Paddy Power has launched a number of "Big Brother" markets prior to the identity of the housemates being know. How about this one:

Gender of Winner

Male - 8/15

Female - 11/8

(All bets will be void if correct sex cannot be established)
 
Who cares. Big brother is for people with no brain cells. Stick some snipers on the wall in a challenge called how many housemates can you pick off.

Singspiel, the point was the sentence in brackets. I posted it as a joke. A joke is something recognised by people who have a sense of humour.
 
Wrong section then. Jokes are at the op of the thread mate. My god you lot on here aren't exactly very welcoming.

That may be necessary - 2 are supposed to be gay and 2 bisexual so as for the other 9 - you may be right! After all it doesn't do to be normal in there these days. I just know you'll be checking in every so often, Brian! :lol:
 
The most annoying prat will probably win. Then will get them endlessly on other reality shows for all eternity where all the other pond life exist.
 
Well having watched the opening show (just for Forum reporting purposes only, I'll have you know!) - we have the following

1. A black gay Tory speechwriter (what do you make of that, Ardross?)
2. The obligatory massive breasted northern lass who thinks she's God's gift (and quite patently isn't)
3. The pretty Oxford student who just happens to be a nympho (& has jsut put the above's nose out of joint by walking thru' the door)
4. The 'Geezer' - jack-the-lad type
5. The obligatory gay hairdresser (who swears more than most)
6. A thick black bimbette
7. A loves himself seventies dancer
8. A really loves himself Italian with a massive..........nose!
9. A dippy black Zimbabwean who's already up for eviction
10. A "modelle" - (also with large breasts).
11. The obligatory Muslim who is also gay and dresses as a woman
12. A white witch who has been abducted by aliens at least 7 times but not for the past 18 months
13. A black "entertainer/DJ"

So there you have them - who's fav to go then, Brian?
 
At this stage there's no betting on who'll be first to go. I don't know where any of these names fit on the above list, but the following five are vying for favouritism, though the betting is very open at this early stage - you can have 6/1 at least any housemate:

Maxwell
Roberto
Saskia
Sam
Anthony
 
Lynsey - no. 10 on Jinny's list I think. If i'm not mistaken she's a wannabe porn star trying to further her career, a few tips for her - get a job.

Martin

Sorry to be pedantic, but she went to Oxford Brookes University - university in name only, former polytechnic!
 
My early money would be on Saskia to win. Possibly Maxwell - both are more normal than the rest.

The witch/alien abductee looks to be having second thoughts about leaving voluntarily and could be interesting?!

But as yet it is just the normal trying to score points off each other and the early rounds of spin the bottle & shock everyone by having a 3-way snog.

Derek the Tory speechwriter has already distanced himself by being too posh & going to bed early.

Lesley (not Lynsey - Martin & she was no. 4) the wannabe porn star is definitely jealous over Saskia's (the "modelle/promo girl") large mammaries and refuses to believe that they aren't false. Cue the odd cat-fight there - also she is not keen on Sam (Oxford Brookes) who is prettier than her - not hard there!
 
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz wake me up when someone is 1/6 favourite.
 
The best thing this year is there is no boring Scottish git in there! :D

And funnily enough I recently read that it is totally legal to shoot a Scotsman with a handgun so long as it is within the walls of the city of York after dark.
 
I reckon it will be between No 4 - The Geezer and No 1 - The black gay tory speechwriter. Most are too outrageous and will become increasingly irritating. When there are six or seven left, the Geezers unending pleasantness will make him the focus when everyone else has run out of things to say, while the black gay Tory speechwriter is inoffensive and his relative well mannered decorum will contrast well with the Geezers big mouth.

I might even manage a few quid on them when I figure out their names.
 
I've watched a little bit of it and I can't stand the majority of them but I do quite like Camel (as he's known on another forum I use). He's gone from 12/1 to 7/1 I think.

Not entirely accurate. There is no mention of a handgun in the law you refer to and I assure you, if you shoot a Scottish man with a handgun in York after dark, you will be prosecuted for murder*.

*Assuming the following:

1) It can be shown the man was a human being
2) He dies as a result of the shooting
3) It can be shown that you intended to kill or seriously harm the man
 
Yes, but 4) is a defence and would not be taken into consideration for the CPS to prosecute.
 
If you are illegally carrying a handgun, can you use it legally in self defence? (taken as given you will be charged with carrying an illegal weapon)
