So,

You can take the piss out of RM but he has done a lot for Scottish Architecture.

He took the piss out himself when he knelt down in front of O'Donnell + Tuomey at the Stirling Prize Awards dinner and begged forgiveness from the whole of the Scottish nation when they awarded the prize to the Scottish Parliament....

God. I'd forgotten all about that Momus.
No doubt you're a pretty good looking bloke yourself ed?

Really? That's so... weird.

And RM is a man who loves his white render...

RM might be very arrogant but his practises architecture has affected a whole generation of Architects.

The only thing that makes GM a big architect is the size of his tummy!

GM+AD also have also been known to do white render architecture!

Don't actually think there's much in it, in the tummy stakes Ed, in fact we're all putting on the beef............ as we get older.

You seem to have it in for Gordon Ed, I've noticed a number of postings where you've made really quite detrimental personal remarks, don't know why that is myself ?

I agree with you I think Richard Murphy is a committed and talented architect, one of a number in Edinburgh but there's no need to be quite so personal surely, what has his weight got to do with anything?

and not that I really want to get into it, I mean vote for who you like.

Gargh! Not a looker among em!

I dont particularly care what Murphy is like as a person, i rather like his work. It suffers as it gets bigger, the fine detail doesnt translate, but with the right building he has a sensitivity that few architects in Scotland (if any) can match and whether he is arrogant or not his work has a lack of ego that some supposed big name architects would do well to learn from. He certainly got my vote.

I've been thinking about us and white render ed, the only project that I can recall where we've used it is at Edinburgh Park, where the pallette was alraedy set, is this what you mean?

well well..........outofchaosthebutlerdidit, why does your voting preference not surprise me at all.

Crusty, you've taken this too far, funny.......... but too far

Glad you have realised i am a man of taste and good judgement Mr Sock

don't quite get this, is it the taking of the "P" that's funny?

The judging panel makes up the list of awards and probably also the architect of the year from a shortlist.

As for the Awards, I'm furious that our low budget JKS Workshops in Clydebank are not also included in the best commercial category. Think it could have given the RBS a real run for it's millions.

Maybe that's why, they've also taken the "p"?

This was sent to me on Wednesday by a friend in the U.S.

Gay Community in Boston obviously knows a good building when it sees it too.
