Sometimes it feels like Big
Brother sent every one of the housemates on a training course called
'how to create bother'. On scorching day with a luxury shopping budget
to spend, they still managed to have a good old squabble. The subject:
cigarettes. Adam lit the flame to Luke S's rollie by strolling out into the garden to announce that he thought that £120 worth of the budget should be spent on cigs and assorted paraphernalia. "NO," bellowed Luke S. "No way," concurred Becky. "We throw away more food than we ever throw away cigarettes," pointed out Adam. Conor, who had been dozing, lifted his head to say, "That's true." Point made, he lowered his head and got back to soaking up rays. Luke S had a whole lot more to say, perhaps motivated by his (failed) stint as a politician yesterday, he got very technical, mathematical and, even philosophical, arguing that cigarettes are not a necessity, they are an addiction. He didn't engage in much eye contact as his focus was very much on darning Sara's jeans, a strong look for any aspiring politician. Scott weighed in with a decadent announcement that they've got to the point where nothing needs to be rationed. Mwa-ha, they're rich beyond their wildest dreams. Then disaster stuck, Luke S's darning went awry. "Oh f**k, I've lost me f**king needle," he yelped in genuine distress. What will the final outcome be with regard to cigarettes? Check back on the website later when we'll be publishing the housemate's shopping list in all its glory. |
