I watched The Apprentice. It was good, as always. Sir Alan Sugar was hilarious tonight.
But then... I watched...
the remainder of Big Brother.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! What have I done?? And why do I already have a favourite (or two)? Why? Why have I taken a dislike (well, sort of) to one or two of Them? My life is not empty. So why have I done this? Why??
Because you needed to, Mellifluous Dark. You are so dirty and weak that I find myself looking at you with renewed admiration. Well done - you have acted wisely.
ReplyDeleteIt is 3.20am and I'm only now pulling myself away from the live feed (my girlfriend gave up over an hour ago - the LOSER).
Who's your fave and who will win and and and who do you dislike and who's going to get voted out first and....stuff?
I'm going to bed (hope you're sleeping soundly, btw).
TPE
I have been in Brum all day and am as tired as a tired person who is tireder than tired can be.
ReplyDeleteYou'll get no sense from me, TPE.
But I do like the WI woman. She looks nuts. And Laura.
Will write lots and lots on this probably at the weekend... Feel free in the meantime to please tell me who you like/ don't like/ loathe etc...
Best regards,
Em Dee
Sorry for lack of length of comment. Am seriously beyond it.
ReplyDeleteBut, yes, weak and dirty, that's how I felt apres le event BB.
Adieu mon ami
Okay: after half an hour's viewing tonight,I want to kill the twins.
ReplyDeleteOh, don't be worrying about shorter responses, Mellifluous Dark, especially if you're tired. Please tell me you're not as loopy as the clanger (NMJ) who simply never seems to believe it when I tell her to take it easy, rest, and feel no pressure to respond. I don't just say these things for fun, I actually mean them. (I'm decent and handsome that way).
ReplyDeleteI'm not prepared to commit myself to any of the Housemates yet - I need to see someone else do so publicly first, so that I can hide behind them (I'm weak and despicable that way).
I would say, however, that it is precisely because the WI woman seems nuts - and maybe even considers herself to be nuts, a card - that I am likely to find her ghastly. So we disagree sharply there. This is our first fight, Mellifluous Dark, and I worry for our future together.
I'm really quite disappointed that men are going to be introduced to The House. After some brief and initial irritation at the gimmickyness of an all female House, I rather warmed to the idea - and felt that it would have been quite an interesting (social) experiment. Experiment is maybe the wrong word, but you know what I mean?
(Is Brum actually, you know, a thing? A real place?)
And I hope they don't just put in bland-man-totty-boys with nary an ounce of stuff in their heads. That would be dull, and the memory of pint-sized Anthony runs troublingly deep.
The Twins need to be seperated immediately - maybe medically, terminally. But their cutesy pinkness is charming for less than a minute. No, less than even that. In fact, it comes nowhere near being charming in the first place - just stupid.
You already know that they will be appearing together in some sleazy man mag - social work be damned - and the prospect is numbingly dispiriting. On the plus side, I think I actually caught a glimpse of decency in them as they listened and responded to one of their fellow detainees.
I don't really feel comfortable writing people off after such a short space of time (even the nutty WI nutster) so I am hopeful that they will turn out to be good guys.
And by hopeful, of course, I mean doubtful.
You just take it easy now, Mellifluous Dark, and try to enjoy the weekend.
Kind regards and sleepy sentiments.....

(The mango jam pretty much rules, by the way. Maybe a little sweet compared to any jam that I would make myself, but some lemon squeezed into the jar soon sorts out the problem. I have a feeling I maybe have some other things of yours to respond to downstairs. I'll need to check later.)
The following is based on 15 minutes' viewing on Wednesday night. I haven't been home much so have missed most of The Programme so far but imagine that I might be watching tonight so will update my thoughts no doubt at some ungodly hour of Saturday morning (sleep programme hours and all that).
ReplyDeleteNMJ, I agree, that clone-faced duo needs sorting out and shipping out. As soon as I saw them I could see Nuts and Zoo covers staring out at me. *shudder*
Greetings, TPE. Thanks for being so understanding once again. I have so many thoughts in my head but so little time at the moment in which to scribble them down.
I reserve the right to change my mind about the WI woman and Laura as I did only see them when they went into the house, I think. Anyway, I'm not sure, not really, not yet. They struck me as possibly 'nice-ies' simply because they did not scream: "I'M HERE BECAUSE I'LL BE GETTING MY KNOCKERS OUT FOR YOU, BOYS!!!!" in the way that several of the others did.
