"…hosting a world-wide a archetecture comptetition to determine what
group could come up with the most wonderful design of a building where

Ah, finally we revisit that ever unmemorable voice of aesthetic,
developmental and sociological nonsense, the 3community news and its
authority on everything you ever wanted to know about nothing, the man
who would be king of his beloved little village DJ.
A world-wide competition, the worlds best architects (according to D
`Garp' J) all competing to knock your socks off and come up with DJ's
vision of world class.
Sounds great Tom; however, with you guys involved we would be better
off buying a pig in a poke.
