    hows that

    Very good, however, in my observations - having no discernible skill or talent would appear to be an advantage in this situation. :rotfl::rotfl:

    What does 'celebrity' mean these days?

    In the case of Big Brother, it's usually someone who once 'had a life', spent or lost everything, and needs the £40k 'appearance fee'. :rolleyes:

    I am so glad that not only is it the last series, but also that my daughter no longer lives at home so we won't be forced to watch every episode. ;)
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    I

    If you add "no discernable talent, skill or personality" to the above, I think that's a pretty fair summary of all the "celebrities" who are going to be on this one..... Can't stand the programme (or Davina McCall actually!) so really glad the whole thing is being consigned to the dustbin :j

    OK, rant over, sorry! Hope you're all well today and managing to stay warm, it's bloomin' freezing here today....
