I love this part;

But what is the view? The Manhattan skyline? The beautiful vistas of Rome? The dramatic harbour view of Hong Kong?

Nope. It's Birmingham. I think I'd tend to keep the curtains closed.

Thats them buggered for the council tax review.

I liked the comments from the muppet buyers:

It's got the X factor; it's iconic; it's THE address in Birmingham
What??
It's the landmark of Birmingham - apart from Spaghetti Junction."
Fair enough, set your sights low.....

I remember seeing a clip of Telly Savalas (of Kojak fame) advertising beautiful Birmingham on behalf of the town council. I've been there and I think he may have mis-spoke, complete dump would be more accurate. Hey ho, a fool and their money etc....

Yes its a good film! They start out all cocky - but the doom monger, Ripley warns not to be complacent. The hardcore soldiers learn the hard way. The play video is better than play sound. Ironic.

Just to note http://www.claremontgroup.co.uk/pages/data...e.htm&id=79

No news from the claremont group since 2005.

Keeping with the Aliens theme there is a solution to the concrete blight known as Birmingham..."nuke the entire site from orbit" :lol:

At least the colony on LV426 had a "substantial dollar value". :blink:

We are talking about an actor who agreed to appear in "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure". Clearly Mr. Savalas (or his agent) will take on any job if the money is right.

Didn't Michael Caine once say something in an interview about one of movies along the lines of 'oh yes, it was a horrible movie, but it paid for a lovely house'?

I think that it was "Jaws: The Revenge" that prompted that comment.

Caine famously said "I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."

I'm sure he said something along the lines of "Sometimes you need to do third-class movies to maintain a first-class lifestyle".

I'm afraid to say Mr.Savalas won't be taking on any more jobs , as he departed this world 14 years ago .......

Rotunda flats sold for £25mSep 19 2005

MORE than half of the apartments in Birmingham's Rotunda have been snapped up by a property investment company for £25 million - a month before they go on sale to the public.

Edgbaston-based Claremont Group has bought 140 of the 232 apartments on ten floors of the landmark Grade II listed building from developer Urban Splash.

They include city-pads, priced from under £150,000; one and two bedroom apartments, and six penthouses on the 20th floor, which will cost more than £500,000 each.

Cough cough splutter splutter

Urban Splash :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

That'd be named after the piss-ridden elevators in the building.....nice way to come home to your penthouse of an evening!!
