Who lives in a house like this?
While the outlook remains gloomy for much of Britain's property market, here's a house that should brighten things up.
James May's colourful Lego home, complete with a fully plumbed Lego loo, bath and giant bed, is finally taking shape.
If building work goes to plan, it will be the world's first full-size house made entirely from Lego - and the Top Gear presenter has promised to live in it.
The house, which started being built on the Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey on August 1, is due to be completed at the end of this week.
The TV presenter said: 'I'm planning to stay there for two or three days, or until it falls down - whichever is sooner. I'm pretty relaxed about it, but will just have to be careful moving around.
'If I wake up buried under a pile of bricks, I'll know it's gone wrong.
Speaking from the vineyard, Mr May said: 'The idea first came up over a beer, when we were talking about what we would have built as kids if we had enough Lego.
'Your imagination is always bigger than your stockpile when you're a kid.
'Up until now, the largest thing I've ever built with Lego was probably a plane or a battleship, because that was all I could build with the amount I had.'
Over two million Lego bricks have been used so far.

Tiger Wouldn't Do That
On the first night of their honeymoon, the new bride tells her husband, "I have a confession to make. I'm not a virgin. I've been with one other guy."
"Oh yeah? Who was the guy?"; "Tiger Woods, the golfer."; "Well, he's rich, famous and handsome. I can understand that."
The couple then make passionate love. When they finish, the husband gets up and walks to the telephone. "What are you doing?" asks the wife. "I'm hungry, I'm calling room service."
"Tiger wouldn't do that."; "Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"; "He'd come back to bed and do it a second time."
The husband drops the phone and makes love to his wife a second time. When they finish, he goes back to the phone. "What are you doing now?" she asks. "I'm still hungry, so I'm going to ring room service for some food."
"Tiger wouldn't do that."; "Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"; "He'd come back to bed and do it one more time."
The husband puts the phone down and heads back to bed. Exhausted after the third love making session, he shuffles back to the phone and starts to dial. The wife asks, "Are you calling room service?"
"No! I'm calling Tiger Woods to find out what's par for this hole!"

Italians Aren’t Kosher
Julia comes from an incredibly religious, Jewish family. During a radio program she conned her unwitting parents to call in and then, on air, convinced them she had started dating this very Catholic Italian guy she had met at school. Within seconds the air waves were bathed a flurry of yiddish insults and one of the most absurdly stereotypical Jewish family arguments.

The Woman with Two Vaginas
Suffering periods that lasted up to 21 days and finding sex difficult, Lauren Williams knew that something was wrong.
The 28-year-old from Chingford, Essex, UK, was stunned to discover she had been born with a rare medical condition, which left her with two vaginas, two wombs and two cervixes.
In her early twenties, Lauren could never have guessed the reason why she found some sexual positions uncomfortable, "I just presumed I must have a short vagina."
It was only when she went for a smear test at 24 that she was alerted to the fact that she could have a medical problem. Lauren explains: "I'd had smear tests done before but they were all with nurses. This time I saw a doctor who said that something didn't look quite right down there and referred me to a gynaecologist."
The gynaecologist diagnosed Lauren with a bicornuate uterus, which meant that it had a septum down the middle giving it the shape of a heart. But is was only when they started her operation that they'd realised they had got the prognosis wrong. "I didn't have a bicornuate uterus after all. I actually had two of everything. Two uteruses, two cervixes and two vaginas. I was shocked. I'd never noticed that I had two vaginas and none of my previous boyfriends had either. Even the doctor said he'd never seen anything like it before."
Lauren has now been able to lead a normal life. "Having two of everything doesn't bother me. I find it quite amusing and don't mind telling people about it."

Russian tycoon buys a yacht to Eclipse all others
Roman Abramovich, owner of Chelsea Football Club, is now the proud owner of the world's most expensive private yacht, the Eclipse. Costing €340 million ($590 million) it has many original features, including a German-built missile defence system.
The yacht has 11 guest cabins, two swimming pools and a disco hall, the Germany newspaper Bild reported, adding that the windows in Mr Abramovich's master suite were fitted with bullet-proof glass. The mini-submarine is capable of submerging to 50 metres.

Nearly 170 metres long, it is bigger than Mr Abramovich's other three mega-yachts - and is 11 metres longer than the world's previous biggest yacht, which belongs to Sheikh Mohammed, the ruler of Dubai. Maintaining the Eclipse is not going to be cheap. Annual costs are likely to exceed $60 million. About 70 crew are needed to run the yacht, including a captain, stewards, and an electrician - as well as someone to serve the drinks and sweep the sundeck.

£15,000 for a Haircut
Not a problem for the Sultan of Brunei .....
The Sultan of Brunei is said to have paid £15,000 to get a London barber to trim his hair in what is believed to be the most expensive haircut ever.
He hired a private suite on a Singapore Airlines flight to carry Ken Modestou, who runs a barber’s at the Dorchester hotel in Mayfair, the 7,000 miles to his home to attend to his hair.
The sultan is believed to have ordered the special cabin to ensure the barber was isolated from possible swine flu among other passengers.
The 63-year-old, who is one of the world's richest men with a £12billion fortune, also paid for Mr Modestou's accommodation for a few nights and gave him several thousand dollars in payment.
Back in London, the barber charges just £30 for a cut.

Burger so Spicy it carries a Health Warning
Sri Lanka, Korea, Bangladesh, Thailand . . . Brighton, UK.
In the battle for the spiciest cuisine, there is a new and unusual contender. A Brighton takeaway has created a burger so spicy, staff refuse to accept responsibility for what happens to customers who eat it.
Customers have to sign a legal disclaimer saying they will not sue before they can take their first bite.
Owner Nick Gambodella, 50, of Queens Park, Brighton, thinks he has created the world's hottest burger. “I have seen people bet £1,000 that they could eat the whole thing and only managed a couple of bites.”
The snack is made using a secret recipe and features the hottest chillies he can get his hands on. The secret sauce is smothered on to the meat before cooking.
But the seriously hot chillies are no joke and Nick says they have sent several customers to hospital. “One guy had to spend two and a half days in hospital after eating it.”
“He had a stomach ulcer he didn't tell us about and could have died.” Nick claims his notorious burger is six times hotter than the world's hottest pepper, the nagga jolokia(COR), and three times spicier than police issue pepper spray.
“No one who has tasted it would ever try it again,” said Nick, who refuses to taste his creation because he knows how “nasty” it is.
