Looks like someone accidentally dropped a castle on a new school wing.

I'll wait for the final building though...

I can never fully understand how a normal person can generate the huge sums of cash needed to fund these things. Maybe i need to work harder, or sell some body parts.

Always good telly this :-)

He doesn't need a bright yellow hat to make him look like a prick.

I would so like to push him off that hill.


I would love to see a different presenter on the programme, that way I think I could be able to watch a whole episode.

Ah well, back to the footy

Yes - 2 years ago. But it didnt mention the size.

went out to 7 or 8 contractors and only 2 came back with even a price. Client's funding doesnt seem like a problem, can't help but wonder what put them all off scratchchin

Tonight's programme was delayed as he was in hospital in France and couldn't do the voice-over pieces. Guess he must have recovered somewhat.
