haha yeah

the TV program Grand Designs is good too,

nah grand designs is shit imo

always ruined by a silly wife thinking shes an interior designer

(tbf i have been entertained)

Kevin McCloud is a don

I like the ending of grand designs when I can see the cotch they've made, otherwise it's just rich white folk complaining about their amazing house.

some woman bought 2 cooker hoods that cost £6k each, and then she was moaning when they arrived, saying it was the worst day of her life... smh

haha yeah thats it, they annoy me too much. the end is cool tho

tbf they're not even super rich, like it would be sick to actually do it yourself when you're 30 ish

some of them get sick house for around 400k

Seen some absolutely sick ones for like £110k. Saw this one where the couple were friends with an architect, then it come up that the husband had died then after that, you could blatantly tell the widow was petting the architects serpent from then on.

Big up Birmingham Council, taking down old "ugly" buildings and replacing them with uglier-but-shiny new buildings.
