It's pretty much spot on, Fed. You might want to comment on Stewpid's becoming Grasshopper to La Kitten's Obi Wan Anarchodi.
I wouldn't mind some feedback for next week's column

And I'm sure she'd let you
I enjoyed it Fed - was it good for you too?
I see you used the phrase:- "About as sincere as Davina McCall."
Do you have something you'd like to spill about La Davina? (Notice I said 'about' not "on'!)

Ooh, controversial 
Harsh but you've hit the nail on the head quite eloquently with some of the housemates and I can imagine you actually saying this.
Have they said what they need for the second article, does it need to be in the same format of an itemised 'verdict' or have you got free reign to let rip.
I think you should focus on the four or five that irritate you just by existing and have a good old rant - it's what you're best at. Write it when inebriated too and throw caution to the wind. If they reject it, post it on here so we can have a good laugh. I'm sure you could knock out an acceptable one in 5 minutes anyway but we'd love to see a bit of unrestrained Federico.

How do you know what Vulcan is, have you been reading it? Or been in it for that matter?
Agree with most of bit about Kitten. Would like to see some expansion on the petulant child theme.
Mostly, I fear about the dangers of spoiling children, bad parenting. etc. etc. etc.
Nothing a few fatal beatings wouldn't have sorted out...
Re Marco - is he the real "camp man"?

I hate the Daily Record. It's so "local" and most of the columnists aren't very good.
Joan Burnie being the worst.
Federico, you should have gone to the Evening Times dude.

I didn't mean local geographically, I meant the "style" of journalism was terrible.
It's a truly awful newspaper. At least some of the journalists on the ET don't write like they are doing so for Bunty.

Either that or you lazy and/or not competent to be a journalist and want other people to do for free the job which you are paid to do.
So lazy and incompetent, you want people to hand ideas to you in a special thread, rather than gaining inspiration by reading the other threads.

Ooooooo kitty likes to scratch. In all honesty my friend I'm an ex BB housemate so i also qualify in the desperate, self obsessed, narcissist stakes. I just wanted to post my column on the forum.

At least that's more honest than underhand plagerism.

I do beleive that the record want me to give my opinions in the main with the 'itemised verdict format'. My Now mag column will be done in a more general synopsis form. The Now mag column is ghost written however (it was the only way they'd allow me to do it) and although I will email them through material they will always have final copy approval. In the main the Daily Record simply cut out my refrences about Ahmed and the Somali civil war conflict and some Black Hawk Down lines. Other stuff that missed the cut I can reword and recycle

think it means he gives his thoughts etc and someone else writes them in a way acceptable to the paper or magazine
In this case it means my column is formed through a series of phone calls and then transcribed by the assigned hack. It certainly beats working for a living
Hiya Fed. After reading the replies, I expected your column to be funnier and packed with more vitriol. It seemed a little tame, although the NADIA comments made me laugh-out-loud and your suspicions about MARCO made me smile.
I think you have interesting views and articulate them well, but you shouldn't hold back so much; I felt like I was reading something subdued, repressed, all the nice pointy edges filed down. You know.
A little work on the grammar wouldn't hurt
PS If there are spelling/grammar mistakes in this reply, they were made purely in the interests of irony

I shall endeavour to meet the lofty targets you set for me. It is censored and a tad repressed but I’m not quite Rupert Murdoch in the clout stakes just yet. I feel it stands up well to any of the generic twattery that any other ex housemate usually serves up though.
Excellent article, good to see an article by an ex HM which treats them as they should be treated. I think you were a little too complementory about Shell but then you probably plan to get into her knickers at a showbiz party so I don't blame you
