For the first time in ages I was channel surfing whilst working and came across Big Brother. Yeah, and? What is the fun in watching a load of people in a “constructed” studio “house” screaming and shouting and swearing at each other and eating raw chilli’s in a cupboard whilst talking to a voice? I…
