Interesting to observe our neighbours confirming their historic preference for Josie by merging with Muckers Forever on facebook (The presence of a couple of "loyettes" doesn't disguise the overall effect)

I guess it makes sense if you're a reuniter but, for those who are John-only fans here and on LoysF it makes none at all as John's life and future is entirely separate from Josie's.

Meanwhile I see both John and Josie's timelines have been disfigured by abusive eggs again this evening. The new FB group has even invited an egg to join them, so I assume that group approves of it all.

Thanks crazychick - pity, though, it would have been nice to get some news

Bringing this up-to-date though, had to smile at Sam Pepper's recent tweet about steroids having worked for John!

Morning all.

I too was very worried about John. I expected him to bulk up when he got out of the house but I guess all the stress made him lose weight.

Happy house hunting Lindy. You will find the right property, really you will. Don't wear yourself out though.

Off to St Mary's soon via Selfridges - have a good day. Hubby out tonight so I can watch Good Wife on big screen! Yipee. . .

Georgy, I love your positivity - is that a word?

Wish I were more like you. I do count my blessings though.

A friend of mine who's a granny 5 times over said to me that it is important you live your life to the full as you only get one chance at it. She has had a very difficult life. Her children are scattered all over the place and have their own lives but she is there if they need her. My friend constantly amazes me (she is about 15 years older than I am). She travels, is busy painting and selling them, she runs a drama group for the over 60s, goes to Art exhibitions and is teaching herself Spanish. She also visits her children and they visit her and has time to help her friends and travel. Truly remarkable woman. I've never heard her complain either. A real role model for me. I really don't know where she gets her energy as she is over 70 herself.

I find I'm exhausted at the end of the day I don't do half the activities she does.

the group is for anybody that wishes to join be it a supporter of john or josie or both, and is exactly what it say's jjjat uncensored, and anybody is free to join and as it seems you have'nt applied to join as yet im sure that if you did you would be made to feel as welcome as anyone else. and just as an aside both supporters of either just john or josie are finding it a very nice place to be

bib - is this accurate? I wasn't around yesterday so I don't know, but I thought it was a new Fb group of their own, not a merged group with Muckers???

Shame they had to hijack the JJJAT name - that's an open thread on DS, not a closed page elsewhere

That's what I thought, although as I added above, shame about using JJJAT name as that was started by LJ as an open thread on DS, but there you go It's not really a discussion for this thread, sorry threadlings

Yes all are welcome some have joined to be nosy on both sides but one major loyette has joined and tbh she is a godsend as she has all the major clips we like to watch saved. In a way the JJJ story is now like an old film you like to rewatch and it's good to get those clips into one place before they disappear. I can understand John only fans having no interest though but we do have some lovely photos and clips of John with and without Josie. The BB experience is nice to look back at that's all.

A major loyette indeed - Go Didi, its the stuff dreams are made of I see what you mean about an old film, very apt, it is always nice to look back on JJJ, the good and the bad and sometimes the extremely ugly Good luck with the FB account, enjoy.

Lovely way to put it - very apt.

so true I enjoy reminiscing about BB11 too I tend to forget some really funny moments, like the watermelon - still a classic

It's an empire building group with no other purpose than to promote the interests of the founders. The JJJAT is already available for the purpose of joint appreciation, but unfortunately for you is regulated by independent mods to stop bitching about other FMs. The only need for an unregulated group is to allow the bitching without sanction. Enjoy!

I'm speaking colloquially (of course Muckers Forever is much larger). But in essence, that is what it will increasingly become, imo. A couple of fig-leaves doesn't alter that.

So do you also agree with Muggins' view about the hypocrisy of using a closed page on FB instead of an open page on DS or twitter?

I'm sure all are welcome. They've even been inviting abusive eggs to join, so clearly the entry standards are low.

I don't read egg accounts anymore apart from Qwerty but then John also follows him so I guess he approves. Empire building who knows ? The empire of what exactly ? Not sure I understand the concept and how it relates to two past BB contestants but I guess you have a theory . I hope Muddy doesn't try taking over the world lol
As for Ali's view of the name she has a point, but you can't please everyone . The name may be changed if the group takes off . In fact it is a lovely group and there is no nastiness at all about John or Josie .

Selective blindness then. You're honest at least!

And I also know you're intelligent enough to know what empire building is, in the context of fanbases (zleb, or otherwise).

I'm afraid Ali's point about hypocrisy goes far deep than the name . . . once again, as you well know.

Fortunately, the JJAT is solely concerned with John's interests, and isn't conflicted by his historical attachment to Josie. Enjoy your new 'friendly' group, it's a shame you couldn't make JJJAT work for you.

Thaks Alex I wouldn't say JJJAT doesn't work for me I do still post there but I like you need other outlets which is why we both joined twitter. I do think fb is for the very young but heigh ho I'll give it a go

the point of the facebook group is so that anyone is free to give there view which has become increasingly more difficult of late, if you want to call it bitching feel free but i sincerly hope you are not refering to me personaly as besides being against t&c regulation it is blatantly untrue and my suggestion to you would be to put your own house in order

The only thing that's against t&c regulation are the posts which the mods had to remove and the posters they had to ban. I'm saying the opposite of what you imply: DS posting is relatively free of bitching . . . . which is a good thing, not a bad thing . . . and should surely be encouraged.

Here, we have to observe an important rule: namely to focus on the post (content), not the poster (personal). It makes for better discussion imo. Outside DS, that 'constraint' is lifted of course.

well in that case i would suggest when replying to somebodies post the word you is left out as a poster can be forgiven for thinking that they are being refered to personaly

So do you have a view on the hypocrisy of forming a private/closed group on FB for "uncensored" discussion?
