Big Blogger is totally shagged out, as I've been at it* hammer and tongs all night. Therefore this will be a quick one. Shorter than normal, but then size isn't everything is it? It's what you do with it etc etc..
Will the innuendo never cease?
Well to be precise, it's ceasing now. I want my bed so let's get this over with sharpish.
Below this sentence, is a pretty little list containing all the lucky bloggers who, unless they tell me otherwise, will be vying desperately for the title of Big Blogger 2007. They are:
Betty, Invader Stu, Penfold, Cat, Joseph, Tippler, Ariel, Unreliable Witness, Angelalala, Clare, Katy, Bedshaped, Non-working monkey, Bob and Enidd.
The three reserves are Anx, Neil and Spanish Goth, in that order.
And would you believe it? we've already had a dropout. I'm sad to say that there will be no witnessing of an unreliable nature going on in the Big Blogger house as he is a very busy man indeed. He's also very intelligent so is probably understandably terrified at the notion of spending week upon week in the company of Tippler.
Or maybe he knows something we don't know.
Anyway, this means that Anx is now in the house.
I shall email you all tomorrow with the keys to the gaff, whereupon you are all free to make yourselves at home as best you can, until everything begins in earnest on Thursday with the first task. I shall also wallop the rules on here so everybody has at least some idea of what the bloody hell this thing involves.
Ps. Invader Stu and Joseph, what are your email addresses? If you don't tell me you won't get in and then who'll be upset? Yes, I know. You should be ashamed.
UPDATE - We have another premature ejaculation, with the news that Non-working monkey will be unable to enter the house as she will be stuck in the middle of the ocean until the middle of June, and last time I looked it was pretty hard to be in a house and the ocean at the same time. So while upsetting, this does also mean that Neil will be joining this motley crew post haste. Exciting!
UPDATE NUMBER 2 - And there goes another one! Betty is is the wilds of Cornwall for the next fortnight, so this means that Spanish Goth gets admission to the house in her place. Goth and Tippler in the same building. Help us, please...
*How many of you came down to the asterisk before reading anything else? You're a filthy-minded bunch, the lot of you.
Rules? I knew nothing of rules.
Surely you mean nebulous guidelines painted in watercolors and left a touch too close to the jacuzzi?

Mwahaha, I am now a guest author on Big Blogger 2007.
It would be very naughty of me to post a post right now, wouldn't it?
Shame, cos I'm sooooo tempted...
Posted by: Clare | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 00:23
Oh tee hee, I just noticed something. I signed myself up as Clare Sudders, cos I assumed there would be other Clares already belonging to TypePad, and I didn't want to put Clare Sudbery cos it seemed too formal and self-important, but what I didn't realise was that my capitalisation would be ignored, leaving us with something which looks remarkably like...
Clare's Udders.
Unintentional, I assure you. But all the funnier for that.
Posted by: Clare | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 00:25
I have to say Clare, there is NOTHING STOPPING YOU.
Apart from Little Blogger, and she's vicious. Plus I can always bar you from the lavatory for a day*. See how you like that!
*Okay, maybe 10 minutes. I'm not that cruel.
Posted by: Big Blogger | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 00:26
Haha, I thought you were going to bed...
I don't like the idea of my bladder leaking all over the Diary Room chair though, so I shall desist for now...
Posted by: Clare | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 01:32
*stops clare*
;)
maybe i need to sharpen my vicious skills?
btw you can pee on the chair if you must but big blogger is always watching (the perv) :D

ANSWER you morons - otherwise I get dragged into this. I was harmlessly sitting on the dock of a bay smoking a spliff....

cool - tides coming in, oh no, it's going out, no, it's coming in *exhales* wow, seals and dolphins and *inhales*
Posted by: Spanish Goth | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 02:37
I shall watch Penfold's short descent into insanity with something approaching glee. Good luck everyone.

gosh, this is exciting. does anyone else like kippers? enidd will get in a good supply.
Posted by: enidd | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 06:32
I must say I was close to astounded when I saw UW's name on the list, and not at all surprised when he gave notice before ever moving in.
I think the remaining mix is going to be a delight...for voyeurs.

Oh, good heavens above...
Posted by: anxious | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 07:11
- am I still allowed a chainsaw as my luxury item?
Posted by: penfold | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 07:26
Asta - Yes, sorry about that. But us socialphobes - well, we don't get out much. And don't like to get out much. I would have just spent the whole time hiding under my duvet, frankly. But I do hope everyone in the house has the most delightful of times.
Posted by: An Unreliable Witness | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 09:42
kippers? oh dear.
penfold - erm
no.
Posted by: little bugger | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 10:55
Kippers?
Eek.
Posted by: Clare | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 11:38
Kippers? Bleurgh.
Posted by: Angelalala | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 11:48
I can't wait to be laminated.
Posted by: bob | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 11:55
Hang on.
I go away for five days and find myself both nominated, and rejected, whilst I was out of the country.
Normally I have to talk to someone for at least a minute before they want to reject me.
I think this is some kind of record.
Posted by: Mr Angry | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 12:16
Yippy. I'm in. I'll bring my MC Hammer collection and we can all party.
Posted by: Invader Stu | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 12:18
So what are the rules then, huh? I am a stickler for rules. I want to do some stickling.
Posted by: Clare | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 12:30
Oooh Clare ... I think it's awfully early to be disturbing Big Blogger with demands about posting guidelines, erm, rules. We don't want to rile him and suffer his wrath so early in the game.
Shhhhh. He's sleeping.
Posted by: bob | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 at 12:53
first rule: no mc hammer.
