But Ya Are In The Chair!

You are, I hope, seated with a glass of something stabilising and are ready for yet more BB-SM antics?  I am already staring into the bottom of a bottle. Forgive me.

Having copped out of Celebrity Draize Eye Test we're given a semi-educational format which promises to give nice young people the chance to show off their nice young talents (and C4/E4 a chance to make good for Shilpa-Gate and the N-Word nastiness).

Call me old, call me bitter, call me old and bitter but these uber-overachievers make me want to smack them.  For health and safety reasons I wouldn't smack the hot boxer.  But I would give him my phone number (though I fear this may be just as dangerous).  The official E4 mugshot of the racing driver shows a Potter-a-like child dressed for work experience in a plastics factory in an already-shiny suit.  Racing driver? With a provisional driving license? (SO BOOED ON THE WAY IN!).  I truly thought the red-head proto-politico was a lesbian straight from the 70s (my favourite flavour).  But no.  Speaking as a Scot, why must the Scots we see on telly (the various Kirstys excluded) be be-kilted gingers? (AND WHAT WAS WITH THE DUMB 'MCJOCK' HAT?)  The brother and sister 'circus' act promise, with the addition of ping pong balls and rollerskates, to take us far beyond the wrongness of Same Difference.

Warning: this is what happens to over achievers!

This is James Harries (child genius antique 'expert' who famously appeared on Wogan).

This is Lauren Harries (James after 30 years of 'fame'). 

Note Baby Jane Hudson is holding Shirley Temple.

This show is tantamount to child cruelty and yet, I fear, not cruel enough. As for the celebs.  I refuse here and now to add any more fuel to the Jimmy Carr fire.  Unless we're talking actual petrol and actual flames.   Sitting comfortably?

it is good, so very good, to be back. MWAH HA HA HAH HA! Daphne, Gabs, Hans (?), Stoat, jessica, Joolz and...oh, such a happy family. Tim and Gerry have the most darling children.

Enough with the Gerry and Tim LIES!(they are lies,aren't they?). I'm interested to see what Caitlin says about the totty. She wants to shag a 12 year old cartoon boy. But not until he's older. Obviously. I'm a Gethin from Blue Peter type of gal myself. This programme beter make up for my SCD withdrawl.

And very nice to see you, Damian and Tim, and of course all the other stalwarts of this BB blog. I have indeed managed to tune in the Channel 4 digital offshoots and hope that twat of a neighbour doesn't decide to play with his unsuppressed Black & Deckers tonight. I am indeed relaxing with a glass ... OK, a bottle of plonk and a Lindt chocolate reindeer left over from Christmas.

On the subject of the fabulous Lauren, I think that leotard thingie she's wearing in the last pic. is cut a little too high - I'd hate to see what it looks like from behind. Self-inflicted 'wedgie'?

Thank God I get to stare at Dermot's jeans for an hour instead of Davina's array of smug black outfits.
Things are already looking up.

Joy of joys, BB is back! And the Times Blog, yay!

Shame about the alpha type 'yoof' theme, there's nothing to like about those poor deluded bundles of vanity. Bring back the useless wannabes! Here's hoping they come to blows - that house isn't big enough for so many colliding egos.
