THE REALITY OF SUMMER 2007?

Who remembers anything about the last seven series of Big Brother UK? Or should I rephrase that? Who remembers the last seven summers?

Who was your favourite housemate? I only remember a few faces now, and even fewer story lines, but have found myself immersed in every single one, much to the chargrin of m'other half.

I'm an addict. The eigth series starts on Wednesday night (cue a "surprise" eviction on Friday night, then) and.... and.... (come on, Annie - you can say it), and.... (deep breath)... and... I'm going to try and avoid it.

(I don't think anyone knows how hard that was to say!)

I plan to enjoy my summer, and not get involved in the "lives" of fame seeking sociopaths.

Imagine how much I'll save in "Heat" costs!*

*Ack - I've just checked out both the Channel 4 & Heat sites and can feel myself getting sucked in already.

I am a shallow, shallow person.

Gee my krag, o here!

ANFIELD WAY

"Down Anfield Way the world is gay
All Kopites are to tingle,
With rows and rows of crimson flags
From Bootle up to Dingle.
The toast is to eleven men
Who wear the scarlet jersey.
Their names will live forever more
Along the river Mersey



C'mon the 'pooooooooooooooooool. CLF tonight.


Lekker, Boetie

KEEP IT SAFE. INNIT.

Rumour has it the police will have a greater presence at Glastonbury this year.

Don't I know it!

Dis die waarheid.

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN..

Not long to go now.....

Mooi, sussie.

DEMOCRACY, UNIONS & FREEDOM OF SPEECH

Should powerful (newly amalgamated) unions like UCU bus load in members and non-members from Bristol and other areas to protest the visit to Bath University by BNP leader, Nick Griffin?

Surely the good students of Bath can stand up for themselves?

Answers on the back of a postcard, please.

Dankie.

BRAVE NEW WORLD

L & I had another foray into the social experiment that is Centre Parcs this bank holiday weekend and had a rather jolly time - even though we were surrounded by riff-raff and their rug rats.

(On an unrelated note, a work colleague said to me today - "You can't put other people in your room 101, Annie!")

We've survived previous attempts as it's a convenient 30 minute drive away, and thought we'd have a crack at an "Executive Villa" this time. Bless the poor soul who ever defined grass green carpeting and maroon sofas with matching curtains, orange checked duvets, and complimentary bar of bath soap (aka "Toiletries") and complimentary kitchen sponge as "executive".

The Lake View, Hydro Bath and BBQ were welcome additions, mind.

Highlights included: ten-pin bowling, swimming, cycling, archery, tennis, squash, eating, sleeping, breathing, bbq-ing, drinking, tsking-a-la-supernanny while unasseptable-parent-child-relationship-watching and paintballing.

Mooi, Tannie.

VIVA DEMOCRACY

(I haven't quite worked out why yet, but....) No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no....

...I only realised yesterday that GB may soon be leading our country..

Dis nie snaaks nie.
