The Fish 8977 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Have you considered writing for N-O? 137472[/snapback] I have <---Kyzer Sosay 137483[/snapback] Do you write for N-O though? I know you post on there as KS. 137487[/snapback] yup, wrote this, this, this, this and this. those are in reverse chronological order. bear in mind I have never studied the form and styles of writing beyond GCSE English... so be gentle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Agree with the sentiments of those, after giving them a cursory glance. I think you're trying too hard to shoe-horn in too many analogies though on occasion. I think you write better when it's more natural, if you know what I mean.

The Fish 8977 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 yeah cheers, it does read like I'm some kind of pretentious student wanker at times haven't written anything since last year, been too focussed on this shitty shitty degree. if there is a man on the planet more in need of a pint and a blowjob I'd like to shake his hand and offer my condolences.

It's hard to write articles though, it's hard to stay focussed on a particular topic and it's hard to be critical about your own work, which you have to be. I think the best articles are reasonably pithy and to the point, which is difficult in itself. Fair play for having a go as well.

spongebob toonpants 3594 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Well so far this year Ive given up drinking, weed and illegal stimulants - I might as well add Big Brother to the list. I do think it is fantastic television a lot of the time though, but now that I spend all my time in the clutches of online poker I just cant afford the time.

The central truth, that all the contestants go in trying to play a part, and not a single one is able to prevent the breaking down of their artifice. All eventually revert to type, some disintegrating spectacularly, some disapearing under a cloud of dullness, but the journey they take is the strength of the concept, even if that is not the programmers intention. On a different level, its also a fantastic soap admittedly one that has periods of utter utter boredom, but thats what you get from having real people. Shame you cant see past the posturing of the contestants and the easy snobbery of disdain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Series 7 will be the first series to allow a random member of the public to enter the house. 100 golden tickets will be placed in Kit-Kat chocolate bars, granting the finder a chance to enter the Big Brother house. The competition begins at 10:30pm on May 18 2006, the launch date of Big Brother. Chocolate bars, statistically Gemmill has got to be the winner of this! As for the programme it is shite and filled with complete cocks who are there to try and be famous and (thanks to our current moronic society) actually have a chance of being famous. But it is watchable shite now and then, if theres nowt better on at night and i do find myself seeing bits of it here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8977 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 but spongey, it's not an investigation into the dynamic of people in a confined space under scrutiny. The popularity of the show means that those that apply aren't doing it "for something new, a challenge", they're not doing it to win the £75,000, they're doing it for the lucrative tv/pop/book deals at the end of it. it's a popularity contest where the folk in it are precisely the kind of people you'd avoid in the real world. I've yet to hear of a contestant who didn't sound like the social equivalent of dragging a cheese grater across your gonads. this isn't easy disdain, this isn't snobbery based on some public opinion, this is me detesting that this shite has become what passes for entertainment. don't worry I feel as contemptuous of Pop Idol, I'm a no mark who's career went down the pan ages ago, get me a book deal, X-Factor, etc. etc. etc. it's cheap, easy television which requires no engaging from the audience. All they need do is spend their money voting... fucking hell, read a book, rent a movie, do something... don't just vegetate in your house watching people vegetating in theirs.
