Picture if you will the sight of a 36-year-old man reduced to the state of a child on Christmas morning by the excitement of walking into a half-finished building and seeing a load of scaffolding and plasterboard walls. \u00a0For that, dear reader, is what has become of your esteemed correspondent. \u00a0As if getting to see inside the new Metropolitan College<\/a> last week wasn’t enough, this week the Dock Chaplains were part of a hard-hat tour group given an in-depth walk through the new Titanic Belfast visitor centre.<\/p>\n

Just to set the excitement of this event in context, and hopefully make me look not-quite-so-weird, the emergence of Titanic Belfast from hole in the ground, to skeleton, to cladding-padded outline, to stunning visitor centre has been one of the big stories constantly turning its pages behind the scenes, just out of shot, throughout my time in the TQ. \u00a0How’s this for a before and after – 2010:<\/p>\n
