The Famous Five go Walking.


There is a certain appeal to joining the boys on a walk over the Brecon Beacons. Mostly to do with camaraderie and male bonding. In the event I had too much work on and didn't fancy breaking in a brand new pair of walking boots on a seven mile hike.
Ed was so caught up in the whole camaraderie thing that he offered to make everyone a curry on our first twelve hour shift back today.
He called up Nillips and asked him to dish up.
Unfortunately for Ed, Nillips assumed the chef had taken his portion first. Ed didn't find out until the other four had polished off their inflated shares.

I haven't been watching Celebrity Big Brother, so I can't comment on weather Jade Goody is part of a racist or bullying ring against that very pretty Bollywood actress what'serface. I'm sure Jade, whose career is precariously based on being ordinary and natural in front of the camera with an endearing ignorace of just about everything, would be horrified to know she's being vilified in the press both here and in India and that her antics have sparked an international incident, with questions being asked in the house (Commons not Big Brother).
My suspicion is that she's unwittingly playing out some known sociological phenomena that the BB producers should already be aware of. It's ironic that she's one of the most famous of the celebrities and only so for winning the plebs Big Brother.
What the poor girl doesn't realise, is that bullying is only acceptable, and even encouraged, on reality TV shows, if it's being performed by us, the viewing public, on victims in some God forsaken part of an Australian Jungle.

Isn't 'male bonding' just straight talk for 'shagging each other roughly up the arse'?





Drat! The Host's been at the cooking sherry again.

IDV-You could well be right.

Awaiting- I can see the S.I.D. influence. It scared us too that's why we bullied her. That and her going into a jungle when she has a phobia about touching trees.

I always thought that Jade Goodie was a bit young to be hanging out with Tim Brooke-Taylor, Bill Oddie and Dr. Graham Garden.

And she always had trouble leaning in the same direction on the tandem bicycle.

Why have you pixellated their eyes -are they ALL well known gays? Im guessing Elton John and David Furnish - Michael Barrymore and Martin Clunes..

Jade - by the way - is only about 75% human - which accounts for everything. Her mother is half radioactive howler monkey. Her Grandfather was a pure bred Bridport Blue Baboon!

Not gay, they're wanted for howler monkey smuggling.

So what's Nat' Appletons origins then?

Even under the grey pixels Max Cady looks quite fit - or does pixillaton become him?

Have never seen BB so can't comment. But having had my best mate who is Indian ignored in shops while the sales assistant serves me first. Big mistake, huge, she is way richer than me. There are a scary number of people who don't have to be scratched very deep to reveal a nasty racist biggot. Add to which that Shilpa is the only looker in a house full of dogs and there you have it.

Sorry, I HAVE been watching Celebrity Big Brother, and no, it's not racism just school-yard bitching and ignorance. Jade herself was bullied badly for being of mixed race.

Shilpa herself is unintentially annoying. Having lived a life of priviledge and wealth she does talk down to people and the silly mare can't even make her bed! "I have servants for that sort of thing"!

I find it ironic that the India Government is carping on about racism. India itself is one of the most racist, polarized countries on earth - get born in the wrong caste and you'll be shovling shit for the rest of your life. Guaranteed. There is no way out.

You are right Mr F - Jade is basically obnoxious and hyper and the others go along with her like her posse. I like Shilpa basically because she is very gorgeous and I like a bit of posh..

I had words to share in comment to your post, but the pics at the end scared the bejeezus outta me.

And what group of handsome, eyeless men!

Lippy- Max Cady is all smoldering Italian good looks. I have to agree that Shilpa is guilty of being blatantly pretty

Frobisher- That's what I suspected, Schoolyard bitching. Let's be honest she's not the sharpest pin in the cusion.

Mutleythedog- Shilpa definately top totty.

I- The picture at the end is of Natalie Appleton from the girl band Atomic Kitten. She exhibited weekness at the start of the reality TV show, "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here." consequently the British public voted for her to have the grimmest time. Bullies we are.
And the boys are all very good looking. If the steelworks closes we're all going to do a 'Full Monty'.

Wasn't Natalie Appleton in All Saints? That trogolodyte Kerry Katona was in Atomic Kitten - and a lot more fun it was then, too!

Just had a closer look at Max, after Lippy's prompting: He does look fit.

Quick! Nobody buy steel then we get to see him starkers!

You could well be right about Nat', not exactly my field of expertise.

Pip Nillips was a bodybuilder, Max Cadey and Councillor both ex-professional rugby players.

you must promise to give us folks overseas plenty of advanced notice when you strapping gents are going to stage a Full Monty.

Oh, and what a beautiful place that was for a hike. Nice.
