Dalston-Dubai

An article in the guardian last week showcased the new velodrome being built for the Olympics in East London. Why the need to name these beauties after objects? I've been away for a while now, but my visiting friend told me that Londoners now have not only the 'Gherkin' but the 'Cheese grater' and the 'Phillishave'

Anyway, I think the new 'Pringle' velodrom is awesome and a brilliant new addition to the Olympic buildings. Apparently inspired by the tautness and energy of cycle racing, I can't wait to see it for real.
