Big Blogger 2007: Trevor Francis once trod on my leg

Monday, 18 June 2007

Trevor Francis once trod on my leg

And I never washed those trousers again.

The same never happened with Les Ferdinand, but I'm ever hopeful.

As usual I'm digressing quite violently, so pardon me while I check my papers and find out what the bloody hell this post is supposed to be about.

Oh yes, right.

Task 5.

I ask you to do stuff and you do it. So here's the deal:

"Your task is to share with everyone your greatest Celebrity Anecdote. The one you always whip out at parties to impress the barmaid/man that doesn't fail miserably. You know, a famous person, a story, a punchline... that sort of thing. The deadline for this task is Thursday lunchtime."

I always tell the one about Roger Moore, a cravat and Sex and the City, but that's old hat now. I really need to start stalking slebs again. Expand my repertoire a bit.

Then again, I'm a sleb myself, so maybe I should stop my grinnin' and drop my linen, as it were.

I'll get my coat.

Does it count if we've previously blogged it?

Posted by: bob | Monday, 18 June 2007 at 11:56

Err, you can use it again, but don't just copy and paste. I demand a re-write!

Posted by: Big Blogger | Monday, 18 June 2007 at 11:59

Okay, thanks. I'll go through my files ... there's bound to be more than one.

Posted by: bob | Monday, 18 June 2007 at 12:02

Bugger. I've got quite a few as it 'appens. But, naturally, I've previously blogged them.

Hang on, don't think I've done Cantona yet. Always meant to write that one...

And where's the poll thingy gone?

Posted by: Tippler | Monday, 18 June 2007 at 12:37

The Poll will go up as soon as I get to a 'proper' computer with all my html gubbins on it. Can you cope?

Posted by: Big Blogger | Monday, 18 June 2007 at 12:40

No. It's a marmite thing, you see...

I can cope with a lack of one or the other, but not both.

Shit, where's the booze...

Posted by: Tippler | Monday, 18 June 2007 at 12:43

Haha. I have only had skirmishes with minor celebrities, but I have photographic evidence of one of them...

As for marmite - yuck!

Posted by: Clare | Monday, 18 June 2007 at 12:55

Jesus christ. I did the best one last night. Strangely, it was Big Brother related. Please help me choose:

Julian Lennon and the monkey
Anthony Quinn and the colouring books
Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen (sp)
Twos up with Terry Venables and Michael Owen
Herring (then Lee)
The short fit bloke out of Teachers

And many more!!!!

Oh, and Moonface de Botton.

Posted by: non-workingmonkey | Monday, 18 June 2007 at 15:24

Ah bollocks! I don't think I've ever met a celebrity in my life!! Will have to get my thinking cap on...

(and I thought this was going to be easy...!)

Posted by: ordinary girl | Monday, 18 June 2007 at 19:59

Julian Lennon and the monkey!

Posted by: Clare | Tuesday, 19 June 2007 at 11:03

Yeah - get your monkey chequebook out

Those Responsible

Timbo & Supply Blogger

Yes! I have an accomplice once again!

The Poll

Bollocks to the poll! It's finished!

The Concept

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!

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.
