Baz Ok , thanks El .....I think they did say it would be back in the autumn....hopefully [ more ]
El Loro Baz, I don't think Channel 4 have said when it will be back. I think they will decide once there's enough material to justify further episodes. The project is due to end around the end of the year so they might have a few episodes say in October and the rest early next year. [ more ]
Yogi19 Thanks for the links, El. [ more ]

BBC Prom : Reinterpretation of the music of David Bowie
Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesEnthusiastic Contrafibularities
Kaffs Did anyone watch? My final opinion was that those I mentioned, Hannon, Buchanan, Mvula were great, the rest was a bit of damp squib. Prententious crap on the whole and Marc Almond ( who I have always liked) was absolutely rubbish and should be ashamed. [ more ]
Kaffs Might save the rest of this for later. For now though.. Neil Hannon, Paul Buchanan and Laura Mvula are brilliant. However, I'm wonder if him upstairs might consider trading us back Bowie for a night or two in return for Marc Almond who was appalling.... [ more ]
Kaffs Neil Hannon's like the best Bowie tribute act ever. I was in the kitchen when he first started singing and I had to go and look at the telly to see if it was film of Bowie himself [ more ]

Big Brother Survey
Eugene's LairEugene's Lair
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities To be honest I can't see the point in C5 having these surveys and less point in any of us completing them. They either take no notice of them or we (GGJJ forum members) are in a minority and everyone else completing the surveys actually love the current format and type of housemate. [ more ]
Eugene's Lair Not for the first time with BB surveys either... In fairness, though, some of the questions were time-sensitive, e.g. "Do you intend to watch CBB?", so it was never going to be kept going for too long... [ more ]

Yogi19 She sounds lovely, Rog, I'm glad you had someone like her on your side. [ more ]
Former Member Yes, its important to point this out Yogi . My very first CPN was similar, used to bring me little treats and even things from her house when she was having a clear out, and knew I didn't have much money at the time. She took steps under Adult Safeguarding procedures to make sure I was ok as I'm a recluse more or less. She even texted me Happy New Year a whole year after she'd left community work, to work nights at the local hospital. I sent her a bunch of flowers, it was such a small... [ more ]
Yogi19 Rog and Velvet My only experience of MH nurses are people I know personally. One works with teenagers and younger children in the community, and is a caring and committed MH nurse who tries her best to make a real difference in the young people's lives. The other works with adults in the community and is also committed and caring. The standard of care you two have received is horrifying and the worst thing is, there must be more people who have suffered the same treatment as you. [ more ]
