Great to see the thread bounding along still near the top of the AT front page. And I gather the big news here is that one of our regulars is now on twitter
![]() ![]() - who better suited than an FM whose DS posts would probably transfer neatly without needing to use twitlonger!! ![]() Alex still favourite to win at the bookies, but I can't see beyond an Aaron win given the obsessive nature of his fanbase (and facebook voting * 6). The main chance Alex had of winning disappeared I think when Jay survived to the final, as those two will now split the anti-vote. Those conspiracy theorists who think BB is anti-Aaron should ponder on why they didn't target Jay more if that were really the case. I also see that the ratings have fallen off a bit once Anton left at end of week 7. Haven't seen any news from John, other than soccer (yawn!). Just as an aside, I'm finally starting to warm a little towards Josie on the BOTS quiz . . . now that she's stopped being so full of herself/pushy and seems finally to realise her own limitations by comparison with the likes of Jamie and Alice who do have genuine quick wit and intellect. And nice to see Jamie publicly gave her due credit after the last episode of the quiz. I must be going soft! ![]() ![]() I'm still getting far more entertainment following Rebeckah instead of BB12, but I'll pop back here shortly with the best ever episode of Mood Indigo's genius from BB11. Hi Alex, good to hear from you, I think the mood at C5 has mellowed towards Aaron slightly, now he has more of a chance to win..... and Josie is Josie, im sure there is a pleasant side to her somewhere, but she is very much a product of her upbringing..... I think it will suit her to be less high profile and have to be a bit more honest about what she does.....but trust you to like her more on her last episode...contrary to the last!!! and yes no news from John. I dont think he will ever be coming back... never mind we can still think of him as some semi mythical creature...who can do no wrong... ![]() and he does have some lovely photos!!-

Not on this occasion though - she changed for the better (as the show went on) and so my view adjusted to reflect that. Shame she had too high an opinion of herself at the start, until reality came home so that by the end she was playing more to her strengths. ps - sorry for bounced PMs, I've cleared down inbox now |

Morning all. On a course of steroids now..
Lovely thoughts about John augusta. Beginning to think we ought to do a John James alumni club as news is so scarce. Good to see Lena and Alex back on the thread. We do miss you Alex. Off to tackle my ironing mountain! Have a good day everyone. |

Forgot to thank georgy for taking the rehearsals.
Sorry I couldn't make it to the pub but don't think you'd want me coughing into my scotch and soda. Norman is a bulldog and I do want to publicly thank augusta for taking care of him. He seems better mannered these days. Do you think we should dress him up as an angel for our tableau? I still have my angel's crown from high school. |

Magpies and squirrels are the bane of my existence. We also seem to get bumps in the lawn from flying ants' nests - YUCH! Can't seem to get rid of them. Thinking of digging up lawn and turning it into vegetable and flower beds.

Isn't that pretty much the way we're going anyway? Would hate to lose anyone if we changed the thread title or overall focus though. Hope the steroids do their job and you're feeling better x
