These guys take great pleasure in mocking the Ripper walks (especially seeing as one of the murder sites is now a multi-story car-park)

Now he's 'retiring' Moore should do a ripper walk, that would be cool... all scary hair and cane and rings and Northampton accent. Actually a Northampton one would be good!

One of my friends is currently doing some work there. Apparently to those that are working on it, the building is known colloquially by the name of certain sort of fetish equipment that ends in the letters '....plug'.

Pah, the cucumber building is brilliant, like a weird alien thing from the future looming over the city. Oh and I cna see it on the skyline from right up in Belsize park, which totally rocks ass.

Your friend is obviously not that familiar with fetish equipment, because Lord Foster's Erotic Gerkhin is entirely flangeless.
