Big Brother...8? oh frankly who cares what number?

'Less than a month to go!' Squeals most Big Brother fan-sites. I'd be tempted to go for the headline of 'Not that time again!'

I'm unable to believe there are still enough people watching for this show to be about to commence its eighth series and as it's the last one at Elstree studios we're all in for some fantastic viewing...

An insider source has said: “It’s set to be a long hot summer of shocks, surprises and twists. Nothing’s been set in stone yet. But whatever they’ve got up their sleeve, it’s gonna be explosive.” And at 94 days it's the longest yet! The wait is unbearable isn't it? This is probably referring to the rumour that the house is set to be blown up at the end, whatever next?

The biggest talking point so far is the new eye design, (above) okay so it looks quite cool but again it raises the question in my head: "So what?" For me Big Brother is Davina McCall, running around as if she cares about these latest 'celebrities,' a term which i use VERY lightly... what is there to enjoy about that? I mean she must be about 40 by now, so there's not even any eye candy!

If you're still reading perhaps you are interested, so here's one potential spoiler:
After 48 hours there will be a surprise..... Oh sorry, you mean it gets more interesting than that? We'll see.
(ps, notice I don't label this as 'entertainment')

Calling all oil tycoons...My Football Club

We've not made a post about sport yet, so why not start with this story that has recently broken.

The premise is that 50,000 football fans all pay £35 each in order to raise enough to purchase a football club... No we've not heard anything like it either!

Creator Will Brooks hopes to make "fantasy football a reality" and we agree it certainly is revolutionary. Who hasn't wished they had the money to own their own football club?

Decisions such as team selection and who to buy and sell will be made by vote and who knows, this may bring some democracy back into the game after the West Ham fiasco.

There is no way of telling whether this will be a success, or how the fans of whichever club selected will react to being bought by 50,000 fans with no idea of how to run a club... It makes for an interesting 'watch this space.'

To sign up and register your vote for the club you need to go to the website, curently 6,000 people have in just a few days (myself included I should add.)

Yahoo! More Online Poker

So it seems Yahoo have begun the ISP war for online real money poker...

Up until now only betting or stand-alone poker sites have offered this service and Yahoo have now opened a huge new avenue due to the number of people who use Internet Service Providers.

Yahoo poker will presumably be a part of the Yahoo Games section of their website, and it is good news for UK poker because of the recent US law affecting online poker in the states - i.e. poker sites cannot be based in the country. It would seem, looking at wickedchops and Partypoker blogs, that some Americans aren't all that chuffed with the idea!

It will surely only be a matter of time before other multi-billion dollar companies jump on the bandwagon and we will most likely see a revival of online poker in the not too distant future!

Until this is set up you can play on any one of many sites out there, but to help you decide here is the list of the top ten from pokerlistings.com.
