This is the worst.

Hey look man, ever since #metoo destroyed everything and social media became the judge jury and executioner, the only way that people can reliably date is if they check themselves into a psych ward so they can meet a woman they share something in common with.
 
Not sure where this should go, so I'll play it safe and just call it cursed. :roll:

Being fat and old doesn't enhance your attractiveness.
Put the fork down lose some weight and learn to be a decent woman with qualitys that help a relationship. Like knowing how to cook and clean. Also learn to smile more
 
Elsewhere in London, Charing Cross station used to look like this:

That version got bombed to shit during the blitz, so in the 1950s they replaced it with this:

Not exactly pretty, but it's not offensive I guess. It looks like a train station at least. But in 1986, they decided to rebuild it again and spend a vast amount of money on a new architectural marvel. Hooray! What they built though was this:

What the fuck even is this thing? According to the architects, it's supposed to look like "a train coming out of a tunnel". Nigga what? I can't even work out which bit's supposed to be the tunnel, because it has two huge arches. Is the front arch meant to be the train and the back arch the tunnel? Is that ugly round green glass thing supposed to be a train? Is any of that random concrete under it supposed to be part of the train? What kind of fucking trains have you been looking at, and what were you on when you looked at them? What the fuck are those buttress-type-things at the side? Are those meant to be train and/or tunnel bits too? The whole thing is just so incoherent. Especially visible from the aerial shots is just how relentlessly out of place it is amongst the surrounding architecture. It's literally next door to the Palace of Westminster (home to the UK parliament) and its amazing Victorian gothic architecture. If you want to fit in with the Houses of Parliament, you could have gone nuts building a neo-gothic train cathedral, but no, we got a "train coming out of a tunnel" as envisaged by a 7-year-old boy with Downs trying to build it out of Duplo while high on shrooms.

Fuck.
Looks like they were going for the SIS Building style (MI6 fame). I have no idea what this architectural style is called. but it seems to have died by the end of the 1990s:
