She'd been drinking and I think she thought that everyone has the potential to be "bi", so she had a shot. She's a university lecturer in social work. Do I want to ruin her career because of that? Nope.

Nah, I really couldn't be asked. :nono:

Of course that hasn't stopped people bringing Jim into the conversation on threads that weren't about him.

did you feel violated? The situation you describe, it does;'t sound like you feel violated or intimidated in anyway. It sounds like you never felt afraid or scared.

I think that's a difference, because there is such a power imbalance between men and women.

I am more with you, this thread is about Jim but in the main him moaning at not being able to get sleep, the main instigator of the noise was Luisa, Dappy had already cooled his noise down by then.
So she is a very valid target on this thread in my opinion since if she wasn't making the ridiculous noise all the time, Jim would not have been complaining.

Also, earlier in this thread someone said, why doesn't Jim have a lie in if he is tired, they cannot lie in, BB gets them up every morning at whatever time BB dictates.
They don't have an option to lie in.

Some people seem to have been watching a different show from me. Jim didn't ask or expect everyone to be quiet. He was sitting minding his own business with a cuppa when Dappy came out and commented on him sitting out there, so he explained he wanted peace and he didn't want Dappy to say anything, because he/it was alright. He was obviously knackered and ashen-faced and he's maybe not at his best late at night. Fair dos.

With the best of intentions, Dappy took it upon himself to go and say to people that Jim wanted to go to bed. What's the problem with that? Wee small hours.. Jim's tired .. they all share a room ... But Linda immediately launches into her favourite mode of being vile about Jim in a loud voice so he'd hear, and the cut meant that we didn't hear what else was said, but no doubt he'd have heard more, because Luisa has a voice like a foghorn and is never slow to voice her opinions. How is any of that Jim's fault? Yeah, he was really grumpy thereafter, but so what - I don't blame him: I cannot stand the nasty atmosphere that Linda creates with her bitching, and Luisa is Linda's staunchest ally and sidekick now, so he wouldn't necessarily have seen the humour in her calling him "The Grim Reaper".

I'm not a Jim fan: I've never seen his show, and I'd probably hate it if I did, but he is getting a raw deal from some of the people in that house, and I don't think it's deserved.

Old people have become much more disruptive and unruly, and something needs to be done to discipline them.

I blame Cameron and the conservative government.

In fairness to Jim he didn't complain, he removed himself from the garden and the bedroom, Dappy did the complaining for him :joker: and I agree with your point about Denise, the outrage over her getting down with the kids and now the outrage over Jim not is just too much, (though from her BOTs appearance a few nights back I think she is embarrassed about it now and wishes it would go away).

..yeah, I did say if the reaction was to either go off to somewhere quiet or be grumpy..(read my posts/joking..:laugh:...)..but yeah, I do think that whatever the reaction/if they're down with the kids like Denise, the media will paint it as negatively and then that obviously gives us loads to 'discuss'...LOL...

That was brilliant, a bit of tit for tat, I don't think there are any alarms this year not heard one yet or nothing mentioned on the twitter feed, BB going easy on them :nono:
