I mean one rumour was that the prize fund had been upped to £1 million, but then another rumour says that housemates will have to earn the prize money. I know these probably aren't true, but if you're going to make up a rumour, make sure it's going to make sense!

Do you know what I mean?

[Ruth*Star]

i know what you mean, i think some of them sound ridiculous.

[Noel]

well, they wouldn't be rumours if they weren't ridiculous, would they? especially when big brother is concerned.

oh, by the way, im noel. im new. lol.

[Ruth*Star]

Yeah and i know and welcome to the forum noel.

[Noel]

[eyeonu]

Hi noel and I know what you mean. They've been terrible ths year!

[Noel]

why thank you! i took it from the bb them from last year!

yours are very nice too! is that guy someone from hollyoaks or something?

i've just realised we've gone completely off topic. lol. are we allowed to do that?

[Noel]

hey eyeonu! thanks! and i no! i would like something a little realistic! lol.

[Mrluvaluva]

At the end of the day, they are just rumours. Nobody will believe anything until it actually happens. It will be inyeresting to see what actually happens.

[Noel]

i suppose. i hope some of them are true, and i hope some of them aren't true. lol.

i liked the calm ocean theme rumour.
i hate the battle rumour!

[Red Moon]

Yep....

It happens every year people think it makes them important so the make up rumors none of which turn out to be true. It's basically attention seeking and hides the truth when it does appear.

A good example of that was the fake eye clip that appeared on here a few days ago. What that has done is make people bite anyone that says they have seen the eye now. Of course the eye will be shown soon and as soon as someone says they have seen the real eye no one will believe them.

A little story for you

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

here once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

[eyeonu]

Yeah, I just want the real thing now!

So true!

[Noel]

i agree, eyeonu, and i love that story! lol.

[eyeonu]

Sorry, I was just looking at your profile, BB7 launched on your birthday last year then. Was it a good present?

[Noel]

i remember last year the one rumour i couldn't stop laughing at was the one about the cow. i was in stitches! i was like who could have come up with such a random rumour! lol.

[Noel]

omg! yea. the best ever! i was so happy! i nearly had a bb7/birthday party, but decided not to, as i would miss the launch night. lol.

[eyeonu]

lol, I was away so I missed it but I remember even Davin mentioned it on the launch night!

[Noel]

mentioned what? sorry. im slow. lol.

[eyeonu]

the cow rumor!

[James]

The million pound rumour was made up by a fan-site and the prize money rumour came from the Daily Star so not exactly the most reliable sources, either of them.

[Noel]

i know! even thinking about it now makes me giggle!

[Noel]

i know, but i was just saying that if you're going to make up a rumour, make sure it's believable and not contradicting another. i know i shouldn't really be giving out tips on how to create rumours. lol. but i am just saying.

Maybe we should e-mail both of them Aesops little story "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"
