I was in fact offline watching 15-1(nice to see Jim put those eyes in for nothing), but I may well have been speechless even if I was still about.

So you weren't in the diary room? Or harrassing the chickens?
RSVP: Yes please, I want to come!
BobTheFarmer Posted Dec 6, 2002
You actually watch 15-1 B?
As for Big Brother, Im thinking of trying to get in the next one, I've never watched it, cant stand that type of tele. But theres money and the chance of action with a fit celebrity when I come out, well before I get forgotten about anyway...
RSVP: Yes please, I want to come!
Mu Beta Posted Dec 6, 2002
I don't exactly hate Big Brother, but I'm fed up with having to talk about it for 3 months of the year (+ celebrity editions), and was hoping to relish a bit of BB down-time.
I like 15-1, and yesterday's was a bit of a monumental episode, as any big fan could tell you.

Michael Penrice, a ten-year veteran of the show, who always wears brightly-coloured shirts and bow ties for some reason, got knocked out in the second round, and now can't re-appear for another 5 years.
Mind you, he didn't know the difference between an alternator and a distributor, so I don't have much sympathy.

5 Years! What is he going to do next? Try Water Colour Challenge?
I have to say I went off 15-1 after Edward G Robinson started using it as a platform for his political views.
We should keep the Elgin Marbles just to annoy him! Or return him to Athens instead!

Put me down as a maybe, probably, hopefuly, it comes down very much to being a week before payday...

Please could I go on the list.?
Assuming I don't end up getting a job too far from London before the meet, I'm a definite, and I'll update that if circumstances change.

I thought you might like to know what is happening in the afternoon.
Some Researchers have mentioned going ice skating at Somerset House. If you want to go ice-skating, you can find booking details at the Somerset House website. The more culturally minded can join Abi on her 'Cultural Tour of Holborn', calling in at historical points of interest and hot chocolate shops and culminating in a visit to Sir John Soame's museum in Lincolns Inn Fields. This is one of London's best loved museums and really is worth a visit. If all this sounds too much like hard work, then why not exercise your brain in the h2g2 Board Games Challenge? This is to be held in as yet unspecified pub, and will include the h2g2 Top Trumps Challenge.
