Angie Bowie is in the Big Brother house. So is producer David Geste and he was unwell yesterday.
Angie has just come out of the diary room and confided to a thick fellow contestant that 'David is dead'. Comical misunderstandings have followed.
Worth catching even for those who hate the prog.

Most of those programs only actually exist because of the people who watch them to laugh at them and feel smug

BECAUSE in TV land, a viewer is a viewer, so if people just stopped watching car crash tv for the car crashes they would all disappear!

Would be bad losing a dissenting opinion in the EU too, worth having a member that fights that choking bureaucracy.

A lot of the time they're just playing to the Sun readership though.

I like Europe. Ever closer union might reduce our own worst tendencies.

Don't try and shame me, i watch it both as an important social experiment and a fascinating insight into orwellian dystopia.

If he KO's RDA my head will explode.

Mcgregor coming out with the RDA traitor talk, stupid route to go. By all accounts he's one of the nicest people in the sport, McGregor mightn't come out looking too good at end of this. Still tho I agree with you

Zappa /Bowie story . From Adrian Below .

1978 I did my first tour of Europe as "stunt" guitarist and singer for Frank Zappa's band. The night we played in Cologne, Germany unbeknownst to me Brian Eno was in the audience. Brian knew David Bowie was looking for a new guitarist for his upcoming tour. He called David after seeing our show and told David he should come see the guitarist for Frank's band.

The next night we performed in Berlin. There was a part of the show where Frank took an extended guitar solo and most of the band members, including myself, left the stage for a few minutes. As I walked to the back of the stage I looked over at the monitor mixing board and saw David Bowie and Iggy Pop standing there.
Wow! I couldn't believe it!

So I walked over to David Bowie, shook his hand and said, "I love what you've done, thank you for all the music". And he said, "Great, how would you like to be in my band?" I motioned back towards Frank and said, "Well, I'm kind of playing with that guy." David laughed and said, "Yes, I know, but when Frank's tour ends my tour starts two weeks later. Shall we talk about it over dinner?"

David said he would meet me back at our hotel and sure enough when I arrived back at the hotel David Bowie and his assistant Coco Schwab were sitting on a couch in the lobby. As I walked past them they whispered to me, "Get into the elevator, go up to your room, come back down in a few minutes, and meet us outside. we have a car waiting."
It was like something out of a spy film.

When I came back down and went outside there was a black limousine waiting. The driver opened the door and I got in the back with David and Coco. David immediately launched into all this plans for his upcoming tour, the songs we would play, the staging, and so on, and how much he loved my guitar playing! It was so exciting! He said they were taking me to one of his favorite restaurants in Berlin.

How many restaurants are there in Berlin? 25,000?

We arrived at the restaurant, went in the front door, and who should be sitting at the very first table but Frank Zappa and the rest of the band! So the three of us sat down with Frank and the band. David, trying to be cordial, motioned to me and said, "Quite a guitar player you have here Frank."
And Frank said, "F••• you Captain Tom."
(note: Frank had demoted David from Major Tom to Captain Tom.)
David persisted, "Oh come on now Frank, surely we can be gentleman about this?"
Frank said, "F••• you Captain Tom."
By this point I was paralyzed. David said, "So you really have nothing to say?" Frank said. "F••• you Captain Tom."

David and Coco and I got up and went back out the front door. Getting in the limo David said in his wonderfully British way, "I thought that went rather nicely!"

If you pick the 9 she will always be suspicious, pick the solid 7 and you're on to a winner. On that topic it's a true skill to be able to properly judge a 7, too many people drag up 5's and 6's imo.

All bants aside (heaven forbid), find the numbering thing and those who adhere/believe it to be very odd. As if it is a static thing and your 7 is mine, and so forth.

9s are always 9s, but there's vastly more variability around the 5s to 7s based on preference. The other difficulty is extrapolating forward -> is a current 7 with horrific genes based on parent looks worth more than a 5 whose parentage is aging gracefully and possibly even improving with age.

But the supposed 10's or 9's or 'hottest ever'/unbelievable hot that I hear people (college?) guys refer to, are look very much the same, it's just becoming a generic southside tanned slim, lot of makeup, type...look.

Yea, in terms of dating and mating, would be handy to be able to address two things when meeting - or on an app

What sort of vag do you have
Show me a pic of your mother
What is your relationship with your dad like?

Maybe a dating event whereby girls (and a guy equivalent) whereby they had a picture of their vag, and their mother (seperate images ideally).

After all the adulation we heaped upon Bowie yesterday I hereby highlight the shittiest song he's ever done. If ever there was proof needed that he was a designer label for music fans. - This song actually made the charts.

A he had a lot worse than that. I'm still in total shock and mourning. As Doke quoted from somebody "Good God, I feel like all those pathetic Princess Diana people" I was never as committed as Doke in my fandom, though I think it was similar in spirit

Some nice clips on Conan O'Bs bit. Particularly liked his hickory dickory dock

Have a tough call to make now. 5am start for the airport and a 14 hour journey to start a 10 day trip and my mother in law is about to be admitted to hospital in a very weak state.
Not really a choice, I knew this was possible when I organised the trip so I may go ahead.

They're both big dudes but Seymour is built while Wilfork is beefy.

Working my way through the BAFTA nominated movies and have to say Spotlight was superb and just finished The Lobster and wondering have I watched a masterpiece or a complete load of weird shit?

Defo lie in bed and ponder the latter more.

yeah, didn't feel it was you, but then in a thread we were both in he posted a pic of SP yelling at the cloud, and for a brief second thought you might be one and the same.

Almost told him he shouldn't be posting pics of SP everywhere but then thought better of it.

What about trying to find identical twins who are 4.5 each. Slightly below the medium in France should still be doable, the misses wont complain as she wont see a threat and eh twins....

Mate of mine has set up a sort of travel company which only sells UFC fight packages with no flights, i.e. you get your own ass to Vegas and then you can get a fight ticket, hotel room, access to McGregor after party and a UFC t-shirt. Has done quite well out of the Aldo fight already.

He was given 5 $800 tix gratis for selling as many as he did for the Aldo fight and also does boxing with a similar package set up at end Feb for the Quigg-Frampton fight in Manchester. This summer he is running Ibiza and Croatia holiday packages. Hope it all works out for him as at the moment it is all being done off the back the McGregor hype.

Is it too cheeky to ask for his deets?

Do you have to pay up front for the tickets you may or may not receive, or just if you win an allocation?

You'll only have to pay if you win in the lottery. i.e., they don't make you put it aside or whatever its called.

Im back living in Dublin and trying to find a nice modern apartment is a total nightmare. Nobody will rent to me because of my lack of real job/references, and dont care about investment account or bank balances, and even offering to pay like 6 months in advance isn't swaying people.

It seems insane to me. One crowd that had alot of apartments I want would rent to me if a) My dad Signed and guaranteed the contract in his name and b) I paid the whole 12 months in advance. Cant argue with them or use logic or anything, they just dont care

Anybody have any tips on anything for renting in my situation? (no work history or references, but alot of assets) Looking in South Dublin, mostly want to live in Sandyford Industrial Estate / beacon South Quarter area
Using a fake work reference from a friend wont really work I dont think as most places seem to want to see Bank balances with regular payments and even payslips or P60 forms
