I have attempted to watch this once or twice in the past but found gazing at a bunch of people mooching around a room doing nothing much about as riveting as watching paint dry. Ok, ok, I know I have a low boredom tolerance threshold.

My reason for writing about it is because I noticed an article about it in a newspaper. The journalsit was complaining about the sort of things that people in the house did – like farting in the bathroom or plucking out extraneous hairs.

Since I don’t watch it I may be getting hold of the wrong end of the stick here – not as if  Mistress can do so – Mistress always has the right end of the stick! – anyway what I mean is, are the big brother inmates (oh all right, house mates) not permitted to fart for six weeks or however long it is they stay there?
