Cheers. It's nice to hear the facts from an insider who obviously knows all the ins and outs first hand. :p

it isnt rocket science and its good to know its the josie haters that are nitpicking.

I'm guessing that your guess is correct ..... ;)

From Josie's Twitter

Payment into BB9 Rachel's account was made within around a week of the final. It's done via bank transfer - no cheque to wait to clear or presentation to attend - and as BB already has all the bank details for each HM before they go into the house there's no delay.

Payment of PAs, photoshoots etc that come via an agent or from the company are another matter. These seem to take forever.

I think it's a bit early to start worrying about the will she won't she as there are lots of things that need to be in place before she can and she's only been out of the house a short while. :)

No, it wasn't :

So has she bought Steve his new leg yet?
 

Anybody know the answer ?

This is what you said in a thread yesterday. Now why are you starting a thread about someone who doesnt "impinge" on your world in any sort of way.

Stop being so negative and admit you just love bitching

This is a completley rediculous thread with you just assuming something you think is correct actually IS correct

Did you actually check the date the thread was started? No I thought not - SIX MONTHS AGO sweetie. You're the one who has trawled through ancient posts to try and have a pop at me - I'm beginning to think you have an unnatural obsession with me now:joker:

Now you mention it, as far as I'm aware Steve is still hopping around waiting for his new leg because you certainly don't know the answer now do you?

Thanks for reminding me about this as I must tweet Steve and see if motormouth Josie has actually fulfilled her promise to buy him his leg:wink:

Oh yes, please do :) I am also intrigued to know if she has.

Ah silly me, I saw the thread was at the top of the forum and assumed.

But you do seem to chat about her alot

Ok carry on piggy.

Oh and the obsession with you?...Im assuming your in your 30's

Clearly he saw it because Omah bumped it today not because he's "trawled through ancient posts"

Yup :)

I've just tweeted Steve and if our little friend above would care to do so himself the Twitter address is @SteveTheBaron. If I get a reply, I will copy and paste it on here. I really hope she has kept her promise - on top of all her other shortcomings, surely reneging on one she made in front of millions on national television will just make me despise her even more than I already do.

Now that's the nicest thing anyone has said to me all week, you little charmer you:pat:

Your older? :o

No-one seems to know the answer, so I have tweeted Steve directly to ask him. I doubt it because I'm pretty sure it would have been documented in some trashy mag or other.

Tsk tsk, "You're".

Well I have two sons in their 20s and a grandson - I thought everyone knew, I mention them a fair bit.

maybe she tried to get his leg but the guy/girl workers were scared that there man boobs or women boobs was gonna be touched by pop eye.:joker:

Well im not on here often.

So thats why you are so patronising towards me.

Because im the same age as your sons?

But no doubt im prettier :)

Ah, but my sons are drop dead gorgeous because of course they take after their mother:laugh:

Here is the answer. Not sure it is helpful to quiz Steve directly about it?

What a horrible woman

Well if Josie isn't getting him the leg (for whatever reason), I hope that enough people are galvanised into expressing their disgust to the government/nhs at the way injured servicemen are treated in this country. If Steve has turned down Josie's offer to pay for the leg, I should imagine it was down to pride and not wishing to be seen as a charity case.

(Hmm, quite a different story over on DS - seems no money was forthcoming from Josie for the leg, and it was left to NinaC "Let's Rock" single (which included Corin and Mario) to try and raise the money for him).

I don't care for Josie,mainly because of her association with JJames in the house,but being fair,if she offered to get him it and he's refused her offer then she can do little more really.

Steve was not anywhere being a housemate I liked in the house but I totally agree with angus58 that the Govt/NHS should give him a free leg after his military service and the horrendous injuries he sustained then.

Also trying to see humour in all things I love Jedward fevers comment above.

thanks i try to amuse.:joker:

If I recall there were a lot of twitter arguments on this issue, from what I recall Josie stated that she had tried to contact Steve but could not get through, Steve at the time said she had not contacted him so I guess at the end of the day she did not fulfill her promise, tbh it was a silly promise to make but then housemates have often promised things in the house as a way of gaining public votes.
Ben was the only one that I recall saying that he would have his own family and commitments to spend the money on if he won, all the others seemed to want to shout about giving moneyfor Steves leg.
Tbh it would be lovely if all servicemen and indeed all physically handicapped people could have top of the range, all singing and dancing equiptment but its not possible, Steve always had the option of limbs through the NHS, just not the state of the art ones he wanted:blush:

You seem far better informed than I am so I bow to your knowledge on this matter.Thanks for putting me right on that.
Steve did seem a rather difficult person to deal with so I can accept you are right.

Ben was the only honest one in the house.He said what he meant and meant what he said.

I am not that well informed and could be wrong, there was so much angst about Steves leg between him and Josie that I figured he just could not be bothered to bow and scrape to Josies pleasure, lets face it if you were in the same position and you felt that your supposed benfactor was just using you for lets say publicity sake, while never actually intending to follow through on their promise you would most likely tell them not to bother as well.
Yes I think Steve could be a difficult man but then he never asked anyone to buy him a leg.
I agree re Ben, very honest, in fact too much so as it was his downfall:blush:

So the answer's "No", then ..... :sad:

That's about the size of it.

My point is that servicemen and women in particular should ALWAYS be eligible for state of the art NHS treatment, equipment, prosthetics etc, by virtue of the unique job they do in service of their country. I truly believe they should be a special case.

As for other disabled people, there would be a lot more NHS money and resources available if they clamped down on overseas health tourists and cleared at least 50% of the bureacratic fat cats out of hospital and health trust management. Let's face it, the NHS is another example where limited resources have been stretched way too far.

Similarly too much funding is directed towards people who have self inflicted health issues, such as alcoholics, drug addicts and the morbidly obese. Perhaps there should be additional contributions from those who overload the NHS because of their own irresponsibility. If they can afford booze, drugs and massive amounts of food, they can afford to pay for their own treatment.

But I guess a discussion about the failings of the NHS should be reserved for another thread!

Back on topic - don't promise what you can't or won't deliver.
