long live the empire! - MrARPA, on 06/01/2009, -0/+3>Why does Dubai have to win everything!
Mecca is in Saudi Arabia, not Dubai ... but in response to the gist of your point having money is not the same as having class. - darzeecompany, on 06/01/2009, -2/+5Ben must have a hell of a case of Lyme disease by now.

- FOR3MAN, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1I did my first book report on Big Ben in like 1984. Keep on ticking ye old clock.
- etsboy1, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1Is this a photoshop? The London eye is close, but not that close.
- JAFFA, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1Indeed! And i applaud your pedantism (is that even a word?)... And do you know that the tower which houses the clock and the bell is called St Stephens Tower? ... Well you do now ;-)
- smitas, on 06/01/2009, -5/+6Congrats Big Ban.............:)

Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot... - bakerstreet05, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1a must see if you were in london or close
- Hellahulla, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1The original main bell would have been 153 years old, however the current one and the clock mechanism is 150 years old. So your nitpicking, while very correct, somehow leaves your comb empty.
- Qays, on 06/01/2009, -0/+1"But in terms of size it is easily beaten. The clockface on the top of the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool is bigger. Worldwide, it looks like a wrist-watch compared to the clock on the Abraj Al Bait Towers in Mecca whose face, when finished, will measure 80 metres to Big Ben’s puny 6.9 metres"
