You kind of expected it from Jo though by then. What saddened me more was Shilpa whispering to Danielle that Dirk would 'fook' up the Jackson's task when in fact he made it, he was so funny (and good

). But then I think she let Dirk down a few times comsidering he was great to her.
I know she and Jermaine asked Cleo etc to stop after Dirk had clearly had enough of Tiara, but call me old fashioned only that would have worked better for me if they had not joined in on the laughter first. They knew Cleo and her coven had already been winding Dirk up and they knew he wouldn't like it coming from Cleo and her audience (which sadly included them)
If I wanted to choose a freind from that house it would be Dirk every time, you always knew where he stood and he was very loyal and kept your spirits up with humour.
I know this is history but I was thinking yesterday through which higlights I would have added to Dirk's clips.
Now for Jermaine bless him I would have struggled, I might have added JJ looking out of the window with the sun on his face, JJ looking out of the window in the shade, watching Dirk cook rice, watching Shilpa cook chicken but then I ran out of ideas.
Now for Dirk I would have added:
A Team task, fishing all the stuff out at the end.
Cooking up the salmon for everyone. (they had one cook frying salmon skin on Ready Steady Cook the other day btw, said it was nutriciuos and delicious, a bit like Dirk! They didn't say that last bit... that was me )
Footy chats with Jack showing how much he knew about our footy, that would have gone down well.
Dominoes task.
Intelligent chats with Shilpa, Jermaine.
Talking about his sons.
Countless one -liners in our thread but not shown.
Dirk fishing the chicken out of the loo ( a definite vote winner)
Dirk and Leo being daft and talking about being The Bruise Brothers.
Dirk skipping.
I would add more Dirky dancing but they actually did do that!
Anyway I could go on but you get my point hopefully!
I loved the Sun article so thanks for that link, I will have to check out the Wossy one later as I have a train to catch (And Dirk's book to read while I'm on it) but what a brilliant lot you are finding all these Dirk snippets.
I read on his biography online that he only discovered about his oldest son in I think it was 1998 which was a surprise too. Ok I think I bored you enough!
