Is this the greatest man-cave ever?
Daily Mail ^ | 11/24/15 | Euan McLelland

An expecting father has ensured he will suffer no sleepless nights when his pregnant girlfriend gives birth - by building a bunker 10ft under his back garden which is capable of surviving the apocalypse.

Former plumber Colin Furze, 36, says he has dreamt of having his own secret lair since he was a child.

So he spent two months building the 16ft x 20ft man cave underneath the garden of his modest semi-detached house in Stamford, Lincolnshire.

England. No guns. Fail.

The rack's on the other side of the wall, in the loo, next to the Fixtures.

Hahaha! He will need a place to hide if his live-in pregnant girlfriend ever gets the idea that maybe their child should have a legal father. :-)

I really, really like the way you think.

Did I tell you about the cookbook for fixing the sandwiches?

So will those giant worms from *Tremors.*

No worries. Invite a pal over, and stock up on belted one-in-five for the gimpy.

Seems like it could do for some lightweight fun, but it wouldn’t hold up well in a true SHTF time...

My entire house is a ‘man cave’, with three bedrooms up stairs and one down, library room, living room with fireplace, dining room, eat-in kitchen, two laundry rooms, a double garage and a sunporch/breakfast room. How is that 3200 plus sq ft a man cave? ... I’m the man who lives there, with one little tuxedo cat. Gets lots of visitors but It’s my castle/cave.

That man cave looks British.

It’s quite disgusting. And I don’t just mean the toilet by the table but the whole premise behind the cave. I would have thought it was kind of neat if it weren’t for the comment about the girlfriend/baby/sleep thing. If he didn’t say that and it was just the comment of the person writing the article, I’ll give him a pass. If not, the immaturity of this guy makes me sick.

Hate the term man cave. Always liked and still prefer the word “den”

Oh. Then I guess I should've asked; "Where's the loo?".
