Trig Brother II

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Some of you may remember this from last year, a good day was had by all except Emma who got evicted first. It's a pub crawl with BB-style tasks, nominations and evictions (to another pub, don't worry). I want to do it again. So what we need are:

- 10 or 12 contestants (plus reserves in case ppl can't make it - and spectators are of course welcome to come and join in the drinking)

- A pub crawl (Pete?)

- A date, probably a Saturday in July.

Who's up for it?

YES PLEASE!

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

with my glasses and my old-man girth i am sandy

― mark s, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Definitely up for this.

― RickyT, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

my ex-modelling career and my nasal whining -> i am Alex. ph34r me. ok, the modelling bit was a lie, but i refuse to be jonny based on geordie upbringing.

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Obviously in for this, though a weekend in July might be a bit tight. I will not make my third place exit error of last years "Hmmm - minestrone".

― Pete, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Incidentally, first-timers and non-regulars should be aware that in Trig Brother I a very infrequent poster (hi Martin!) came second and was a vote away from victory over Tim Hopkins - who we hope will be turning up in at least a commentating role this time!

― Tom, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

actually if commentary is part of the deal, i am also up to be a rub psychologist (which there is no point doing within the group as i wd immediately be voted out on the grounds of being rub) (or right)

― mark s, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Photos from last time -- including the 'minestrone' incident.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No-one bring a camera. I am sure I have put on even MORE weight since then. Oh god. I need to buy some sackcloth and ashes...

― Sarah, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I will probably come along. Whether I want to compete is an entirely different question.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll come along, but I won't compete (as like I don't really drink, and I assume a pub crawl involves drinking)

― jel --, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i wanna see photos of one of you escaping out the roof yes i do

― Queen G of the lamenting anal labias, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jel - drinking isn't compulsory, and sobriety through abstention might prove advantageous in the later stages in the competition when most of those taking part will be a little worse for wear.

― RickyT, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think competing is probably more fun than watching. Even so I think I shall retire undefeated and take an avuncular commentary role, as suggested by Tom above.

Suggestions: fewer pubs, more evictions per pub, allowing for a small increase in contestants if the demand's there. I strongly suggest contestants avoid drinking a pint per round / eviction as I did last time (oops).

Hints for contestants: don't mention the Baxendale or the minestrone. Don't spill each others' drinks. Think on.

― Tim, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And dress conservatively as interesting clothes arouse the envy of others and result in you being kicked off. Pah.

― Emma, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yus please o big brother sir!

― katie, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"may you live in interesting clothes..."

― Tim, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll participate (but can I have the option to wuss out at a later date? :)

― jel --, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes put me down for that!

― Julio Desouza, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

my hand is raised, unless you decide on a weekend where I'm elsewhere.

― chris, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

those photos are scary.

― jess, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My scanning was scarier. Digital cameras must be my future.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I might come along because I've not been to any of these things. They seem like fun, only I'm a bit scared. I don't think I'd compete though because that would be scary+scary.

― jamesmichaelward, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll do it again, I might not be evicted so early this time, hint hint.

(My God I am a fat bastard in those pics)

― DG, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If it's the last weekend in July, I can be there. 27th I think.

― Ally C, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have no idea what BB-style tasks might be (never watched the show), and I expect to be moving house sometime in July, I hope, so I won't volunteer to participate, but it sounds like good entertainment so I'll be along if not madly busy.

― Martin Skidmore, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd be up for that. It involves a pub, alcohol and conversation. What could possibly go wrong?

― Nathan Barley, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If I don't get to play this time I shall cry. Of course I'll cry anyway when I'm evicted in the first 'week'. I need to know dates quite in advance for work though.

― alix, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

HAHAHA THERE IS A PHOTO OF PETE WITH AN ERECTION.

― nabisco%%, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Gareth is deeply scary wit that moog shirt, i shouldn have sent answers to that quiz in his blog

DG was reminding of someone, i first thought it was Jimmy but it didnt seemed too right, then i remembered it was Tony and couldnt stop larfing and larfing and larfing

Tony = the most annoying, boring, lazy, idiot, retarded, fat bastard person i have ever meet, THA HATE(thanx god he went back to Pará)

― Chupa-Cabras, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ok but dg is none of those things, including even fat any more

― mark s, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WHEN I WAS IN TOWN.

― anthony, Wednesday, 12 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

As home matters are finally close to getting resolved, I'd like to volunteer as a contestant (on reserve); I'm small, but light on my feet.

Should I bring along my armour and bungee cord for protection......?

― Nichole Graham, Thursday, 13 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I feel my odds have lengthened considerably for this.

― Ronan, Thursday, 13 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

f***'s sake...

As a newbie here, looking at those photos, was rather surprised that I knew someone. Al Ewing... is he still alive?? Does he go by another ILE moniker??

― bert, Thursday, 13 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Al's my brother which explains the link - he posted occasionally a few months back but not since he moved back to York, I've not seen him since then either, a reunion is long overdue.

― Tom, Thursday, 13 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I may well invite along my v.v.sexy indie ladyfriend L. How do I tell her about it without her thinking "What a sad bunch of wankers"?

― Graham, Thursday, 13 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You don't tell her you're going to be there.

― the pinefox, Thursday, 13 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, you don't tell her you're going to be there.

― Graham, Thursday, 13 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Watching it fot the first time right now (no volume). I see Goldie's been kicked out.

― Venga, Friday, 14 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

now girls, put those handbags away. despite my early exit last year, i'm definately up for it again. if lily can make the 23rd, why don't we have it then then :) did we ever do the rainbow pub crawl? would it in fact be any cop anyway, we need a good big pub like last time for the evictee pub (GHS seems to be the obv choice)

― CarsmileSteve, Saturday, 15 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tom - you look nothing like imagined. All your posts will now have to be re-read, and re-framed. *Humph*

― david h(owie), Saturday, 15 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks Steve, but the 23rd is a Tuesday. 27th I said.

― Ally C, Saturday, 15 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

27th=too close to Glasto surely? I need mental physical and house musical preparation for the days leading up to that weekend.

― Ronan, Saturday, 15 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Carsmile Steve is obsessed wiv MY BURFDAY!

― Graham, Saturday, 15 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

three weeks pass...

YO! SO WHAT'S UP WITH THIS? THE 13TH IS THIS SATURDAY COMING? IS THIS THING ON OR NOT? IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE IS ILL OR BUSY! AND WHAT ABOUT THE FOOTBALL MATCH?

It was arranged for the 13th?

― jel --, Monday, 8 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(sorry there should not have been a question mark after the "13th is this saturday coming")
