Oops! I sort of ‘forgot’ this week’s editorial thanks to the extra long weekend – yesterday being a bank holiday Monday in the UK. Hope you had a good weekend like me. Any way, that’s come and gone so must crack on…if I can remember events from the past few days.
God yeah, it was the hottest day of the year so far last Friday and Big Brother kicked off. Um…indeed. And yeah, I stayed in to watch the opening night, diving behind my sofa at the sight of busty Lesley popping out of her white PVC nurse’s uniform, cringing at Anthony (the 70s dancer who looks like Andy Scott-Lee cross-bred with a crate of tangerines), clapping my hands over my eyes at gobby Vanessa (who boasts she can turn any gay man straight – let her loose on that lot then) and looking on in sheer horror at sex-crazed Sam (the one with the blow job gob – that figures…). And there’s some twonk who calls himself ‘Science’! How come he wasn’t kept in the labs for testing?? I don’t really remember the rest, just seen far too many tits and asses in one night for my liking and they are all hideous to look at!
I like the occupational title Maxwell has…”maintenance engineer”. That means he unblocks toilets, doesn’t it? What about dumbo diva Mokosi – the one who looks like she escaped from that 70s night club, Carwash?! Apparently she’s still a virgin. Not after you kept uncrossing your legs in the diary room, love (!)What a bunch of vacuous tosspots!
The bit that entertained me highly was when scary Mary, the psychic who claims to have been abducted by aliens (so being locked in this house shouldn’t freak her out too much), was waiting for the door to the house to open but had to be told by the voice of Big Brother to push the bloody thing and stop wasting valuable air-time. She’s a sodding psychic – surely she could have predicted that!
So! Back to my life. I had a good weekend, mowed the lawn, went to Tesco (the one right next to the Big Brother house built inside Elstree Film studios) and discovered they’re selling Krispy Kreme donuts – Tesco, not the film studio, I mean. Now I’ve heard good stories about this product, especially since Selfridges (or is it Harrods or both?) started selling them exclusively. Hmm, not exclusive any more obviously. Any way, I couldn’t pick out a great selection because the fridge was practically empty! So, I had to settle for an ordinary strawberry filled donut coated in icing sugar. Not bad but I would have liked to have tried one of the more adventurous flavours. Oh well, a good excuse to go back. Trust me, I do have an interesting life…
Now I do have some serious news so please pay attention. uk-fusion will be moving to a new server very soon so that may mean a delay or our regular service slowing down while we figure out what to do next. Basically we are going to attempt to keep two sites going at once even though you will effectively only see one and not notice any difference. However, I do ask you to be patient and kind to me and my web designer especially as we endeavour to juggle several tasks at once. I’ll be glad when all this is over! My head can’t deal with all this technical jargon.
