And thank the Lord we don't have conscription in the UK any more. I really feel for those in other countries who are forced to join up to fight in wars. Being forced to fight and kill other human beings, witnessing the most horrible of sights unimaginable which results in life-long PTSD = ruining their own lives anyway in the long run even if they do survive. Killing & wiping out people they'd probably be friends with had there been no war. Not forgetting the poor men in the 1st & 2nd world wars who were shot for cowardice when really, they were shell-shocked, and suffering from PTSD.

I've long thought that Heads of State & the Powers-that-be should be the only ones to fight ... with each other, to the kill. The winner wins, the loser loses. That would soon put the nonsense out of them. Why should our sons, brothers, daughters, etc, lose their lives while big-wigs sit in their cosy offices giving orders? Makes me sick!

Sorry for the rant - back to BB and Ek'n'chips ...

@Sketchy I LOVE this post 👏👏👏👏
 
I must be really old and not down with the kids because I've never heard of the word "wagan" and wouldn't have had a clue what it meant 😄

I can totally understand Nikita being worried he had said something offensive. I might be fairly old but I make sure I am conscious of what words and terminology I use as I would hate to hurt or offend anyone and would be more than happy to be pulled up and educated if I did say the wrong thing.

100%. I'm not sure why he did it tbh. I know the strictly dancers aren't paid fortunes but they make up for it with their own shows and appearances.

I was really surprised to see him on CBB and don't think I would have done this show in his position.

I think there's a difference to being behind the armed forces and blindly agreeing to getting involved in world affairs.

I actually don't understand why anyone would join the armed forces in this day and age. You are at the mercy of the UK Government and quite often the US Government deciding your fate and who they decide to go to war with. You are expected to kill innocent people caught up in the conflicts whether you agree with what you are fighting for or not. Having said that I feel really sorry for the young men and women who are from poorer backgrounds or haven't had a stable family life who are targeted by the army recruitment, or use it as a way out of their situation the same happens in America. The armed forces is riddled with the class system and the poorest are used as canon fodder, it's disgraceful. https://home.crin.org/evidence/research/british-army-recruitment-and-deprivation-report

This excellent post from @Sketchy sums up how I feel.

Was there not a drunken Irish themed type party in one of the very early civilian BB's where was it a housemate called "Steph" and I can't remember anyone else in it at the moment. I get all the contestants in the early series mixed up as to who was in the house with who.

Something just stuck in my memory of them dancing around and she was dressed as maybe a leprechaun?

I could be totally wrong though 😂

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but after I think I've posted a comment when I post another comment it's at the bottom of the first one and they aren't showing seperately 🤔
