No misunderstanding mate, except on your part! |

No Brian, no Ray - actually I take your point. Slight loophole - although Anna, Brian and Ray are all from Eire (Tom is from Northern Ireland I think), they were actually resident in Britain at the time they applied for BB. |

Originally posted by ben4321 Oh dear, no Anna would be bad. Even the loss of the other two doesn't make up for that.But Bodders, this means no Anna! No Brian, no Ray - actually I take your point. Slight loophole - although Anna, Brian and Ray are all from Eire (Tom is from Northern Ireland I think), they were actually resident in Britain at the time they applied for BB. Residency is probably the best criteria to use, despite my curmudgeonly-ness. It does appear there may be a big block vote for anyone Irish, which seems a little unfair but if they do live in the UK then that's fair play. I would not expect anyone non Irish to appear in the Eire version that's about to go out but hopefully they'll judge on residency too. As to Twinkle's point, yes, diversity is good but it would be a bit silly if someone from half-way around the world could apply because they should have a closer Big Brother to them. Unless it's part of a 'world BB' which would probably be fun to watch. |

Unless it's part of a 'world BB' which would probably be fun to watch.

They did not teach you I see! Let me explain it simply for you. Ireland, Wales and Scotland are not in Britain. You see Britain is a separate country. People born in Ireland are Irish not British. People born in Scotland are Scottish not British. People born in Britain are British. Geddit now? |

You quite clearly stated that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are not part of Britain. Wrong, they are not part of England but as a whole we are all British. When several people corrected you, you reiterated your point about Britain then chose to insult people about not understanding you, at one point shouting 'geddit'. You were the only one who didn't get it as geographically the others were correct and you were not.

Considering I am several years younger than Jade that would be remarkable. Nevermind geography, you need to go back and do your maths! |

At the end of the day I was right and you were all wrong but unfortunately it seems that only I am smart enough to know this. Jon Tickle and I are a class apart from you all!
