So you've spent half a billion pounds on your purchase. What would you do with it? It's a listed building, so you're unlikely to be allowed to demolish it or do anything that would substantially alter its appearance, but it comes with extensive grounds in a prime location.

phat raves and a fuckoff flat in the upper floors, a garden, swimming pool, LAN facilities and then get some leftie organisations to run a kindergarten and art/culture/education stuff

and a balcony so I can look down on the common man

Someone used to run clubs in some of the outbuildings. A place called Adrenaline Village.

The notorious Club Whiplash used to run there (with police evidence stickers proudly displayed on their dungeon equipment)

Since everything I have read about heritage buildings in the UK indicates that they are a hellish situation to be in, i'm thinking accidentally-on-purpose burn it down and build something useful*. Failing that turn it into an arena for paintball.

*This power station isn't familiar to me so unlike that real estate agent (lol) I have no emotional attachment to it. Incidentally burning the place down probably wouldn't solve the problem, http://www.examiner.com.au/news/loca...e/2247868.aspx has been sticking around like a sore for years.

NO!

Oh the Irish gov owns/controls that. The NAMA agency controls the assets of the retarded Irish developers who bought the thing with loans from our even more retarded banks. Can't remember what our developers were planning to do with it though.

[56k Lagman]

Probably something awesome

[Paradox]

I'd turn it into a giant doom fortress of course, cover it in barbed wire and tank traps. What would YOU do with it?

[Amantus]

put a hench soundsystem in it

Turn it into the world largest Urban paint ball arena.

Without the leftie shit the common man will be to far away, and that would make looking down on them hard. "looking out at the common man" just doesn't have the same ring to it, it also gives you an angle to take (more?)money from the common man.

Needs more zombie apocolipse fortifications and heavy machinegun emplacments.. But yeah, p.much this.
