Cold Turkey on Big Brother.
Is there any point in blogging?
Is it worth worrying about the state of the nation?
You know something important is happening when a Sunday Newspaper updates on a Thursday – and garners 150 outraged comments in as many minutes.
It is – North Korea hasn’t nuked us yet, the Queen hasn’t abdicated…….
Nope, ‘Big Brother’ is cutting its 24 hour coverage of the terminally boring and insanely dumb programme down to a mere 7 hours a day.
And the silent masses of under trodden workers are outraged, beside themselves, risen up in arms I tell you.
’strewth!

Must be all those generational benefit scroungers. It must have become a way of life for them. After all, they only exist from day to day, much easier to live your life through someone else then get off your backside and live your own!
I’ve never watched the programme but have caught them all sleeping during my occasional bout of insomnia.
I was beginning to wonder whether people were being hypnotised with subliminal messages during transmission!

7 hours too many in my opinion. Idiots.

Am I alone in that I can honestly (and that’s not a word in too much use at the moment) claim never to have viewed Big Brother or the get me out of the jungle version?
In much the same way that I’ve never watched East Enders, Coronation Street, (except when I was very young and impressionable), Emmerdale…you name it!!

I’ve seen it. More than once in fact. I expect I’ll see some of it this year too.

Nicholas Parsons Knows, it would be a bad career move to go on celebrity Big Brother.

A national bloody disgrace!!
An urgent meeting with the Business Secretary, Herr Mandelscope, has been arranged during which the exact nature of this dire situation will be discussed.
A spokeman was heard to say “WE will endeavour to do all we can to save the programme, although having gone digital we can no longer claim film costs”
A competitor said “Oh, my, how can this be happening?”
Obama said “what the fu…..???”
This is Susannah Reid (unbiased and declaring no licence fee involvement) handing you back to the studio…..

I was a bit appalled this morning when the short bit of BBC News 24 I watched was taken up by discussion about contestants on Britain’s Got Talent and the exciting news that one or more of them was visiting the studio to be interviewed.
Huh?
