Yet again, I wonder exactly why I left my lego in the hands of my father (ostensibly for teaching purposes - aye right): Man builds "the village" from The Prisoner using Denmark's second-favourite export*

I've actually been there, incidentally - Portmeirion, I mean - an entire community built by one guy who had a bit of a penchant for Italy, but no sense of scale. Or perhaps he did, and he was just a bit barmy. Either way, it's a beautifully weird place.

I think the limit of my lego architectural exploits involved the bunker in Return of the Jedi. In fairness, though, it was about 15 years before Star Wars lego turned up.

This too, is impressive, if a little disturbing: The Lego concentration camp (I've linked it before, but it warrants a second look, especially now Bush has been warned Guantanamo and the trials taking place there are completely illegal).

Right, I'm off to bemoan the lack of football and basic human decency in bankers.
