Big Brother 2010

Imagine – a room full of young people, living together, sharing their lives, their opinions, their experiences, eating, talking, doing tasks for rewards.

Sound familiar?

No, not the Big Brother House, I’m talking about the guys at Eflex Computers!

But unlike the Big Brother series that will be locking people up from the world for the next 50-odd days for the final time, the guys and gals at Eflex intend to be sticking around for a lot longer thanks to their business savvy.

But have you ever wondered what life is like inside the four walls of Eflex HQ at the moment?

Let’s have a Big Brother-style nose shall we (and don’t forget to put on that very heavy Geordie accent)…

And so, there she is. Kirstie, the spitting-image of Rachael (the Beyonce look-a-like on BB) swanning about the place as though she owns it at the moment having won the Britain’s Got Talent sweepstake last weekend, while the guys are busy trying to ignore her by talking shop, and planning the next batch of cheap laptops they will be refurbishing.

The current debate with the Eflex techie’s is which webcam has the highest resolution for capturing the all-important BB shower-scenes.

That and the nighttime bed-hopping.

Kirstie meanwhile has spent the last few hours trying to decide what to do with her winnings – should she do the honourable thing and treat the boys to some lunchtime KFC, or should she go for a lunchtime pedicure?

To be honest the boys just hope Kirstie goes for a pedicure AND a KFC on her own. That should keep her quiet for two hours. And it would give them enough time to wipe the Spellbound team off her computer screen so she can come back down to earth.

But the next worry is that Kirstie will become hooked to watching live streams of the BB feed from now until the end of the series.

Gary is seriously considering setting up his own Diary Room so that Alex and Paul can feel free to vent their views, and opinions, in confidence because it’s not always easy to talk to your best friend (or boss) about his girlfriend’s annoying habits to his face, especially when you’ve got a face like Gary’s. It has a strange way of suddenly changing colour very quickly.

Talking of faces, Gary looks remarkably like Dave, the Christian Minister in the BB House. But unlike Dave who claims to have visited the sun, the only sun Gary has seen is the tabloid newspaper.

Paul fancies himself as Aussie vehicle body builder John James, mainly because he thinks he can do a pretty good Oz accent. Which he can’t, but he won’t listen, and won’t stop saying everything in a voice that sounds more like a Welsh parrot, than blond Oz body builder.

Alex wants to be like Mario the half-Italian, because he has always wanted a gondola (even though he would never be able to use it on the Kennet & Avon because they are banned).

Jan has been stuck for choice, as there aren’t any over 40s on the BB show, so she’s going with Corin, the one with the Jordaneque bodice. It’s not because of that though, it’s just the Corin is the only one has a normal job: retail.

Oh, and here comes, Kirstie, back from her KFC pedicure…and suddenly there’s a mad scramble for the Diary Room…
