For discussion of Big Brother (TV Programme, not Orwellian nightmare).

Laura to win at the moment, although it was dear ol' Shabnam...

How can he be dead? He never existed.

Yeah Winston was killed at the end, his last few moments were described as the bullet pierced through his skull. The ending was basically saying that no matter how hard anyone tries to defeat Big Brother, the machine will always win.

Animal Farm is cool too, dark but brilliant. And it sounds like a child's book or some dodgy porno.

i thought it sounded like a children's book... in fact one of my "freinds" has seen a cartoon version of animal farm... i asked if they'll make a comic of mein kampf next

did anyone here ever read anything by an irish author called Flann O'Brien. He's written At Swim-Two-Birds, The Third Policeman and The Dalkey Archive. I don't know many other people who've read him even though he's hilarious and sinister at the same time. Apparently sales for The Third Policeman have recently shot in the USA cause producers of Lost have hinted
that it may be the premise to the show.

Interesting. huh?

Hmmm i've never heard of him... got a wiki article?

EDIT LOG:
-new lovely posted 3 times due to forum troubles, i kindly deleted 2 of the posts for him.
-man of many crates decided to waste a post on double posting messages:
"you must like him enough to triple-post about him...

"
when he knows full well the forums are acting up. This was also kindly deleted.

Let's stay on topic a bit.

it won't fix... it's either database overload or bandwidth used.
