Of course my dad said - don't be ridiculous we are sleeping in the front bedroom. Just at that point the wooden pelmet dropped down from the window and smashed a load of plant pots that was on the window sill.

So my dad went through to get a brush and dustpan to clear the mess up. He was just walking into the kitchen when he turned and said - "we're still sleeping in the front bedroom". Just as he said this he switched on the kitchen light. The bulb immediately exploaded and smashed into smitherings. He turned around and said without changing expression and said - "we'll sleep in the back bedroom."”

i would have run out the front door

so who slept in the front room then???? anyone?

She thought it was one of her sisters and she said - "he hasn't had a bad night. Do you want a coffee - I'll put the kettle on". She went into the kitchen to make a coffee and waited for her sister to come through. She never came for her coffee so my mother assumed she'd got up to go to the loo and had gone straight badk to bed.

The next day her sister went to visit my grandad's sister - as she wasn't that well either. When she came back she told her that their aunty had died. My mother said - I bet it was about 4.15........................ It was!! She then asked her sister if she'd been downstairs during the night - and she said she hadn't.

To this day my mother believes that she was on her way to....... where ever you go - and called in to see how her brother was keeping on her way....”

when you tell people how many years it is since they passed, for me, i get annoyed cause thats how long it is since i last talked to him, since we last hugged and since i last kissed him and brushed his hair. everyone grieves differently,even my sister and brother are different in their grief...im the baby of the family, and sometimes feel i let them down by crying when i miss him. i dont want to cry in front of mum, cause i know she will start....

wendy, you are talking about spooky things, heres a lovely one,

at my dads funeral,the minister read a verse, that i didnt hear, i was numb,i just remember that we played elvis, how great thou art in the church. thats really all i remember. dad was a big elvis fan.
anyway, Mum,my sister and me had to go down to dublin on a bus trip with a group that we are involved with. in a wee lovely nik-nak shop i was reading cards, i picked up one of the wallet sized cards about death. i read the first line and said this is lovely. i bought, was on couple of pounds.. on the way home i took photos of my mum and sister in the back of the bus....here goes.

1.when i got the pictures out the next day, there was a lovely beautiful golden glow behind my mum and sister...but it was a grey cloudy wet day..
2. when we arrived home at my house i got out the card and started to read it to my husband and mum. both their faces lit up. it was the verse the minister had read for my dad. i hadnt heard it.
for me, these were signs that he had spent the day with us. we cried and cried. i carry the wallet card with me always....
just my thoughts and feelings laid bare for all to see...thats life isnt it...................

sorry for being of topic

love you all xxxx”

That is a beautiful story xxx

I do see his faults obviously I don't expect others to like him cause I do nor do I care who does or doesn't express an opinion on him or any other BB HM I might like; I've only contributed very little to the MF because we do see so little of what's going on in the BB house that it's hard to discuss with any real sense of conviction.

I've enjoyed hearing what people do or don't like about Aaron or any of the other HMs, but really don't care who people follow at the end of the day, it's their choice, just as supporting John and Josie was mine all of those months ago.

I haven't seen OKTV (do people actually watch that tripe? ) but obviously, like you, have seen the twitter madness surrounding what he said to Faye. That, I think, was the issue more than anything; not that he had an opinion - although anybody seems to be attacked for expressing negative opinions about Aaron, which is ridiculous; I know that many are annoyed that so many people are talking to Faye like she's a child that cannot make up her own mind, and appear to be trying to make her change her mind rather than leaving her to it - both with BOTS over the last few nights (including Josie last night apparently telling Faye how awful Aaron is, somebody who should know how it feels to have others telling her her relationship is fake/she's being used, etc., and perhaps could exhibit a little more empathy) and on OKTV.

Others, I think, are worried Faye will be swayed by others' opinions and not give Aaron a chance; if that were the case though, and she were swayed - then probably she wouldn't be the girl Aaron thought she was anyway. We all know it's best for these two to sort out themselves. We all have an opinion, but I certainly wouldn't be telling Faye to her face that she was right/wrong in her opinion of Aaron. That's her business.”

