    It's because we were exploiting a loophole in C4's site that allowed us to connect for free at the weekend but when I try get back onto it on here I gotta pay for it now :rolleyes:

    It's all M.E.2's fault for posting a video link in the Arms ;) ... which I stupidly clicked without realising what it was and it lost me my connection :doh:

    I'm just keeping my fingers crossed the other PC keeps on playing and I don't get a powercut or anything, although I'm not sure it will endure 11 weeks of uptime to keep the connection ;)


    What I really need is a laptop as well as the other PC is in the next room and although I can hear it i have to keep dashing in there for any juicy bits :rotfl: ... I daren't try running MSE on it, or anything else, at the same time in case I crash it :D

    11 weeks? You're not watching one of those live cams waiting for a foal to be born in New Zealand like my neighbours are you?

    Juicy bits? There haven't been any juicy bits so far, just loads of stereotypes who's mothers haven't taught them any manners or life skills as far as I can tell:mad:

    I think we should launch a campaign to get them onto this board & teach them :

    a) how to meal plan
    b) how to make a shopping list & add it up correctly
    c) how to organize housework to minimize effort & get the most out of your cleaning products
    d) how to be polite to other human beings, even those you disagree with!

    Sorry, will get off of soap box, I am a BB fan really & no doubt will mellow torwards the latest lot of social mis-fits over the next couple of weeks but so far I really do feel it's goine from being an interesting AND entertaining social experiment (all be it with little actual scientific basis) to a broadcasting platform for societys worst failures.

    I'll get me coat.............
    Post Natal Depression is the worst part of giving birth:p

    In England we have Mothering Sunday & Father Christmas, Mothers day & Santa Clause are American merchandising tricks:mad: Demonstrate pride in your heirtage by getting it right please people!

    No Lillibet, I agree. OH was flicking the other day and I saw some pretentous woman with big hair screeching that she absolutly *must* have her Cherry Tango. :mad:

    Couldn't help shouting at the telly 'for gods sake, nobody give her anymore e-numbers!!!' also started moaning about meal planning and how they'd have loads more money if they just left the fish fingers out and bought tinned tuna and bread. OH soon changed the channel, LOL :D

    I do agree they should all have had some basic lessons from MSE before entering the house, especially from us Old Styler's :rotfl:


    I do think though, that for those that aren't as sad as me to have 24 hr access to it :o ... that a lot is lost in the hour long programme on an evening, leaving viewers a bit confused as to what's really going on in there, so I can fully understand why it might not appeal so much, but I actually think it's one of the better BB's so far than in recent years ;)



    PS this Zinfandel is very yummy!!!!!! :j
