Burlington, the UK's underground city 

Via Daily Illuminator, a lengthy (if rather dry) history and tour of a secret underground city, or anyway a secret underground small town, in Corsham, Wiltshire (UK) -- a Cold War emergency refuge for 4,000 government officials. Variously called Hawthorn Central Government War Headquarters, Stockwell, Subterfuge, Turnstile, and more recently Site 3, the complex was first built in the early 1960s and maintained (at a cost that eventually rose to half a million pounds a year) until 2004. "The MOD [Ministry of Defence] is looking for a company to bring new life to the site. English Heritage have also expressed an interest in preserving part of the site for historic interest."

No, seriously. If you make non-commercial use of stuff here, that's fine, but we reserve all commercial rights, and all rights to prepare derivative material on things posted here. In addition, posters of comments must be aware that we reserve the right to use whatever material they post here, and/or derivative works therefrom, in PARANOIA, supplementary products, licensed products, or derivative work, without any compensation whatever, for all time to come and throughout this universe and any alternate universes that may be discovered. At our discretion, and without obligation, we may, if it strikes our fancy, make a good faith effort to credit you for stuff we use, but we can't promise it won't slip our minds, in the hurly-burly of meeting deadlines. (Actually, we intend to do that, but it's possible we'll screw up.) By posting comments, you grant us a non-revocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use whatever you post, in whatsoever fashion we deem useful, here or in any other forum, in PARANOIA or in any and all future products, including but not limited to derivative works, and specifically but not exclusively including the microbrewery beer, ale and porter; salty and sugary snack; and tattoo design rights deriving therefrom. Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
