Apologies

I must apologise to those that read this blog, if there are indeed any at all, for the lack of updates.. I just got a bit bored of Big Brother. The tasks seem to be rather boring and with all the housemates who do indeed cause conflict having been voted out week after week, the house itself if pretty boring..

Just the boring housemates that don't really do much, like Imogen, are left and they're all pretty mellow and nothing really happens..

Maybe the new house will prove to be more exciting, with Aisleyne or Suzie, not actually being evicted, unbeknown to the housemates, but going into 'the house next door', with 5 brand new housemates..

Since that last post, Sam the man went out, the next week Grace followed suit to the delight of the public and choruses of 'get Grace out'.. followed the next week by Lisa, the loud Chinese girl.. she actually managed not to swear in the whole of her interview..

Another walk another eviction

OK, so I haven't really updated this since Bonnie left, for a few reasons, firstly I spent most of last week at the humble abode of my dearest and secondly, I've been ill..

So anyway, to keep this short, George walked, because he said he wouldn't be able to cope with the fame and notoriety once leaving the house, if he actually got evicted..

Then came nominations and the housemates up for eviction were, Lea, Richard and Sleazer Sezer..

Now Lea was convinced she was going.. Richard wasn't sure who was going, and Sezer was convinced that Lea was going too.. So much so that he kept bragging that he wouldn't go out against someone like that, because all the girls would vote to keep him in.. Little did he know..

Several episodes of the same sort later, with Sezer being completely unaware of his outright male chauvanism, eviction night came.. and when Davina let it be known that it would be Sezer that would be the second housemate to be evicted, he could not have been more shocked..

The majority of the house however seemed delighted.. On coming out of the house, Sezer saw ow he had been edited and realised the extent of his vulgarity, and actually wasn't all that bad in interview.. but he gained the highest ever percentage of the vote to be booted out of the house.. a staggering 91.7%..

All the ladies that would apparently vote to keep him in, had actually voted against him, not because they liked Lea or Richard more, but just because they hated them less than they hated him.. they were offended that he loved himself so much that he should think that every woman in the country would love him too..

In other news, the house gained 2 new people.. in the lovely Grace's words, a He-She named Sam (Samuel or Samantha, you take your pick) and another silly blonde ghetto bitch, who is the biggest moose ever named Aisleyne. The new housemates arrived as prizes for winning a task..

More happenings in the world of Big Brother

I keep forgetting about this blog so I neglecting it a little.. anyway over the last few days there have been a few interesting developments within the BB house..

After Shabaz went, it was revealed that Dawn had a not so secret code. Before entering the house Dawn had arranged with her family to send her messages, so if she was getting bad press they were to send a message saying her sister was ill..

So the rest of the housemates were a bit sorry for smelly Dawn (she refused to wash in the whole week of being there) thinking that her sister was ill.. whilst all the time what it actually meant was that Dawn had been getting bad press on the outside..

Anyway Dawn, (obviously she's not too bright and forgets that the house is full of microphones and cameras, not to mention the mic around her neck) anyway she starts whispering to the housemates that it's alright and her sister isn't really ill.. it's just a secret code she has..
BB hearing this, haul Dawn in to the diary room for a severe bollocking because of rule breaking, and then chuck her out..

So Dawn, was the first housemate to cheat in this way since Nasty Nick way back in series one and get thrown out of the house for it..

So there were 2 housemates gone within the first week and it hadn't even been eviction night.. So then it came, and surprise surprise Bonnie was the first housemate to be booted out by public nomination.. The interview was boring, but then Bonnie can't speak properly.. Where is she from? I mean who really has an accent like that.. anyway there we have the happenings of the first week in the BB house.. and what an eventful week

Three housemates gone.. what more has BB got in store for the housemates..? I'll be watching to find out..

He's Outta There

Yes, that's right.. Shabaz annoyed everyone so much that they all took to ignoring him, and then he left..

It all started really on BB launch night.. Shabaz was too gay even for Mr Sexual Terrorist- Richard..

Over the next few days he didn't talk to people, he grabbed them and if they didn't agree with his way.. their way was wrong..

Then he started getting in moods with people and crying and generally over-acting and playing up for the cameras a little too much

So Richard devised that they should all ignore Shabaz and exclude him from the group.. 'Shabang, and Shabaz will be gone'.. or something along those lines..

