    Infact, my view on BB this year, I think it is wrong that they have put a person from another reality show in, a ex-BBC reporter and a few others, it should be 'normal' none celebrity people in there, just my point of view. (Am watching it on 1hr catch-up BTW)

    Whilst researching ideas for the house I can across this...

    A lady . . .

    1 Finds laughter is the best medicine

    2 Can say ‘thank you’ no matter where she is in the world

    3 Cooks perfect, crispy roast potatoes

    4 Offers to split the bill

    5 Knows that everyone, including herself, improves with age

    6 Offers the builder a cup of tea

    7 Excels at making love, lasagne and long gin and tonics

    8 Can silence a man with a stare and make a dog lie down with a hand signal—and vice versa

    9 Can imitate Piglet and Pooh voices for a bedtime story

    10 Prefers Mr Knightley to Mr Wickham, but is secretly in love with Rupert Campbell-Black

    11 Never downs a drink in one, unless it’s a shot of tequila

    12 Is aware that the school run and dog walking do not require full make-up

    13 Never wears shoes she can’t walk in

    14 Knows when a man is spoken for

    15 Can paunch a rabbit, pluck a pheasant and gut a fish, but allows men the privilege

    16 Remembers her godchildren’s birthdays

    17 Knows songs for a long car journey

    18 Is neither early for a dinner party nor late for church

    19 Doesn’t over-pluck her eyebrows

    20 Knows how to deflect a lecher with grace, and a proposal with kindness

    21 Comforts nervous flyers

    22 Would never have Botox

    23 Knows when to let a man think it’s his idea

    24 Would never own a handbag dog

    25 Can tie—and untie—a bow tie

    26 Might not understand the rules of rugby and cricket, but enjoys the game anyway

    27 Knows when to take control in the bedroom and the boardroom

    28 Knows the difference between Bentley & Skinner and Baddiel and Skinner

    29 Instills manners in her children, but lets their characters flourish

    30 Knows when to deadhead a rose

    31 Is never afraid to overdress

    32 Can handle a sports car, a sit-on mower and a ski lift

    33 Knows when to stop dyeing her hair

    34 Teaches her son to iron his shirts and her daughter to change a fuse

    35 Owns a little black dress

    36 Always has a hanky

    37 Knows that ‘brevity is the soul of lingerie’

    38 Has kissed several frogs and made them feel like princes

    39 However lucky in life, she doesn’t boast on Facebook


    With this criteria I am not sure if I am a lady!!!

    I know what you mean, but they give a good opportunity to shout at the TV.

    Not the most exciting deal, but I just preordered the new Harry Potter script book - The Cursed Child. Via QC and Ts Direct you can get 1.5% cashback, one of those coin things and an additional 100 CC points.

    You know you're getting old when you can be bothered to queue up at midnight anymore :rotfl:
