I saw some on Kirsty and Phil's prog and was impressed. I mentioned to Mrs HD that the last time I parked a car outside one of those, a TV landed on the bonnet just as I walked away, well it WAS a police car.Hogdayafternoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188146617570775741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434417594974826136.post-33331983024909934162009-09-16T10:49:02.571+01:002009-09-16T10:49:02.571+01:00Oi I live in a council flat!

I have my eye on a fantastic modern glass and steel seaside house which is shaped to look like the bow of a ship. The "front" windows on each floor are floor-to-ceiling. It's guaranteed to be underwater within fifty years but what the hey?!Old BEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974090439936326476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434417594974826136.post-68671182962832792182009-09-16T10:12:22.186+01:002009-09-16T10:12:22.186+01:00Blue: Poor old Detroit.
