Linda needs to sit her over-reaching ass down someplace.

As for that whole kirsty/kristy allsop was mean to me thing;

If you meet an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole.
If you meet assholes all day, you're the asshole.
This^^^^ sums it up perfectly.

She moved his pillows to the floor and his clothing to the bottom of the bed and he took the clothing put it on the floor and asked if he should trample it into the floor.
I wonder why she did that (maybe to provoke him?)

so him having a joke at the 'major dislike' she apparently has for him. Wasn't that one of her USP's and something she seems to keep bringing up?
Hate to say it but I thought Hopkins was spot on about Linda

That's exactly why I think she did what she did-she so wants to provoke him in the house so then she can say she's always known what he's like .. well IMO anyway !

I didn't really like Jim Davidson before BB but I think he's coming across OK and I do hope it continues it would be nice to see him converse with others instead of all the sex talk !

Im the same, didn't like JD at first but now I really like him and respect for not getting involved in the witches coven and walking away from what was obviously Linda's rant so he would answer back. Good on you Jim.

Jim played it brilliantly. He knew what she was trying to do.
he sussed it straight away - he knew.....to ..just walk away - Remember what he said when he went into the house, his children told him 'not to be himself' , that was an indication - doubt he suffers fools gladly and he's of an age where he's probaby so set in his ways, his ex's have probably cost him a lot of money too along the way, and time he did what he wanted and with who he wants , if you know what i mean - so keeping himself together and not losing his rag must be quite difficult id imagine in that House , especially with sensitive Linda around him who seems to require his attention and it's affecting her she's not getting any from him -

Linda and Jim are different people and to use his analogy...cats are cats, dogs are dogs, ---but I'm wondering if its just that in his eyes, men are from mars, women are from venus,,, and he is old school male chauvanist and hangs out with the lads down the pub, and holds views of woman belong at home, think he's just conditioned as he is from an era and generation where many held that view.

He said to Linda, that he got through the last year as he had a solid group of people around him for support - and bet many of them aside from just family, were long term male friends.

It was a joke and Jim wanted to hear Lee's singing.
Surely wanting to hear Lee singing was the joke. Maybe he was being ironic and actually wanted her to interrupt because it didn't actually look like she was going to

I thought he was very perceptive about Linda when she was doing her "Kirsty Alsop wasn't nice to me" speech. He's cottoned on to her passive/aggressive "I'm the victim - poor me" personality.
I'm not sure relaying that Kirsty Allsop wasn't nice to her is actually passive aggressive. It just sounded like a tale and a very boring one and if Jim hadn't put his 2 pennerth in we wouldn't have had to hear it

She moved his pillows to the floor and his clothing to the bottom of the bed and he took the clothing put it on the floor and asked if he should trample it into the floor.
Yes that is what I thought but it's confusing. Why were Jim's pillows and clothes on her bed. She said something about not moving beds There's clearly something going on we've not been made aware of.

I think they were all sharing the beds they were in when they were chained together so L and J are stuck with each other.

So apparently Kirsty Allsop was mean to her, T-that all seems a little deja vue to my ears...............I seem to remember that the reason that Collen disliked Julie Goodyear so much even though she had never met her was because Julie had apparently been mean to Linda in a theatre bar at some time (at least according to Linda)
And of course Linda cant quite put her finger on what the problem is she has with Jim, just like Collen could never put the finger on what the problem was she had with Julie.

History repeating itself with the Nolan's who seem to always have an agenda with certain people.

Indeed! They all seem to be exactly the same as each other. Put a different head on one & you have exactly the same mindset!
This is the 2nd of them who seems to have a beef about others & blame them for their 'misfortune' while trying to make out they're totally innocent in any of these events.

I think Linda is as nasty & sneaky as Colleen was.

Its hard to know whether it was the pillow incident that set her off or whether is was a series of things we have not been shown. My money is on the latter tbh so I have no idea if she is justified or not and without livefeed we wont know unless someone tells.

Seriously desperate to try and turn the girls against Jim over next to nothing. Pathetic.
Thats what Linda does, probably why Jim doesn't like her, he's not soft, she probably has done it before, outside the house.

Absolutely right.

She seems intent on engineering a phoney war with Jim & it's so transparent.

She reminds me of Callum from BB14 who did the same thing with Dexter; a BS phoney war that was only apparent in his head & nobody else gave a damn about.

I thought Jim reacted perfectly by calmly walking away.

She (in fact, they all did) tried get him into a slanging match & it failed miserably because Jim was wise to it & did the complete opposite.

When Linda says 'we have history', I immediately think here we go again.

It would appear the Nolans have 'history' with many people, you have to ask yourself why. Could it be that they are the problem and not the other way round?

Exactly.

