I guess that backs up the Mythbusters' result that an awning on a building could save you from a fall.

I was going to ask if the kitchenette and shower area are in fact the one place, to judge from the accompanying photo, but I'm scared to find out. And there's a bed there somewhere too, yeah? Did someone actually live there till now?

Whoa...

11" by 7" would probably make a reasonable boxroom or study (I lived for 5 years in a bedroom about 8 by 7' (with a built-in fireplace blocking out one corner). But then I did have the rest of the (shared) house keep my stuff in, (and I had almost no possessions anyway). Plus, I wasn't paying a £1000 a month mortgage. Nor did I have to pay £30,000 on decorating...

I don't think it's currently occupied - I think it's where the caretaker hangs out when he's not caretaking and some enterprising management company has decided to pass it off as a flat. Perhaps I should look more closely at the development possibilities of my landing...

If you have a cupboard (like an airing cupboard) beside the landing you could use that as the en-suite! Or for the fold-away bed. (Is that what a Murphy bed is?)

I can't wait to see who buys it - because you know that someone will buy it - and what he does with the place.

Beer for dogs

Including the funniest long-haired chihuahua picture I've seen in a while.

And it's for human consumption, so if you're out of pisswater Coors Light and feeling especially desperate for a drink, you only have to fight your dog a swig.

Heineken is 53c a bottle in the US? Clearly I live in the wrong country.

It's really not. Maybe that's how much it costs in the Netherlands.

The estate agent (realtor to non Brits) was on tv and claimed 4 or 5 people have already put in offers on the place. Suckers!

Leggings: they're not just for women.

Duuuuude. Fashion designers must be on crack. That is the only explanation.

"Unconventional but sophisticated" = dorky and insane.

That's it. We have to go back in time to the '90s and stop this madness before it starts.

Re: Divorced couple's house divided by wall--I've always wanted to do that. We just celebrated our tenth anniversary--I love my husband dearly--but I've tried to convince him to share a duplex. He could have one half, I could have the other. We would both have our own space, and I don't have to clean up after him. Except I'd put a door in the dividing wall so we could visit.

He thinks it's a terrible idea.
