I'm off to Spain in the morning.
Adios amigos!
British and American versions are coming this year!!
It was originally aired in Japan, but the French are good at it too.
The aim of the game is to get through the styrofoam wall, any way possible (you don't have to fill the shape), or else you get pushed into the pool :(
A lot's happened in that week:
- Went to a theme park
It rained all day, but we didn't let it ruin our fun - we just got even more wet ^^! Then a pair of scummy little Irish boys (not saying everyone in Ireland is scummy - just them two) jumped in the drier with us, after we paid £2 to go in to have it to ourselves. Then we got more wet anyways.
- A couple more chillies have grown!
Some more of the petals have been drying up to reveal little chillies. I've found that one I left for longer (because I didn't notice it), had a bigger, more normal looking little chilli on it. Interesting.
- I have recieved my options :D!
I got Spanish, Business and Modern History, like I asked for.
- Dennis got evicted from the Big Brother house.
Because he spat on Mohamed's face. (This video contains a lot of strong language. Oh well)

What's your favorite type of donut?
Submitted by tomatshonino.Funny you should ask - KRISPY KREME doughnuts are in the UK -cheer-.
They've got serve yourself kiosks at Tesco supermarkets, and they're opening a chain of doughnut parlour things all over the country! I had my first KK donut on Thursday, and it was the best doughnut I ever had.
Krispy Kreme Glazed & Chocolate doughnuts are the best.
Big Brother's fine, it's shaping up nicely - Alexandra ("I'm not an It girl, I am IT") has started being mean to everyone, and she argued with everyone because Rebecca burnt the chips. She's decided to let Rex cook everything. She was being horrible and agressive ("How could I be aggressive? I was sitting down!"), so Big Brother called her to the Diary Room, to give her a warning. She then went to sleep on it.
Another thing I love is how Kathreya, being the peppy girl from Thailand she is, she just listens to people's conversations and looks really happy, or really sad, and in some cases, cries.
Euro 2008 (football) is on, taking place in Austria and Switzerland. England were knocked out by Croatia, and the other Home Nations knocked out by other countries, so England aren't in it. I decided to back Italy, because they won the World Cup. They only go and lose 3-0 to Austria.
Just under a year ago, I said how expensive the iPhone was at £369 + £35 a month. Yesterday, Apple announced the iPhone3G (which means it has better internet on the go) will sell at $199 in the US. The prices announced in the UK are £99 + £30 or £35 a month, or free + £45 or £75 a month.
Still sound pretty pricey, but O2 are going to sell it on Pay As You Go. Meaning it's just one payment, plus top up as you go, obviously. It could still be very expensive, but I think it might be £199. Possibly more, maybe even the £369.
Gives me something to save up for ^^!

They have put some absolute mad people in!
So we start with Mario (real name Shaun) and Lisa - a couple. They have gone in as a couple. More on that later.
Next is Luke, a student from Wigan. He doesn't swear, smoke or drink. He's mad.
Then we have Stephanie, a student from Liverpool. She applied to be on "Popstars: The Rivals", got through, then got disqualified because she was only 13.
Big Brother calls Mario, Lisa, Luke and Stephanie to the diary room. They have a secret mission. Mario and Stephanie are now a couple. Luke and Lisa have to cover it up. Their story is they've known each other for 8 months, and Mario is ten years younger.
Next is Rachel, a teaching student from Wales.
Next is Dale, who is really horrible. I'll say nothing more about him.
Dennis, who is a dance teacher is next in. He's from Glasgow and is nutty.
After him, we have Sylvia. She's mad too.
Next, is Mikey, a blind man from Scotland. Dennis has appointed himself as his carer.
Alexandra, an 'It Girl' much like Charley (check back to July on here for a picture of her as a clown :')) enters next.
Chef Rex, was next to enter. His family history is a bit odd.
After touching up his afro for a few minutes, Mohamed comes in next.
Rebecca comes in next. She was visibly overwhelmed.
Darnell, an albino black man who's been deported from the USA enters next.
Next is Jennifer, a model from Newcastle.
Saving the best for last, they put in Kathreya. She's an Asian woman who loves cookies. She took a jar of cookies into the house with her. She wants her gravestone to be built of cookies. She once dreamt she lived in a house of cookies. She's second favourite to win.
Odds:
Michael 3-1
Kathreya 6-1
Luke 7-1
Dale 10-1
Darnell 12-1
Rachel 12-1
Rex 12-1
Mohamed 12-1
Mario 18-1
Dennis 20-1
Rebecca 20-1
Jennifer 25-1
Lisa 33-1
Sylvia 40-1
Alexandra 50-1
Phew.

Let's start with one thing: BBUK is better than BBUS. But they tried to do Big Brother with the normal format in the USA in 2000-ish and it failed. Americans love their gameshows, hmm?!
Well Big Brother UK is less gameshow-y and more 14 people living in a house and people talk about it. It's full of twists and turns, and peoples favourites change rapidly. For example, last year, Laura, was the favourite from the first week. In the end, people turned on her as she argued and argued, and she did poorly.
We have some good twists, for example, Fake Week last year. There was a fake housemate, Pauline, who came over from Big Brother Australia... except she didn't. They built an accurate replica of the Diary Room from Big Brother Australia, and everyone believed it - even avid Big Brother Australia fan and eventual winner, Brian. On Friday, eviction day, there was a fake eviction day, where evictee, Charley, got an eviction where everyone was wearing white and being silent. The interview was played into the house. She then returned, and being the deluded little moose she was, she told them all that the crowd loved her and signs saying "WE LOVE CHARLEY" were being waved everywhere.
It also causes controversy. In the 2007 celebrity series, Big Brother 3 housemate, Jade Goody and her family went into the Celebrity Big Brother house and caused an international race row. Jade Goody, singer Joe O'Mara and someone who's famous for nothing, Danielle Lloyd, all bitched about Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. Comedienne Cleo someone-or-other and Jade Goody's boyfriend made up rhymes about Shilpa. On top of all that, mistakes were made on the televoting lines. It said "to evict JADE call..." and "to save SHILPA call...". The votes had to be cancelled and refunded. Shilpa went on to win the series, and Celebrity Big Brother was cancelled for that year to be replaced with...
Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack. A different 'celebrity' takes the role of Big Brother every day. They can do anything they want. The celebrities usually hold a task. On the first night, Little Britain comedian Matt Lucas gave housemate John an earpiece and gave him ridiculous instructions thought it. In return, he gave John a free pass to the final. John went on to win.
I might give you a running commentary tonight, of all the housemates going in ^^!
Its almost a week after, but I've not had time to post.
As you may or may not know, the United Kingdom came 25th in the 53rd Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade. 25 out of how many? 25 out of 25. We received 6 points from San Marino and 8 points off our good neighbours Ireland.
Speaking of neighbours, who won? Russia did, silly. All their 12 neighbours gave them points.
And with that I leave you with these three videos:
I love my Vox neighbours too ^^!
And here's the sad ending of the voting, where Terry Wogan hints at leaving:
What's your favorite midnight snack?
Submitted by Raina.Microwave-able burgers or oreos. Nommage.
I did my final exam, which wasn't easy, but wasn't hard. It was Spanish reading.
The chillis are growing fruits now. They're just little buds, but they're starting.
The cable on my MacBook is broken so I'm writing this with just short of an hour left of power. I'll see if they'll give me a new one under warranty on Friday.
Eurovision 2008 is in full swing. Its good so far. I'll be back on the PC soon.
