I really shouldn’t talk about Celebrity Big Brother. I am not intersted at all. Although I do have to say that I was with Tom on the subject of Preston winning (if my mum is reading this then Preston is a person and not the place). Anyway, he didn’t win which may just turn out to be the crime of the century. On the other hand a non-Celebrity, Chantelle, did win (which, at least, stopped Barrymore from taking the crown – although I think he will try). Obviously, readers of this site are interested in the finer points of her win (or should I say ‘hair win’). Over at Man of The Moment, Julie-Anne wants to offer Chantelle ‘a free set of hair extensions … he ones she has are dreadful’. ‘Nuff said.

2004: Company Update
2003: Pop

If I am not mistaken, today is Mark Owen’s birthday. He released a new single earlier this month, Hail Mary, from the album How The Mighty Fall. Want to wish Mark a Happy Birthday or congratulate him on the news that he will be a father in the summer [news here] then hope over to Man of the Moment and leave us a comment.

Now that the boys are approaching 30 I wonder how they will cope with the stresses of the new tour? Surely, being a boyband hearthrob is a young man’s game. I would have thought so.

2003: Selfish Commuters

What fun. Walking round central London this morning I see that we are getting into the spirit of Australia Day too – although The Glassblower is off by 24 hours and probably the same number of degrees colder.

From Flickr: Today is the day all Australian’s celebrate ‘what’s great‘ about their country: Australia Day. Central London appears to be celebrating tomorrow. Shame it won’t be the as warm with an ‘Aussie BBQ’ on the beach. Now, if Gordon Brown gets his way, can I be in Sydney when they celebrate British Day?

So, who’s going to be the Home & Away special appearance?

No, no, no. I am not turning this site into one of those sites. Still, I want this story to be true because it amuses me. Teentoday – the uk’s best teen site (probably) – reports that ‘David Beckham spends a staggering £1,000 a month – on pants. The soccer ace allegedly splashes out hundreds of pounds on underwear every fortnight because he never wears the same pair twice’. Honestly, they’re saying it here. Really.

2004: A User Experience

I’ve said before how much I love the ‘on this day’ links on my site. They remind me of things that I had forgotten. Take yesterday’s link which sent me back two years to 2004 when I discussed the idea of civil partnerships. Well, by the end of 2005 they were a reality in the UK. Really, I’m tracking history aren’t I?

They call it Celebrity Big Brother‘. I want to start a new game today. Can you actually spot the celebrity in the show? I see there’s a lot of people who would quite like to be a celebrity but I haven’t spotted a real one yet. Apparently, they can be quite shy and you have to look really hard. If you see one then please don’t hesitate to let me know. Seriously, we all like to moan that a show like this is full of people we have never heard of but often we don’t really mean that. Now, I am addicted to TV trash as much as the next person, and I still think this is one of the most poor showings ever. Thus, I imagine, it will be a huge hit and they’ll all be signed up for a season of commercials, talkshows and pantomimes before January’s finished.

Still, Preston might be worth watching.

2003: LBC Back On Air

Apparently there’s a series of Big Brother – the one with some celebrities – starting this evening. Unless there’s somebody very interesting on the show I won’t be watching it but I do know y’all will be heading over the Man of The Moment section to check out who’s saying what about everybody’s BB fave, Dermot O’Leary. According to something I read, his show is moving to the mornings. My morning’s are so rushed as I gear up into the day that it’s unlikely that I’ll see any of it.
