Wait till they are screaming for their worms for supper, you and Mr Bot and the Newt will need ear plugs

Have you had a nest there before?

If you get one next year you need to get one of those nest box cameras, or a GoPro and leave it running while watching on your TV then you won't disturb them

The door is double glazed so they will have to shout for us to hear them (I hope)

We have had a nest lower down in the jasmine for a few years but this is the first time they have nested on the door sill.

The dog isn't all sure about having a bird coming that close to the glass.

Shh we ain't having a BB discussion :eek: :rotfl:

Him with the 12 million todger won't last long
The Mancunian with the boobies under her armpits is just awful
The posh boy seems OK but they never last long either

I am actually pleased the Tyneside girl didn't get the "People's Choice" place. It really annoys me on these reality shows that they show Northerners to be thick.

Again this year the most Northerly contestant is from Yorkshire, I really am beginning to think the North East and Scotland don't exist

I am still going with Ellie from Yorkshire, she seems pretty "normal" and is the most Northerly contestant. :T

Shhhhhhh we ain't talking about BB

I don't watch BB, although have done a bit years ago. They do seem to have blurred the lines between the celebrity version and "normal" versions now though. Lots of reality TV stars can end up on either CBB or BB. Apparently, there are only 4 or 5 people in this new one who haven't already been on at least 1 other reality tv show already, which sort of defeats the object of sticking together "normal" people.

For example, Ellie was on 2 series of a show called Ibiza Weekender. Three people were on Ex on the beach. Arthur and his family have had at least 4 different reality tv series. Lotan has appeared on TV with his uncle, the dancer Louie Spence. One of them is dating a housemate from a previous series and 3 or 4 of the others have been on other TV shows.

Anyway, sorry completely off topic :rotfl:

I've not won anything, so I shouldn't be here just like to pop in and see what everyone has been winning

Your right they are not "normal" folks in any sense of the word, they have all been there and done it before.

It would be better if they were just unknown nutters like they used to be.

Then again not many of the CBB folks are celebs to me. :eek:

I forgot 12 million quid todger was Louie Spence's nephew. :cool:

I only watch cos I am a nosey bugga, and they make me feel normal :rotfl:

And back on topic.....I have won nowt either

I've just had a notification of a £50 cheque win for my chosen local charity I chose Devon Air Ambulance. Marking it off as my June win, C for cheque and as I had to justify why my chosen charity deserves to win, please could I check with the Newt that i'm allowed to mark off effort competition? Don't want to risk her wrath by doing it without asking ...:o:D

Well done on that and the newt says yes of course you can have that as an effort especially as you don't get to keep the prize.

Well done Missus :T

I personally only donate to two charities The Great North Air Ambulance and Help for Heroes, but we get a lot of "fake" charity bags around here asking for donations/phones/clothing ect and they don't even have a charity number on them

Was the Newt out with Mrs Wine last night? :rotfl::rotfl:

Just heard that I've won a fancy gas bbq worth £599:j so that's June, over £500 and K ticked off.
Can't quite believe it. It's quite funny though, because husband has always said he only liked charcoal bbqs, but now all of a sudden, he can't wait to try a gas one :rotfl:
