And a Bottle of Bread

Yea verily, now is the winter - but firstly, autumn - of hazelblackberry's discontent.

Because bloody Big Brother is back on our TV screens. How I loathe Big Brother and how I loathe Channel 10 for letting it run on and on when Law & Order is supposed to have started like 15 minutes ago.

Though it is kind of fascinating to watch Gretel Killeen slowly succumb to the growing army of Y chromosomes invading her body.

But here's the catch. I'm a sucker for advertising so when they talked about how "there's a secret" and "a world first" well, I just had to know. Am I not mere flesh and blood? Luckily The Burp is a BB devotee so I don't actually have to endure watching the show to find out what's going on. Instead I ring her up, rant and rave for five minutes about how much I HATE it and then ask, real casual and a bit sneery, "And what's all this crap about secrets and world firsts? I mean give me a break", and then I just sit back and let The Burp bring Big Brother to me.

Only after she reads this she might feel a tad resentful about it.

This made me laugh, we all have our guilty pleasures that bind us in lovehate relationships. Here's hoping you aren't in too much trouble!

Well what was the secret? I have to live vicariously you know, so don't leave me in suspense too long.
re the disabled sound byte; but what if you're deaf?
