Travelling/Returning/Big Brother
Just back from a trip to Germany made thoroughly annoying by the flight back being cancelled and having to come via a ninety minute taxi ride, a different departure airport and a different arrival airport. Not, truthfully, in the greatest frame of mind just at the moment.
En route out there on Tuesday, I spotted a small item in The Independent (can't find a link now) discussing the fact that this year's Big Brother house has divided quite clearly along racial lines, and noting that it all kicked off big time in a row about cider on Sunday night. We saw the highlights of that row on Monday, and at the time I was astonished at some of the stuff which was being said. The most glaring comment of what I heard came from the vile Saskia (white), speaking to Makosi (black), when she said "You're just like the rest of your sort - you've all got a chip on your shoulder." (I paraphrase a little, but not much.)
Unreal.
