When you ask anyone how high that building is going to be, no one seems to actually know! :*: Apparently from its top, you can see the earth's curve

I think I read somewhere that its about 3000 ft up there no fucking way you'd need to be made of some hardy stuff to go up there, or as you say just fucking bonkers. I went up the Montparnasse Tower in Paris earlier this year and I needed a drink by the time I got back down.

The balcony at Manchester Palace was enough to do my head in - I just wanted to jump into the open space in front of me - mind you I suppose I'd only do it once.

At the interval I went to the bar sank three bottles of brown ale and viewed the rest of the show from a standing area at the back of the balcony.

yeah i think i was higher once!

i remember going up Blackpool tower as a kid in probo late 80's, all the way to the top, my brother had his photo took sat on the edge with chicken wire the only thing holding him on. I just looked over the edge and that was me done.

I get a horrible feeling if i look over the stairs at work and it's only 3 floors.
