Do You Remember the Tennis Ball Guy ?

[JTM45]

I forget which Series it was exactly but i loved the whole 'Tennis Ball Gate' incidents.:laugh: I know it was Channel 4 ('Golden Age' if you will) era BB.

He started hoi-ing tennis balls with messages written on them over into the garden with a custom homemade catapult ball launcher.

I remember that after it happened a few times and the housemates found them the guy posted a video on Youtube of him with the assistance of his young son launching the balls from a kinda' slightly wooded area near the house. Classic BB fan inventive-ness!

I believe that was when and why they first fitted the net stretched over the garden wall.

Those were the days!!!:dance:

No real need for anything like that these days though as they tell them more in there than you could fit on a thousand tennis balls. :bored:

I think the first time BB deliberately left the ball in view to stir things up.

I recall when Dexter found one with a message about one of the other HMs.? I don't recall the exact details but the way he played it was funny and good viewing.

Yeah, that one was much later on.
I'm not even sure how they were getting them in there at that time ? Maybe they stopped using the net for a bit.

We never actually got to really see what was on the ball but Dexter did play a blinder with the situation. Loved Dexter! :laugh:
