Okay, I'll admit it: I often watch a UK TV cable/satellite channel called 'Dave'. It has endless re-runs of Mock the Week, Top Gear and all sorts of stuff that might go under the general header 'Lad's stuff'. I also adore 'Brainiac' (Richard Hammond presents, or did) and am a fan of most of the spin-off stuff the Top Gear presenters do. They are bright guys who can do more than just salivate over a Ferrari or power slide a Noble. But there are only so many hours in a day and I don't actually watch all that much TV, guv (honest).
I was, however, particularly intrigued by the tale of TG presenter James May's Lego house. I don't think I have ever seen May's 'Toy Stories' but building a full-size house out of Lego sounds like a reasonably daft and oddly uplifting idea.
But something has gone very wrong, in a typically British, brutally harsh, shot-in-the-foot and totally unforeseen unfolding cock-up sort of way. Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. They did actually compelete the Lego house, but it's a tragic tale. You'd think Legoland might have got involved in a positive PR story. For some reason it was built in a vinyard (Denbies) and they need the land back. Why build it there? You would also think it might have been built on some sort of modular platform - think about it, a Lego construction speciality - so that it could be easily transported when completed? Nope.
Oh well, it has had to be torn down. What a waste. I'd like to have seen it. And the low-life who nicked the cat? Capital punishment, I say.
