aye tis true

Lol. I nearly fell over laughing when the letter came! I didn't think they would take me seriously. It was my first complaint, and the only reason I did complain as I saw a thread which was asking people to complain and stuff, and I was like "Why not?". lol. I wasn't deeply offended by it. lol.

So you complained for the sake of complaining? That's sad.

As much as Charley implying Gerry was a paedophile was wrong, the only person really to take offence from this comment is Gerry himself. I don't see how another impartial person could take offence from this unless you believed Charley and thought he was a paedophile.

Oh come on, I was bored. I needed something to pass the day. And I am a sad person, by the way. =)

You complained because you were bored :nono:

Good you complained she did call him a pedo she actually said the word pedo go look on youtube the day they were arguing.

Noel 12-08-2007 12:25 AM

Well if I wish to complain, I can. I didn't just complain about it for the sake of it. I could of complained about other things if I just wanted to complain about something. I thought her comment was unacceptable and I thought I would see what Ofcom thought. =)

Jack 12-08-2007 12:28 AM

But what good will complaining do unless you actually want to see Big Brother taken off the air? If everyone felt like you and had nothing better to do than they would have got 5 million complaints and you coul kiss the show goodbye.

Noel 12-08-2007 12:30 AM

I don't want it taken off air. One complaint about one incident won't get the show taken off air. Why are you being so serious about it? It's not the end of the world.

So what were the actual words that you heard Charley say?

Noel 12-08-2007 12:32 AM

I remember her saying he slept with 15 year olds and she did use the word "paedo".

My point was if everyone just felt like complaining then they would get millions of complaints then it would have been taken off the air.

I don't agree with people complaining about Big Brother, sometimes situations like that happen and if you don't want to hear it, then it's simple, don't watch it!
It's expected of Charley to do something like that. She's out now. Horray! So instead of complaining, vote a housemate out that you don't like by voting for them to be evicted.

Noel 12-08-2007 12:33 AM

Erm..what is there to answer?

Noel 12-08-2007 12:34 AM

Okay, then sorry for complaining then. I thought at the time, that it was necessary. I used my instinct, and if people have a problem with that, then I am very sorry.

Have you got a link to the argument where she says paedo?

By the way I'm not being funny, I just can't find it on youtube.

But did he tell her that or did she just come out with that comment(which would be a bit strange)?

Noel 12-08-2007 12:35 AM

Hehe! That's what Charley says!

Noel 12-08-2007 12:36 AM

He said he liked younger men, but didn't say 15 year olds. And she said 15 year olds. She was in rage and it just came out.

Sunny_01 12-08-2007 09:45 AM

I said previously that I dislike this culture of complaining about every little thing. I also said at the time that it was a personal comment that should Gerry wish to pursue he would be able to but not something "we" would get anything done about. Ofcom are busy enough without having to go through complaint after complaint about every little thing that comes out of a HMs mouth

I do watch the show for entertainment.And Charley sure wasn't entertainment.
Then dont watch it.

It's more watchable now...............:bigsmile:

Find something more interesting to do :)
Oh i've plenty of interesting things to do with my time and one of them was sending an e-mail to CH4............:laugh2:

Sam 12-08-2007 09:57 AM

If he wishes to complain, let him. It's a world which we live in that allows free will. Ofcom is used for people to complain about things that they've seen on tv which they have found uncomftable viewing or something that shouldn't have been shown.

If he wanted to complain then that's fine, don't have a go at him, and don't call him sad. What Charley said isn't a thing that should be encouraged and if you dont take action then nothing will happen to stop it.
