Big Blogger cannot honestly believe how slowly a week goes when you're waiting for something jolly exciting to finally start.
Am I talking about the delectable Gordon Brown seizing the reins of the UK premiership with reckless abandon?
Of course I'm not you doddering fools!
I'm talking about Big Bloody Blogger, in the year of our lord, 2007.
This isn't to say that one hasn't been enjoying the finer aspects of being an English gent /disembodied voice in this bountifully glorious pre-summer weather we've been having, because I have. If you were to wander past Big Blogger HQ on a typical weekday afternoon, you might find yours truly puffing away on Cuba's finest export - the cigar, sucking hard on a massive stick of rock, and kicking back to the dulcet tones of Aggers and Blowers on the wireless. If you've no idea what I'm talking about then that's possibly because I'm Big Blogger and you're not. Simple as that.
Anyway, there've been a few (well, a measly amount if I'm honest) more nominations since the last post.
So remember, if you want to have the chance to be in this thing then you've got until Tuesday lunchtime to scribble your name in the comments.
Until then, enjoy the weekend, and if you're in England enjoy the Bank Holiday Monday. If you're not, don't. I shall be otherwise indisposed with matrimonal affairs to take care of, so unless Little Blogger decides to have a party, trash the place, and then spend Tuesday morning desperately raiding the Yellow Pages in search of a french polisher to get rid of that annoying scratch on Big Blogger's favourite coffee table, it'll probably be pretty quiet round here.
And the phone's off the hook too, so there's no point calling.
See you all on Tuesday evening!
BB
Comments
See, now I'm getting all excited. Plenty of people in these lists it would be most entertaining to share a house with...
(and now watch me not get in, to doubly serve me right)
Now, not that I'm assuming I'd be picked out of the hat, or anything, but I'm afraid I won't be able to take part if I am. Big deadline. Fearsome amount of work. Small child. Etc.
But I shall support it, of course, with a pretty banner.
Can I just nominate myself? I did that last night but it was on the wrong post I think... and while I'm perfectly happy not to be picked out of the hat (unless I bumped into the hat again, in which case *thump*), I'd hate to miss out on it by not nominating myself properly.
I'm really interesting company and would be a welcome addition to the house. Honest. Unfortunately, as I've not got tourettes and I've always been the same sex, I'd never make it on to that TV show rip-off of Big Blogger...
PS Vote for ME! ME! Look at me everyone! See me dance! See me sing! No... no... wait! Come back...
Is it too late to nominate someone???
If not ... i nominate the wonderful and lovely long term blogger Status Anxiety. She's not been too well recently and could use a boost.
Oh please can I nominate Chopski (blog addy at end of this beggin comment) He is hilarious (see his comments on Mr Angry's blog) and would make a great contestant!I only just found you and so now I am willing to beg to get him voted in, plus it would be worth it just to see the look on his face (well as much as I can see over my shoulder as I run in the opposite direction!) Please, please, pretty please, with sugar on top, vote Chopski into the Big Blogger!(But let me know first if you do so I can start running!) Check him out here. http://fullofbullshite.blogspot.com
Okay, well you're all in the hat, cos I'm feeling particularly ill (for ill read hungover) today, am possibly slightly delirious with it all, and need to spread some karmic goodwill.
This in no way means you're in the house, but you are in the hat. It's better than nothing, no?

Welcome to the home of Big Blogger 2007. For the next eight weeks or so we will be watching (well, reading) the housemates as they complete their tasks, eake out a meagre existence, and do everything in their power to convince you, the blogging public, that they should be the ones to win the title of Big Blogger 2007. Who will win? You decide... (I could swear I've heard that before somewhere.)
Click on this link if you require any further clarification. And in case anyone is still utterly confused, here are The Rules.
The Housemates
Check out all the freaky weirdos beautiful specimens we've caged up just for you - and all in the name of entertainment too!
And the newbies too:
The House
It's missing a library, a nail salon and a coffee bar, but other than that it's a design masterpiece. You lucky people!
The Diary Room
Little Blogger AKA Minxy is always about nowhere to be seen, and therefore she won't do you a fantastic line in body stockings. Medium-sized Blogger IS there however and he has the world record for making rollies. So GO! NOW!! Do it, before it's too late!
A Concise History
Click the links to go straight to each task and/or each particular housemate's downright ludicrous response:
If you love Big Blogger in an almost entirely non-physical way then be a good sort and whack one of these attractive Big Blogger-themed thingies into your sidebar.
Our Links
Huge thanks go to Lucy Pepper for her wonderful illustrations.
Plus, even though he's not blogging anymore, let's remember Watski for coming up with this godawful idea in the first place.
AND, if you've got 300 years spare time on your hands you could use it to re-read the whole of the original 2005 Big Blogger event. Go on, I dare you.
The only other place we should really link to is the official BIG BROTHER website. After all, they're the ones who bought the rights to the concept in the first place; we're just adjusting it for our own purposes. I'm sure they'll understand.
So if you want intellectual stimulation and laughs-a-plenty, stay right where you are. However, if you want boredom, drudgery and maybe some tits and arse, go there instead.
I know where I'm going. Okay, see you later...
Legal Mumbo-Jumbo
The idea may not be original but everything else on here is of our own making and 100% original. So don't go borrowing unless A) you link back to us, or B) you ask us really really nicely beforehand.
See, now I'm getting all excited. Plenty of people in these lists it would be most entertaining to share a house with...
(and now watch me not get in, to doubly serve me right)

Ooh! Who put me in here?
That will teach me to search for me in Technorati...

For the record, if I do get picked, I'm well up for it.
Posted by: Tippler | Saturday, 26 May 2007 at 11:04
enidd would like to nominate mr x, sally, little miss moi, strife in the north and mind the gap, please. but only if they want to be in it.

I was stopped by an elderly Asian man yesterday near Marble Arch on my way to the tube.
"Excuse me," he said, but you have a very lucky forhead."
"I do?"
"Yes, indeed. I am an astrologer and read auras. You are going to have a very good time of it in the next several weeks."
He wanted to tell me more, but I had to run to teach a class.
So now the question is ... will said luck get me into, or keep me out of, the Big Blogger house?
I hope it's in. I already have my bag packed, just in case.

timbo, I regret to say you can't put me in the hat as in the next few weeks I'll more than likely be in a sunny beach somewhere in the mediterranean.
can I nominate Enidd? I think she would be marvellous.

I am new and unknown and thus DEMAND my fifteen minutes of fame. Or something to do when I should be doing something else.
Posted by: Joseph | Sunday, 27 May 2007 at 15:06
Oh, has anyone nominated Joseph yet? He'd be great...
