    Yes, but you can't because they banned you for being a troll. Get over it.

    No they ban anyone who doesn't doesn't agree with message the Mods want to put out.

    I have a mind of my own. I'm a leader not a follower like yourself.

    Yikes, looks a right mess doesn’t it. That’s knackered. I’ve seen a lot of weird ones over the years and that’s right up there in the top 20. I like the white W shaped poles holding it up about a third the way up. So it would probably fall down without them, tee hee, oh dear. And half way up the bit poking out over the side. Just looks like a total mistake, like something’s gone dreadfully wrong. Designed by someone in Broadmoor. Hilarious. Mental.

    I really don't understand how anyone could justify spending that sort of money on a house. How could you be so inhuman as to not feel guilty at living in such a ridiculously extravagent house when people within a few miles are in desperate need for basic human needs? I actually find it utterly, utterly immoral.

    :rotfl:

    Daily Mail has more on this, including a graphic on how the interior of building is set out for different purposes.
    Mr Ambani, 53, who owns much of oil, retail and bio-technology comglomerate Reliance Industries, paid £44million to build his dream property, but astronomical property values in the Indian city mean it is now worth 15 times that amount.

  • He's welcome to it - revolting place!
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
  • It's hideous and looks ridiculous.
    It sticks out on the landscape like a gangrenous sore thumb.
    Worth all that money or not that's not a home and certainly not nice for surrounding residents to have to live with.
