BB FANS

Speaks about all the bits and pieces he's been doing to his house while in Spain. Finding out Sissy from Big Brother was in Spain at the same time as him so he got an invite to a film premiere.

What I think at least is a joke when he says about Prince William arriving in Aberdeen and driving off in a dark green Range Rover, i.e. like the car he's just sold.

Eva Longoria being told she can't have a baby in the next year as it'll interefere with Desperate Housewife storylines.

How it's a hundred years since both Marks and Spencer died. Gives a wee bit of history about them and includes that Marks apparently died because of over-working and poor-quality cigarettes and Spencer from drink.

This week we hear about his computer breaking and being surprised how he missed it. Says he thought he mainly used it for working and "perhaps a little social function". He didn't mind it for the first wee while but after a few days he felt like he wanted to check his emails and was very glad when the guy who was fixing it called to say it was in working order again!

Wish Paris Hilton would "make up her mind" as one minute she's saying she wants away from "fame" and the next she's a rumour that's being lined up for "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!".

Nick Park who created Wallace and Gromit selling is 1958 Austin A53 van to raise funds for the Wallace and Gromit's Children's Foundation with the sale ending this Friday.

Being happy to hear Take That saying they'd happily have Robbie Williams back if he wanted to.

Wishing Aberdeen Football Club well in their first UEFA cup group game this week.

And here's the full thing!!

Seeing a trusty old friend again after a period of absence is always good. With particularly close comrades you can pick up where you left off and feel as though you’ve never been apart. Even those of us who like adventure and experiencing new things appreciate familiar sights and sounds, and even a familiar touch. I have a pal from college like that. We rarely get the chance to meet, but when we are in touch it’s just like we’ve never been away.
I would say I’m quite personable and I’d always choose socialising over watching the telly. There’s virtually nothing that keeps me in the house, glued to the box, if there’s an option to go out and see people. In fact, for three quarters of the year I could almost do without a television altogether.
It has come as quite a shock to me that the same can’t be said for my computer. I would have argued that I’m among the percentage of computer users who see it purely as a work tool, with perhaps a little social function. I use it mainly for emailing, writing, invoicing and that kind of thing. Or so I thought. I’ll concede that some of my emails are less work-orientated and more communication with friends. I hadn’t reckoned on how therapeutic I find the chatting function of messenger while I’m sitting working on articles or doing travel arrangements. And I must confess I am a member of a social networking site that appears to do away with the need for emailing amongst friends at all.
All this has come to light recently after my PC fell ill. It had to go to somebody who knows how to administer the tlc that machines like mine need in order to keep them up and running – I have strictly NO idea at all. To begin with I could do without it quite easily; I suppose I’m used to being away for a few days at a time and not logging on to the net every day. But after a few days of not having the blasted thing, I felt a sinister, creeping desperation to log in and check my emails. Probably just because I knew I couldn’t! When the repair man phoned to say that all was well again, the relief was enormous – much to my surprise. It was like hearing that an old friend had pulled through an operation!




It’ll be a nervous few days this week for the Aberdeen squad. Gearing up for their first UEFA group game in Greece on Thursday against Panathinaikos, it’s not just the heat they’ll have to contend with. Not only are their opponents top seeds in the group, it’s Aberdeen’s 100th UEFA match so the pressure is on! The even greater challenge is the fact that no Scottish club has won a game on Greek soil in the seven previous matches between teams from the two nations. Let’s hope Darren Mackie can do his stuff again and strike a winner. And hopefully there’ll be no equalizer this time. Go lads!



It was really good to hear on Friday night that boyband sensations Take That would take Robbie Williams back, if he wanted the opportunity. The famous four were on Jonathan Ross at the weekend and when he asked about Robbie, they all said that he was welcome to come back and join them. If the Spice Girls can reform, anybody can.



You’ll need to be quick if you want to own a piece of animated motoring history! Wallace and Gromit’s creator Nick Park is selling his 1958 Austin A35 van to raise funds for Wallace and Gromit’s Children’s Foundation. The van is in running order but needs a tax disc and MoT. Hurry – the internet sale ends this Friday!



I really wish Paris Hilton would make up her mind. I know a woman’s prerogative is to change her mind at will, but one minute we hear she’s had enough of fame, next we hear she’s one of the names touted for “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here”. Still, at least we’ve actually heard of her.

Thanks Jezi

Main bit is about the diet he did at the Rowett Institute a couple of years ago and hopes to start it again when he has a more regular lifestyle with panto. Mentions an American study where apparently men and women gain more weight over 5 years if they're married than if single.

Amy Winehouse saying she's giving up drinking before giving gigs and apparently she's doing well with this on her current UK tour.

When he went to South Africa to visit a friend a few years ago he went to Swaziland and read this week that the average male life expectancy there is 30 years and 9 months... he then realised his friend is 30 around Christmas.

Being happy to find out that 30% of a survey said they'd choose a black car if picking tomorrow and also that the Golf GTi is a recommendation by the User Car Car of the Year experts after buying his new car. His is black but says if he'd chosen silver it would've been easier to keep clean... (and we all saw that thing that got written on your car about tatties a while ago haha!)

