At my wife’s recommendation, I was watching Channel Four’s Big Brother <\/a>television programme.<\/p>\n

Now, there’s a programme you wouldn’t want your future employer to see you on. And if you’re Kitten<\/a>, you should be worried. Very worried. Why? Well, it’s not hard, but before she even entered the house, her escapades guaranteed the fact that when my time comes to employ staff, she won’t be short-listed. <\/p>\n

And tonight, she totally ignored the fact that the Big Brother staff called her to the diary room asking for a nomination. Not once, not twice, but three times. This was a nomination for the house-mate who could do without their suitcase for some of the 10-week duration. Rather unsurprisingly, Kitten received the most votes and ironically nominated herself. Joy of joys. <\/p>\n

So, through stupidity and bloody-mindedness, she’ll have to make do for at least another week without her suitcase. May be, another nine weeks, if she’s lucky…little chance there I think.<\/p>\n

Please don’t get me started about those house-mates who didn’t understand Big Brother’s question: “BB will deliver 11 (out of 12) suitcases tonight, please nominate the house-mate who you think shouldn’t receive their suitcase: state their name and why. ” It doesn’t get simpler than that, but these folks were confused by such a simple question. Even that goon<\/a> with four A-levels. He’s 20 for crying out loud. <\/p>\n

What are his four A-levels going to be worth in 10 years time? Nada, amigo, nada. (And on the off-chance you<\/a> are reading this, and one of your A-levels isn’t Spanish, nada<\/em> means nothing<\/em>.)<\/p>\n
