Are you ‘avin a laugh?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of SeeSaw. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am going to hit up the Comedy Section on SeeSaw at the weekend – it’s been a while since I really got into any comedy shows.

I like the panel type shows like QI, Mock the Week and Have I Got News For You but there hasn’t been a good sitcom for what seems like ages.

Screen_shot_2010-06-15_at_8Though I believe The Inbetweeners returns soon and I cannot wait for that, I rewatched the first two series a few weeks ago and I never, ever, ever rewatch shows!

In order to watch TV shows from around the world like I do I know of and use many sites online – I watch more shows on my computer than I do on my TV by far, especially now that I can’t get BBC channels any more (I don’t know why, I’ve had a man in the loft trying to fix it and every thing :( ) and rely heavily on iPlayer.

SeeSaw is great because you can watch 100s of programs for free and can rent premium shows from the UK and US. Plus it’s all legal and high quality. I also enjoy the facebook and twitter integration so I can quickly and easily share what I am watching with my friends.

I take it back!!

See that post about 3 down, listing John James as my favourite?

Well I take it back.

What is with him and his obsession with Rachael? The fact is that she does sneer at people and given them the “I’m better than you look” that JJ describes, but his obsession over it and the way he attacks her about the smallest of things (Oh no, BB girl who wants to get her baps out after the show…who woulda thunk it?) is completely over the top.

He’s a bit of a nutter it seems.

As for tonight, it’s the first eviction of the summer and we have three girls on the block – meaning that in all 11 series a female has been the first to be evicted. I was really hoping to break that little trend in the final series but hey ho.

Rachael vs Shabby vs Sunshine

I really don’t know who I want out, I don’t really like any of them but each add something to the show. Unlike people like Nathan and Ife and Steve who so far have done very little.

 

Mum trying to lose weight

My mum has just started taking some supplements for weight loss, I am not sure of the exact brand name but they are the same ones my aunt took I think and she lost almost 4 stone with their help so my mum is very excited and hopeful that she will be able to shift some weight. I wish her luck, I know she will be a lot happier in herself if she can

 

I like John James

On opening night I complained that there was no totty for the girls this year, as their rarely is. But John James is growing on me, he’s too young for me at 24 but that doesn’t mean he’s not worth a look ;)

In addition he seems like an alright kinda guy and I love that he reminds me of my beloved Big Brother Australia that I still miss.

It’s the little things like the fact he calls Big Brother ‘Him/He’ rather than ‘Them/They’ because in Big Brother Australia they do all see the big guy as a man, rather than just a random member of the production staff.

He’s definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer but unlike previous thicko BB pretty boys he seems to have a good heart, show a genuine interest in others and isn’t at all shallow.

So far, he’s my favourite :)

 

New music galore

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of goviral. All opinions are 100% mine.

I feel like I have somewhat abandoned new music recently – I have taken up running and been making my own podcasts to go along with the plan I am following so my goal recently has been to find good running songs, that’s it. It’s the first thing I think about whenever I hear a song – “Would that be good for running to?”.

So I have lots of new albums I need to listen to, not to mention loads of new artists to try out. I will probably sit down tomorrow and just have a music day, maybe invite a few of my music loving friends over to share the experience with.

I saw the following video from The Mystery Jets earlier which is what prompted me into this, it’s a preview of their new single Dreaming of Another World and it comes from the Stella Artois’ CO2 Soiree show. The video is set in 1963 and is very Beatlesesque and retro. Take a wee look for yourself:

I love it and can’t wait to hear more from them in the near future, I have really got into The Mystery Jets recently :)

Big Brother UK is back!

For the final time. Though I am not convinced it really will be the final time, from what I have heard Endemol are very interested in another channel buying it so at worst I think it will be off air for a few years and then be revived on a slightly less mainstream channel.

Still, I am going to enjoy it as though it were the last.

I was lucky enough to get a free pass for the Internet feed, I was so happy that the live feed is back 24/7 that I would have been happy to pay the £14.99 actually but you know me, if I can get something for less or free then I am very happy.

So far they seem like a pretty nice bunch, and less shallow and stupid in than in previous years it has to be said. It’s very early days though and those that seem nice now could turn out to be total nightmares, we know this from 10 years of experience!

I will post again soon with my opinions on the housemates :)

‘Citing!

 

Other films I am excited about

I also can’t wait to Watch The Expendables, and Get me to the Greek, and The A Team and actually loads of others – it’s funny because we had free tickets to see any thing we wanted at the cinema a few weeks ago and there was literally nothing either of us were interested in and now all of a sudden there’s a flood.

The Expendables has some seriously big names in it, true legends. I just hope it lives up to the hype and isn’t some awfully cheesy cliche from start to finish!

And thanks to the wonders of the Internet I will be able to find out sooner rather than later as you can stream most movies as soon as they come out, sometimes even before they come out!

 

Grown ups

I am looking forward to watching a few movies at the moment, I have had Kick-ass on my to watch list for ages and am now also really excited to Watch Grown Ups that gets released in August. It has Adam Sandler in it and the gorgeous Salma Hayek and I do love my Dennis Dugan comedies.

The movie follows a group of guys who have been friends since they were kids and shows us they have not done the best job at actually growing up and acting their age – like a lot of men we all know hey? ;)

Looking forward to it!

 

Print this!

I was just looking through some slideshows of Wales, where I go on holiday each year. An offer came up on a bargain site I post on where you could get a free massive poster print and I was going to get one for our flat – however I took so long picking a picture that when I came to order it the offer had expired. Argh.
