Property Snakes and Ladders; 2009

I caught a snippet of the reveal sequence on HFL last week. They had stuck a load of nasty mirrors at right angles to eachother all over the living room wall. It looked rotten. I think George's Home Show on Channel 4 does the same job as this programme but slightly better.

Although do my ears deceive me or is that Feist I can hear in the background? No one does sound beds like the BBC. I might just stay tuned....

seven day weekend, your home looks charming.

Oh my days its the Quantic Soul Orchestra now. This is like a journey through my favourite songs...

I've got it on. . . it's not doing anything for me though.

Except this bit - container city - I'd live in a place like that ... if it were my land/my container/s, not part of a block with others.

I'm watching but I'm finding the two presenters' voices so dull, and the things they say are quite annoying. But then I'm not a very creative or arty type, I must admit.

I am looking forward to the end results though.

Yes, annoying/dull voices ... I'm not creative either.

Ah, here we go. The budget is being blown. Typical ...

I AM a very creative and arty type and I think the things they say are quite annoying too.

LOL, I score a medium on creativity and I find THEM annoying, but like the things they are showing as influences. Where I think it wins over the more tv friendly architect on channel four is that these homes feel more personal. But yeah, they sound like a grandad aftersunday lunch.

Yeah, the aesthetics are not such a one-size-fits-all solution.

I want that parquet floor.

I want that child who says "but Mummy - I want to wash up - its useful"

I want that studio in the garden.
