that also explains the last 10 years (or more!) of pop music...

Re: The anti-Big Brother 6 thread

Re: The anti-Big Brother 6 thread
I've decided to take the difficult step of unsubscribing from this thread ... seeing as it appears to be frequented by closet BB watchers, rather than those who indulge openly over in the other thread ... 
TBH I cannot be bothered with BB to such an extreme degree that I don't want to talk about it at all - not even about how tiresome it has become. So I'm off.

Re: The anti-Big Brother 6 thread
Well it's week 6 and for some reason, it has not been so bad this year. Not in terms of entertainment, but in trying to avoid it.
I have managed to ignore it without any trouble. Other years, everywhere I seem to go, it was there. From people talking about it at work to it being mentioned on the radio.
Unless I have just become immune to it.
Anyways...it has been better this year.

Re: The anti-Big Brother 6 thread
Can I develop a anti big brother weapon, it is constructed of a giant jet plane, with 500gallons of highly flammable petroleum, and me throwing a petrol lighter ontop the "house" while they are in it.

Re: The anti-Big Brother 6 thread
Is this heap of steaming **** that passes as entertainment in some people's eyes over yet?
Has it finally been cancelled along with all the other 'reality' TV shows as people have finally realised what a load of b******s they all are and stopped watching?
