Well not quite raining, but showers, with heavy rain on friday due. Not the best of weeks to go on a sailing holiday in north western france. So far we have done one unpleasant sailing trip and that was the one where we were due to do 36 hours but gave up and pulled into cherbourg instead. Where we have been ever since.

Not that i enjoy sailing, and yes, given the choice would rather be couped up tied up than being out in bouncy seas hard on the wind.

Oh well, I guess we have to get to Brest for my flight home, but that could end up being a expensive taxi from wherever we are.

Have fun

Au revoir

Yes he was a bit of a dick, but was still more enjoyable to watch than Carole. He pranks did go a bit far sometimes, but his energy brought quite a lot to the house. Was laughing at the hypocrisy of Charley crying when he left, when she is one of the many who nominated him.

We have learned that Brian didn’t know of Romeo and Juliet or even Shakespear. It’s quite shocking that in his 20 or so years on this earth he has never come across either. And he wet the bed, how embarrassing, granted it could have genuinely have been the first time since being a child, but still to have that publicised in such a way must be pretty humiliating.

Oh well. An insomina task now (am still a day behind) should be fun, certainly some of them won’t be able to hack it, whether or not the stronger ones manage to keep them awake should be fun.

That’s it for now, and maybe a few days.

Au revoir

Well it has been an interesting couple of weeks, 6 new boys, 1 less wannabe, £100,000 and an eviction (though have yet to find out who)

I like the new housemates, well… ish, Seany is a bit of a cock, though i think he gets a little carried away and that is his problem, ripping the duvet off Lesley was not a good move. And it was a final straw for her so she walked, she was okay to watch for a bit, but wasnt really big brother material so no major loss.

Then Shabanabanam, not sure if you have seen it but she also went on Britains Got Talent, her talent being “tv presenting”. That girl really is desperate, yet has no talent, she is deluded a bit to think that she can make it just “being herself”. Didn’t understand the boos and kept telling the crowd “I’m fun”. No Shabanabanam, you’re not. And that dance was awful, a big cringe moment. I hope that she understands now, why she was nominated, evicited and booed. For her sake. I don’t want to smash the girls dreams to the floor saying that she will never make it. But she needs to do more that say “im fun” and a crappy dance, perhaps she does that dance with her friends and they all laugh at her, thus she thinks that all she has to do for people to like her.

I will put my claws away now, I hope she got what she wanted from the show, though I can’t see her doing much, other than a topless shoot for Nuts or similar mags.

Gerry is nice, and adds a touch of fun. Laura is a miserable moaning cow. Carole is boring me, and should really go (she is who i voted for) all she does is moan about the housework and her towel and gets too upset about small things. She doesn’t bring any fun to the house and will always withdraw herself from the group if she doesn’t like the way things are going. She moans about doing all the washing, but in the first week volunteered to do everyones washing.

New boys, Brian is great, a bit dippy and entertaining with it. Liam is ok, quite sweety, and he got the £100,000 and cried (bless), but other than that hasn’t done too much. Jonathon, the millionare, he can be a bit harsh when he doesn’t need to and is taking the “dad’ role, when there doesn’t need to be one, and this is making the others resent him. Ummm, oh and Billy, he is a bit of a cock, i don’t like him, but like that he fancies Channelle and is stiring things up a bit with Ziggy.

Think thats is. Oh Charley, the past few HL shows (highlight) she has been great, the hair pulling thing was hilarious, and it seems she has chilled out a bit, more boys certainly contributes to this, and it seems she doesn’t have to be queen bee with all the girls any more. Don’t get me wrong, she can still be a nasty bitch, but even when being nasty is great to watch. And thats what they are there for.

Still no winners yet, Liam or the Twins, just because there is a risk that the dull ones win (remember Anthony??)

How exiting, im not gonna be seeing much BB on my travels, only when adequate wireless in the marinas will i be able to get hold of it. But its still pretty special when i can… just the simplicity of having tv on demand, god bless the internet.

Well not even close, but it was a pretty bumpy ride yesterday when we set off on your annual sailing trip aka “summer holiday”

The plan was the sail for 36+ hours to get to South Brittany. Not unusually the weather was blowing from the direction we wanted to head, so begins a day and half of pounding into the wind, boat at 45º and not a happy sam. We set off with two other boats, and we lost contact with one to later find out they turned back and went to Poole instead. We decided that it wasn’t an endurance test and changed our destination to Alderney (channel islands).

But it was still super shitty so we changed course again to Cherbourg, and that’s where we are now. And its wet, very wet, woke up to rain and it’s still raining, big fat rain. So it’s not very grand, but its okay inside, we are warm and dry and have the internet (yay). So now i can catch up on the big brother i have missed, and Dr Who. Maybe even a touch of wow later, who can say, patching at the moment.

Our friends in Poole are still in Poole, and it’s looking like we will still be Cherbourg tomorrow due to shitty weather. What larks.

Au revoir

One particular word in this case. Emily’s use of the word was unfortunate. She didn’t use it in a derogatory sense or in anger, she was using it as street slang as seen in many movies and all the time in music. Firstly Charley overreacted, she kept saying not talk about it, but then every second she kept bringing it up, even when the conversation was finished and they were onto something else she would blurt “I still can believe you said that”. And then go into a group of people who knew nothing of it and started to talk in riddles to people that did know about it baiting the others to question what they were talking about.

Though with all this, she did seem genuinely shocked, not offended, but shocked.

I don’t believe that Emily refers to her black friends as “niggers” all the time, so it was strange that she said it. She is hardy very street, and is also the one who stated that “there is a new type of music sweeping the country called indie”

She is has been removed from the house, apparently there were 900 complaints to C4 that she shouldn’t have been removed against 100 complaints about the word. C4 did the right thing, after this years CBB issues with 40,000 people complaining (many fueled by the media, and many from the thousands of active BB fans on the forums) C4 could hardly let this slip. C4 were told off for not intervening and for show the arguments without proper warning before broadcast.

They couldn’t risk another media beating from the red tops and politicians about how they are encouraging racism, and not dealing with racist issues in the house. If we didn’t have the Shilpa incident then I do not believe they would have booted Emily out. After all, Jade was persecuted for say “popadom”

A friend pointed out Victor from BB5 used to say nigger all the time, yet he wasn’t punished, it wasn’t even an issue.

But in the watchful eye of the public and media just waiting for BB to slip up once more, C4 has no choice but to take very strong action and to be seen and no tolerating any such language.

Oh well, I didn’t like Emily very much anyway. Even though I think Shabanabanam is very weird and deluded.

Other events, Ziggy seems to be getting pissed off with all the “girly bollox” and what a lot of girl bollox there is. Mainly from Channel who was crying in the diary room “it’s not my fault my hair has a natural curl” (stupid girl) and then getting extremely aggressive and angry over the prospect of BB confiscating her boots.

The twins are completely non-existant, you almost don’t notice there dullness as they walk around and sit with the others. The only thing they seem to do is to watch themselves in the mirror working on their silly acts. Do they even speak, or just sing?

Tracey amused me with her diary room rave, though her arguments are a bit shite, ending in “I’m Trace, thats the who I am”

Lesley made me laugh with her “I’m sniffing my mattress” comment, of all the excuses to use for having a little cry, that has to be one of the best.

Carole seems a bit too mumsey, wanting to make household duties priority. Nicky had potential, Laura is nice, though not sure how far being nice gets you in this game. I do like Charley, she is good to watch and is very expressive.

Two guys going in tonight, rumors are a gay guy and a bi guy, we shall see.
