I'd live in them if I was single, needed cheap accommodation and was about 20 years younger...

If it was $200 with the like's of free satellite tv, internet etc included then i'd say it is worth it. It isn't much bigger than a standard bedroom

Let's hope it's not one almighty scam. I've just looked at their marketing on the internet, hmm.....
What happens to waste water and sewage from these pods ? Septic tank ? So, back to the mobile home parks.
A mobile home must be more fit for purpose than a, 'pod'. How do you insulate or ventilate a metal box ?

I do!!
Right, time to go shopping for some miniskirts, non existent tops, fags and whisky and get started on this! I'm off to a good start- currently living in the meth capital of the USA
Just give me enough time to give birth to a child by one of a number of different men, some of which are close relatives and/or my best friends' boyfriends. Then the obligatory paternity test and punch up.
Yep, that is so me

Would your local accent be slurred by drugs and booze or because of where you come from ? Don't forget to put your make up on in the dark. Dress like a street corner hooker whose name is D'shondra. Look surprised that an adult is speaking to you and will actually listed to your reply !Oh, and you'll need to put the phrase, 'baby daddy' into the conversation.

Is that it ? It's all a bit, 'the emperors new clothes' isn't it ? A double layer of ballast filled containers as a with-holding wall at the foot of the cliffs at Redcliffs.
Then more containers as useable space in Christchurch as they are considered to be in fashion presently. Yes, I have see the advert for, 'Royal Wolf' shipping containers.
It's only a metal box. Have the mobile home parks at various sites around Christchurch been finished yet ? Y'know the ones that were being built to, 'ease' the housing crisis ? Really ? Who knew ?
Makes me wonder where all the money that's been spent is being spent. On pies for Gerry Brownlee by the look of it !

Made me spit my coffee all over my work - cheers for that!

. Not sarcasm, it's genuinely great to see what people have done with them!I think they got the concept from the mining villages they have in Auz - but the difference is that there they are free to the workers and also the workers get free meals provided, where with this pod idea you pay.
