Big Blogger 2007: Clare is All Right, Sometimes

Clare is All Right, Sometimes

5. I can write books. Proof: I wrote a book. Well, two of them actually. One of them got published. Oh God, I don't like this game. I'm already thinking my qualities are rubbish and just make me sound horrible. [sigh] Moving swiftly on...

4. Oh arse, this is too difficult. Um, I... I'm good with kids! I love kids. They make me go all gooey. But I'm good at being firm with them too. I'm a good balance of caring, fun and firm. Proof: I have a happy well-adjusted child who never has tantrums, sleeps eleven hours a night, is incredibly kind and generous and gives lots of cuddles. Ugh. How on earth does anyone do this task without just sounding like a dreadful show-off?

3. Only three to go... right. OK. Organisation. I'm good at organising things. And when I have ideas, I generally execute them. And OK, so maybe I don't always get things done on time, but I do get them done. Proof: This new website, wot I helped coordinate (wasn't just me though, props and all that).

2. Erk. Er. Knitting. I can knit! Proof: several jumpers, gloves and hats, designed and executed by me.

1. Kindness. I am sometimes nice to people, and you know, do nice stuff for them. Proof: I'm off to the lakes for the weekend to install phones and put up white boards and solve storage solutions and cook meals and stuff for my ninety-something grandparents.

There. Can I go now?

Knitting? Since when was knitting ever classifiable as a quality?

My ability to knit! It's a quality! What if we got shipwrecked with a load of sheep and you were cold? Huh? I bet you'd call it a quality then...

Clare is nice. She even sent me a genuine hand put together chocolate cake once. Really good too, even after being stuck in the post for faff knows how long.

Sighs in awe at the book writing thing.

Wonders if being good with kids can be tested by a week with OG's little darlings X and Z...?

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!

A Concise History

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.
