Grand Designs tonight

[directoroflegacy]

Anyone watching Grand Designs?
So who is Sean Simons Irish actor/singer, done theatre.
My DH (Irish) doesn't know him , fair enough.
But I googled him and nada, nothing.
How is that possible in this day and age?
It's bugging me!!

Ooh... well done for starting the thread. I came on thinking nobody else was watching.

Kev is definitely having trouble keeping a straight face with this one!

He must have been made a bit of cash somewhere along the line

No drawings is a big no no.

he is taking a bit of a kamikaze approach isnt he? he is getting on my tits to be honest.

He's getting on Kevin's nerves too.....love his fake smiles!

Do they have different planning laws in Ireland?
Surely you need drawings for planning permission?

I like his spirit.

I think Kevin has given up trying not to laugh!!

I'm watching this and madly googling and I can't find this dude - he's clearly got more money than sense, but he must have done something financially productive if a bank is loaning him over ?1million

He sounds like a small child making up his fantasy castle.
Then we'll have water cannons
And a swimming pool
And ponies
And fairies

Love the jacuzzi in the turret. The guy is clearly bonkers. Do you think it will get finished?

I am not sure the turret will support a few tonnes of jacuzzi

Is anyone pregnant yet?

This guy is such a joker, he's gone way past kamikaze spirit and is now just deluded. He is seeming to delight in saying provocative things and then challenging himself to his way out.

Ooh he's really quite annoying!!

"it's my castle....!"

Seems like a major fall out.... wonder what we didn't get to see!

He is very entertaining! Hope the castle is more designer than disney!

We haven't got to the shot of heavy rain with Kevin's sombre voiceover saying of a delay in the schedule!!

I am horribly snobbish about people who say things like "double D knockers" about door furniture. Hilarious for a 5 year old.

Ah, what a shame, I was looking forward to seeing it finished.

oh bugger. i wanted to see it finished too. i think potentially it could have been rather nice - i was wary at first as he seemed like a bit of a knob but i think i changed my mind.

My mum and I saw Sean Simon on a UK tour of the musical Are you lonesome tonight? circa 1987. He played young Elvis.

He also played Ramases II in a school's programme and was in a drama-documentary about a spy who escaped back to Russia during the cold war.

My mum phoned me up to remind me about all of this and to tell me to watch Grand Designs.
