Big Blogger 2007: Devil's Haircut

Devil's Haircut

And so to Wednesday, which will henceforth be known as the day of lost eyebrows.

Yesterday I took trotted to the hairdresser's, only to be told I had no appointment. I did. And after much faffing around, it transpired it had been written in the wrong column in the book of bookings. Rather than being with my usual stylist, D, who is very nice but resembles a drag queen, it was with a rather fierce looking chap. D offered to fit me in at the end of the day, but I was impatient. I took my chances with the fierce looking chap. Who completely ignored what I asked him for and chopped with abandon. I was too afraid to say anything. I told him it was "very nice", paid him - far more than I usually pay D - and skulked off.

At home, I wept. And realised that he'd barely touched my fringe. I should have called and asked to go back. Instead I got the nail scissors out. I trimmed and trimmed. I was very careful and precise. Except I wasn't. And now half my right eyebrow is gone.

In retrospect, it's a good job the fringe is much longer than I want it to be. And that hair grows.

Also on Wednesdays. As Bob correctly identifies, Wednesday is known as "hump day", as by lunchtime, we're wearing our way towards the weekend. Wednesday is also the day internal job ads go up on the intranet at my work, the day the binmen come and the day that my little brother was born on.

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.
