We're back...

Hello, if you chance upon this. Damian will be here soon I trust. To update: Celebrity Big Brother starts tomorrow. Ulrika will be in the House, so they say. She's been paid a fortune to be there, apparently so she can tell us about her love life. Don't we know about this already? I think Celebrity BB might benefit from the cold and people staying in, cleaving to their TV sets for warmth. The House is very luxorious too apparently. It was nice to see Chantelle on BBC Breakfast this morning saying - well - still the same few words ("It was really good fun, I loved it") that she has said ever since winning back in 1974, or that's what it feels like. Ah, George Galloway pretending to be Rula Lenska's cat. Halcyon days. This year: names vaunted so far... Verne Troyer (Mini-me in Austin Powers), Lucy Pinder (glamour model), Tommy Sheridan, Ulrika of course, ex-boybander Ben Adams, Paul Michael Glaser from Starsky and Hutch... in short, not exactly hands in the air in sheer delight territory just yet.
