Hi jet, I accept you hold your strong views as to Jim and I would never say you are wrong to have those views.
You have your opinion of him and that is your right.

I myself don't care at all for a lot of what he has done and said in the past and indeed I am surprised that I have come to even like him as a housemate.
I have though because he is doing exactly what you say,controlling himself in the main, which is something he 'never' could have done in the past.

For me however, how he is contolling his temper,I haven't a clue while he is around the vicious and miserable and awful Linda Nolan,who is also trying to push all buttons to make him look really bad herself.
Even I would have likely flared up at her by now bigtime already.

Thanks Joey, I always respect and value your opinions.
For me, they are pushing each others buttons. Jim isn't blameless here. I'd love to know what is behind him saying to her last night for the 3rd time in a week "Like another vat of wine dear?" before turning his back on her. Something to do with their past, I suppose?
Their spats are quite intriguing and a lot more interesting than the cringe worthy showmance so its all good.
