| claudibee I will NOT!! Deleted  , United Kingdom | #1  Apr 15, 2009 @ 19:17:23I watched another repeat tonight, whilst ironing (I lead a highly moving and shaking life). I wish I had the imagination (not to mention the money) to build something so beautiful. Anybody else interested in architecture?  | ||||||

sister_of_mercy London, United Kingdom | #2 Apr 15, 2009 @ 19:27:23I'm not interested that much in architecture but for some reason I bloody love Grand Designs. Some of the houses that get built on that show are truly amazing, and that Kevin McCloud chap is rather funny too. | ||||||

| angelcake Perpetually pregnant Eastleigh, United Kingdom | #4 Apr 15, 2009 @ 19:36:56I love that programme! I would love to design my own house (with the help of an architect of course  ) I'd really love to do a self build too! | ||||||

| sister_of_mercy London, United Kingdom | #5 Apr 15, 2009 @ 20:30:41From a Grand Designs Facebook Group forum post: Play the Grand Designs Drinking Game! rules - open at least one bottle of wine and drink when: -Kevin points out a mistake in the design and is ultimately proved right at build phase. -Kevin helps out with a language barrier. -There's a dispute involving plans. -Weather Damage. -The house a- gets a roof and b- is water tight. -Windows don't fit. -Kevin compares their build to a commercial building (eg supermarket). -Every time someone talks about "Space" and "Integrity" in abstract terms. - I think you should add: -When he mentions a designers name or someone we have never heard of. Particularly of the Avant Garde or Bijoux variety. -When he drives his 4 wheel drive up a muddy lane. -When they have to dig a trench in the garden for no good reason. When he is wearing a North Face parka. -And every time the woman gets pregnant during the build... and everytime he builds up awsome comments about the building, and then procedes to knock it totally  I guess you'd have to really be in to it to see the humour but I think it's funny! | ||||||

I think it's hilarious  I don't spend my sundays watching Location, location, location and grand designs. | ||||||

Richard142 Greater London, United Kingdom | #11 May 23, 2009 @ 19:58:27I watched some back to back epsidoes of Grand Designs this evening over preparing and eating dinner. A recipy of inspiration, patience, and loads of money. Another art is to make one's more humble home a place you'd like to invite guests to. I'm not sure about simulations so I dream instead! | ||||||
