Deputy Prime Minster John Prescott has announced he is to give up his grace-and-favour home, Dorneywood although I imagine he has decided to hold on to the £133,000 a year salary.

The nominations have been announced and Lea, Richard and Sezer are up for eviction this week! Sezer seems to be the bookie’s favourite to be booted out at the moment.
Here are a few of the best quotes so far.
Dawn on being disqualified:
“Oh shut up, oh shut up, oh shut up, oh shut up, oh shut up…oh shut up, oh shut up, oh shut up, oh shut up, oh shut up, oh shut up…oh shut up, oh shut up, oh shut up, oh shut up…”
Nikki’s demand to Big Brother:
(in screaming exorcist style) “I NEED BOTTLED WATER!!”
Bonn-eh’s audition:
“I’m funn-eh, I’m sex-eh, an’ everyfing, an’ everyfing…”
Nikki:
“I haven’t even done a poo today…you can ask Big Brother.”
Shahbaz to Big Brother:
“I’m tired of just being a National Insurance number!”
Nikki when first meeting Sezer:
“What? Like Caesar salad?”
11-year-old Maisie, describing Lea during the Meal or No Meal task:
“She looks a bit iffy, I don’t like her. She’s a bit horrible.”
Nikki to Big Brother:
“I can’t sleep in there … someone’s been infumigating the room with farts…I might suffocate.”
Big Brother during the Meal or No Meal challenge:
BB: “What event is Sezer celebrating in this childhood photograph?”
Mikey: “Er…his birthday?”
BB: “Incorrect. It was his circumcision.”
Nikki during the ‘salmon incident’:
“FINE…(hyperventiulated sobs)…I’LL BE BY MYSELF, I’LL BE BY MYSELF…(more hyperventiulated sobs)…SO YOU LOT CAN JUST ENJOY YOURSELVES!”
Glyn on school days:
“They threw rocks at me, I don’t know why?”
Sezer on another Imogen refusal:
“Thanks Imogen, you just blew me out in front of about 3 million people…”
Mikey to Glyn:
“Have you ever gone cow pushing?”
Shahbaz to Glyn:
“When I do [touch you] just imagine I’m one of your straight rugby friends, ok?”
Pete attempting to console Lea:
Lea : “They only booed me cause they think I have blonde hair and and big boobs”
Pete : “But you have got blonde hair and big boobs”
President George W. Bush was scheduled to visit the Episcopal Church outside Washington as part of his campaign to restore his poll standings. Bush’s campaign manager made a visit to the Bishop, and said to him “We’ve been getting a lot of bad publicity because of the president’s position on stem cell research, the Iraq war, Katrina, and the like. We’d gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if during your sermon you’d say the President is a saint.” The Bishop thought it over for a few moments and finally said, “The Church is in desperate need of funds and I will agree to do it.” Bush showed up for the sermon and the Bishop began:
“I’d like to speak to you all this morning about our President. George Bush is a liar, a cheat, and a low-intelligence weasel. He took the tragedy of September 11 and used it to frighten and manipulate the American people. He lied about WMDs and invaded Iraq for oil and money, causing the deaths of tens of thousands and making the United States the most hated country on earth. He appointed cronies to positions of power and influence, leading to widespread death and destruction during Hurricane Katrina. He awarded contracts and tax cuts to his rich friends so that we now have more poverty in this country, and a greater gap between rich and poor, than we’ve had since the Depression. He instituted illegal wiretaps when getting a warrant from a secret court would have been a mere administrative detail, had his henchmen lie to Congress about it, then claimed he is above the law.”
“But compared to Dick Cheney and Karl Rove; George Bush is a saint.”
George, the posh one has decided that life in the House isn’t for him, and he’s told Big Brother and best buddy Grace that he wants out.
And this afternoon, before the first round of nominations, George unplugged his microphone, asked for his bag, and left the House for good.
John Prescott (or should I say Two Shags), is in trouble yet again. This time for pulling a sicky and playing croquet when he should have been running the country.

If you need a break from Big Brother, I can throughly recommend the documentary Tank Man which aired on More 4 tonight. Its repeated this Friday. Its about the Tiananmen Square massacre and also about the man who along with the aid of some shopping bags stopped a column of tanks. Its very moving and inspiring. More info
In the aftermath of the brutal Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, newspapers and TV programmes around the world displayed the image of this lone figure in a white shirt, carrying nothing more dangerous than his shopping bags, holding up a column of Chinese tanks. But no one’s really sure who he is. Indeed, Time Magazine also had to call him “the unknown rebel”.
This fascinating programme explains the events leading up to the Tank Man’s solitary protest, presents the terrible reality of the massacre at Tiananmen square, and explores the Tank Man’s continuing influence and significance, and the ongoing mystery about who he actually was.
Two housemates have entered the Big brother house. Pete won them in the Meal or No Meal contest that has been running in the house over the past few days.
One is a bleach blonde called Aisleyne.
Aisleyne says she would love to become a famous pop star and admits that her current job has a ‘shelf-life.’ She lives with her flatmate and a cat called Princess and says one of things that most irritates her is when people can’t get her hair straight!
The other is someone called Sam who I think is either a transvestite or a transexual.
Sam is a bingo-loving Princess Diana fan who once spent £495 on a designer handbag! He says that his biggest regret is moving from a private school to a state school and reckons that his happiest times were living in Indonesia as a child. He says he is not a huge drinker and loves a good glossy magazine!

Bonnie was the first proper evictee tonight which is a shame as she provided the first laugh of the series by not being able to pronounce her own name. I also thought she had much more comedy potential than Glyn. She was Vicky Pollard!
And another thing, can anybody understand a word Glyn says
