Wow! A view of the Hussey Tower

Boston Eye's waffle of the week award goes to Boston College principal Sue Daley.
Talking of a £79 million plan for a new "state-of-the-art" campus, she says: "We don't just want an iconic building. We want a college which values and enriches its local communities and businesses and which encourages them to be ambitious, fulfilled and successful."
We hope that means something a little more ambitious in the courses and qualifications currently offered, as they are pretty low brow to say the least.
The college is looking to the Learning and Skills Council for funding to the tune of around £60 million, and the building will have distinctive features such as waves, bubbles and "ship's spars" to acknowledge the town's maritime heritage. Not even approved, and already it sounds like a triumph of style over substance.
If it goes ahead it will feature a rooftop restaurant with views of two of what the Boston Target calls Boston's great landmarks – the Stump (no argument from us there) and Hussey Tower (is that the best we can do?)
A glass-fronted shopping mall-style building in the grounds of the Skirbeck Road campus will include shops run by students – such as a salon for the hair and beauty department.
Principal Daley says: "We want to provide our students with hi-tech cutting-edge technology."
New scissors all round for the hairdressing class then?
