It's because it won't pass an ethics committee that the social behaviourists and sociologists ogle BB and fulfil their worst senses with the visualisation of highly and dubiously manipulated individuals acting out anyones worst nightmares in group dynamics and behaviours. I do not watch the programme but I certainly heard enough about what goes on a couple of years back, when I was studying, from such academics who justified these particular voyeuristic needs with full descriptions of what they saw, who then followed them up with their analyses - and an "oh by the way, the kids like to watch it"!

I was actually looking forward to big brother! I mean I watched the first one and they were all very freaky! Yet they all seem so boring now.... hmmmm it's just a plain freak show! If it weren't for radio 1 telling me about it all the way to work, I doubt I would even check it out anymore!

I think what it is about BB is that we all see a little of ourselves in the people on the screen and get a reality check.

Hi C.
Well thank goodness for innocent ignorance. My boss still has difficulty finding the start bar. Has never heard of an electronic blackberry (damn silly name anyway) and attempts to reach me at home are usually met with "I'm in the bath".. or I am out shopping at some random location! He did manage to get hold of my mobile number at one time so I promptly changed it and have refused repeated requests to give him the new one, so that he can contact me at all hours of the day! Ha! And I still have a job too! lol

You should put the assessment forward as an essay, could go a long way into explaining blogging, and what people expect from blogging

I just write what i like. sometime like you i wonder what people will say but ultimately this is a free forum where one can express themselves. we don't have to be rude to each other but if someone is rude that's their issue not mine. i love the comments too. otherwise the'd be no point if we didnt get feedback. support is great also when having a crisis. bless bloggers:)

Your blog mirrors some of the thinking I have been doing over the last few days. I started off by considering why I started blogging, and about the flowing stream of consciousness that comes to life in blogdom where it might not otherwise see the light of anything. There are so many variations of blogs on offer, a cacophony of communication to suit many tastes that are all forms of journalism in their own inimitable ways.

Like for you, the responses are for me, an integral part of the experience; some are so humourous, clever, sweet and simple, mind-boggling and thought provoking. That facet, the feedback, is the motivator to continue.

Agreed, lot of hassle and a bit intimidating at first but after I worked out how to handle it (pretend wedding ring) it was fine, feel much happier about things now... xx

I think people are quite careful in their comments

Certainly some of the things I have said about my relationship...well, my real life girlfriends would give me a total ticking off and tell me to stop being so fecking selfish. I haven't had that at all.

Oh!that's not why i like blogging by the way!People let me get away with anything...ah hah ha...

I remember I used to be scared of reading others comments when I first started writing my blog though.

Blimey!

On your own?I just booked a ticket to Portugal. I'm going alone because I want to and I know Sagres well enough to know its a great place for a lone girl to cycle and swim around in for a week and I'll get cheap accomodation from the ladies at the bus stop...but i thought about Morrocco.

I have been there..Taradount...but not to Marrakesh.It was lovely. Found the hassle off men in some places a bit off putting to go it alone though....

I blog just for the record, always wanted to have a "blow by blow" ;) account of all my encounters, simply because some of them have been so unusual, or on the other hand many others can relate but would never be so honest.
I had a huge response (both positive but to my surprise alse VERY critical) after I wrote about sex during my perion, I thought everyone did that. Then I found out (through some interesting websites) that you'd lose 7 years of sex if you never did it when you are "on"!
Ah well now only my friends can comment anyway, so screw the rest! ;)

Good points. Well made. Personally, I blog for sheer pleasure. Just about everything I post makes me laugh. The comments are just a bonus. Cheers. Steve.

I was having a similar dilemma in Top Shop the other day over a little puff ball skirt which looked so cute BUT i wore one the first time around....

It was only £25. I didn't buy it.

I think as long as you don't wear a pork pie hat you will be fine...hang on , when was this posted...oh, O.K...please God tell me you didn't wear a pork pie hat!

I'm a dress over jeans girl myself.

However...I'm wearing culottes right now. I almost bought a bubble skirt...and...hmmm....I'm 33.Eek.

Fuck it!

You took my very thoughts out of my mind - you'll look and feel just great - and will probably be the very best there.

ENJOY!!!

Thank you all...after raiding my wardrobe, I have narrowed it down to

Dark brown cords ( bum looks good) or jeans ( bum also looks good)

either a black wraparound top (full sleeved) or a little printed brown silk and chiffon strappy top with stroky shrug)

deffo wearing my comfy brown leather ( heeled and round toed boots )

yes and have suitable underwear... not that I am planning on anyone seeing it... but just for me which is much sexier!!

Will post on sunday with an update- thank you

I do not for one moment consider my self a fashion guru, but one thing I have noticed that would surpass societal classes is the bohemian look, it could be gypsy or flamenco(pardon the spelling) flowing skirts on boots, and similar top, I cannot describe it, but I would know it if I saw it, look at the earings that Accessoriez used to sell 2 years ago, where is PB when I need her, anyhow, cover up, but leave the arms uncovered, and go for dark eyeliner, black nail varnish, and black lip gloss, damn am goinging into fantasy territory.
Hope I have managed to make sense.

I'm also thinking jeans and a plain vesty type top. Jeans that make your bum look great and a top that makes your boobs look great. Although I'm guessing not too much skin, coz it is a concert not a nightclub!!!!
Smart trainers would be good too, something comfy!!!!
Have fun, let us know when you're about to be named as one half of a celebraty couple!!!!

In response to:A different life... I wonder...

I'd be happy to be a celeb by association.

So I'd be Nikki Sixx's wife :)

"Quentin Crisp was right when he remarked, 'fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are.'"

:)) :))

I love that! My most used quote of his is "why clean? when after 2 years the dust doesn't get any thicker".

Now then. Rock 'n Roll dress for a 30 year-old hmmmm. I do understand your dilema. There's not much out there for those of us between 29 and 50. (now there's an idea for a business).

Are we actually talking about a rock band here? If they are a *rock* band - I'd go in black jeans, black stilleto boots (if you can bear to stand up in them all night), and a plain (ie not flowery etc) lycra top (in guess what - black).

I would put my heels in a bag to change into after the gig, and wear docs or something similar to dance in.

Hope this helps :)

Feel free to ignore all of it :)

I like the idea of the friendship P45-after all when a relationship ends, usually both people know about it but it's different with the friendship thing, you often don't quite know where you stand.
In my "address book" I have:
-a "friend" who just spent New Year's with my ex and his new squeeze in France
-a girl I who got a job through me who hasn't contacted me since August of her own accord except to ask via MSN if I believe in fortune tellers
-a manic depressed girl who keeps going in and out of hospital with mental breakdowns and uses me as a walking cash machine and verbal punch ball
-a girl who met her fiance through me and who hasn't invited me to their engagement party
-past friends who have borrowed money for their "rent" and spent it on VCRs and fags...
Can I cut out and paste your P45 to email to them!?
