Dazzling makeover of 90-year-old Spanish lighthouse divides opinion

In olden days, people would have said that painting was very gay....

Well, the structure is pretty phallic....

I wonder how My Lords' Commissioners are going to describe the new paint colours ?

Most of them would need a defib when they first see it ?

Or indeed if they saw the artist!

Patterned. Anyway as its job is at night, it doesn't really matter? ?

Given the time and resources that it would have taken, there must have been a reason behind painting it thus. So the question remains: why?

You could read the article I linked in the first post to find out!

I missed that it was a link; it wasn't in gaudy, luminous or flashing colours. Thanks.

the artist pointed out that he had no control over people’s response to his work, he said: “At least it hasn’t left anyone feeling indifferent.”

There is a lot to say for indifference; it doesn't make anyone feel disenfranchised. Policing of two opposing protests would be safe too, if the participants were indifferent. So, yeah, let's have a big cheer for indifference... please yourselves then. ?

Meh. I can't be bothered.

Daymark or Dayglow mark?

That would certainly upset the Visiting Committee.

My first thought. One of my favourite questions to YM candidates is ‘How can you identify a lighthouse by day?’ to see if they know about how lights are described in the almanac and the lists of lights.

Brilliant. Reminds me of my migraine, but I like it.

"OK, candidate, which lighthouse is this?"
"That'll be the Eddystone - distinctly post-modern, with a dash of surrealism in the upper half."
"Nope. It's Longships - don't you know cubism when you see it?"

Are you accusing me of being a homophobe? I hope not because that would be so ferricadooza and shonk me heart to get me in a right two and eight. But you turn my oyster up, you do, any way nanti that, I am no homo, girl.
