At the end of last night's show Nasty Noirin called Marcus "Thing".

What an evil, manipulative witch!

[Marc]

LOL poor Marcus

[karezza]

She is just using Marcus.

Get the wicked witch of the west out.

[Oooo_get_her]

That's a Dublinism.

It's just on a par with calling him 'whatshisname' or 'yer man' (another Irish expression).

There's nothing more to it than that - she just didn't want to say his name because she didn't want to be overheard talking about him by other HMs I guess.

[Saywhat]

Well that hjas to be the first time Noirin has said anything sensible...Marcus is a thing...as well as the daddy of all stalking bunny boilers!

Watch the last 10 minutes of last night's show.

Marcus is a typical example of a groomer
She is scared of him and thinks she needs him at the same time
Noirin is just a typical victim - low self esteem and needs her self worth bolstering with compliments - thinks she's a sexy body and nothing else
Needs a man to do her thinking and protecting
As to whether she is attracted to the man is of no consequence He serves his purpose

[IsleOfWeather]

she said Ting anyway

and then did her little "her..her...her" laugh

Well said! If I was Noirin I wouldn't let Marcus have my address. He may well turn out to be a Barry George type of scary man.

Sorry but it's an Irish "thing" , it's meant not as an insult, alot of Irish people say this when they can't think of someones name or don't want to mention it

[Beso]

Good discription.

They are still in the top 5 of the most entertaining and best housemates though.

[Marc]

she didn't mean it viciously.. she just didn't want to say his name aloud just incase someone over heard her talking about him ?

She told him the score in the bathroom and then walked out. He didn't take any notice and continued stalking her. I think he would wear her clothes under his World Gym shirt if he could.

"Thing" lol she is supposed to be his friend, wat a cow!

[Saywhat]

Noirin actually called Marcus a cock blocker in the diaryroom now she was spot on there LOLOL ROLF!

[Cody™]

Yea, because calling someone a 'thing' makes em a evil witch.

She's Irish, and it's an Irish phrase, it's not meant the way you're making out. We always say it, like "I told thingy that I wasn't going out".... etc.

[loomy]

I love the way she says thing in her irish accent

[CaraRawr]

Omg

[bigbrothermaniac008]

thats the kind of attitude i love "thing" love it- theres only so much marcus she can take!

[loomy]

Why are people still commenting on this as though she has done something bad and totally disregarding the posts stating that it's a common Irish phrase?
