[Romantic Old Bird]

A statement

Last year I saw a very ordinary couple fall in love over eight weeks.

It was sweet, poignant and heart warming. I, along with many other people, was totally captivated and charmed.

This week I have seen a gym teacher in a longterm relationship proposition a woman he has known for a few days. Despite professing to bisexuality and a slight moral dilemma about the girlfriend she is obviously 'up for it'.

I was sincerely hoping this wouldn't happen.

I saw everyone else snuggling up and stroking each other, and resigned myself to the animalistic tactile nature of some of these housemates.

However, this morning I turn on the TV to see that Spencer and Kate are wrapped around each other in bed. I know no more and don't want to.


Last year we had, on day 57

'Be honest, do you two canoodle in the den?'

This year, we have Alison trying to wake Kate on day10 so that she doesn't miss her shower. Spencer feigning continued sleep is wrapped around her like an octopus.

'I don't care, if I do miss the shower, I'm staying here and going back to sleep'.

How proud her parents must be.

I am obviously an old prude and have no place here. No wonder the ratings are up. Soft (for the moment) porn on national TV.
Dumbed down for a nation of lacivious voyeurs in a desperate effort to rival the world cup.

You can keep it.

Thanks Kate and Spencer, I was ill for a while, and now I think I'm cured.

Let me know if it improves.
