No contest [28 Aug 2008|12:33am]

If I was a heartless cynic, I'd say that if you were up for the public vote, you'd want the public to see you as a good and generous person.

That said, with those 2 competing, it was clear what the outcome was going to be.

Got to love Darnell trying to hug Sara, and her holding him away. The man has some deep issues.

I'm distressed... [27 Aug 2008|11:40pm]

jimjamjenny
When I was in Junior School (from years 3-6, between the ages of 7 and 11ish) we used to sing songs which weren't hymns on special Friday assemblies led by our headmaster. One of them, which I have extremely fond memories of is a song about a hippopotamus, where the first verse goes like this:


I had a hippopotamus; I kept him in a shed
And fed him upon vitamins and vegetable bread.
I made him my companion on many cheery walks,
And had his portrait done by a celebrity in chalks.


Earlier I googled it, because I could never remember any more of the words than that first verse, and was shocked and horrified at the rest of the song, especially the last few verses...

His charming eccentricities were known on every side.
The creature's popularity was wonderfully wide.
He frolicked with the Rector in a dozen friendly tussles,
Who could not but remark upon his hippopotamuscles.

If he should be affected by depression or the dumps
By hippopotameasles or the hippopotamumps
I never knew a particle of peace 'till it was plain
He was hippopotamasticating properly again.

I had a hippopotamus, I loved him as a friend
But beautiful relationships are bound to have an end.
Time takes, alas! our joys from us and robs us of our blisses.
My hippopotamus turned out a hippopotamissus.

My housekeeper regarded him with jaundice in her eye.
She did not want a colony of hippopotami.
She borrowed a machine gun from her soldier-nephew, Percy
And showed my hippopotamus no hippopotamercy.

My house now lacks the glamour that the charming creature gave.
The garage where I kept him is as silent as a grave.
No longer he displays among the motor-tyres and spanners
His hippopotamastery of hippopotamanners.

No longer now he gambols in the orchard in the Spring;
No longer do I lead him through the village on a string;
No longer in the mornings does the neighborhood rejoice
To his hippopotamusically-modulated voice.

I had a hippopotamus, but nothing upon the earth
Is constant in its happiness or lasting in its mirth.
No joy that life can give me can be strong enough to smother
My sorrow for that might-have-been-a-hippopotamother.


I'm sad now. Another happy childhood memory destroyed!!!

This is unrelated, but...
Japan on Sunday. I am very excited.
VERY excited!
YAYY!

Braids - where to go? [27 Aug 2008|05:40pm]

[deesobek]

Hello

So braids, chunky, long, something that will last 3 months or so.  Anyone know a fairly priced hairdresser in the Manchester area?  Preferably somewhere easy to get to.

Many thanks

ETA: Home based or home visit ones welcome too.

Becks Fusions Festival [27 Aug 2008|02:38pm]

[phuturatica]
Hey, does anyone know anything about buying tickets for the Becks Fusions Festival that is being held at Castlefield Arena on the 4th - 6th September?

I would love to go, however on the website it doesn't actually say anything about tickets being for sale - instead it says that all the draws have been done and the winners have been announced! I really wanna go though! I am willing to pay for a ticket!

Any information people?

Live show tonight at 11:05pm, Housemates will have to nominate face to face!, then the two up for eviction will play a game of jeopardy for £50,000.

Who do you think the group will nominate? My guess is it will be Lisa & Sara.

I feel really sorry for Sara. They're so horrible to her! And she's not an ugly bitch :(

Ugh I hate Katreya atm. She's so ANNOYINGGG. I used to think she was sweet but it's just getting boring.

 ok the big question: who should win BB 08 and why?
are you voting for entertainment (but not neccesarily nice) HM's or is it 'sit on the fence' types like Rachel who should win?

Vets! [25 Aug 2008|05:57pm]

Hello Peeps!  
I am looking for recomendations for a wise and fair doctor of the vetenary kind within the catchment area of M16, the Hulme / Whalley Range / Chorlton end of things.  My bunny needs his mixi & VHD jabs , and, (don't tell him!) I plan to lop the poor thing's pods off, thus I need one who can be trusted with sharp objects.  Evening / weekend appointments would be a bonus.

Cost isn't too much of a worry, my little chum's comfort (well, as comfortable as he can be post-castration) is the most important thing to me!

Thanks in advance!

So, this Mario thing, I wasn't paying attention...We have to watch BBLB on Sunday? So am I correct to assume that they'll be sat on the sofa's watching the screen and he'll propose in the studio to a camera..Right?  So he's not actually going IN to the house?  
What's the effing point?  Why can't he wait two weeks and do it properly?  Anything for publicity.

The Nicole Interview [22 Aug 2008|10:53pm]

[annakey]
94% the highest percentage ever? Wasn't Sezer the Geezer's something like that? I thought it was 98?

Davina should consider a career change and start working for Relate. In how many subtle ways can one person say "Your relationship is a sham"? Amazing.

Big Bro Zombies [22 Aug 2008|12:29pm]

Guardian columnist Charlie Brooker's E4 zombie thriller Dead Set will be set in the Big Brother house.

The six-part horror series - E4's first move into the genre - is being made by Zeppotron, the independent owned by Big Brother producer Endemol UK.

It is understood that in Dead Set, the Big Brother house becomes one of the last places where people can shelter from the zombies.

According to Broadcast magazine, the contestants in the Big Brother house are unaware of the massacre going on outside.

Described as being like cult US show 24 "but with zombies", Dead Set was commissioned by the head of E4, Angela Jain.

If Nicole leaves on Friday, should Rex leave with her?

Yes

No

Other (explain please!)
3 (3.3%)



I think he should stay if she leaves. He was so amazing without her. I reckon if he stays we might see more of the old Rex, and he might be in with a good chance to win. Or at least be in the top 3.
