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!

day 756 in the lounge


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.


Who goes?

1) No cash prize - PAH! LOTS OF MONEY TO BE MADE THROUGH WANTED, OFFERED AND RECOMMENDATIONS

2) No "fame". For 15 seconds. And even that is of the Heat variety. YES THERE IS, WE ARE ON A PUBLIC FORUM, OUR RAVINGS ARE READ BY THOUSANDS ALL OVER THE WORLD AND WE HAVE PICTURES COURTESY OF ANDREW

3) No producers messing with our heads ADMINISTRATOR - ALL OF THEM

4) No general script behind the scenes with a vague direction of how things will turn out ADMINISTRATOR, ALL OF THEM

5) Intelligent conversation happens on here. Sometimes NOT EVERY DISCUSSION ON BB IS ABSOLUTE COBBLERS, AS ON THE FORUM

6) No Davina McCall. MOOS? SURELY?

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
