Anarchy in the UK
Apr. 27th, 2005 08:58 amFor the last year or so, I've been threatening to write a fiendishly complicated programming langugage called Fnord, but I've never quite got round to it. During recent background research into fnords, I've discovered that I might have been subliminally indoctinated by the writing on the wall.
Sadly, the Wikipedia article doesn't mention the sad decline of Anarchy Bridge from it's heyday in the late 80s. A few years back, when the old rail yard was redeveloped into a retail park, two thirds of the old bridge was pulled down and replaced by a cheeky little suspension number. Thanks to the rumoured reluctance of Railtrack to spend any money on the bridge over their property, the first third of the original was retained for posterity, but somehow it's just not the same.
