trample it. It'd probably attract more visitors than it does at the moment!

wiltshire council meeting....times past.
right you buggers we've dragged these bloody stones from god knows where and spent a bronze age doing so.
we've tooled them and erected them at toll payers expense to create our unique Stonehenge and no-one gives a toss, I say we pull 'em down and stop this utter waste of time and tribute.
You said they'd bring in the pilgrims but they still only go as far as Avebury. Stone circles are passe man
you should have known that. All the big developers are moving into pyramids and towers, lets get one of those nubians to do us a make over, perhaps a nice wicker frame.......witter... witter.......drooool

The only POSSIBLE benefit I can see in such a suggestion is to 'lure' the bastards in with promises of a GM free for all, then lock 'em in. Feed them pot noodles and the worlds surplus remains of their Green Monsters until they die a squalid and repentant death, leaving US to continue eating Mom's little apples as they were meant to be.
ggrrrgrgrggr. ;-)
