Modern Sculpture in Accy

Has anyone noticed the "sculpture" outside the Acorn Health Centre on Blackburn Road? It looks like a childrens' playground designed by Henry Moore. Certainly, no one would have the inclination or strength to steal it. :)

This should be interesting....they were 'unloading' it on tuesday when I went past. I suspect what we have seen is the complete sculpture(s).

Re: Modern Sculpture in Accy

Thank you for the offer, but I'll wait until I see a pic of it before I decide whether or not I want to be introduced to this 'ere sculpture! As for introducing you to footy, as my previous attempts at conversion have been spectacularly unsuccessful (Mrs H disappeared into the bar at halftime and refused to come out again the one time I took her...took an old schoolmate of mine along to see his first ever match about a year ago and I've never heard from him again), I'm afraid I shall have to pass on that one!

Can't understand why women like this game anyway >>>>>>>> better go now before HR sees it. :eek:
