I LOVE BIRMINGHAM

Some people think Birmingham is all concrete and no trees or grass - they couldn't be more wrong.  And we have more miles of canals than Venice!  Take a look and see for yourself.

Council House/Victoria Square - the fondly named Floosie in the Jacuzzi in the background (no, not the foreground!) (See also this Brummie Baywatch clip)

Colmore Row

Floosie from the top of the steps - looking down towards New Street (where all the shops are)

St Phillips Square - just off Colmore Row

Bolton, Watt and Murdock statue outside the Registrar Office on Broad Street (also known as 'Men Arguing Over the Size of Recent Electricity Bill') Incidentally, these men have either run off in the night or somebody's nicked them cos the podium has been empty since Summer 2003 - if you know of their whereabouts please contact Birmingham City Council.

My man - an unnamed man made of bronze on the steps outside the Main Library (walk past him every day and say "Hi, mate" - makes me look a complete idiot but I have to do it!)

On the bridge from the Library looking towards Centenary Square towards the Birmingham Rep and the Symphony Hall

Brindley Place (the blue sign in front says "Do not go in the water" ... yeah, right!
