From a website wot I found:

During Pre-Revolutionary America when the song "Yankee Doodle" first became popular, the word macaroni in the line that reads "stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni" didn't refer to the pasta. Instead, "Macaroni" was a fancy and overdressed ("dandy") style of Italian clothing widely imitated in England at the time. So by just sticking a feather in his cap and calling himself a "Macaroni", Yankee Doodle was proudly proclaiming himself to be a country bumpkin (an awkward and unsophisticated person), because that was how the English regarded most colonials at that time.

WHATM - Nadia called to the DR

VoR

Thank you. A previous poster told us to put the 4th in our diaries which I did. Can't recall now whether this was for two evictions but think it could be as there are going to be two separate programmes that night. Or perhaps one is for announcement and one for eviction.

Dan's singing... He's in the WA while Nadia is in the DR...

Good work VoR! Very Interesting... I had heard a similar story

Ok, this is were I've got to leave it for now...

See you all later

No need to insult the humble gnats now...2 days to go..hopefully.

Clots..that makes it hotter..it is milk or yogurt you drink t ease the heat of curry...

Thats it Michelle -Dig,dig,dig and in you fall ..

jason in loo, Michelle in WA snogging Stu and saying "I really want to cuddle you up tonight". Shell with her back to them looking uncomfortable.

Nadia in DR, Dan in WA singing to himself.

Might not one of them be the 'catch up' show and the other the evictee interview?

Still waiting to see if I've got tickets for it. Have had an email confirmation of booking, but no call as yet, so might be on reserve list.

Bookmaker on EForum says this weeks betting is gonna be a bigger turnaround than Victor's last week!

Yeah he would..after all he likes Michelle...need one say more..?

Jason says " This task is so .......f'ing awful having THREE people chained to you all the time" ...( I made that last bit up)

He doesn't he is on auto pilot.

Dunno know but he was about 17 in that TV Jump Street thingy...

You are returning for out late pm chats..?

HM's to sofa-task results ????

Re next rounds of voting..I do not care that much so long as Michelle is out this Friday..after that if pushed I would say Stuart, then J,then Shell then Nadia,winner Dan....tho I expst Nadia will...damn...

Bet you that the moment they can unchain, Michelle will grab Stuart and run to the bedroom/private place for a 'cuddle' within about two minutes. Reestablish control, before Stuart can become a free man again.

Mouth to food trough back later....

For some reason, OK magazine thinks there are only going to be 3 left on the final night and a few weeks ago on BBLB Dermot made reference to three HM for the final night, thought he'd made a mistake but maybe there will be 3 evictions before then.

LOL he he he he he..naturally



(ducks just in time....)

BBsays -Task Complete

WHATM - looking good for them to pass all the tests...will they tell them that they are all up for nomination straight afterwards??

Good grief it's going to take BB 3 days to tell them whether they passed or failed each day!!!
