There has been much discussion about the horrors of Big Brother - a bunch of disparate people who row, bicker, flirt, fornicate, talk nonsense, chat about trivia, get drunk,throw up, keep chickens, grow veg, have philosophical debates, compare existentialist angst ..... AND we do all of this in public.


Isn's that us? Are we not Big Brother writ large? Do we not disport ourselves in public, strutting and preening to general adoration or scorn?


Are we not that which horrifies us?

Reasons this place isn't BB (and all the better for it)


1) No cash prize

2) No "fame". For 15 seconds. And even that is of the Heat variety. * shudders *

3) No producers messing with our heads

4) No general script behind the scenes with a vague direction of how things will turn out

5) Intelligent conversation happens on here. Sometimes

6) No. F***ing. Davina. McCall

You know, I kind of knew what she meant when she said that...


To add to what SeanMac said, we didn't audition and we weren't selected by a casting team specifically to annoy each other.

It's just happy coincidence that we do!

DM is flirting

Macroban is showing his pictures of ED 100 years ago.

Louisa has said something controversial.

A new contestant said..'there are too many kids in pubs round here'.... and the existing forumites yawned collectively.

HonaloochieB posted on the song game thread.

Tillie Trotter added a line to a limerick.


For todays task, the forumites must construct a picture of James Nesbitt using only punctuation marks.

    • Niko 07818 607 583 has been doing jobs for us for several years, he is reliable, always there for us, highly recommended! 
    • I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.
    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