Anyway, yes, if the WI woman did call herself zany/wacky/mad or indeed, a 'card', well, hmm, not good at all. So, we may yet agree on that point. Who knows?
I did not know that they were planning on introducing boys. How many people will there be in that house in total if they do that? I don't like more than 12; it's difficult to get to know or care about them.
And I do fear that they will shove some totty-types in there to match the likes of the twins. Plus an obligatory Older Person and possibly someone deeply religious or an ex-monk or sommat. Shame, really. I wish they had just put in some bog-standard plebby people – the way it should be, as in series one and two – where it was a social experiment rather than just a wannabes' window shop.
(Brum really does exist. I've travelled hundreds of miles this week and Brum was one of the venues. Very friendly people, they were.)
We shall converse soon, I am sure, on the topic of The Programme.
Yours in tiredness extremis and with a sleepyhead...
Kind thoughts to ye both,
Mell D
lovely mell d, as you know i have banned myself from mentioning BB over at mine so have come here to do the dirty deed: i say again that the twins have to be put to sleep.
ReplyDeletelaura seems nice AND intelligent.
am afraid i can't bear WI wifey, she moans too much & pees in the shower.
charley is vile.
the one that looks like posh spice seems to be okay, not as dim as she makes out.
and the rest all merge into one big noise, though there's one, the dark-skinned lesbian - nicky? - i like her. she seems intelligent & quirky.
okay, i feel better having got that off my chest.
pony boy, what's the mango jam about? - i am lost x
Morning, lovely NMJ...
ReplyDeleteThat's fine – I like to think of my blog as a place where we can all get down to our base selves and wax lyrical about The People on The Programme.
I watched it – I made myself watch it – last night despite being very, very sleepy. I think the following things:
• The vacuous twins are deeply offensive. They make my skin crawl. The boyz at Nuts must be rubbing their hands and polishing their lenses...
• Nicky seems nice. I like her, too. She seems to actually be playing no game, is intelligent and quite sweet.
• I like Laura a lot – very nice lass, that. I think she is my favourite.
• WI woman is indeed really odd. That peeing was simply vile. I think she is trying to be eccentric. I can't quite get the measure of her. She may be in there just trying to wind them up (she is being successful, I feel). Did Lesley really pee in the shower? Or is it just Charley imagining it/ making it up?
• Chanelle (sp?) is simply a wannabe albeit actually quite sweet in the diary room. I mean. Aspiring to be a WAG? Please, God...
• That girl with the spotty dress/ pink boa – Shaban (??) is awful. She is sooo full of herself. She and Charley make a right pair. I prefer Charley to Shaban, though, and that's saying something.
• The blokey, Ziggy, seems bright. But, to be honest, at that point I had watched BB, Ugly Betty and the update show and was literally nodding of on the sofa. So his introduction was where my viewing ended.
*shakes head*
Cannot believe I know most of their names already...
Pony Boy bought some mango jam when he went to Bantry and thereabouts, isn't that right, TPE? It sounds very nice.
May I recommend guava jam to you both? Have you tried that, NMJ/TPE? It is lovely. Mmm.
x
Yes, that is correct about the mango jam, Mellifluous Dark. Very well done. And yes, you may recommend guava jam to both NMJ and myself.
ReplyDeletePhew.
(I'm just going through your blog, making sure I've not left anything unanswered - this makes me look handsome and caring, I feel).
I'm not going to ask any questions, though, because I need to catch up with you, and can't afford to become embroiled in another word splurge. I would just say, however, that Laura is a nasty piece of work, and I'm hopeful you've changed your mind about her. But we'll get to that, I'm sure.
Right, moving on.......(although it is v. late and my eyes are drooping)
Kind regards and a firm shake of the hand (why not?)
Ponetta
Lordly Prairie Pony,
ReplyDeleteI am unbelievably shocked and flattered that you spent so long going through my blog, just in case... I hope you are sleeping now and that Cork was a good experience. I'm off to Liverpool tonight (work).
As for the Laura person, well, yes, I'm losing patience with her (with all of them in fact).
Firm handshakes all round, Ponetta.
Kindest regards from the lovely Big Old Smoky place