Being glad to find his lawn had been newly cut when he got up one morning (did the fairies do it?!) as the smell of this is one of his favourite smells in the summertime. It is surprising to still need it cut at this time of the year.

Hahah, I'd forgotten about that!

[MOD EDIT: Post removed. This would be better discussed with Cameron by PM rather than on the forum. Thank you.]

Not before I read it and had a look lol

Sorry for delay... life's a wee bit busy at the moment.

Speaks about Radio Pudsey for Children in Need that he is hosting this week. Link to BBC if you want to listen.

Looking forward to being based in Glasgow for a few months but having problems sorting out Broadband, parking licenses etc for the flat.

Hosting the Aberdeen's Champion awards last Friday and speaks about what a special night it is honouring the people who really do inspire and do something for their community.

The amount models get paid and how the world's richest supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, got paid $33 million or £15.8 million last year!

How Monday was Pop Night in Orkney and youngsters go about asking "a penny for me pop" - the pop is a neepy lantern with a candle in it. It gets chucked on the bonfire at the end of the night.

Being happy that his new car went over the using 50 miles per gallon mark last week.

Thank you Jezi!

Speaks about his flat in Glasgow and how it hasn't turned out as badly as he originally thought. Mentions a friend of his who is up performing in The Producers in Glasgow at the moment and how the money they got to cover their accommodation wasn't nearly enough where as in most of the places it isn't a problem.

Being sad to miss a show that is going to be on in Aberdeen this week and recommending that folk buy tickets.

Really enjoying his stint on Radio Pudsey and all the different people he got to interview. He said Trinny and Susanna gave him some advice about his tights in panto but he said Susanna looked like she was dressed for panto herself! (rofl!!!!)

Lynne Franks (?) getting chosen to be a contestant on 'I'm a celeb blah blah blah' as she is one of Europe's most renowned public relations consultants - he says about how Ant and Dec are the best thing on the programme, especially with all the folk who nobody's even heard of.

The Land Rover that once belonged to the Dalai Lama being up for sale on an Internet auction site with a starting bid of $75,000.

I hear that was a pretty fabulous show

Main bit is about phobias and how he is a scared of heights but wouldn't necessarily call it a "phobia". How a charity abseil arranged by the BBC was called off because of the wind and he wasn't exactly gutted! Mentions his cousin who used to be scared of taking his own pants off the washing line but could manage to take the rest of the washing in.

Rehearsing for panto with Nikitta from The X Factor and saying she's good fun with a fab voice.

Being featured in a newly released "eligible batchelor" poll.

Going to see Marti Webb in the musical Hot Flush recently. He says he's "hopeless" when he comes to "women's business" but writes that it was a "great evening out" and that he'll "never view hormonal women in the same way again"!

Asking if people forget which side the petrol cap is on their car and if so apparently on the dashboard there's a wee picture of a petrol pump and if the nozzle is on the right the thingy is on the right and vice versa.

The Glasgow weather and how it was better this year when he first arrived as opposed to the seven weeks solid rain there was last year. The heavens did open this week but the main moan is about the state of the roads in Glasgow, especially considering they are hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Behind the house he is renting sounds like a bit of a nightmare road-wise and apparently there are dips in the road near traffic lights meaning you get splashed while waiting to cross!

Being glad to hear that the council have put the world 'Lord' back into the grace at Portree primary school's lunchtime after it was taken out due to a request from a parent.

Speaks about polybags and how he has recently found out that 28% of folk always take used bags with them and 37% do when they remember so it is great that two-thirds of folk are at least making an effort.

Annie Lennox releasing a single of a remixed version of 'Sing' which will raise funds for the Treatment Action Campaign. He has heard it on download and says it is great. Out 1 December.

How Nikitta from The X Factor used her ticket for the Take That gig for a stand-in prop at a panto rehearsal but Joyce Falconer (who plays the evil baroness) ripped it up by mistake!!!! Thankfully she got a replacement.

Main bit is about the panto and how much he's enjoying performing it to an audience after the intense rehearsal period. How Thursday was their Charity Gala performance and he got to meet Lorraine Kelly, apparently she's as nice as she seems on the TV and has said she'll be going back to see the panto again. Mentions the great mix of accents and the great fun in general.

Being surprised about Donald Trump's plans for the golf-course getting dropped. How it would've been great for the area but if there are reasons there are reasons!!

Angelina Jolie topping a poll called the Frigid 50 as she was criticised for her charity work and getting called an "unholy mix of Mother Theresa and Paris Hilton". George Bush was top for the guys.

Sad to be missing Michelle McManus singing at Foundation in Aberdeen on Friday.

Being amazed to see Now 68 on sale and remembering the first Now CD he bought.

This is a photo of Cameron with 2 fellow cast members. Check out the fabulous costumes, altogether they cost over £45,000 (though I'm assuming that's for the whole lot rather than just these three lol)!!
