Man Makes Self-Isolation Bunker With Sky, Games Consoles And A Bed

Man Makes Self-Isolation Bunker With Sky, Games Consoles And A Bed

He made it five years ago

Well someone obviously got the memo that the rest of us didn't - a man has been unbelievably prepared for self-isolation for the past five years after building himself a self-isolation bunker in his back garden.

Inventor and YouTuber Colin Furze made the underground steel structure back in 2015 and it comes complete with Sky TV, a bed and a drum kit.

The amazing space looks better than my flat and comes complete with a kitchen, which has a microwave, sink and is all stocked up with tinned and dried food - pre-stockpiling days.

The bunker also has its own generator for electricity, meaning he can enjoy all the entertainment on offer, with a TV, Sky box and a selection of gaming consoles all at his disposal.

And if all that isn't enough for him, he's even put a drum kit down there in case he gets bored as well as a bed. Getting extremely serious, he even has a gas mask on the nearby wall. Let's hope it doesn't get that far.

The 40-year-old is renowned for his inventions, which also include the world's fastest mobility scooter and a drive-able hot tub car.

Speaking about his self-isolation area, he said it was the 'ultimate underground apocalyptic bunker'. Well, that's a bit much isn't it.

He added: "After five years it is just as solid as the day it was built. I encourage anyone, if you have the space and the money, to build one as it's a fantastic room to have, especially with the way things are in the world at the moment, I'm pretty glad I've got it."

You wouldn't suspect a thing, would you.

Bet you are.

And in the face of adversity, what do the general public do better than make sure they have a safe space to have a bevvy.

Take, for example, Steve Heming, a freight forwarder, from Bexley. On realising his partner Madeleine Markey was feeling the strain of being cooped up inside, like many of us are - he decided to take matters into his own hands, creating the 'Isolation Inn' in their house.

What a keeper.

Steve told LADbible: "My fiancée has been feeling a bit down with everything going on, and as I could not cheer her up by taking her to the pub, I thought I would bring the pub to her.

"So I made the sign and we ordered the beers."

Now, to the untrained eye it MIGHT look like bottles of beer on a table, but in these times, we have to use our imagination a bit, don't we?

Great idea, Steve.
