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.

The UK makes a conceited effort to fulfil every dystopian novel set there.

The husband being older has been the norm in every country. In every culture. Since civilisation began.

Thank fuck I'm neither starting a family in my early 20s, nor likely to have tardbabies because my wife is in her late 30s.

It's usually better to have kids when you're younger, though.

Not from a financial or a life experience point of view, and biologically men don't start having troubles until later in their life than women.

I wasn't ready to be a good father at 22. I'm significantly less retarded now.

There's no real set date for men, it's really up to the individual.

It's not just biological factors, it's societal as well. The cultural generation gap is only widening, making things hard for older parents.

Heh, the mark of every golden age is the ability for young people to reproduce early and form families. The mark of a crisis is the opposite.

I dunno, people whelp pretty young during dark ages and in shithole countries. Having the husband be older than the wife is a pretty decent paradigm for creating healthy children with at least one parent who has a little wisdom to impart. It's been consistently popular throughout civilized cultures for good reason.
