Lentils!

Errrrrrrrrrrm

[s.m.h.]

That bloody presenter cracks me up.
At the end of every show he gives the
"what we have here is the best of the best of eco friendly heat saving egg sucking tight arse skinflint house building. And I bow down to their efforts and ingenuity" when throughout the show he's seen to question their build.
I pity the camera men that had to stay around filming!

Boy will that place burn well!

Extra points if you spot a copy of the Guardian lying around anywhere

I was going to make a similar comment about the Guardian... on my MacBook Pro which is sitting on my lap as I watch the prog.

I'm being reminded of those shows where they demonstrate how early man built mud-huts etc. It could also be a guide on how to build your post apocalypse home.

personally i think this is very cool - though it might end up looking pig ugly, yet to find out. like the ethos behind it tho

One just has to pose the question; will this project be the victim of inflation?

Is it just me, but am I not seeing any services of any kind?

You know - electricity, *drainage*

Hippie - "We didn't want things coming out of the walls"

McLoud glances down at the shelf coming out of the wall...

[s.m.h.]

It'll look like a st hole so might as well smell like one too.....

I assumed all the holes in the wall were for candles etc to provide light, as for drainage, didn't the kid say you pee on the plants?

Tyres are a controlled waste.

I used to have to account for every tyre we changed and get, file and produce if required, transfer notes that proved that I have paid to have waste tyres taken away by an authorised company.

I was not even allowed to take the tyres to the disposal company as our garage did not have a licence to transfer or transport waste.

This fkin soap dodging hippy rocks up in a shed of a van and loads up FOC!

WTF?

So much for EU legislation
