This came up on my Twitter this morning:

Despite a campaign to save it, Birmingham's Ringway Centre seems doomed to demolition, to be replaced by a modern block. It was bad enough that we lost the old Bullring to a could-be-anywhere mall. The shops under Ringway and the surrounding area were a big part of my younger days. I fondly remember walking these streets at 2am, after seeing Love/Hate at Goldwyn's.

Ha, that was after my time. And not somewhere I'd have gone anyway!

How can the Co-Op Arena be SUCH a shitshow?!
Keane show is off, and now Take That are walking away (five dates!) as a precaution.

Sounds like the Co-Op are providing a valuable public service.
