not all men of his age are like that.
In fact, I don't know of any in real life.
He was a miserable twit when he was younger as well...born angry.

I know that, lol, I never said they were all the same, I;'m saying Jim is perfectly portraying the stereotype.

forgive me.

Lionel is 20+ years older than Jim but can relate to younger people. Jim can't.

Would rather enjoy a quiet pint and a good chat with Jim down the local boozer than spend a night with those awful shrieking women they've got in there, Jasmine is just a sorry state in her 30s but still with a compulsive need to dance to Katy bloody Perry whenever it comes on

Statements like this come from the young that cant understand how rudeness and perpetual potty mouth antics effects how we older people feel about life. Wait till you are old and you will see what I mean. Older people are not miserable, they are simply less tolerant to things that annoy them and the older we all get, the less we suffer fools or tolerate stupidity. Everyone loves a good laugh but there are diplomatic parameters that need not be crossed and the young seem to be loosing manners and respect for everything around them and its not hard to see why we old farts get the monk.

Then maybe he should have gone to the local pub than on CBB. Then you could watch him hit his wife after.

11.09pm: Linda: "I can't be two-faced." Jim: "You should try it, it'll open up a world of possibilities." #bbuklive

Poor Jim has to have this hag going on and on,lol

[CaudleHalbard]

Have to say watching 30-ish people like Jasmine, Lee and Casey reliving their teenage years is not particularly edifying either!

You said it Benjamin. Never a truer word but he will probably be saved as he is a so called legend. I never heard of him before CBB. Go home Jim and count your comedy awards or whatever!!!!

Don't get me wrong Jim's been a big character for the series, but I hate how some people on here and DS make out that his perfect and can do no wrong, and that the "evil girls" should be evicted for having fun while ignoring the fact that Jim's xenophobic comment of calling Jasmine "the American girl" which I haven't seen a thread for it on here so far actually.

Why is that xenophobic? Just sounds descriptive to me, to distinguish her from the others

He's always been a grumpy bugger. I think I'd have more to talk to him about than I would with most of the other house mates if I were to meet them but I wouldn't really enjoy his company I don't think.

Why couldn't he call her Jasmine? He knew her name so there was no excuse for it. It actually reminded me of Speidi's year when the rest of the Housemates couldn't be bothered to call them by their names so called them "the Americans" instead.

He knows her name, as well as everyone else. I'm an American though and can't say I'm too bothered about it.

I just personally find it rude when people get called by their nationality instead of their name, it would be kind of like the Housemates calling Evander "the black guy" I don't think the public would react very well to it so I don't get why referring to someone by their nationality is accepted.

I agree with you and I think a lot of people would find it offensive and I'm not too fond of it either. Like you said in your post earlier they referred to Speidi as "the Americans" so much that I'm just tired of it. I do think that it is condescending though and that it is inferring that Americans are inferior to Brits.
