Unfortunately all these new "no smoking in the grounds" rules have turned it into a refuge for our office smokers who shamefully sit on the steps stinking the place out and drop their butts on and around it. Also turn some of the bus shelters on South Gyle crescent into no-go areas when it's cold/wet/windy. </p> <p>I've raised it with our facilities people and they're in a bit of a bind - there are plenty signs up all around our office and grounds saying where you can and can't smoke and they're largely ignored, but we can at least enforce it there. The directors standing infront of the NO SMOKING signs just outside the back door having a cigarette don't really help. The Paolozzi is public pavement so there's nothing we can do. I did make a complaint to council last summer and some wardens did appear and hand out a few spot notices. But it's soon forgotten about.</p> <p>Harrumph. Sack the lot of them I say. I don't get 8 daily paid cycling breaks whenever I fancy one to feed my addiction - why should the smokers? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5672#post-60703 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 22:44:10 +0000 chdot 60703@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edinburgh_King's_Building_Sculpture.jpg"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f7/Edinburgh_King%27s_Building_Sculpture.jpg"><br /> </a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5672#post-60702 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 22:39:03 +0000 amir 60702@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's a couple just outside the Darwin building at KB </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5672#post-60700 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 22:36:53 +0000 chdot 60700@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/1659148605/"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2254/1659148605_380bee1a17.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/1659148605/">Paolozzi @ RBS South Gyle</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5672#post-60699 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 22:34:45 +0000 kaputnik 60699@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's a massive piece outside my work at the Gyle, with an Einstein quote on the side called The Wealth of Nations. The largely nationalised financial services institution I work for was obviously a fan. When I first joined there was masses of prints and a few originals all over our building. I think those adorning the walls of the canteen were largely lost on the pie-and-chip eating population. They've mostly disappeared now, I guess either sold off or lent out as part of the art-lending charm offensive. We've got lousy corporate posters up now instead. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5672#post-60698 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 22:30:29 +0000 chdot 60698@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/1659993736/"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2170/1659993736_af1cdcebc5.jpg"></a></p> <p>Eduardo Paolozzi is probably the most famous artist born in Edinburgh.
