[Guest]

Well folks its that time of year again.

Details of the housemates reveiled so far are:

* One housemate does stand-up comedy

* One housemate has been deported from America

* One housemate is a DJ

* One housemate is a Buddhist

* One housemate is Muslim

* One housemate wears a watch worth £13,000

* Three housemates have children

* Three housemates were born outside the UK

* One housemate has appeared in a film with Hugh Grant

* One housemate has had a breast enlargement

* One housemate has never watched Big Brother (is this the Blind man !!)

* The oldest housemate is 42

Bloody hell is this really the 9th series...

Fuck, is this on again?
Surely it only finished just recently?

[Guest]

Big Brother - Nein

Oh no.

I'm adding Big Brother to my list of topics I will not engage with on the interwebnet. After last year I don't think I could go through it again.

Is it a long list? Can we have a copy, so we know not to bring them up?

when will Carphone Warehouse withdraw their sponsorship?

(DING)

TT It includes but is not limited to:

vegetarianism/veganism
any other animal rights issue
being overweight as a personal issue
representations of women's bodies in the media as a general issue
film and music piracy
big brother and its effects on/implications about contemporary society

I haven't succeeded but I will keep trying.

Damn straight. It's called 'Watching Something Else To Avoid A Bunch Of Self-Interested Bleeders Time'.

did you miss football? Oh wait, you support Southampton, so thats expected.

[Guest]

Big Brother - Nein

I'm quite happy to talk about Southampton, but no one else ever seems to want to...

[Gerontophile]

Big Brother - Nein

it has a nice harbour.

[Eggchaser]

Big Brother - Nein

I like the place, as I've made clear on previous occasions.

Big Brother can fuck right off, though. It will be made worse by cretins on the radio droning on and on about the bloody thing ad infinitum (even worse as my wife insists on listening to Moyles and his merry gang when I'm not in the room of a morning, leading me to wander in after having a shower or eating breakfast to hear some part of his hilarious skits).

This isn't the Southampton first team squad, is it?

[Gerontophile]

Big Brother - Nein

or perhaps there are only 3 housemates, and they are all wankers.

Why would anyones claim to fame be a £13k watch? Really? "Oh my best friend once sucked Ruoert Murdochs cock"

I cant wait for this. It makes my life seem so much easier.

This thing is shit. Why is it still on? Why is there still interest in it? It's pretty much 'this nation's shame' as far as I can work out.

[Bored Of Education]

Mrs Bored has promised not to watch it this year in order for us to be able to discuss things and chat and whatnot but I kind of hope she will so that I can watch all the football. It goes on for months after though

Ehehehehe. Well, yeah, I doubt Rupert would baulk at pimping them out to solve some of the club's financial problems...

[Mumpo]

Things I get bored shitless of hearing from people who don't like Big Brother:

- It's not on again, is it?
- Is anyone still watching it?
- I can't even remember who won it last time
- It's all the press talk about for 11 weeks, even the broadsheets

All of these comments should of course be delivered in a withering, morally superior tone of voice.

I'm not a massive fan of Big Brother, but the weekday evening highlights programmes are enjoyable enough to watch on the odd occasion, especially if the day's events are full of enough awkward pauses and revealing body language.

[Gerontophile]

Big Brother - Nein

King, you just said a mouthful.

I hate it, but I will watch (possibly) because it winds people up. And call me 12 years old if you must, but I like something that goes against the ... no, I cant finish that sentence. If nothing else, we will have someone to talk about. (Is there a really camp stereotype in there, and is she straight?)

"I'm not acting superior. I really am superior."

[Gerontophile]

Big Brother - Nein

If you are so superior, why the need to proclaim so?

Ah, the old "inverted comma" trick.

Nope, doesnt wash.

[Gerontophile]

Big Brother - Nein

About to start... my money is on the weird one with the big hair. Shit, Davina isnt in the betting.

[Gerontophile]

Big Brother - Nein

16 housemates. 93 days. Oh fuck.

[Gerontophile]

Big Brother - Nein

Are batteries included with Davina as she has gone into hyperdrive?

[Gerontophile]

Big Brother - Nein

Its as bad as we feared.... there is a couple and there is a chance that the male will have to tip his head back to get his eyes open (makeup wise). My brother obviously did her makeup. He was a plasterer.

[Gerontophile]

Big Brother - Nein

oh, and from Liverpool.