She doesn't like him - he's wound her up. People asked her what was wrong and she told them. Jim walked in and she told him too. He walked away because he knows he has a short fuse and wasn't going to get into it.

It's simply a case of two people who don't get on but some people on here want to put a spin on it and suggest ulterior motives.

It was what it was ....nothing contrived, nothing devious - people asked her what was wrong and she told them.

We all have history FGS. If she hasn't liked him in the past for whatever reason (which she openly said she did) why should she like him now? They put on a brave face while they were cuffed but now the cuffs are off literally.

They simply don't like each other and don't get on.

One of my earlier posts said that she would try to establish a coven of witches, and I wasn't wrong! I just hope at least Luisa has the sense to stay away from toxic Linda.

I can now see why she was living off benefits, who would want to work with that bitter menopausal cow!?
What a dismal collection of horrible stereotypes. I am so utterly fed up with people contriving a 'coven of witches' every time they don't like some female housemates, and slagging someone off for being 'menopausal' because they are not young and pretty. Do you honestly think Luisa and Jasmine were fond of Jim before Linda said something about him? Because if so you must have watched the programme with your eyes and ears closed. He had been pointlessly rude and aggressive to someone who had done nothing more untoward than walk past him, but who he identified as not liked among the people he was sitting with. It has been obvious from day one that Linda has come into the house with a massive prejudice against her from some viewers.
It was a joke and Jim wanted to hear Lee's singing.
You keep saying that, but she did absolutely nothing to stop him hearing Lee's dreadful singing - it was wildly unlikely that he really wanted to listen to it - and there was absolutely nothing amusing about what he said. If Linda had randomly told someone to f*** off just for walking past her, you know perfectly well she would be abused from here to next year.
I thought he was very perceptive about Linda when she was doing her "Kirsty Alsop wasn't nice to me" speech. He's cottoned on to her passive/aggressive "I'm the victim - poor me" personality.
What miserably poor evidence for her being passive-aggressive. Housemates on CBB probably spend half their day swapping anecdotes about which other celebs they have met and how they got on. It is almost never broadcast - not really a 'story' and might give offence. The ONLY reason this was broadcast is that it was part of a bit of a row between Linda and Jim. There is absolutely no reason to doubt her impression that Kirsty Allsopp had not been friendly to her on that day, other than peoples' obvious need to cast every single thing into the worst possible light for Linda.
I didn't quite get why she was harping on about the pillows and how mean it was of Jim. Loved that Jim wasn't interested in the slightest and just walked away, she was being a whiny old twit.
I somehow doubt you would have 'loved' it nearly as much if Linda had flounced out in a temper when Jim was talking to her.
I thought she was ok at first but after tonight I can see how stroppy and silly she is. Good for Jim for not taking her bait!
She didn't offer any bait. She was trying to explain, face to face, why she was annoyed with him, and he refused to listen.
I thought she moved them to the end of the bed and he threw them on the floor.
She was interrupted so many times that it became a bit confusing what exactly she had done and he had said. She said "I thought it would help you", so presumably she had not thrown his pillows down in a rage. He seems to have annoyed her by threatening to trample over something on the floor.
He didn't trample on them but said sarcastically to her "Do you want me to trample on them as well?"
Yes, I think that's right. The best sense of it I can make is that she was making up the beds and he came in at the stage when the pillows were on the floor and flew into a temper; but she did repeatedly say something about moving them to the end of the bed so it's hard to be sure.
Haha, so true!

The Kirstie Allsopp thing was really weird I thought. Everytime I've seen Kirstie, either on "Location" or being interviewed, she seems like a lovely woman.
Yes, because no one has ever been polite and friendly in an interview but stand-offish when the cameras are off them, have they?
Thats what Linda does, probably why Jim doesn't like her, he's not soft, she probably has done it before, outside the house.
Probably has she, probably? Let's probably attack her anyway. After all, she is an older female, so naturally a witch with a coven, and Jim, who seems to have gone through life being vile about all sorts of people, is a complete gentleman, and must be in the right even when telling young women who are not much liked among the people he is sitting with to f*** off for daring to walk near him.

^ this. Ghastly bunch of hasbeens who are bitter that their career is over and now look for offence wherever they can find it. She was on benefits allegedly last week so it must eat her up that Jim is apparently doing nicely thank you.

But her career was simply interrupted by a 'bout of cancer' - I think she's probably grateful for her life TBH rather than bitter.

A few years ago they re grouped and had a very successful nationwide (sell out) tour. They have all worked in one way or another since the Nolan's split up so I'm really not sure why people harp on about the bitterness etc. I think there has been a lot of sadness at the tragedies in their family but not bitterness.

I really think 'ghastly hasbeen' is a good description of Davidson. At least no Nolan, afaik, has been accused of pushing a woman down a flight of stairs or hitting her with a set of dumbbells.
