For those who’ve been patiently awaiting more articles of some degree of depth and intellect on my blog, I’m afraid I’ve been too busy of late with ‘real’ work to knock together fresh fodder purely for your selfish entertainment. But don’t worry, that situation was unique and unlikely to repeat itself, so as we thunder towards the weekend brace yourself for a sudden entry at any time. I’m not sure what about yet. Although I have been annoyed at television a lot of late, so that’s as good a target as any.

Openly bored out of his fucking Feng Shui tree, Kevin McCloud tours a series of housing designs cobbled together by real people with realistic budgets, yawning aloud, constantly mumbling ‘For fuck’s sake…’ and getting genuinely angry with what proles think constitutes architecture and interior designs, before urinating freely over their meagre possessions and screaming directly into camera and clawing at his own eyes. This week Kev visits a housing estate in Liverpool.
