And James you do it again...you are becoming a bit of a hero on this thread for finding clips.

She's in and out - been shopping with her daughter and then off for dinner this evening! Social butterfly I call her!

How's you Miss Amy?

Afternoon, all!

Hope everyone's well. Have been trying to catch up with all the news but lost all my quotey things when the threads changed! In summary:

- Once again HUGE thanks to everyone who's still busy posting new clips, vids and links - like others, I'd never see half of these things without you and it is much appreciated. Special thanks to James32 for digging up the elusive 'Josie wants a Hat' clip - heard so much about it but never thought I'd get to see it for myself!

- I am still so interested in reading people's analysis of various past events (eg Crabgate, various discussions, JJ's jealousy etc), both the ones I saw and those I didn't. It's fascinating to learn more, not only about the development of JJJ's relationship but also about people in general. I do think that one of the main reasons BB11 appealed to so many new viewers this year is that, with a mix of good casting (no obvious freaks etc), fundamentally decent people (for the most part, at least) and great chemistry (a lot of luck here since that's the one thing you really can't manufacture), it revealed so much about the complexities of human nature and interaction. It's interesting that the majority of people who appreciate that seem to be on this thread or at least on one of the AT's, whereas Out There >>>> they are still busy moaning about BB11 and discussing all the changes that should be made if BB moves to C5 - most of which, predictably, include upping the elements of punishment, gameplay and general pressure. Why? I think I can confidently say I wouldn't want to watch any programme they might produce so I can only hope that C5 isn't listening to them, lol!

- I do actually love the people on this thread. I've said it before but it bears saying again. There is so much compassion, humour, empathy and genuine goodness to be found here - it makes me proud to be (a very little, rarely posting) part of it! The CLIC fundraising is just one example of JJJ AT greatness - huge congrats and thanks to Zenscara/Vicky for all the organisation and immense hard work you've done on all of our behalf. You definitely deserved to be recognised in their article and fingers crossed the total will keep on rising!

- The two regrets I have are that 1) I spent the early HL-only days watching Shabby & Caoimhe more than the others and 2) I did not get LF sooner! I am particularly kicking myself because I was fairly ill over the summer and spent much of it housebound and in need of none-too-taxing entertainment - LF would have been the perfect distraction! I finally found out about it while Andrew Stone was in the house and signed up then. I really would love to see some of what I missed, so if anyone does have one of those mythical PM's containing a link to any live feed archives, I'd be really grateful if you could send me one!

- On that subject, three clips that I, like others, would still love to see are the long sock-ball game between JJJ, the first time Josie wore the black dress and the evening she was in the pool wearing the leather jacket with JJ and the rest of the boys. Googling (both for this and for LF archives) has not been fruitful for me so far. Has anyone else had any success?

Apologies for another mammoth post - will keep it brief(er) next time!

Im so pleased for you Zenscara and you totally deserve the recognition. Well done

Thank you for this, James! You're a star!

She was only in there a couple of days but she deffo made an impact, they can't seem to stop talking about her:

16:13 Ulrika, Brian and Victor turn on to the topic of BB11 winner and Ultimate Big Brother escapee Josie. They all predict that she and Nadia would not have got along with each other, with Victor going so far as to say that a row between the two could have been "one of the all time biggest beat-downs on Big Brother".

You are spoiling us!!! Now what about the game of catch on day 15? HA!

Fine thank you, although work has rather bitten back at me this week. It obviously felt I was neglecting it...

Glad Linny is around but not posting. Somehow comforting and yet peaceful

How are you? Full of beans and the joys of the world?

Your welcome. You've had it much tougher than most.
I was lucky that I met Mr Red just at the start of me getting M.E both of us were completely in the dark about it and couldn't uderstand what on earth was wrong the first 2 years. But the right guy wont care about ill health and will like you for you not based on some dating Ad, he needs to know,understand and love the bad as much as the good.

Luck us we live in an internet age where ou dont have to be cut off even at home, you have the whole world at your finger tips so dont hold back and join in with it all.

Can someone please explain to me what all this actually meant. I am still perplexed.

Hey all.

Yay Part 33. Think this one might not last too long what with the webchat tonight

Anyone else having trouble with twitter? JJ's tweets are only there from last night, no new ones up. Same with Dave and JJ2

You well deserve the mention!!! Any idea's on how non twitter users can help more?

oooh it was rumouredat the start that Helen would be going in but not until later.

That would be fun - I loved helen and brian together. hilarious. the stupid leading the daft.

Hi Violet,

Sorry to hear you've been ill over the summer, I hope you're feeling better now?

You do realise that you're sending john james sized amounts of self-questioning into the thread?
We're all thinking: am I one of the compassionate ones? Or do I have humour??
I'm also going have to look harder for the genuinely good FMs

and me too please xx

That first one should come with a warning.

that's awesome sweet, well done to everyone for donating and you for setting it up. You and everyone involved should be very proud, it's an awesome charity

James your truly fab!

James these clips are amazing, i saw them on LF before but it's great to see them again. It would be great if you could find the dinner and kareoke party from the night of steve's birthday and the day after when John said Josie looked smokin in her black dress. I was in london when this happened and never saw the LF.

What are you confused about?

That was a brilliant clip James Thank you

i didn'tget the fuss with regards to Aisleyne. I just found her a bit meh.

I have a terrible headache - I don't get them generally, but when I do, I do. I don't really pop pills either..so riding it out. Maybe a glass of wine would help?

However, I am, as ever, 1/2 full of beans - am I aggravating? I think perhaps I must be...........................

I didn't think she was great but she is better than Vanessa Feltz for me lmaoo!

Violet - have you read the early threads? There was sooo much analysis then and sharing of feelings/ideas relating to these two.

I, for one, don't really do that now - but a couple of times was eloquent in my posting.

Unfortunately since the kids have been off, I have been reduced to mindless drivvle.........................

I'm sorry you've been poorly - are you better now?
