- *appreciates* Veri's viewpoint -


I havent read any of the tabloids yet or even the threads on the board about 'new' HMs... but just reading Veri's opening post sums up what has been happening over the last week or so...

So, from that starting point... I once again *appreciate" Ms Thomas against the mindless hoardes looking for their next BB (female) victim.

As Science would say... yaaaaaaah git mi!

Would that be my English lot, my Irish lot or my Scots lot?

But quite plainly you're not - where is your post in the Shabaz thread ? He's a 'minor celebrity' , he's been in the press but he's also a he - surely someone such as yourself who has already complained at least once about female oppression today should be at the very least giving her the same chances you are giving him

In fact Shabaz is worse - he has no discernable talent but wants to be 'famous for being famous' while Imogen wants to actually work for her recognition


P.S. I was referring to your 'English lot' since you did say you were English

With Scots & Irish blood

Has Shabaz been plastered all over the tabloids? Has his mum been talking to the press? Have any of his friends been on here campaigning? Imust have missed that.

This is spooky, but every time I read a thread about Imogen, it reappears on the board in bold! Even tho' there's been no new posts! Is it happening to anyone else? And what could be the explanation?
(P.S. Am English but feel Welsh after nearly 10 years there. Have never oppressed any Scots.)

Has it all been kickin' off... and only on the basis of tabloid 'spoilers'

Sheesh.. I hope this isn't the sign of things to come!

*returns from Shabaz thread*

The answers to my questions appear to be No, No & No. He's just one off the list who someone thinks they may have seen around town but can't positively identify. no comparison

Yes !

I believe his parents were mentioned in one thread though i'm not entirely certain of the context
Have any of his friends been on here campaigning?
No but many fms have already started campaigning for him without knowing anything about him
Imust have missed that.

do you have a link to the 'plastering' or are you merely referring to the NoTW list with 12 housemates on?

I think one of the differences with Imogen is that she has a friend who posts on DS

I'm referring to the overall press coverage which is comparable although from the way people are overreacting it would be reasonable to think Imogen has had more than Chantelle & Jade put together !

Darn!

I've missed a trick when linking to "imogen" threads. I should have added "&highlight=imogen", as in this link.

Try it. For me, it makes "imogen" appear in bold red. Perhaps for others, it's just bold.

BTW, the highlighting appears to be "sticky". That is, if you keep following links from one that had the highlighting, you keep getting the highlighting.

Yup, it's red all right.

Good for you - he sounds almost as annoying as Shabaz
That's probably the Celtic blood in you - it indues a sense of fair play
