so, the brassy driven estate agent won the 1000 pounds....he surprised everyone by getting soft abt it.... missed watching his turn as host...the anthropologist and the warbling singer-actress tied at 4th posn...not surprisingly...though, the bravest of the lot was linda, the anthrop, with her exotic what-the-hell-is-that dishes which didnt taste or look very right, and her South Indian prawn curry...fishmonger came second while the perfectionist gay interior designer proved its not all abt the packaging...too clinical in the end..he came 3rd, thanks to john's clever stingy 6! will miss this bunch...they were a funny lot, totally different sorts...especially the girls...had got hooked in a sort of way.

so the brit big brother's pete...i couldnt care less...havent watched it ever...just some snippets of couple of dodgy-looking people sitting around talking abt someone whos been evicted maybe, and girl shaving in the bath etc...am not being snobbish...just wasnt gripping me buds...tho theres a huge fan following here, it seems per the sun etc...intels are already dissecting its socio-cultural meaning etc....yada yada....gas.

its raining again...

i love how the brit media's so irreverent abt their political heavyweights, especially the PM...they just stop short of throwing pies at his likeness...the writing style very tongue-in-cheek...generously doling out sarcasm and wit ...

'snakes on a plane'...another critter-disaster flick....trashy and entertaining, per the review...hmm, my kind of brain-on-a-holiday stuff...

ta!

yes, gem, i do find myself watching the tv quite a bit...none of the soapy stuff tho, thankfully...i meant the print media here - refreshingly n unapologetically blunt, not like apna infuriatingly PC media back home...
