Linda banging on about cherry brandy!
 

It's only when it's Jim that she gets her knickers in a twist. She's just looking for reasons to pick at him all the time. Gawdsakes get her nommed and out.

I know, right? I hate that woman so much. If i was in there she'd drive e mad! :rant:

She is so bitter towards him...it's actually very sad

She takes everything he says as a personal criticism when he's not even saying anything to her. It's just sad to watch.

Can you imagine what you would think though if she didn't drink the brandy but drunk a load of wine but then tried to make out how innocent and thoughtful she was by not drinking alcohol.. That would be worse.. This is the first time she genuinely ad a point to be pissed at Jim..

Agree with this. She's trying to think 3 or 4 steps ahead to work out what Jim is actually trying to say rather than just taking it on face value. Regardless of what people think of Jim or his past or the feud her behaviour is completely irrational.

She was genuinely pissed, that's for sure. Alcohol and a feud don't mix well.

Exactly. Jim was playing the martyr once again.

God there are so many Linda threads

What do you mean he was playing the martyr? Genuinely asking, I've seen a few people post this tonight and am interested to know why you feel that way

Housemates asked if they had alcohol

He said we had brandy but I didn't have any

Despite drinking a load of wine

He just wanted to play the hero, making the other 4 look bad in comparison when really hes just as bad.

Did you have alcohol?

We had brandy but I didn't have any.

...... Oh wait, he had red wine, so he did have alcohol.

He said "we didn't drink them", not "I didn't drink it"

We had brandy, but I didn't have any - meaning he didn't have any brandy... I mean come on, that's reaching a bit, the guy then came back out with more alcohol and dumped it outside and spilled it (total dick move :laugh:), he obviously meant he didn't have any brandy.

She is so vile

He didn't have brandy, everybody else did

He just tried to make out that he was better than the other housemates because he was uber loyal and thoughtful to give Dappy half a boner.

I would have called him out on it too because I think he attempted to make himself look better than the rest when really hes just a guy who dislikes brandy and wants to get brownie points out of it

Can we just clarify that Jim never said that he personally didn't drink it lol, if anything he was protecting Linda by saying that none of them had drank it



Just the first few seconds: "they even sent us in a cherry brandy liquor thing, and we didn't drink them"

They'd agreed as a group not to mention the alcohol.

So why do you think he brought it up?

Give it a few days and he'll be building a pyre in the garden and burning himself at the stake.

Linda openly volunteered the information that she'd had some of the brandy and then when Dappy said "thanks Jim" she turned on him and then suddenly that was Jim's fault. It's not normal behaviour, MrWong, I fail to see how anyone can blame Jim for what Linda did there.

How was he protecting her? lol

If she kept schtum and went along with what he said she'd look like a liar because she drank hers.

Because no one would have known she'd drank hers if she hadn't volunteered that information herself

I agree. Jim is probably still my 2nd favourite HM in there but I thought it was blatantly obvious what he was trying to achieve with his comment and its put me off him a lot.

Some people clearly hear differently from what's actually being said.

The viewers would have.

So we would still have a million threads but they'd instead be calling her a lying greedy cow for going along with Jim and taking credit for not drinking it when she actually did.

No we wouldn't. Let's replay the scenario:

Jim: "They even sent us in a cherry brandy liqueur thing and we didn't drink them."

Linda: doesn't say anything

Dappy: "Thanks Jim."

Conversation moves on.