I must admit, Josies comments have not sat easy with me. She needs to remember just over a year ago that she was in the exact same position as Faye and John was Aaron. She needs to think it wasnt false between her and john so why is it false between Faye and Aaron?

One says to the other - In life I made some mistakes so obscure
And I left a legacy behind - our Jose - she's so insecure
If I could go back - I'd change one or two things
And her life could be so different - by now she'd maybe have a couple of rings

The other replies sadly - I know what you mean - my mate
I've got a few regrets - To our John, I'd be closer then maybe he'd not want to debate
He's been a little bit angry with life for a while
I'd like to think eventually he'll calm down - and maybe more he'll smile

Last year on the bench we saw such a bond - something so good
We both saw what others did - it was all good in the hood
But our two for the moment have too many issues
This has made a lot of people grab for the tissues

They need to mature and grow
As the lovely people we know
They can be - they are loved by a lot
But by each other - they pretend the case this is not

We've made such a bond because of our troublesome two
We've watched as they fought - when there was nothing we could do
So for now mate - all we can do is watch again and wait
And hope that we can step in again - and assist the fate”

Lovely poem Carole, hope fate intervenes again soon

Evening all

Yes, I agree but you must remember she has never watched BB back, so she still doesnt know how herself and John came across, or how edited HL shows were. Even John said on the Vanessa Show, he could see after watching BB back, why a lot of ppl had come to the fake conclusion. They still do to this day. We who had LF obviously saw differently.

I think Josie is not too much of a deep thinker sometimes, she gets stuff wrong, and may be wrong in this instance, we dont really know whats going on with Aaron and Faye cause we have only seen the HL show, and based on that I would say that on Aarons part it doesnt look genuine, but then his character doesnt appeal to me, so maybe I am biased.

I think heavily highlighted shows dont give a true impression and its unfair of BB to manipulate what we the viewers see, after all its suppose to be a reality show not fabrication. Without LF this year its been naff.

Evening everyone

There's some lovely stories tonight.

Although I'm scared of getting psychic readings done I like hearing about others!

I'll tell you a wee story...

My wee Gran passed away 5 years ago. She was such a lovely wee woman & I still miss her everyday. She used to wear wee silk scarves every day so she wouldn't get a chill on her neck.

The day after she passed away our family chose her outfit to wear in her coffin and my Dad took it down to the undertakers.

Later on that day the undertakers phoned us & said she was all dressed & told us when people could go & see her & just as they were going off the phone they said oh one last thing, you don't happen to have a scarf you could bring, we feel her neck looks a little bare!!

She wasn't going without her wee silk scarf!!

I was a bit upset by Josies take on Aaron and Fayes relationship and thought she of all people would of been most sympathetic.
But then my take is that Josie has not even seen her own highlights and the bad editing of her and John. At one point in BB they made out that Josie was the bunny boiler wearing John down which of course wasn't the case and John edited to be not intrested in Josie at all again not the case. I think if Josie had watched her own highlights first before appearing on any BB related programmes to pass comment, it would have given her the insight that not all what the highlights show is the absolute truth and to be more wary of the possiability that BB is manipulating the viewer to its own agenda.

Absolutely agree, my post was similar to yours. Just one more point, if there had been no LF last year, I wonder just how many of us would have got so deeply involved in their story and would we have believed it was real?

Evening Judy

I thought at the beginning, remember I missed the first week as I was in America, but I thought everyone especially the ladies were after the £'s and mags and had watched JJJ and decided that was the way to go and fake it out (unlike JJJ who didn't). We haven't watched live feed, as much as I think Rebekkah was only after the money and deals, I honestly do think Faye is hurting with the accusations and it did surprise me with Josie's comments last night. We will of course see when Aaron comes out but we haven't had the luxury of live feed this time and as we know all too well with editing of John, the show can edit any which way they want to portray the housemates as they want

I think with Josie it would be best for her to watch live feed followed by the highlights so she knows where the fans are coming from. Evening Susie and welcome
