Notre Dame 18:46 - Apr 15 with 24902 viewslondonlisa2001

Dreadful pictures emerging of what looks like a devastating fire at Notre Dame in Paris.

An awe inspiring cathedral. Hopefully it can be saved and the damage repaired.

It’s absolutely gut wrenching to see such beauty being destroyed.

It will certainly make them feel better than a moron saying “no biggie” don’t you think?

If ever there was an eyesore the Sagrada Famila must take the biscuit

You have the first half started in the late 19th Century in the Gaudi design. But now being completed in the more modern design

When it will be finished. God only knows

A right shambles

The Gaudi part always reminds me of a child playing on the beach making sand castles, then covering it with cockle shells

Just because a building was started in the 1880 or there about Totally mismanaged when being constructed and everything that went with building such a monstrosity. Doesn’t make it a fine architectural building

When the U.K. have such fine architectural buildings like St Paul’s with that fabulous dome, Westminster Abbey and York Minster. Sagrada Famila don't come into the reckoning

Ok fair enough.
Can you tell me please what is the most famous landmark in France that has more historical and culturural importance behind it than Notre Dame? The site goes back to Roman times.

And please don't say that lump of scrap iron known as the Eifel Tower.

The Catholic church aren't short.

Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.

Really?

It's a shame it's burnt down, as I said, but compare the hyperbole going on right now to the destruction of significant historical sites by IS, some holding works that dated back to 5000BC. There was nowhere near the outpouring we see today for some strange reason.

What a surprise in your quick answer

Considering I have asked you 4 times to comment on what Mervyn King wrote in the Times

Not a peep

But there, what do you expect from someone that don’t respect democracy

That was no accident

Macron was supposed to deliver a big speech to the nation tonight. That he had been working on for the last couple of months with regard to the yellow vest protests

What a way for whoever to silence him

Isn't it the case that a lot of the artwork there were actually reproductions, the originals being destroyed in the French Revolution?

How can insurance cover the cost of Christ’s thorny crown?

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
