With my television hijacked over the past few weeks by a Big Brother faddie I have had more than the desired opportunity 
to form an opinion of this driveling television tosh.
Yip… it is the full package – complete driveling television tosh!
This is television at its worst. It does absolutely nothing for the mind, the soul or the body. In terms of a television highlight it is a 0.00000000000001 watt bulb lit behind a very thick curtain. In fact, it is sooooo bad that I’ve begun to compile a list of things I’d rather do than watch Big Brother and I invite you to add to the list. Please….. let’s help others find alternatives to watching this nonsense.
Ten things I’d rather do than watch Channel 4’s Big Brother:
1.Visit the dentist for root canal work.
2. Have stitches inserted without anesthetic.
3. Listen to Gordon Brown explain his economic theories.
4. Have an eye gouged out by a rat.
5. Sit in on an NI Assembly committee meeting for a week.
6. Read all the Harry Potter books at one sitting to an audience of 10 year olds.
7. Organise a UDA pub crawl to…. South Armagh.
8. Watch paint dry.
9. Listen to a punk rock band practicising (!!) for a month.
10. Undergo daily colonic irrigation.

While your UDA pub crawl is on par with my initial thoughts of a brisk walk through the bogside wrapped in a Union Jack,
I have to say that i would sooner listen to 8 hours of two bagpipe players playing out of tune death metal than be subjected to another minute of big brother.
In all honestly they should have banned big brother before they banned smoking. Think of all the hazardous second hand effects that could be prevented…The innocent bystanders suffering such deep psychological trauma…Getting stupider and stupider by the minute.
So poor old Jonty finished STONE last…. lucky guy…..
lucky… ain’t he!
