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?

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

    • As I understand it Charlie Smith did put himself forward for selection in GG but Labour members chose someone else to represent them, Liam McGrath https://southwarklabour.com/our-candidates/   It'll be interesting to see if there are other defections - surely the Greens want a drip, drip, drip of news from now to May suggesting the momentum is with them. 
    • Thanks for your feedback - we always appreciate hearing from members about their experience. The pool temperature at JAGS Sports Club is maintained at 29oC, in line with industry guidelines for mixed-use pools.  This temperature has been designed to balance comfort for lane swimmers and families. Air temperature is also monitored regularly to ensure a comfortable environment for swimmers, spectators and staff. The shower Temperature Mixing Valves (TMVs) were changed in December to improve consistency, and we hope this has made a noticeable difference. If you would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please contact us directly at [email protected] or 020 8613 6500 and we'll be really happy to help.  
    • One wonders if he would have defected if he had, ahem, held on to the leadership of Southwark and whether he felt that "Labour are no longer the vehicle for social justice" during his leadership election........my how quickly things change in the thoughts of a politician 😉 I think this sums things up quite nicely: A senior Southwark Labour spokesperson hit back: “Local residents can draw their own conclusions about Cllr McAsh’s swift move from Labour leadership hopeful to the Green Party, after he didn’t get his own way. While he’s thinking about his own career, Southwark Labour are delivering for residents.” One wonders if he will stand as a Green candidate in Goose Green.
    • No doubt if he determines to stand for a ward he will enlighten us - at least his track record is one of using this site to communicate (inter alia). I would suspect that (1) his personal views on traffic will have remained consistent but that (2) his views on local democracy and proper consultation will have as well.
