Have you ever noticed how every reality show seems to have a woman with huge false boobs, and I don’t mean someone who’s had a little booster – I am talking huge ‘comedy’ boobs like Sophie from Big Brother UK. A few years ago people didn’t like the ‘glamour girl’ look and would groan and moan when yet another one walked into the house – they’d usually be one of the first people out of there also.

These days it seems much more acceptable, with glamour girls proving really popular and even winning the shows. Has plastic surgery just become more acceptable and normal these days, or is it just that we’ve got used to them because they feature so much in all our favourite reality shows?

Lots of women seems to come out of reality shows and go looking for affordable breast augmentation these days as well, I can think of several former Big Brother girls who have since had the surgery – I suppose they do it in order to further their careers and get more money from nuts shoots. I think it’s a sad state of affairs – more power to women who want boob jobs for themselves, I have no qualms about that, but in order to please lads mags? That’s lame, just like pop displays.

…Kerry Katona, when she was on I’m A Celebrity I thought she was great, really nice down to earth girl, but it seems we created a monster that series with both her and Jordan coming from it.

I just don’t understand why magazines continue to pay people like her for their stories, “My break up hell”, “My dramatic weight gain”, “I broke my nail!!” etc.

More so, why on earth do people read them? Kerry is in the trash mags again this week on some crazy new diet pill like phenocal or something, apparently it’s her last attempt to lose weight as she’s tried every thing else (and told us all in detail about every moment of it). Here’s a novel idea Kerry, stop going for the quick fixes and miracle cures which you have proven don’t work for you long term — and just eat less and move more for life.

Cripes.

I was singing my web site hosting providers praises just a few weeks ago, I knew I was going to jinx things by doing so.

Actually they are still pretty good, I don’t think I will be searching for the best budget hosting to replace them with any time soon.

Someone complained that I was spamming them, even though they subscribed themselves to the list and could remove themselves at any time. It took many many many emails to my host to get across the fact that the person who complained was an idiot and I had done nothing wrong, but I think we got there in the end.

I did just have a look at the best Unix hosting as rated by WebHostingRating.com though, just so if I do decide to move I have a head start

I am thinking of making a new feature here on 1netez to house my rants on things that annoy me on the telly, and I don’t mean characters on shows — I mean silly random things that no one else probably even notices.

Like the fact that in shop scenes there are never any of those pesky customers getting in the way of the shop assistants conversations — The Cabin in Coronation Street for example is always either empty, or has one regular cast member in it. Come on now, how much would it cost you to pay the occasional extra?

Another thing that bugs me, the way that people on TV shows seem to be able to pick up any old concert tickets they desire with no consideration of the logistics or cost — want some San Antonio concert tickets for a big gig happening tonight? No problem, just wander off for a few minutes and you’ll be back with them in your hand as if by magic. Want tickets to see Coldplay? No worries, they sold out every where months ago but if you want to see them then there will be some tickets left over just for you. Want to get some Phoenix concert tickets so you can treat your new lady friend to a concert to impress her? — great, don’t worry that they actually cost a lot of money and you have no idea if she actually likes that band, just go get ‘em got.

Now truth be told, if someone went out and bought me some Philadelphia concert tickets as a surprise I would be pleased as punch, but it’s just not realistic how they do it in the TV shows and that just bothers my stupid over-thinking brain.

I am pretty sure I need to take these things less seriously and not rant for 300 words about them, that seems like the better option.

Sorry for not blogging for a few days, I was suffering with a cold all last week so didn’t feel much like being online at all…never mind blogging.

I spent the week in bed with some TV, it was a great week to be sick TV wise at least — what with so many American shows coming back on air — Survivor, The Amazing Race, Prison Break, Smallville, Heroes…the list goes on. I also managed to get through some films I have been meaning to watch for ages — Juno, Sweeny Todd, Hellboy and Superbad!

Indeed, there are worse times to get ill…I am almost sorry I am better

Peggy from Eastenders has always been a bit annoying, but the last few days it’s like the producers decided that for a laugh — they’d see just how annoying they could make her over the space of just a few episodes.

If that was the goal they did a very good job, I almost had to turn off tonight because my urge to jump into the TV and slap her was distracting me from my work out.

Demanding people go on her protest, whether they believe in her cause or not? Annoying.

Talking like she’s the boss of Walford? Annoying.

That hat she was wearing? Annoying.

Please, let this story line hurry up and be over.

…of course on the first night in weeks that there was actually loads of shows on last night, my Internet died on me so I was unable to watch any thing.

Now I am all behind. Two episodes of Scrubs, two hours of American Idol and two hours of The Biggest Loser that I just don’t know when I will get the chance to get caught up on.

Grr.

I am not sure that I will watch American Idol this season any way though, I tend not to like it once it gets passed the auditions stage — time will tell.

Just got back from a half price sale at Matalan, picked up a few bits for me and was looking out for some good name boots such as Rocky Boots for my dad to wear while walking or working out in the garden — my mum had tried to get him some for Christmas but could find any that he’d like for a reasonable price.

Finally I saw some that looked like they’d do the job, a nice pair of grey regatta boots, big and sturdy but not steal toe capped — they didn’t have a price on them, of course not that’s typical…I looked and looked and looked and found a few rogue labels for something that was £30, meaning they would be just £15 in the sale but there was no way to know for sure if they’d be them or not.

We decided to just take them to the til and try our look but of course, being boxing day and a half price sale things were busy busy busy, several times we decided to just forget it, but then changed our minds and decided they would so be worth the wait if they were £15.

Gosh knows how long we queued for but when we eventually got there they rang through at…£45…OK then, just my luck that they are about the only thing in the whole store not in the half price sale! Ugh.

Oh well. I will just have to get some from CopShoes.com, I hear they have awesome customer services who are on hand from 8 until late every day

So Strictly Come Dancing finally comes to end.

For 14 weeks I have watched these celebrities dance their little hearts out week after week.

The finale has been on for what already seems like forever, Lisa and Brendan have been voted out and the final two couples have performed their show stopping free style dances.

Tess and Bruce have the results, the finalists are gathered.

Oh the excitement.

So who won?

I don’t bloody know because that was the point my PVR recording stopped — the earlier show overran so the results show was on for an extra 6 minutes meaning that myself and all the other 1000s of people up and down the land that recorded the show to enjoy later missed the result.

Nice work BBC, nice bloomin’ work!
