Nice to see Bernie Ecclestone moving beyond F1 to project management though.......

The bedroom section looked like a hotel from the plan.

Or a prison, with cells. All next to one another, all identical and facing a corridor and windows.

Did you see the glasses on the architect? A candidate for the 'Never get tired of punching in the face' thread if ever there was one.

Strange guy, reminds me of the Hood from Thunderbirds.

One on my mates has just started a project with them. When he makes some real progress I might post some pics. As I understand it, the money offer is conditional on a successful project and transmission.

No budget for the build seems a touch inaccurate!

Perhaps he should pop out to Syria, first world problems and all that

He's coming across like a spoilt tosser.

I can understand people doing these projects in they'd won the lottery or earn £5M/yr, but to take them on such uncertain costs when money is tight (or non-existent) seems unbelievably insane.

[Megaflow]

£850k for the plot, £1.1m for the build and counting.

Do we reckon he is going to get any change from 3 mil?

I'm going for a few pence.

There's a very modern house near us that has been for sale for three years, they look good in magazines but I am not sure there is a huge market for them.