Shabaz not happy with being ignored.. stole all of the housemates food, placed it in binliners and hid it in a box.. later claiming BB had been in and taken it all away.. he also rewrote the housemates shopping list..
The housemates by this time didn't really start speaking to him rather than shouting at him..

Shabaz once again the centre of attention and in floods of tears proceeded to pack his bags..

Bye Bye Shabaz..

More developments in the BB house

One of the first big discoveries, although not exactly a surprising one, was the revelation of Lea's porn star past.. thankfully I haven't actually seen the evidence, but I have it on good authority that it was not a pretty sight..

Sezer was hot under the collar for Imogen and the pair have been getting closer over the past few days..

Dawn, the people hater, is actually becoming a mum to the group as is Lea, they are the oldest two women of the group though..

Several members of the Big Brother house have kept quiet and haven't really integrated in to the group as well as others.. Bonnie is one of these.. it's her own fault though for sounding so stupid when she speaks.. Glyn is another.. he's only 18 though.. and then there's George, another young one.. it really does make me feel old when i'm older than quite a few of the housemates..

Nikki is just a moaning spoiled brat.. it's obvious that all her life she's had everything that she wants done for her.. and now BB won't give her bottled water.. she claims she's going to die..
Also the holding back of suitcases until housemates became members of the Big Brotherhood proved to be rather funny.. especially with the case of Nikki.. I hope she never gets her clothes..

As for Shabaz.. at first he was my favourite, now just like the rest of the house, i'm rather fed up of him.. the rest of the housemates have now excluded him and are ignoring him, to which Shabaz responded by stealing all of the food and hiding it away, making the claim that Big Brother had been in and taken the food away

Richard- the sexual terrorist- is now my new favourite.. he seems quite sensible and is the daddy of the house..

Pete, although he has tourettes seems to be everyone's favourite within the house.. good for him..

Overall this has been one of the most eventful first few days that we have seen so far in the BB house.. not in terms of the cruelty of BB, but just in the amount of conflict that has been present between the housemates.. This BB could prove to be rather interesting..

This is Big Bro

So another year and another Big Brother to boot, Big Brother Seven no less.

This year comes with more house mates than ever, and i'm guessing the usual bickering and bitching.

14 housemates in total this year, in order that they went in are;

Bonnie- she annoyed me from the moment I saw her AND she can't even say her name properly

Pete- what genius of Big Brother to put someone with Tourettes in to the house, he fell down the stairs, lol

George- I think he might go mental in the house

Shabaz- I think he might be my favourite for this year, just for the fact that he's going to annoy the hell out of everyone, he's gay, scottish and a muslim

Lea- she just looks all wrong.. like she might pop any moment..

Imogen- she seems more normal than the rest.. apparently was Miss Wales or something

Mikey- he's a Liverpudlian, I thought that was cool, until he opened his mouth and slated women as being unequal

Dawn- what a happy lady she was, I jest, she'll bring down the house

Glyn- apparently the sexiest lifeguard in Wales, maybe everyone that voted was blind, he seems kind of sweet

Richard- he's kind of scary, a guy that would seduce a corpse, yes i'd be worried about being locked up in a house with him

Grace- her mummy bought her a £350, 000 flat in Notting Hill.. typical spoiled rich kid

Lisa- another one that annoyed me from the off... I hope she quietens down

Sezer- a rags to riches story, he looks like a little puppy wanting all the attention

and lastly Nikki- what a slag.. typical Essex girl indeed.. probably will be the first to shag one of the boys.. or do a Kinga from last year and use a wine bottle.. what class..

So there we have the 14 housemates that entered the Big Brother house on 18th May 2006, why was it a Thursday night though? That has really thrown me, now I keep thinking it's Saturday..

I thought i'd start a Big Brother blog because I wanted to rival dear Samuel's.. bigbroblog

Also I need to start blogging more because I tend to neglect this page, so keep checking for all the news, reviews and gossip on this years Big Brother

Me and my man

Samuel and I have been going out now for a little over 17 months.. I think that that's pretty good going..

From the first moment that we spoke, I knew he was a cool guy.. we got talking because we both loved the bands Devo and Television, and neither of us (I think I speak on behalf of both of us there anyway) really knew anyone else, other than our dads, that liked them too..

