The Channel 4 wesite has a page listing the companies involved in builds on Grand Designs. This one is particularly useful, being about the underground house built in Cumbria.

Shopping Zen

I can’t remember whether I’ve mentioned it, but for the last few weeks I’ve been working with a few coursemates to create an Oxford Road version of Monopoly. I walked into WH Smiths today and found this-

How It Works – the Computer – – we try not to remember the dark days before computers, broadband and all things techy. It’s just too scary. (Although the dark days before broadband was only the day before yesterday.

Fuck the South – a less polite version of Sorry Everybody. I’ve been less convinced about the idea of ‘red’ and ‘blue’ states (fyi Red = Republican, Blue = Democrat) since seeing these maps, particularly the purple one halfway down.

And finally, the one that has entertained me most this morning – How to turn your wife into a house cleaning machine.

“I’ve lived in five different homes with five different wives and I assure you, those houses were spotless,” gloats Dr. Francois Tayler, of Seattle, Wash.

No explanation about what happened to the previous four wives. I’m voting for big divorce settlements or jail for attempted murder.
