My floor has polished concrete and it looks awesome, everyone should just copy me. But yeah that list is rather limiting, I guess there's always regular old dirt ground?

Extremely so, I tend to cover it up with a big rug which probably defeats the purpose of it, it's worth it but possibly excels during summer. My place is pretty small so floorspace is minimal to begin with, so it helps with the freezing feet.

that's what i thought, and i didn't think about it being cool in Summer. who needs a fan when you can lie on the slab? ;)

You have no idea how accurate your statement is, although actually I attempted sleeping on it just a few freezing nights ago.

you sound like me, hahaha. i'm a bit of a gypsy when it comes to beds, as long as i have a pillow i'm good, and definitely a blanket when it's cold
 
Well a later slot is what we've all wanted for years, and a lead in from The Block is probably the best lead in Nine could give it. I think as everyone says though the problem is 2 hrs+ (likely to end up closer to 3 hrs due to daily over runs) is a big ask - if each show was half an hour it would be fine, but it's a big ask to get viewers to watch one show for an hour every night, never mind two back to back.

OK OK. :rage: ;)

Seems it was at the recessed entrance just for the bluff that it was NINE's offices. Trouble is;

a). It's in a recessed entry, so camera angles are too shallow to really see it.
b). Unless I'm mistaken, it's the BB2012 colours (although NINE were still using it for interviews on Mornings in 2013).

Okay so my school is across the road from the Glasshouse and I walk passed it every day. A few months ago when the block people first arrived they just had heaps of promotional stuff out the front, like the 9 logo and posters of Big Brother and Big Bang Theory and stuff. And that's just the poster. If you walk by it you can still see remnants of the Block Shop they opened for a bit

Also, for what it's worth, the place is nowhere near completed so they haven't finished filming. Unless that's the Block's twist, idk.

I think that you should whole-heartedly apologise to that poor neglected post quick smart my friend!... once you have you need to go to your room and think about what you have done!!!!!... let this be a lesson to you!!!!...

You must be studying at NICA! or nmit ;)

Yeah the posters and stuff out the front were to trcik the contestants at the start to think that it was the actual Nine Network they were walking into.

In terms of the "nowhere near finished" the contestants have finished but there are contractors fitting out all of the sales spaces on the ground floor.
