Well, its nearly that time of year again - time to find a cross section of society* and portray it in the worst way possible.

The logo reminds me of the test card.


*not a society that any normal person will have experienced tho.

Have you actually heard our eurovision song? Its like Aqua on LSD. I've seen them a few times on various TV shows and they're yet to sing it live.

The worst we've ever had, IMHO.

LOL.

Check yer inbox fer hecks sake, I've left some news articles about things that are coming to an end like the cassette etc, please do read, I'll not bother again..

Oh and Z, the test card makes a brilliant return in Life on Mars, if the 2 DVDs of both series I have bought were like a crime scene then I would enjoy going over them with a fine tooth comb.

It's more of a Steps-type bilge isn't it?

Will we have a new Prime Minister by Eurovision, because that seemed to work the last time we won it. The only other chance of victory I reckon, will be if the entire of the UK mysteriously re-locates to Eastern Europe!

Well, this must be the shortest that a thread has stayed on topic?

Thrown off by the second line of the first post.

I like that.

The test card used to scare me. Still does a bit. Can't quite explain why, just found it kinda eerie.

Big Brother...does anyone actually watch it anymore? I haven't seen it since series 4 which was the era of Cameron - remember him?

He was a nothing kind of chap wasn't he. My favourite season, if you can call it that was the one with Kate Lawler, Jade and co. Iwas watching it in labour i seem to remeber; it momentarily distracted me.

I saw him in Edinburgh Airport last year.

On a related note, I saw Alex Salmond this morning. He really is an ugly looking sod.

Alex Salmond on Big Brother - perhaps a possibility for the future as the producers slowly get more desperate. I wonder how he would have got on with Gearge Galloway?

Everyone I know watches it too - but it still hasn't made me lower myself into that particular pit of mediocrity.

I hardly watched it at all last year, but I still seemed to know exactly what was going on. The same goes for that celebrity nonsense earlier this year.

I literally never saw a single episode last year and yet somehow I too knew the names of most of the contestants and what was going on in the house. It gets so much coverage on other TV, radio, magazines etc that you'd have to live in a cave with the curtain drawn to avoid it.

Despite this, I worked at an ice rink in the city centre over xmas/new year and when there was a huge fuss about someone called 'Lisa from Big Brother' (I think they take that as their new surname after the show) arriving to skate and everyone wanting autographs etc, I was pleased to say that I had absolutely no idea who she was. Wouldn't have known her if I'd tripped (or skated in this case) over her.

It's a permanent downside of the summer, like flys, wasps and pollution levels.

And the fact that everytime Channel 4 have a reality show on, E4 becomes utterly pish, no E4 music etc.

I don't think there's even any Russell Brand action this year either is there. He must have developed a little sense and deserted the sinking ship.

He's in Hawaii (as his radio show podcasts mention 8million times per podcast) making movies.