We met up when I went to visit my friend at university and had a good old chat in the uni bar. A few weeks later was our first 'date'. We went to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool to see a Stuckist exhibition and toyed with the idea of creating our own Stuckist art. We then headed back to my flat and I cooked dinner for the two of us- French chicken and jacket potatoes, and then I kissed him, to Interpol.. I couldn't hold back :P

That was a Sunday, the next day he asked me out and i'm happy to say that we're still going strong, and engaged no less..

I like to think that we both have a lot in common, the first time I went to his house, looking through his cds was like looking at my own collection, and i'd always been interested in photography but Samuel bought me a beautiful SLR and my love for photography blossomed.

I've always joked about how Samuel is a bit of a geek, and not so secretly I think it's really cute. He's always going on about some programming language, like HTML or AJAX or Ruby on Rails, which I do believe he's currently learning, and I'm learning all these technical sort of terms..

For a while Samuel constantly went on about how good a certain podcast known as Diggnation was. Having never seen it, I couldn't really see the attraction, I'd phone him and he'd be like 'ohh i'm so tired, I'm going to sleep now'.. but he'd not hang up (he never realised this) and then he'd go and watch a Diggnation podcast instead, so I heard quite a few bits that way..
Then a few weeks ago, he actually made me watch an episode, and I have to say, it is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while, and i've downloaded several episodes now and watched them..

Last night we decided to go for a meal, to treat ourselves at having gotten through another year of university, and booked a table at the very lovely Auberge, in Southport.
I have to say, I was a little disappointed by the starter, it actually tasted quite nice, but didn't look too good and wasn't really to my taste, so I couldn't eat it.
However the main course more than made up for it.. never have I eaten a piece of meat that tasted so good.. I think devine is the word.. I wish I could cook like that.. Samuel would be a happy man..

So, I'd just like to say a thank you to Samuel, not just for introducing me to the delights of Diggnation, but for being there for me, for putting up with me these past 17 months, for loving me and for being my best friend..

Samuel my dear, I love you.

got the time?

So I haven't posted anything in a while.. and before I came across this new invention.. a watch that tells the approximate time...

It displays a text and number message, such as 'slightly after 6', and 'nearly 6.45'

http://www.talusfurniture.com/amusements/watch/index/html

In other news, I went watching The Fall, a few weeks ago, which was, to say the least, an experience.. and then last night was Belle and Sebastian..

I think, had I been one of the two girls that got pulled up on to stage in the encore, to sing 'Lazy Line Painter Jane', I would have wet myself with excitment..

Sadly, I am a terribly singer, and I was nowhere near the front of the stage. At least I could see throughout the entire gig though, which has to be a first for me...

stars of CCTV

The government has come up with a great new idea, which brings George Orwell's 1984 to life. If it isn't bad enough that we are constantly monitored wherever we go as it is, now they're bringing CCTV to your tv screens.

That great mind that is John Prescott, announced that so called 'Asbo TV', will enable you folks to watch live CCTV footage from the comfort of your very own homes..

Some think it could make TV shows such as The Bill obselete, and it gives viewers the chance to report any wrong doers that they may see to report the crimes to the police..

It's interactive tv gone mad.

Specs appeal

As if it isn't bad enough, trying to avoid collisions with other passers by who are using their mobiles, who don't give you even so much as a second glance, let alone an apology should they bump in to you when you're walking along the streets, now there's a new gadget on the market.

Orange and Samsung have now collaborated and come up with Micro-Optical glasses. They cost £200 and enable you to watch your favourite films, new bulletins or even play video games whilst wearing them.

Apparently though, these visors have been designed to see above and below the image, so that they can still walk along or even make a cup of tea whilst wearing them.

They're on sale in France now, Britain will follow shortly selling them from later on in the year. Personally I think that they're a bit of a daft idea. If people have enough trouble concentrating on where they're going when they're just on the phone.. how will they manage when watching a film whilst taking a stroll?

Sprouts anyone?

Anyone care for some brussel sprouts?

Now you can get them at your favourite auction site. Yes that's right, brussel sprouts have become the latest thing to become available on ebay.

Unwanted Christmas dinners with all the trimmings are going for thousands, one managed to attract a bid of £7600 and there's one little brussel, going by the name of Nicholas, that's listed at £1550 and preferably would like to go to a nice home in Belgium, it lays claim to be the 'original ebay sprout'.

Obviously some people have never heard of Tesco.
