BIG Brother bore Jon Tickle seems destined to stay single — judging from his theories on romance.

Jon, 29, who admits _not having had a girlfriend for ten years, tried to impress Justine with a massage.

He baffled her about dating, saying: “If lightning strikes, I’ll run with it — but I’ll _not go looking for it.”

Then he told Cameron finding love is like picking prizes off the conveyor belt on TV’s Generation Game.

His baffling theory is revealed below.

YOU have only one prize to pick — and you k_now there are, let’s say, 30 prizes on the conveyor belt.

They are coming through one at a time. But what makes you stop the conveyor belt and say you want a prize?
The mathematical way is to look at the first ten items — the first third.

Then the first thing you see out of the next two thirds is better than anything you have seen before.

Because if the first ten items are spread evenly on the good or bad scale, you will get a few things in the 90 per cent area.

It’s unlikely you are going to get the 100 per cent best item in your first third. So pick the best thing in the next two thirds. Then you’re going to get something pretty good.

Pardon??

OK, just what is he going on about

[Mairi]

He's totally lost me too, I'm afraid.

[kaphc]

I think he's on about mathematical probablity, though how he relates that to finding a girlfriend seems odd to me!

[bananarama]

If he hasn't had a girl friend for ten years! Who was that girl (Woman) on BBLB last night telling Dermott after he probed that they have been kissy kissy quite recently. A very baffled bananarama today who has forgotten to take his anti baffle pills.

A few more of Jon's sayings:

"Oh, I had the most wonderful game of Risk once.
I marched all the way from England, across Asia, down through south-east Asia, into Australia in one move.
No-one even suspected it and I'd been planning it for half a dozen moves."

"Oh you do set yourself up love, don't you"?

"Terry Pratchett has a great physicist sense of humour"

"The chairs still crap"

"There's so many physics words that start with P. There's Physics and Protons...."(silence)

and my special favourite:

"People who go to university don't walk backwards through doors"


The man is a comic genius, don't vote him out this week, please
