I'm firmly of the opinion that you shouldn't muck about with your bits... men nor women.

yeah, more fun mucking about with someone elses bits

That's just what I thought - though I bet Hippo's bits are very mucky indeed.

Ive got the olympic theme in my head and i cant get rid of it

Silver medal for David Davis in the 10k Marathon swim.

He lead for the entire race and amazingly pulled out a 7 or 8 metre lead in the final 800m but slightly swam offline which allowed the Dutch swimmer to catch and ultimately overtake him for gold (and only just).

Davis is currently receiving medical attention on the quay side but hopefully its just exhaustion. [just confirmed on TV he is okay and is now sitting up]

A great great swim and so very nearly a gold. A classic, titanic race

PS. Its been raining heavily in Beijing all day


Even the Beach Volleyball has lost its magic in the cold wet sand

Another Gold for Team GB

Success this time for Percy and Simpson in the Star Class yachting... and the very last sailing competition of these games. Previous to that, Britain won the final medal race in the Tornado class too but sadly not enough for a medal.

Britannia rules the waves

Glad DD is ok
and yay another gold

bloody dropped the baton again in the relay

oh well at least the Yanks followed suit

figuratively speaking

No medal in the BMX...

Poor Shanaze Reade falls in one of the semi-final heats but manages to win the next one.

In the final, she started up front but lost her lead to the French woman... then while maiking a valliant attempt to retake the lead she clipped the rear wheel of the French rider and again fell heavily from her bike. The French rider goes on to win and Reade fails to finish.

Not such a good day for Team GB thus far

I wonder if the great actress Lisa would audition for a part in the Zombie Drama...


Big Brother Zombie Drama

E4 has commissioned a new horror drama series set in a fictional Big Brother house.

The new five-part thriller, Dead Set, is written by Charlie Brooker and will be the centre-piece of E4’s autumn 2008 schedule.

The drama is set in a Britain where the walking dead are attacking the living. It stars Jaime Winstone as a production runner working on a fictional series of Big Brother who tries to fend off the walking dead alongside the remaining housemates.

Dead Set also features a range of cameo guest appearances including Davina McCall and several former Big Brother housemates.

In Dead Set the Big Brother house suddenly becomes one of the few remaining safe places in the country, with the contestants blissfully unaware of the horrific events unfolding outside. Until an eviction night where all hell breaks loose…

Charlie Brooker is well known for his weekly columns in The Guardian and his BBC 4 series Charlie Brooker’s Screen Wipe. Charlie co-wrote the Channel 4 comedy series Nathan Barley with Chris Morris and was the creator of the hugely successful TV Go Home website.

Brooker said: "Just as a shopping mall was the ideal setting for the original Dawn of the Dead back in 1978, so the Big Brother house seemed fitting for a TV zombie epic set in the 21st century. Dead Set isn’t an out-and-out comedy, but an unashamedly populist horror-thriller with blackly comic undertones. Think 24 with zombies. And housemates. And gore."

Angela Jain, Head of E4 said, “Charlie Brooker is a hugely talented writer. It's a real coup that he has penned something so unique for E4. Dead Set’s take on horror and the world of Big Brother will I hope, surprise and entertain viewers and be a real treat to watch."
