I once knew an elderly teacher who called all the girls Gertie and all the boys George*. I suggest that BB could adopt the same principle.

Perhaps all the females could be called Nadia and all the males Marco? (That should keep the viewing figures down...)

*By the way, the kids were greatly amused by him.

but nadia and marco were popular with the majority of the public

Only with the undiscriminating masses...

Can we stick to the theme of the thread. Thanks.

All right then. It is a very silly game, though.

I don't know why I wrote that, I must have been in mod mode.

It reminds me of BB, it's always interesting to see who out of the housemates is the first one to try to lay the law down in some way or the first one brave enough to complain about something - it always happens after a week or so or even shorter than that. It's interesting to see the reactions of the other housemates too, you either get the "yeah I was feeling that too, I'm so glad you've sad something" or there's a backlash.

Now I'm going off topic!

Someone* is overly fond of asterixes

*Sigurd

Yes, I'd become aware of that myself. Guilty as charged! It is a bad habit, and I'll try to stop it.


*Asterisks! I never been much of an Asterix fan! But I'll ration myself to — say — two a week from now on. **

**I'm glad you didn't pick on my fondness for italics... Or for three-dot ellipses... Otherwise then I would be seriously handicapped...

Damn! I think that's my asterisk ration for the week gone already!

( Now I have to use 10 chatacters to say I am female LOl)

They always have at least one person with a weird name so here I've jumbled up a few ex-housemates' names to come with some odd-sounding one's :

BOYS

brani
cragi
ynad
sog
t-mo
zeb

GIRLS

asda
deja
naan
shun
tentik
zil

you would have to chuck in a few chav names

joshua
dean
darren
hamish *
percy **
duane ***


jessica
tracy
kylie
siobhan *
ruth **
aimee ***


* irish/scottish contingency
** silver surfers
*** minority contestants

note: at least 50% of contestants would be not fully heterosexual, although this would not become apparent immediately. only as votes were thin on the ground later on in the series.
